That's a nice picture of your beer recipe via a recipe app. Interesting. Which app is it and how well do you like it?

I Brewed another Irish Red Ale this morning. It's a 5G Extract w/steeping grains recipe from Midwest Supplies. The house sure smells good. My wife even made a comment about it, after I posted it on Instagram, saying how much she likes the way the house smells after I brew some beer. It was part of a "deal" awhile back, you buy a Irish Dry Stout and get a Irish Red Ale recipe for $5, so I couldn't pass that up.

Although I'm not Berryman, I can attest that that is the Brewers Friend app, and it works pretty well. I normally use Beersmith on my PC for recipe building, but I use that one for quick messing around, and I use the Brewers Friend yeast pitch calculator all the time.

@MadBrewer I’m a fan! I’ve done one batch, a few years back. I really should brew it up again. Enjoy!

Tony, it works good and is easy and free. It also works on extract brewing, I used it before going AG.

This morning I brewed a Root Beer Stout. It's a 5G Extract w/steeping grains recipe from Hop Hero. Due to the lack of a non-fermentable sweetener that the other Root Beer Stout recipes that i've made have included, I don't think this one will be as sweet but I'm sure it'll taste good.
Especially over ice cream.

I bottled that "Dark Wheat IPA" a few days ago.

I brewed a 3 gallon batch of straight up Belgian Dubbel.

Mashani, thanks for the Grodziskie/Gratzer recipe/advice. I think I may head that way on the next brew day. I somehow missed that post this time around, and also decided to brew something with ingredients on hand this time... Brewday was Sunday. Pretty much finished fermentation in two days at 80 degrees. I may keg this weekend.

FYI, I've been using German Ale / Kolsch yeasts for the Grodziskie but I would think that it would turn out well with a Kviek yeast if you want to get it fermented fast. But I'm not sure how the smoked malt vibe would turn out if you started to drink it as fast as you could turn it around that way. I never touch stuff for at least 3 weeks in the bottle, and it does mellow over time to a point, IE between 3 - 4 weeks in the bottle the rougher edges of the smoked malt tone down and the hops start to stand out more. I don't think I've noticed any differences once I got much beyond 5 weeks though. Not that it lasts very long beyond that. All that said, I still like drinking it at 3 weeks in the bottle, I just like it more with a little bit more age.

Anyways, if you make it I hope you like it as much as I do. I don't understand how this stuff fell out of popularity, it is delicious IMHO.

I kegged a Kolsch this afternoon. That recipe is now in my yearly spring/summer rotation.

I brewed what amounts to a Samuel Smiths India Ale like clone, but with a mix of the "ClusterFuggle" hop blend that I got in the hop variety pack and UK Archer as the hops instead of the normal mix. I figure whatever the fuggele the ClusterFuggle is, it will work in this kind of thing.

Latest batch of redneck blush wine working hard. So simple and fairly cheep to make but tastes good. I generally let it go longer then brewnewb posted on the original, and I add some yeast nutrient along the way.

Clusterfugget is a mix of Fuggles, Cluster, and Nugget. Makes sense. It tasted good in the sample of this beer when I bottled it a few days ago.

Since I had another ounce of the stuff, I used that to make a Brown Malt and Roasted Rye porter.

Been a year since I've rebrewed Simply Simarello but as the twin and I have been too busy to brew, we decided to do an 11 gallon batch and split it with him using a blend of Imperial A07 and Dry Hop yeast and I using a year old Hornindal yeast. Can't BIAB 11 gallons in a 15 gallon kettle normally so I started with 11.5 gallons in the kettle and pulled some of the grains after the mash was done and dip sparged them in another post at 167. Numbers were dead on.
3.5 hours later, the one with Hornindal dropped 10 points. Guess the yeast weren't too dead!

Anyone else brewing over the long weekend?

Bottled this. Tasted great. I love brown malt, nothing else tastes like it. The roasted rye is awesome with it.
