So While we're talking about fermenting, the waiting on these beers is killing me. Methinks more brew days is the solution.
 
I have a great fermentation solution for anyone like me who is banged up at the moment. I'm recovering from a broken leg so I can't move around easily or pick up the weights required in brewing.

Edwort's Apfelwein - 5 gallons. I just did it all in the kitchen and moved it into the pantry while balancing on my good leg. Can't wait to get back into some beer brewing though.

You sir, are setting the bar for the rest of us. Way to get in there and do a batch while you're banged up. I'm sure there's a clever name for the batch in this story somewhere.

Thanks, I'm sure I'll come up with a name for it after I've drank a bit of it.:mug:

Or I'll be passed out on the floor calling Edwort an MFer
 
5.5 gallons of arrogant bastard clone waiting to be bottled and 5.5 gallons of freshly brewed pale ale
 
I've finally gotten time to brew again!

Here's what is going so far -5 gallons each of

- Classic American Pils
- Irish Red

Hoping to get some Marzen and SWMBO Slayer going this weekend.

I've totally been eyeballing the harbor freight hydraulic cart (holds up to 500 lbs) for counter to floor transfers. This makes me feel like a total wuss ;p.
 
Riwaka? Sounds jawanese...:D

Its a new Zealand hop, I havn't used it before but I think it may be the main flavour hop in one of my fav beers (Kiwi Unleashed by Black Dog) so im going to give it a go.

Still very much in the experimental phase of brewing (just incase chocolate in a pale ale doesn't tell you that) so might end up with a half n half on this batch.
 
Just moved 10 gallons of IPA to kegs and 10 of Imperial amber to secondary to dry hop. 10 gallons of dry stout is fermenting and five gallons of Vienna lager is lagering. Just bottled five gallons of a Trappist ale and have a rye beer boiling that I'm going to repitch the Trappiest yeast into. Oh, and there is some cream ale about ready to package too.
 
I have not played in a while.

A blonde sour
A Gose
A Saison with oats and brett
A saison with rye. and brett
A Belgian tripel
And and IPA
 
I've got a pale ale that I used my homegrown hops in. Just transferred to secondary and had a taste....I liked it!!

Kegging coffe porter 8.2%. , I guess technically it is not in fermenter any more, time to filler back up!

Helluva conical you got there. Are you pumping that into the cornies? Even if not you could have some fun with them and attach a beer out QD to the fill hose and pump into them that way (maybe even jumper between kegs so that the gas out fills the next one. You should have enough force from gravity for it to work too.
 
Keg 1- Citra IPA
Keg 2 - Dry Stout
Keg 3 - Dunkelweizen
Keg 4 - Raspberry Cider

Ferm 1 - Mead
Ferm 2 - Sweet Stout
Ferm 3 - American Brown
Ferm 4 - Red Rye PA
Ferm 5 - Belgian Tripple
Ferm 6 - Pilsner

Yes I am pumping, only because I am going through two filters, the first being a 5 micron,and the second being 1 micron. Prob. Overkill using two, the 1 micron alone would be fine, then I could use the other filter housing for hop infusion. If I was not filtering, I would just use gravity from the rotating racking arm. I have a thread about my 35 gallon conical build on here somewhere if you are interested, I like it a lot.
 
Listed by age, I currently am fermenting or aging:
1) rosalaire saison split with various dregs in each
2) ecy20 saison
3) ecy20 extract lambic
4) jolly pumpkin dregs saison
5) Belgian Golden Strong
6) Flanders red, half with ecy20 half with almanac and Russian River dregs

Belgian should be ready to keg in about a week or two. I'm going to age a few gallons of it on different bretts to see which I like best for bottle conditioning.

On deck to brew I have:
Black ipa
Galaxy pale ale
Berliner weisse

Currently in kegs I have:
2012 barleywine
2014 stout
Cider
Porter

In bottles I have a few different stouts and 2 sours.

Seems like a lot.
