Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
The pipeline is getting pretty thin at the house. Kegged another batch of Smooth Rye'd IPA last night. The hydrometer sample was delicious... I transferred the beer into a secondary last week for a dry-hop with Amarilllo & Simcoe hops.

Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
That was going to be my previous project until I realized I just didnt have the time/ingredients so brewed my CHAOS IPA instead. Let me know how it turns out as I love that stuff (as does the oldest).joechianti wrote:I enjoyed the Founders Breakfast Stout I recently discovered so much, so I tried to recreate it from stuff I had on hand. Really looking forward to this one. Tomorrow, a gallon of wine will join it as cooler roommates.

Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
Made a batch of hard cider. Only my 2nd one but it's my first one in a long time. I read online about using Tettnanger hops in a cider and since I had only about a quarter ounce of some left, I figured I would use them up with this.
Good judgment comes from experience, which comes from poor judgment.

Mashed in on Saison d'Olivia! Zest of one blood orange went into the mash

Working on washing my saison yeast so I can run it up on the stir plate again. Hopefully I will have enough for a 5 gallon batch first of the week.

Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
I'm brewing up another 1.5 gallon batch of my "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" imperial stout. But I revisited the recipe that I stole mine from and am starting from scratch with the "tweaks" that I have made. And I am officially all done using spigots in my brew and bottling buckets. They're just too hard to get clean and I think that in the attempt to get them as clean as I feel they need to be I have put some scratches in them and they are causing my beers to become infected. So from now on I am using my auto siphon with a bottling wand at the end of it to bottle my beers. It might take a little getting use to but I'm sick and tired of dumping beers.

For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.

Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
I bottled the Tennessee Cream Ale this morning, then went to the LHBS to pick up the ingredients for tomorrow's batch of Bit O' Bitter. I decided to switch the amounts of Maris Otter and 2-Row, hoping to make the recipe a little different, and maybe more English, who knows? It's a good recipe, and I'll have a nice, light, flavorful session beer out of it. That much I know.

Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
Kegged 15 g batch of my NORTH PORT PILS. Used 1/2 barrel sanke, what a pain to fill, it's converted to ball locks, tried thru beer side and gas side w/o the check valve, finally gave up and pulled the spear and used racking cane.

Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
Just bottled 5 gallons of a Jalapeño Pale Ale. It was an attempt to clone a local brewery's magnificent version (Birdsong Brewing Jalapeno Pale Ale). The hydro sample was outstanding. Fingers crossed that it tastes just as good, or better, after a few weeks of conditioning...

Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
I bottled a batch of my Bengal in the Rye that I added half a lb. of light oak chips and left for 12 days. from the sample the CC is as I expected however not as oaky as I'd hoped. This was a 2.5 gal batch done in an LBK. I am hopeful that the oak flavor will come thru after conditioning a while. Is it a "forlorn hope"?
