Thanks guys. I've been just doing the brews in the evening down in my basement on the electric system. No worries.

[GAM]

Fuck off than! I am jealous if you cant tell.

Do you have charcoal for Chal's BBQ?

Brewing up 10 gallons of india session ale

[BrooklandBrewer]

I've been off the radar for awhile due to a new addition to the family but still managed to brew up a Belgian Witbier and today brewing an ordinary bitter.

[LiverDance]

Just mashed in on the Irish Red

Decided to pitch american farmhouse into one of the india session ale carboys, might call it Funk Light. The other one got my favoured english ale yeast, Whitbread Ale II.

[jacinthebox]

brewed up a 5gal batch of irish red and a 10gal batch of Zythos pale ale

Brewing a Maris Otter EKG SMaSH, 5 gal batch with 10.25 lb MO and 5oz of EKG at 60, 10 and 5. Using US-04, should be a nice little beer for those who don't like the bigger beers normally on tap.

Bluenose and I brewed an IPA today. Did a 10oz.whirlpool hop with Falconers Flight, Columbus, Centennial, and Citra.

[RubberToe]

All ready to brew 88 litres first thing tomorrow. 44 litres of IPA split between S-04 and S-33, and 44 litres of APA with US-05. Both with similar malt and hops, the APA a bit lighter and way less hops. Both are using a 50/50 split of Falconer's Flight and Citra. Grains crushed and pre heated water in the kettles. It's been months since I've brewed and I had a lot of cleaning to do downstairs and other stuff to get ready.

This afternoon I am making a Rye Honey IPA with 9lb 2-row, 2.25lb Honey Malt, 1.25lb Rye Malt with a hop schedule of 60 mins of Chinook/Columbus (1oz each), 1.25oz Cascade at 10mins and 1.25oz Cascade at 0mins, using US-05 for yeast. From Beersmith:

IBU: 91.5
ABV: 6.8%
SRM: 9.1

I have not brewed much with Rye or Honey malts, let's see what happens.

Ripping off Jeff's Strongbad along with a little addition of brown malt. This is 3.5gal batch is larger than normal batch for me so I can test out my shiny new 2.5gal keg. Wish me luck.

Been designing a new Blonde Ale this evening and got it all ready to brew tomorrow afternoon. Tangerine flavours from a huge late Amarillo addition. Trying out the heritage thing on the label to see what kind of response it gets

how huge?

[Keith]

Label to bright, make it gray scale and put these dudes on the label.

[GuingesRock]

Thanks Keith. I might use that idea for my Irish stout.

1lb for double batch. All late (very late) IBUs 23.

[amartin]

Is it really still a blonde ale at this point? It sounds like a pale ale to me.

Yes I think so. The BJCP style guide says you are allowed "low to medium hop aroma" in a blonde "which can reflect almost any hop variety". But like you say, this might be regarded as high hop aroma. The other parameters fit. I got away with it with the poolside blonde, but I don't have the score sheets back. This will have double the aroma hops (but same IBUs) of the poolside. I've had the dreaded words, "too hoppy for this style" too many times.

[jeffsmith]

Brewing 10 gallons of my standard IPA tomorrow with a new hop schedule. First time brewing since April. Will also be the maiden voyage of my new 25 gallon mash tun.

[amartin]

I'm brewing a Belgian dark strong ale this weekend. At target ABV of 9.5%, it'll be my strongest beer since 2006.

[jeffsmith]

Brewing 10 gallons of smoked porter now. Figured since I had the gear setup I might as well brew two batches.
