What's in your fermenter(s)?

Strong PBW solution after a very vigorous porter fermentation. With any luck there will be a wee heavy in it tomorrow night.

I have what started as EdWort's Haus Ale, but the LHBS was out of cascade hops and crystal 10L, so I subbed centennial hops and 20L. I also ended up adding an extra half ounce of hops. Smells good and hit my OG dead on. I've also got my friend's cinnamon spiced amber ale bubbling away. We did a double brew day yesterday, he brought his extract equipment over, and I did an all grain batch to walk him through the process.

 

[Beer-lord]

Right now I only have one beer fermenting. Something I made up with some marries otter, two row, aromatic and crystal and lots of centennial. Smells great, should be nice.

Sunset Gold APA pm version with NZ hops for Jan.

I just did an APA with all NZ hops. Pacifica and Pacific Gem. Turned out pretty good, I stressed the yeast out a little so that it would kick off some esters. Those esters, combined with the fruitiness of the hops, made the beer turn out like a Belgian IPA.

 

[yummybeer]

Have a cider in the primary right now. Plan to do a Millstream Schild Brau clone once my primary is empty.

 

[freemanmh]

5 gallon NB Phat Tyre
5 gallon NB Speckled Heifer
3 gallon Bass clone
3 gallon Guinness clone
1 gallon MO/EKG smash
2x 5 gallon Apfelwein (one has been in primary for 3 months, the other just hit 2 months)

Planning to brew another 1 gallon smash on Thanksgiving.

I actually call this thing Assilepsy Ale. Been thinking about making my own recipe and will need to tweak it over the next few batches but I wanted to make something with MO and figured this is a good place to start.
It is fun funking around.

Just Bottled my White House Honey Porter and racked my Smoked Porter, so primaries are empty. To brew very soon:

• Fireside Ale
• Christmas Wit

 

[jsv1204]

Primary - American Amber (will be my first kegged beer). Also have an elderflower metheglin bubbling. American Red going into the kettle next weekend (Red Friday at my house!)

 

[Knightmare]

I've got an American Amber, Bavarian Hefeweizen and a Rasberry Wheat in fermentors. I'm hoping to do a RyePA tommorow and and a Vanilla Porter this weekend. That would give me 25 gallons at one time which is the most I've ever had fermenting at once.

Great idea, having a themed brew day! Could be blue, black, whatever...

 

[jerrodm]

Primary - Spiced Christmas Ale, will be transferring to secondary, probably on Thanksgiving

Also, 10 gal. of cider which I just put into buckets over the weekend. They've got a way to go.

Will be brewing the White House honey ale over the weekend, to enjoy on Inauguration Day.

 

[rejart]

I've got a snickerdoodle milk stout chugging away right now.

Revvy's Vienna Lager (with a little modification to the hopping) is lagering away in the fridge in the garage, sitting at 34°F according to the thermometer this morning.

An unnamed doppelbock using rinsed and re-pitched WLP833 yeast from the Vienna is just starting to burp the blow-off tube in the brand new chest freezer.

Sitting next to it in a growler is half a gallon of what I guess is a bock. I had some issues with LME settling to the bottom of the kettle for the doppelbock, so my initial dilution was too much. Drew off half a gallon of 1.061 and dumped the good stuff (plus the trub) from the kettle into the big fermentor and got it up to 1.074 (or perhaps a bit more if it was still badly mixed). Although I was zonked at 2:30am while dealing with that, I had the foresight to save both that and some of the leftover slurry that I'd rinsed, so last night I realized I might as well mix 'em up and try to ferment them. The "airlock" is a real beauty made from a blow-off hose, a rubber glove with its finger cut off, and a couple rubber bands.....

A Citra Pale Ale that morphed into a Session Citra Pale after having taken about a gallon and a half too much from the runnings.

I HAD a belgian trippel in the fermenter until it went BOOM! A wee bit too vigorous yeast activity and the the polycarbonate carboy exploded. the AIrlock was found some 30 feet away from the sticky mess. I am very sad

On the bright side of things, we sampled the Pumpkin, bourbon and spiced rum brews. I was surprised how mellow the bourbon was. the pumpkin will be drinkable for Thanksgiving and the Rum was still quite harsh. I will revisit the rum at Christmas. If still not ready, I will put it into storage for next Thanksgiving

Holy crap! And here I thought that was one of the selling points for plastic fermenters!

I just brewed a brown something or other. As my signature says, it was supposed to be a Tumbler clone, or at least something resembling at least a first cousin. I think it might turn out to be more like "the guy that lives up the street" in likeness. Oh well, at least my abortive starter took hold and is happily munching away on sugars.

Hoping to find time to brew up a... I dunno, 'nother CDA, maybe, before Christmas.

 

[eyebike]

I just bought a 8 gallon bucket so head room will not be an issue again
It was going to be a good brew. the tasting before I put in the yeast was wonderful.
