Brewed up the Pumpkin Ale yesterday and it smelled and tasted wonderful. Put 2 cans of pumpkin in the mash and one can in the boil along with McCormicks Pumpkin Pie Spice at flame out along with Cascade hops. Can't wait for this one to be ready!
 
Double chocolate milk stout.

Mini mash brew using a Cooper's OS Stout kit for LME and bittering hops.
Grains include canadian 2 row, crystal 120 and chocolate malt.
Other stuff: 8oz unsweetened Baker's chocolate, 1lb lactose.

It was put down over 2 weeks ago and there is still a layer of "krausen" on it. It appears to be about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick, light brown in color and has very "solid" look to it.

I don't know if this is normal when you use real chocolate (first time doing this). I hope it doesn't cause too much problems when I bottle this upcoming weekend. I'm guessing clean up is going to require a little more effort than usual.
 
Primary:
5 gal Belgian pale ale
5 gal Blonde ale
5 gal Mosiac IPA

5 gal American Barley wine
5 gal Czech pilsner
 
5 gallons version2 of Hopped & Confused pitched on fat tuesday.

Now to wait on bottling days of 11 gallons of ale! :ban::ban::ban:

10 gal Nugget Nectar Clone (80% vienna version)
5 gal Eisbock (1.013 OG!)

Just pitched the yeast this morning. . .
 
APA with 100% Brett Brux. Can't see much fermentation going on, but perhaps that's not unusual? (This is my first all Brett ferm.). It smells like Brett a little, which seems a good sign.

How much did you pitch?

I'm bottling two or three batches, lots of brew stuff cleaning, and weighing out grains for tomorrow's brew, round two of my 'Flanders' Red with WLP 665. Called the first batch Ned, this one is Todd, and if do a third with the same culture, Rod of course.
 
Right now I have a chocolate milk stout and a saison in the fermenters. I actually just put my saison out in the hot Florida heat to get it up around 80 for the next few days. Should be good!

Thought it was going to be a red IPa but after looking at the low hop amount I did, guess its going to just be an amber/amber hybrid-which will be dryhopped with Anthum. Although I would like the different grains I used to come thruough in this rather than all hops.
 
5 gallons of Hopped & Confused v2 & 6 gallons black smoky lager past initial fermentation at this point. Next Tuesday & Saturday will be on week each,respectively. Cool temps since right before Fat Tuesday are working out pretty well for the WL029 yeast. :ban:
 
Argentia Ridge Chateau Private Selection Estate Chardonnay.

That's a pretty fancy name for a cheap-ass wine kit I picked up at CostCo.

I just put it on tonight. It's my first "table wine" kit (I've done a couple Orchard Breezin mist wines with decent results) so I decided to go with a cheaper one.

It was $70CDN for a double kit (basically the ingredients of two kit packaged in the same box - 2 bags of grape juice concentrate, 2 bags of oak chips, 2 packages of yeast, etc. etc.). At about $1.17CDN a bottle I'll be satasfied if the end result is merely drinkable, I'm not expecting miracles.
