What's everyone brewing?

[Jimmy]

Might do an imperial American brown soon so will be much more. Can report back soon.

Did you ever brew using the hop bag again? I'm curious how it's holding up, and how it worked with a higher hopped beer.

I am going to brew that recipe that is in BYO magazine, New Albion Ale. I am using Amarillo and Centennial.

How did this one work out for you?

Brewing up a Bohemian Pilsner tomorrow to get a summer beer in the pipeline. I plan on lagering this for a few months so it will be ready in time for summer. Next brew after that will be Bell's Hopslam clone.

Made a Kölsch from Brewing Classic Styles, but added a little bit of carafoam and substituted Hersbrucker with Tettang for 60 mins and added some more Tettang at flameout for aroma.
Few pictures:
The ingredients for the day, german pilsner malt, vienna and carafoam

First runnings

The boil

Gravity sample, nice and light colour, should be around 5% when the WLP 0029 German ale/Kölsch yeast does its magic

nice

Grain mill running at this hour, sparge water heating up...love it.

[LeafMan66_67]

Had a grain incident while milling Saturday afternoon - must have been something a bit hard in the grain - caught in the rollers and the same moment I was taking a sip of coffee. Flipped my Barley Crusher, sending around 6 pounds of mixed grain across the floor, in the dehumdifer, under the washer, dryer ... pretty much everywhere. Hard to believe how far and wide garin will spread across a concrete floor!

[backbacon]

That would have ruined my morning! Bolt that sucker down

Had a minor electrical issue with mine this morning, but all is good(really need to fix up some of them bare wires).

[LeafMan66_67]

Its going to be one of those days. Burner is acting up - can't get the yellow adjusted out of the flame. Funny how just last night the wife told me to go out and get whatever burner I needed!

Anyway, I'm getting ready to mash in with the trial BIAB bag from Jimmy, making another attempt at Propeller ESB. Going to call this one "Dust Bunny Bitter. http://www.brewnosers.org/forums/viewto ... f=4&t=4053

[backbacon]

Ah.....left my valve open on my keggle while sparging, lost about 5 liters on my floor. I could cry... at least my sixth sense told me to go have a look.

[amartin]

I was going to make a dubbel today, but I ended up burning my sugar a little, so I'm leaving it out and making a Belgian pale ale instead. I'll put the slightly burnt syrup in a stout or something.

[GAM]

Brown ale.

[BBrianBoogie]

"Niet om Stijl" Belgian brown ale today for me

[Jimmy]

Once again I was lazy and should have been brewing today..but I didn't. Perfect day for it.

[Dirt Chicken]

Yes it is a lovely day in fact I'm stepping up to boil with a nice and fine IPA!!

The only saving grace of today porter was the weather. Otherwise it was a disaster, one small issue after another and ended up taking 7 hours.

[sleepyjamie]

I spent the day painting and renovating a room in my house. Fml

[CorneliusAlphonse]

Got a couple batches of grain ground,* going to brew a special bitter and an American wheat sometime this week, both from BCS. Thinking of putting the wheat On some fruit in secondary, maybe blood orange since I saw them at Costco and they might give it a nice colour.

[GAM]

Nailed the # for the brown.

The AK47 (keith's ) and mild are clearing.
