It's been a busy winter/spring, and I have a lot of fermenters available to me, so...

1. Arkador's Dunkelweizen - 5gal
2. Basic Wit - 5gal
3. Throwndown APA (local competition) - 5gal
4. Honey Mild - 3gal
5. Chamomile Honey Wheat Beer - 4gal
6. Cascade Willamette IPA - 5gal
7. Mild Styrian Ale (2nd runnings from IPA mash) - 1gal
8. Big fat belgian Dubbel - 5gal
9. Fresh pressed apple cider - 5gal

5 of those are ready for bottling. I'm really really wishing I was setup for kegging. That's the main reason why things are sitting, I just don't want to take the time to bottle.
 
I have a Mixed Berry (raspberry, blackberry, strawberry) Wheat that just went into the secondary.

It was my first AG and it didn't run as smoothly as I would have liked. But I now know where I can make changes to my process. On the bright side, I tasted some when transferring to secondary and it was delicious. I can't wait to have it when its ready :mug:
 
Botled v2 of my Hopped & Confused about a week ago,drained PBW soak out of fermenter #2 into bottling bucket to soak for an hour. Then rinse & sanitize both. Dark hybrid lager in bottles three weeks tomorrow with 5 in the fridge yesterday afternoon. Crystal clear & hoping the new SA bench capper solved another lil problem.
I think the Super Agata works a bit better than the other one midwest sells $6 cheaper...caps seem to go on "looking" tighter on the sides.
 
A German Pale Ale that has finally showed signs of life after 24 hr. Yeast was kolsh reaching its best by date,not to mention shipped in frozen temps ,which never arrived froze.Did notice a half size of yeast compared to the other vial and a darker color currently unlike before. Pretty stoked now,I ended up puttting yeast engerizer in it 4 hrs before I seen it start.Nice white cap finally.I did have to crank my temps to 70's to get it going to help also. Ideally I would have made a starter but I only had time to make the beer impromtu.Only a 1.5 gallon also so..thought maybe I would be good there(apparently not) starters are definalty good.I almost always do a starter with wlp vials,whether harvesting or making a batch.
 
Last weekend:

Saison and a brown ale (don't judge the pink room)


This weekend:

Berlinerweisse, 1 gal racked onto mixed berries for ferm.

Currently

5.25 gallons of American Pale Ale in Primary Bucket
5.50 gallons of Pino Grisio White Wine in secondary in Carboy
 
I thought I'd do this as a quick, informal poll. Who knows -- might pick up an idea for the next batch! :D

Right now, I've got a Miller Light clone in the primary, using this recipe as a base. My variation is using Northern Brewer (7.9% AA) at the boil, otherwise following the recipe. I brewed it yesterday.

What you got?
10 gallons of American Premium Lager
10 gallons of Cream of Three Crops
10 gallons of Irish Hills Red
5 gallons Rippin Orange Wheat
 
5 gallons of Selins Grove Shadow Mountain Oatmeal Stout Clone

5.5 gallons of a Magnum/Centennial/Chinook IPA recipe I have been working on. Took a reading yesterday and its about 2 points away and the krausen was still going. Hydrometer tube sample tasted awesome, very floral and balanced. Should be even better after I dry hop :ban:
 
I think an imperial stout might be something for the late summer to have it ready for the colder days. I'll try it
 
Just got my partial mash NZ IPA in the fermenter a lil while ago. Healthy 1.060OG too. Gunna dry hop it with the .8oz each I have left of the Motueka,pacifica,& wakatu I used for flavor hop additions. Bittered with pacific gem. Used UK grains with some crystal & carapils. Tried a pound of demerara sugar to get it up to minimum American IPA gravity according to BS2. Needed more than the 3lbs of Munton's plain light DME for this one.
Relaxing with my reward of some of my dark hybrid lagers.:tank:
 
Batch of Lakefront IPA clone(getting bottled in about 2 hours) and a IIPA recipe I came up with...Hoping to refill at least one of them next weekend!
 
A new ESB is in the Secondary, and I just brewed (yesterday) a Angry Monster IPA. Brewsmith calculated 147 IBUs... yum!
