I had filled all 9 of my kegs for late-summer and fall parties last year, so my pipeline remained empty while I worked through my stock. Now some of the kegs are starting to kick, so I've fired up the boil kettle again and started refilling the pipeline. Currently in fermenters: 5 gallons each of Milk Stout and Simcoe SMaSH IPA. This weekend, brewing my award-winning all-Citra Pale Ale.
 
Von Franken Blonde. Magnum and Opal hops. Changed my mind last minute on yeast, used US-05. Typo on my PM recipe, instead of 1.059 OG I got 1.072. 1 pkg yeast, not good. 36 hours no action in air lock. I opened bucket and found nothing, nada, not a bubble etc. So I pitched my original yeast choice saflager 34/70 (2 pkg) cooled to 52f. So we will see what happens with fermentation and taste.
 
5 gallons of Caribou Slobber (AG)
5 Gallons of Bell's Two hearted IPA clone(AG)
5 Gallons of Double Chocolate Stout (Extract-Xmas gift from SWMBO she loves it)

soon- 5 Gallons of Bourbon Barrel Porter

Right next to them on the floor is:
10 gallons dry blueberry wine
5 gallons dry peach wine
 
5 gallons of an APA with Golden Promise with Magnum/Mosaic.

Soon is 5 gallons of an American Wheat with White Wheat/2 row/Munich with Magnum/Sorachi Ace.
 
In primary I have an English Bitter, the beer half of a Braggot and a Black Currant/Blackberry mead. Don't have anything in secondary. This weekend I'll be making an Irish Red.
 
IPA, saison, kolsch and funk kolsch.
Next weekend I'll add pale ale to that.

Cream Stout (7%) with lots of coffee and chocolate; some vanilla, cinnamon, and oats were used as well, but shouldn't be as dominant as the coffee/choc. I love a good mocha stout! :mug:
 
Fermenting:
3 Gallons - Cream of Three Crops - Extract Test Version.
1 Gallon - Beyond Blonde (Brooklyn Brew) All Grain.
2.5 Gallons - American Strong Ale (Made with 2 Mr. Beer kits + some extra DME, Rice Solids and hops I had lying around)

In Fermenter but done:

5 Gallons - Citra Assasin IPA. (Just need to remove dry hops and bottle. Will be posting recipe eventually.)
 
roggenbier

5 gal

5 lb 2-row
3 lb unmalted rye
2 lb home-malted, home-toasted dark wheat malt

1 oz mt hood 60 min
1 oz mt hood 15 min

one pack of WB-06

edit: crushing the home-made wheat malt produced the most heavenly aroma in my recent memory
 
3 gallons normal Kolsch
3 gallons funky Kolsch
5.5 gallons Saison
5.5 gallons IPA

Can't wait to start a APA this weekend.

Can I just say that having too many carboys is a curse. I went from having 2 - 5 gallon carboys to having 5 total (2x3g, 2x5g, 1x6.5g) and now I feel like if I don't keep at least 4 of them full I will be wasting space.

The saison, the IPA and the kolsch will be bottled on the same day, so I'm going to split the saison and toss it in the 3 gallon the kolsch was in and funk it with some Brett L. But then I will have 2 empty carboys. What to do!! Looks like I will have to brew up the dry stout I have been planning (using a partial sour mash).

But I have so many ideas of trying to funk things and let others age, that in the back of my head I am wondering "should I just get a few more 3 gallon carboys...?"

I need to reign myself in here guys, otherwise I will end up with 10 carboys by the end of the year.
 
Gonna make me an IPA today to put in vessel #2. I am tired of being cooped up inside from this midwest arctic/snow blast. I gotta do a partial though and use my stove top like old times. Should be fun though and break up the monotony!
