I spent a chunk of my home brew equipment fund on some really nice microbrews even though I told myself I wouldn't :(


All isn't lost though, the beer is really good :)
 
Cleaned my dirty kitchen and peeped to bottle a Hefei my brew partner rocked out...awsome

Yep. Years ago I was stationed with a guy who brewed. Had some of his beer and it was delicious but have to admit wasn't even interested in brewing; it was to complicated and intimidating at the time. LOL

Awsome I try to talk about my brewing and everybodys like their he goes again.. O well have fun drinking cat piss I say..
 
I finished recycling a batch of German bottles & got them stored away. got one fermenter cleaned,dried,& ready. Gotta check batch 2 of her summer shandy again tomorrow. Might be bottling it soon if it's settled out enough.
 
Took apart half a dozen cornies and gave them a nice oxyclean soak bath. Added some Russian River dregs to a "solera" fermenter and spent far too many minutes smelling some airlocks
 
Picked up 10lbs of Vienna malt, a mash paddle, and a packet of US-05 for my first all grain I will be brewing on Sunday, a Vienna/Northern Brewer SMaSH. So stoked :ban:
 
Grabbed a variety of Irish beers from Total Wine.

Moved the jug of starter used to harvest yeast from juniper berries to the fridge to cold crash. Going to sour a gallon of sahti with them.

Hugged my bucket of almost-done-fermenting sahti.
 
Yesterday, I enjoyed a Widmer W'12 Saison (impressive and refreshing)

Today, I am picking up bottling supplies at AHS and transferring my 1 gal Vienna/Cascase SMaSH into secondary.
 
Bottled my BIAB, dark English Mild and brewed a 5G batch of brown ale...
 
Picked up a growler of beer from a local nano and planted my first 3 rhizomes. I got Cascade, Centenial, and Galena. I also ordered Columbus, Chinook, Glacier, and Hallertau. I might double up on the Cascade as I have 2 rhizomes.
 
I took the intro to all grain brewing at northern brewer in Minneapolis. Learned a lot of different things I didn't know in relation to all grain and just general brewing! Thanks to the guys at northern brewer for putting on a great class!
 
Pitched the dregs from a bottle of Bam Noire into a small batch of a pale ale, just to see what happens
 
dry hopped my Belgian IPA, hydrometer sample points to it being amazing in one long month.

About to go prep my grains and water for tomorrow's Belgian pale wild yeast experiment
 
Transferred my pale ale to secondary for dry hopping. I ordered some WLp005 after having good experiences with wlp002 and 007 recently. I like the character that English yeast adds.
 
Just bottled 5 gal cascade pale ale & 5 gal Amarillo IPA. Heating the strike water for a 10 gal batch of Citra IPA....Also gotta rack my Spotted Cow Clone. Busy, busy!!!

I brewed a 10 gallon citra ipa and bottled five gallons of apa. I also drank the last bottle of my first batch, a robust honey porter, and am building up the yeast.
 
Brewed an IPA to use up some of the leftover specialty grains I had laying around (including some flaked oats). So we'll see how it turns out.

Put the finishing touches on recipes for my next couple batches.

Drinking a couple homebrews.
 
Brewed 5 gal NBrewer Baltic Porter extract kit. The ingredients for my all-grain BIAB Belgian WIt are staring me in the face for next weekend!
