What's everyone brewing?

[erslar00]

do tell.. what's the revision and were you happy with the final product after revision?

[Jimmy]

I just found the original recipe quite dark (it was a good beer though), so I decreased the chocolate malt and subbed it for brown and pale chocolate malt..both were good beers.

11 gallons of milk stout

Looking yummy, Jeff. And just enough room to account for krausen, or will you need a blowoff for it?

[jeffsmith]

I put a blowoff on both, better safe than sorry. I usually put a couple drops of fermcap in though so I don't end up with a huge mess.

[Tony L]

I find that with that much room in a carboy I don't need a blowoff if doing lagers, but never take a chance with ales and always use one.

[LeafMan66_67]

I've been finding that the only time I need a blowoff tube is when using Nottingham yeast.

I just made an oatmeal stout last night. First AG stout, and the conversion was way better than expected, I'm afraid it might be a bit strong on the abv.

Just finished off a Belgum Blond Ale, hit the marks now wait to see how she taste. Might have to enter it in the brew off!

Just brewed my second 2.5 gallon AG, an ale made with 3.5# Pils, 1.25 # 2 row and hopped with Perle and Tettanger. Pitched Notty @ 60*, trying to keep it in the mid-upper 50's.

Mashed in 10 gallons of bcs no short measure sob.

Hoping to get around to brewing my second California Common... first one was a few years ago and came out kind of crappy due to an overly-high FG.

Would have mashed in Nash's sob but don't got the recipe!

A is on the road so I took another pass at my Proportional Porter recipe:

5 Gal batch

12 lbs Canadian Two Row
1 lb CaraVienna (left overs)
1 lb Crystal 40
1 lb Chocolate
.5 lb Roasted Barley
3 oz East Kent Goldings, 60 min
1 oz Fuggles, 15 min

Coopers IPA Dry Ale yeast (another left over), stepped up to 700 ml

Hit my calculated OG, 1.76, right on the number and is bombing away like a bullet train.

Looking good! That is bombing away!

[Tim Gregory]

I'm debating between black IPA and RyePA. Any suggestions.

[GAM]

Rye.

My American brown that I really liked spewed gas today. Maybe I should make it again.

I really should be doing house stuff instead

Grains crushed for a dry stout from BCS. Moving brew day from Monday to today. Rather brew in cold but clear rather than possible snow and wind. And the wife said we have no plans today so I may as well brew!

[RubberToe]

About to mash in on a double batch of Irish Red Ale. Hanging out, drinking some beers, Andrew and Jamie might come over for some beers in a bit. If anyone else is around this neck of the woods you're welcome to join us. PM me if you don't know where I am (Woodlawn, Dartmouth).

How's the bcs no short measure? Brewed it up the other day.

Jamie - Just put the keg of "No Short Measure" in the fridge this afternoon. Will let you know tonight. The sample when kegging was great.

Have you tried the hop bag yet?

[chalmers]

Strike water heating for my first BIAB, Challenger Single Hop.
Thanks to Barr for opening my eyes to the Cajun Injector, Becky for the bag, and LD for the recipe conversion.
I've got my big boy pants on, first real solo brew!

It's so cute when they grow up!!
