That sounds awesome
 
Picked up the remaining ingredients for tomorrows stout brew day. Dry-spiced the holiday spiced cranberry ale. Tried my first sour wit.
 
Cleaning the brewhouse so it can be introduced to the guy who welded the frame together about 7 years ago.

Cleaned a serving vessel
Transferred 3bbl into aforementioned serving vessel
Cleaned fermenting vessel
Double checking all ingredients for Pumpkin Ale and waiting on grain shipment to arrive.
 
Just bought a ready to go four tap keezer from someone who has gone professional. All I need to do now is brew more beer..... so I just ordered a Pliny the Elder kit from MoreBeer.com
 
Tried a sample of the vanilla porter after just one week in the bottle and 15 hours in the fridge. Amazing, can't wait to try it again in a month!

Bottled and kegged the holiday spiced cranberry ale.

Brewed up a chocolate oatmeal stout. Will add coffee to it in secondary.
 
Checked my inventory to make sure I have all the ingredients for the robust porter I'm brewing tomorrow.
 
Picked up ingredients for tomorrow's oatmeal stout, kegged my pumpkin ale, soaked the better bottle, and cleaned the keg from the recently kicked IPA.
 
Dragging the brewstand to the patio for a good clean and sani cycle. Can't brew until I do maintenance and purchase propane. I expect to kick a keg today (Roll Tide) and clean tap lines. I should check a gravity and might keg a red ale.

Edit: keg kicked and I didn't even get beer. It was mild ale last night, was straight yeast today. Keg is cleaned and will be used to clean tap lines. Then I shall keg.
 
Ordered a pound of simcoe to split with a buddy and waiting for the mail to bring me 3 pounds of hops I ordered earlier in the week. Now it's time to get some recipes and a brew schedule together
 
Brewed up my 3rd batch of Commune Copper Ale and topped off at 82% efficiency!

Bottled up my second batch of Revvy's Belgian blonde and it turned out crystal clear!
 
Bought 2 sixes, you know just to harvest the bottles. Both flying dog
 
Brewing the second iteration of what will become my house IPA. About 10 minutes left in the mash... :rockin:
 
Enjoyed my Falconer's Flight IPA (70 ibu and dry hopped w/ 2 oz) and grilled some big steaks. Checked a batch of Apfelwein (bottle next week) and ordered ingredients for a Coconut Porter.

Racked RIS to secondary and finally mounted my 9 inch collar to the keezer so I could fit more kegs in there. After all, I've got to have a spot to put that new keg and some wood on which to mount that new bottle opener. :D
 
Brewed an all-grain White House Honey Ale with a friend. Downloaded a trial of Beersmith 2. Realized I like it more than the older version when I tried it, and think I might actually buy it this time.
 
Added ~8 lbs of fresh blackberries to the hefe I brewed last weekend, and cleaned up an enormous overflow of purple goodness a few hours later.
