Did a batch of Edwort's Haus Pale Ale Friday night. The Nottingham is happily foaming away as I type this. This was my first try at this recipe and I screwed a few things up a little but it should still be good.
 
Belgian blond with wlp550 smells awesome.

My carboy has some trub left after bottling my latest IPA last night. My bucket will soon have my London pale ale going in it, hopefully by noon.

7 gallons of Rye Farmhouse Ale. The White Labs 670 American Farmhouse I used has a ridiculously narrow temp range of 68-72 degrees but Belgian strains usually aren't that good fermented that low. At any rate mine is sitting at 82 degrees and thankfully I used a blow off tube. It smells amazing we'll see what happens

82F is awfully high at least for the first few days, can't you rig a swamp cooler?
 
I moved it to the basement where it will be cooler. That temp range is odd to me 68-72? Really a 4 degree temp range?

I have never been happy with any of the belgian strains i've used ( wyeast forbidden fruit and 1214 mangrove jack dry belgian) fermented in the recommended range they all turned out boring. The danstar bell saison yeast recommendation is a max 78 degrees with the help of a heating pad and sleeping blanket I had it up to 85 and it us sensational easily my favorite non ipa i've ever brewed.

When i moved the fermenter from My 80 degree garage down to my basement beer room which the thermometer reads 65° the thermometer that is down in the wort read 85°. After running errands for about four hours I went down the basement to check the temperature of the beer and it now reads 91.4°

I could smell it through the closed door as I was walking down the stairs and it smells all kinds of wonderful. I don't brew enough to justify in my mind the cost of a fermentation chamber, in fact this is my last beer until fall.

A coconut and coffee porter brewed last night. Quite excited as it is my first "additive" beer. Used some toasted coconut and whole coffee beans for last 5 min of boil and steeped for 15 mins before wort colling. Hoping for the best. the coconut is definitely evident...
 
Temp is down to 76 degrees on the rye fsrmhouse now abd all the wonderful aromas faded as the the temp dropped now it smells like every beer ive brewed with a belgian yeast, boring. Putting it back in the garage tomorrow and letting it get as warm as it will for a week then back in the basement for a month or so.

My London Pale ale is just bubbling away, 18 hours after pitching wlp007, dry English ale. That never gets old!

Just racked my pale ale into a secondary last night. The grain bill is based off the R2H56. The hops are what I had on hand: Liberty (bittering) mosaic and sterling. It was in primary for about 45 days. I decided to throw in some dregs from Love child No.4

It had a sort of dank earthy smell to it.
 
Drinking now: Kama Citra Session IPA
Just bottled: Surly Furious
In secondary: Jamil's Evil Twin
In Primary: Dawson's Multigrain Red
 
Still has my London Pale ale after 7 days... Tomorrow will see my Irish Red ale in my carboy.

#1 Paulaner clone with free rise temperature twist, for banana/temp research.
#2 American early and late hopped "ale", with german hops in the middle on s05
#3 Something, Pale/Pils/wheat grist with English bittering, american in the middle and saaz late on 17C WLP300.

5-6 days into fermentation, and #2 is so far the winner.
