My first session IPA....11 gallons with 22oz of hops including dry hops.
My brother grabbed half and I'm in control of the other half. 10 hours later, yeasties are off to the races.
Fermentor - 1 20g of animals IPA (house special, only during late spring and early summer)
Fermentor - 2 10 gal of my weed wackier wheat
Fermentor - 3 (or my what my wife calls it's, the mean machine) I have 20g batch of my favorite, cascade hop bomb. (TIPA)
And hopefully I'll be able to get another batch of double hopped stout.
Unpitched 1.040 wheat ale (still cooling in the ferm chamber - I really need to get a pre-chiller and a good source of ice). Will be pitching in about four hours when I can head home after lunch. It's gonna get 100g of quality loose-leaf Chinese black tea after primary fermentation, I just hope that's enough!
Brewed a cascade APA on memorial day and it's bubbling away now! I have a baby on the way in early July so hopefully I'll get in at least 2 more brews to have a small pipeline so we don't run dry!
6 gallons of an ipa brewed with copious amounts of columbus comet summit and amarillo hops it smelled like someone was doing bong hits in my garage....at least what friends of mine have said that smells like, so fingers crossed it will be funky/dank
15 gallons of cream ale without corn and rice. Barley, red and white wheat, oats, triticale, and rye. So session, so good. The next batch will have triple sweet corn.
Ipa/saison hybrid with orange peel, coriander, pepper, and cardamom. Hopped using 1 oz simcoe @ 60 min and 1 oz each Amarillo and saaz @ 10 min. 4 gal with us05 and 4 more with 3711. Sitting around 66 f in my chamber. Excited to see the difference between the two yeasts.
My first try at a session IPA. Looks like it will end up a bit high.....5.25% ABV and I was shooting for 4.75% but so far, so good.
The hardest thing is to keep a good body and mouth feel in a beer like this.
Baptism Summer Ale (high ABV American Wheat)
IPA (mix of Cascade, Simcoe, Centennial, and Chinook)
Apfelwein (Brown Sugar)
Apfelwein (Cranberry & Honey) ...SWMBO is really looking forward to this one.
5 Gal. Mosaic White IPA dry hop underway
5 Gal. Mosaic White IPA fermenting with American Farmhouse yeast...not sure how long to keep it on the yeast cake....
I've been fermenting it in my home office area as the temp has been steady at around 65 and my basement is a little too cool. Didn't look at the forecast and yesterday it got quite warm on Cape Cod and found my beer happily bubbling away at 77F.
I put it in my basement as it has now warmed to 62F ambient.
Yeah...I know...build a fermentation chamber but through the cooler months the home office works and through the warmer months the basement works. It's just during that flux period were it's warming up or cooling off that this happens.
Just got my dampfbier-Lake Erie Steam-in the fermenter @ 4:11pm. Already pegged the airlock center piece. Can't wait to see how it turns out...:rockin:
