Just added 9 gallons of Dogfish Head 60min clone, and 5 gallons of Galaxy/Nelson Sauvin Blonde (modded the Centennial Blonde).

Can't wait to drink both of those!!
 
5.5 gallons of "Lambic" (resembling. It was originally a Berliner Weisse I stepped up with extra DME and inoculated with gueuze dregs), 1 gallon smoked porter w/ 2 Jalapenos, 1 gallon smoked porter w/ 2 Serranos, 1 gallon smoked porter w/ 1 Habanero, 1 gallon smoked porter w/ 1/2 Bhut Jolokia, 1 gallon smoked porter w/ 1 Jalapeno, 1 Serrano, 1 Habanero, and 1/2 Bhut Jolokia.

And then if we're counting them, starters "fermenting" of Wyeast 3787 Trappist High Gravity for a Tripel, and Wyeast 3724 Belgian Saison for a Saison (w/ a pack of 3711 French Saison in the wings for when the 3724 inevitably tells me to shove it and quits attenuating). Both those are getting brewed over the weekend.

I just brewed a English ordinary bitter over the weekend so that makes it now.

5.5 gallons of a English bitter
5.5 gallons of a West Flanders red ale
5.5 gallons of a traditional turbid mashed lambic
5.5 gallons of saison être
 
Metheglin with vanilla/ginger. Had too much volume,for my 2 small fermenters so I used one small and my 3 gallon,must have had 3.5 gallons total-9# honey/3 gallons of water.
First one,not brewing this summer and used pretty much all my grain/hops up(last batch)-save for a 1/2# of roasted barley I vaccume sealed to the freezer.
So thought it was a good opportunity for a mead and maybe appropriate especially being newly married and having a first child come January.Thought it would be good by then too-why have an empty carboy-anyway?. So Ill hand some out to family after the baby. Think Im just going to use beer bottles. Im guessing it may be around 10%. Im so used to boil off that I kinda didnt think of my ending volume,oh well I have more now. Ill probably end up racking a few times till I can get a full 3 gallon back into my 3 gallon carboy and whatever left over in a growler for secondary maybe before bottleing (maybe Ill oak the little one).
 
El cheapo CostCo Chardonnay (Argentia Ridge). This is the second of the two kits that came in the box. It's a pretty bland wine and I won't be buying anymore of it. However with the summer coming on it will be put to good use making spritzers and slushies.

One gallon jug of apfelwein.

You are going to wish you had more of that.

Even more red rice wine. Testing to see if you can reuse the starch mass to do another batch. It's looking good so far.
 
2 gallons of something similar to Yoopers hard lemonade and 5 gallons of a pale ale that I dry hopped a week ago and need to bottle soon.
 
Bottled my Maori IPA Saturday,brewed one of two Berlin Wheat PM kits Sunday. The wheat started at 60.8F @ 5:54 & by 8:04 pegged the airlock center piece to the cap. It's now at 71.6F & bubbling steadilly. Good thing it's in the Cooper's micro brew fermenter,which is some 27L clear full. At 19L recipe volume,it's bubbling steadilly enough that the 2nd kit in the Ale Pail will likely need a blow off.

Is that the one where you had the two nutrient packets?

Nope, a one gallon jug of apfelwein is going to be enough because there is (almost) always at least one jug brewing away in the fermentation chamber, sometimes two.

My 5 cubic foot chest freezer can only hold one full size fermenter at a time but the hump over the compressor can hold two one gallon jugs with clearance enough for the airlocks. It's a rare occurence that there isn't at least one jug sat on there.

I've got some apfelwein that is over five months old. I'll be cracking a bottle this weekend to see how it's doing.
