Oooh. Bet that'll be good!

Me, I bottled 52 bottles of FedoraDave's American Ale this morning. Looking forward to drinking that when the snow finally melts!

I am brewing my first attempt at an AG stout. And I think it's one of those "big brews" that you hear talked about.

I got the recipe, again, out of the Sept./Oct 2013 edition of Zymurgy. The issue with the winners of the National Homebrew Contest. It's an Imperial Stout and even converted down to a three gallon batch it still called for 13.2lb of grain. I have only a six gallon brew-pot and I do full volume BIAB brews so by the time I put my three gallons into the pot, added the gallon that I'll lose in the boil plus another gallon to make up for the grain absorption I barely had enough room in the pot for the grain.

Here's the recipe as I have it converted down to a three gallon brew:

10.8lb 2 row malt
1.2lb chocolate malt
.6lb 120° L crystal malt
.6lb CaraMunich® malt
1.2oz Chinook hops (60 min.)
.9oz Chinook hops (30 min.)
.3oz Chinook hops (15 min.)
.6oz East Kent Goldings hops (15 min.)
.6oz East Kent Goldings hops (0 min.)
.6oz East Kent Goldings hops (dry hopped)

Mash at 152° for 60 min.
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.

My wife. I just LOVE her! I just finished up with the mash on my stout and was holding the bag over the pot getting as much of the malty goodness out of it as I can and she comes into the kitchen, wrinkles up her cute little nose and says, "Oh my GOD! That stuff smells simply AWESOME!

At least, that's what it sounded to me like she said.

:p

brewed up a batch of my Middletown Pale Ale
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

Brewed a fiver of Kingpin IPA this morning. Continuous hopping is a rough schedule (an addition every 5 minutes for the first 30 minutes!). But it'll be worth it.

I brewed a spiced dubbel like beer with special B, 1/2 a chopped up licorice stick (the real natural black stuff, not swizzlers), sweet orange peel, and 1/4oz of Juniper berries.

Yeah weird I know LOL. It just seemed right at the time.

Bottled my BrewDemon Oatmeal Stout and the sample was great. Now just the waiting game for carb/conditioning.

Don't really have a name for it, but I used my "base" grains, and as far as the hops go, I tried again with the sapphire Hops. (along with citra and cascade). As it stands, this is batch 022514.
OG 1:060, I also wrote down the lot number for the yeast. Like I said in another posting, I will add the yeast batch number to my notes.
And, as I was writing down my notes, I noticed this was the first batch of the year. :blink:
