Just bottled the Fat Tire (Tweaked) Clone, brewed my Maine Coon IPA Saturday, had incredible air lock bubbling yesterday, calming to one bubble/4 seconds now. So I have a fermenter open...what to brew?
 
3 gallons of Edwort's Apfelwein, straight up, and 1 gallon of a MV Cabernet kit in secondary ferm. Starting a 3 gal batch of Cran-Apfelwein in a day or two.
 
5 gallons of apfelwein and 5 gallons of honey pale ale (competition bound if it turns out good ha ha)
 
Oh yeah 2 - 1 gallon batch of cheap concentrate wine, less than a gallon of a cinnamon cider... Forgot about them bulking
 
Getting Ready For Our Yearly Oktoberfest Block Party.

Primary 1: Copper Penny Altbier (Northern German Altbier)
Primary 2: Billy Goat Bock (Helles Bock)
Primary 3&4: MFO- Marzen For Oktober (Marzen/Oktoberfest)
 
Dumped my gose, screwed it up (probably could have been drinkable with some WKP644, but I didn't feel like trying).

But now I've got a table saison bubbling away.
 
2 - 1 gallon carboys of barley wine. This gets bottled today.

3 gallons of Saison in the primary. Probably get bottled this weekend, maybe not.

All the Best,
D. White
 
  • 5 gallons Brett C Wild Bitter
  • 5 gallons Brett C Old Ale w/ Port Oak
  • 5 gallons Turbid Mashed Lamebic w/ Chardonnay Oak
  • 5.5 gallons Flanders Red w/ Cabernet Oak
  • 3 gallons Spontaneously Fermented Cider
  • 10 gallons Oud Bruin
  • 10 gallons Flanders Pale Sour Ale
  • 5.5 gallons Session Kriek
  • 5.5 gallons Session IPA
  • 5.5 gallons House Ordinary Bitter
  • 5.5 gallons House Extra Special Bitter
  • 5.5 gallons House Mild

Scratch the Session IPA (bottled).

Add:

5.5 gallons American Amber (Cascade and Citra)
5.5 more gallons of the Rye Pale Ale w/ Galaxy I brewed a couple months ago (on the off chance that it advances at NHC, I want it nice and fresh, and Philly couldn't do me the justice of timely notice).

The Mild and Ordinary Bitter are getting casked tomorrow and Tuesday evenings, the Amber bottled and ESB casked the following weekend. And that should be it for the month. Might have to take a big of a break during May, probably won't have the time or the space for more. But if I can get to them, going to do a Scottish 80/-, a Gose, and a Rye IIPA. Figure while I've got an American yeast running I can keep repitching from, I might as well make use of it.
 
currently, I have a gallon of Kentucky Rye Brown Ale going:

This has about a week left in the fermenter, after which it will hit the bottles for two weeks.

I also have a gallon of EdWort's Apfelwein going:

This is my first attempt at that, so I am very eager to see the results ~

The Kentucky Rye Brown Ale didn't seem quite ready to bottle at the end of last week, so I'm giving it one more week to shake out any relaining fermentation that might be needed. The apfelwein is plugging along, nothing wrong there and it looks to be on schedule.

Over the weekend, I added two 1-gallon batches of Brooklyn Brew Shop's Smoked Wheat to the list:

Near as I can tell, the brewing of both went just about as well as can be, and they are currently engaged in the merry tradition of happily blowing krausen around....
