What's everyone brewing?

I got a Father's Day Brewday in yesterday. Decided to try a rework on the recipe for my Stillwell Open beer, making it a red rye IPA instead of a double. Did a protein rest to account for the 20% rye and then had some issues with temperature on the second infusion: Thermapen said I was dead on (although obviously in the top 3-4 inches) while the thermometer on the tun said I was 10°C shy at first, rising to 2°C shy by the end. So I have no idea what my actual conversion temperature was. Gravity ended up pretty much dead-on though. Pitched a nice starter of American Ale II/California V on it at 10:30 last night and by this morning had a krausen almost formed. That yeast should be somewhat forgiving body-wise if my mash temp was in fact a little low.

Get ready to dance on the patio naked haha

Going to keg a kolsch very shortly, then I'll have a free ferm chamber staring at me until I decide what to make.

At this point my foot is healed enough that I will probably only need minimal assistance. I've also gotten pretty good at sliding chairs around to move heavy things.

Brewing up a table saison/grisette this evening. Looking for a 3.5 % ABV and ~20IBU summer beer. Pilsner malt, munich and torrified wheat. Perle and Saaz for the hops. Using the same yeast blend of French Saison 3711 and Farmhouse Ale 3726 with which I fermented my Stillwell Open brew.

The intergalactic APA is chilling. Single hop. Well blend. Using the new Zealand orbitz hops finally. 2 lbs hops in the last 10 min and will be dry hopping with 1 lb for 5 days.

Brewed a wit last weekend, took a crack at Keith's muddy river brown on Tuesday, and I did an APA today... I only have three kegs to put it in... So that should do me for awhile, there's a hint of sadness to that though haha.

[Keith]

Sounds like ya need more kegs haha. Hope you enjoy the brown.

[SFR709]

Haha I think you're right, I'll let you know how it turns out, should be ready to serve in around a week.

[John G]

Brewed a Helles on Friday and an APA today. It's been a while...

Transferring a cream ale onto 5 lbs of blueberries and brewing an ESB

[know1]

Mashed 32 lbs for a 1.070 10 gallon weizen on saturday. Split it three ways and diluted by 33% down to 1.050. One on dry S-06, other two on a split 3L 3068 starter. While boiling on saturday decided to do another sparge and gathered another light 20L. Decided to experiment and purged it with CO2 and dropped in a lb mesh bag of 2-row to sour. It was down to 3.6 PH by sunday afternoon. Boiled, hopped, added some extract, chilled and dumped in some krausen harvested 3068 yeast from the extremely active batches pitched on saturday. One mash, 4 batches vigorously fermenting away. I'm curious how the sour will be. It smelled awesome before boil, almost tropical fruit-like. Bring on summer!

Brewing up 10 gallons of a Bohemian Pilsner today.

My lease ended today. I didn't want to move a full carboy so I finished bottling my last batch (for a friend's wedding at the beginning of August) 3 hours before my final inspection with the superintendent.

I'm around Halifax until the middle of July and I'll be back for a week at the beginning of August - would love to meet up with folks for a beer or two before I leave. The first half of July is looking relatively free of obligations.
