Bottled my Wee Heavy on Saturday.
FG sample tasted awesome so should be a good one.

So, when you brew a RIS with a OG of 1.105, ferment for 3 weeks at 66* to a FG of 1.028. This is your loss to trub, but a full+ 5 very tasty gallons went in the keg for bulk aging.

Just about finished with my summer blonde session ale. Will add the yeast shortly and wait for 3 weeks.

Tried my hand at a Northern German Altbier today...

I think it came out too dark for style as I grabbed some Chocolate Malt (450L) vs. Pale Chocolate Malt (200L) by mistake.

Oh well, it should still be a nice beer!

I'm hoping my schedule on Saturday is light enough for me to bottle the Bit O' Bitter and make a run to the LHBS for ingredients. Well, I intend to bottle and shop anyway, but the earlier I can get to it, the better.

Gonna brew a fiver of Crown Top Pale Ale on Sunday. Not sure what next week's small batch will be, but I've got time to plan.

Two weeks ago I brewed another batch of Screwer In The Rye using a modified water profile and a big fat two liter starter of East Coast Yeast ECY-10 I had washed from a prior batch of 420 Special Wheat beer. I liked the color a lot, this time I left the Carafa III out of the recipe and only added four ounces of Chocolate malt for color mostly. I hit my gravity as qBrew calculated it would be and gave the cooled wort some oxygen before pitching the yeast.

I'm pretty sure this was the last batch of beer I'll be brewing using my mash tun, kettle and long time all grain brewing process so I'm happy I was able to put all the components of that process together for one last brew. My plan is to bottle the entire batch and bring it to our four day annual family reunion, there'll be quite a few beer lovers there and I expect the batch to go quickly, probably by the end of the first day.

Just picked up my supplies at the Simple Brewer in my town Somers NY. We'll be doing "Big Brew 2" there tomorrow all day. So far, 6 guys are brewing. We'll grill some dogs & brats & taste some fine homebrew. I'll be making "Apocalypto 7" - Cheers Beer Brothers & Sisters. :flag:

I was hoping to brew up my brown ale this week but with everything going on with the renovation I don't know anymore when I'll get a chance to brew anything.
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.

Blue Ring Nong... the blue ring from the water bottles kept falling into the boil pot. It's a mild Nong IPA

Bottled up the Mr. Beer Howling Red Ale and the sample from the fermenter was actually quite good.
Good judgment comes from experience, which comes from poor judgment.
