#1: Traditional Mead (5gallons, the previous 10gallon batch is disappearing much faster than I expected!)

#2: Cerveza Rosa (my recipe: light saaz ale with rosa jamica added for color and flavor)
 
My dry mead is sitting happily in its smaller secondary carboy, with its little brother, a half-gallon bottle with an airlock.

The other carboy has 5.5 gallons of a PM version of Revvy's Vienna Lager wort sitting in it, chilling down to 45 degrees and waiting for the starter to finish crashing so I can decant and pitch. I'm not very happy with the 18-24 hour wait between the end of the boil and pitching, but I don't have much choice at this point.

It wasn't even down to pitching temperature by this morning, anyway, so even had I had time to pitch, I would have wanted to wait a bit longer anyway. Hopefully my sanitation was good. It's cold enough that between the careful sanitizing and it's being almost refrigerated anyway, I think I should be ok.
 
6 gallons Chimay Blue

6 Gallons IPA

5 Gallons Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

5 Gallons Belgian Wit

18 Gallons Apple Wine

5 Gallons Blueberry Wine

5 Gallons Skeeter Blood Wine
 
I bottled the Saison Noel and Belgain Stout.

I've brewed 2 more batches of Saison with Nelson/Citra & ECY-03 since, one with rye and the other wheat.

Abbey Brown ale with pils, cararuby, aromatic, special B, homemade syrup, and wlp530 is bubbling away nicely at 66-68 as I type.
 
right now strawberry banna mead, a dry cyser with ginger, and a high abv [16%] lemon ginger mead, that I call the cure for the common cold

The two I just orderd I imagine are sitting at the grape and granary, with all the other goodies and the grain bill for 2x red headed lover and 2x ed worts haus pale ale [plus anything else I order before the weekend].
 
I have a split 11 gallon batch of Foreign Extra Stout - half with London Ale III and half with Irish Ale.

Please post your tasting notes when they're done? I'd love to hear another take on those, especially on a stout!
 
5 gal of German hefe in one primary. 5 gal of hoppy porter in another primary. 5 gal of bohemian pils in a secondary. I think I need to brew again tomorrow or Friday to keep the pipeline full.

Just bottled the pale ale yesterday and racked the Russian Imp Stout to secondary. the black ipa and the stout get bottled in 2 weeks

looking for a big ipa to brew this weekend that would be good the end of january:ban: any suggestions?
 
I have Caribou Slobber brown ale in my secondary; Bottle date expected Thanksgiving weekend.
Primary #1 has an Irish Red Ale. Bottle date expected 11/30 and Primary #2 is a batch of Cream Ale with expected bottle date of 12/01. A buddy of mine is giving me another 5 gal glass carboy this week so I'll have 2 secondaries. That will free up a primary to get another batch in for the holidays.

One thing you have in your favor: Underground temps rarely go below 58 degrees below 24" in most parts of the country.
