Thanks. You know how people say "I had it coming out of all holes?" Well, I really did. I woke up in the middle of the night puking through my nose. That was a new experience for me.

"... puking through my nose." Been there. Last time was, mercifully, about 25 years ago. Lost 20 pounds in ten days. One of those times where it's scary to live by yourself.

Hope to brew Monday. Been cutting the meadow, but now I have to sharpen the blades.

I brewed pumpkin ale last night. Didn't get started until around 7pm or so and drank a bunch of different types of beers and shot a lot of whiskey. Stayed up pretty late....2am'ish. Woke up this morning about 7:15 with a nasty hangover. Had to go back to bed for a couple of hours, then hit the gym...hangover gone. Now it's college football and bloody marys and more beers.

I used the Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale recipe i found on this board. I modified it a little.....It's looking a smelling reeeeeeeal niiiiiice.

Don't double post.

...puking through my nose...

That's a smell that lingers too.

I did up 10 gallons of Anchor Steam last night. Not sure what to do with mysoef today, cuz usually I brew on Saturdays.

Guess I'll...umm...drink something. Or something(s).

 

[Professor Frink]

Today was College Football day. I was at the PSU - Buffalo game. Tomorrow is NFL football/Fantasy Football and Brewing day. I'm doing an IIPA and a Red Ale. And I finally get to sleep it, if the the little daughter allows.

Cheers,

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Yup, I'm brewing up a wheat right now, and enjoying a Two Heatred IPA from Bell's. Next up is some DFH 120 min IPA. :rockin:

I made an APA today. It was my first PM and went fairly well. I think I screwed up the sparge and had a crappy efficiency, but I fixed it up with what I thought was enough extra DME. I only missed my OG by 2 points when it was all done.

 

[Brewsmith]

My friends kept complaining, "When are you going to make another hefeweizen???" so I decided today was a good time. Mash is about half done.

 

[webbie99]

I brewed my very first batch today, and extract pale ale kit. A few mistakes, but went well over all.

 

[Brewsmith]

Congrats on the first brew! My Weizen is now in the fermenter.

 

[webbie99]

Thanks Brewsmith, I hope it turns out well. Time and my ginuea pigs (SWMBO and brother/sister inlaw) will tell.

 

[BierMuncher]

...My friends kept complaining, "When are you going to make another hefeweizen???"...

Ironic, my friends keep asking, "why would you make another Hefeweizen?"

Aparantly, my hefe's taste like a bowl of clove....

 

[Brewsmith]

My friends seem to like lighter beers, at least on the hop side of things. Every hefe, amber, blonde or kolsch seems to go fast. Dark or hoppy and I get it all to myself.

 

[TheJadedDog]

Made my first cider this weekend. I did 2 1 gallon batches with different amounts of brown sugar and honey added. Now I just have to wait a month and a half to see how they turn out.

 

[Kevin Dean]

Yesterday was my target brew date, I missed it because of various things.

So TODAY is my Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale day. Grains steeping as I type.

 

[modobrew]

brewed a nut brown ale yesterday morning before the football game. Went out and bought myself an outdoor burner to speed up the boil. It seemed to take forever to get the boil going on my stove. It was time for me to splurge. Oh man, what a relief. Much quicker. The brew is now in my primary along with my irish red ale I brewed last wednesday. Can't wait to get them bottled and ready just in time for the second half of football season. happy brewing!
