Brewed up a batch of Brew Demon Dante's Delight Weizenbier.

Bottled 5 gallons of I Failed To Jump Over The White House Fence Honey Ale.

"Brewing" up some cold steeped grains. 1oz of British Dark Chocolate and 1oz of British Black malt. Going to pitch this into a 5 gallon batch of "dark kolsch" (somewhere between a Schwarzbier and a Kolsch) that I will be whipping up soon. Never tried the cold steep before but heard good things. I've got a little 2.5oz jar of some black dme (way darker then the darkest dark dme, it would be 3500L at 1.04) which I will be tossing into the batch as well.

Brewed 5 gallons of Oatmeal Stout, switching the recipe up as per my other thread on it.

I'm brewing a saison. "Saison Mure" got 40 min left in the boil. Hit my per boil volume and slightly higher than expected on the pre boil gravity(.003 higher). looks like I'm getting 70% efficiency instead of the expected 68%

Hello, new brewer here.
I've got some American Ale brewing, it's been in the LBK a week now @ 64*F. I'm occasionally checking it out and it's bubbling away inside with foam on top and trub in the bottom. So it sounds likes it's fermenting fine. Next weekend I'm going to start a batch of American Porter in the other LBK that I've got. I'm looking forward to bottling the Ale in a couple more weeks and then some tasting it 4 weeks after that.

Didn't figure I'd be able to brew for another couple of weeks. I thought I was going to be up at the HS finishing set builds and getting things ready for the play that my daughter is acting in next weekend, but the shows were delayed for a week and we're closed out of the buildings this weekend due to the weather, so I'm now wide open for this weekend. And... I have no brewing ingredients (except a single Mr. B HME... but that doesn't count). I knew I should have stopped by All Seasons on Friday, but I didn't know for certain that the weekend was going to be a washout, and didn't want to have the ingredients sitting. So, now I'm stuck. No brewday. And I'll likely be booked up next weekend on set builds, and then the following weekend for the shows. Guess I'm shut out for brewing until mid-March now, unless I run out to Whole Foods and pick up a BBS one-gallon batch to mini-mash with the Mr. B extract.

Bottled a Rye P A. Sample smelled and tasted great. Should be a very refreshing session beer.

I bottled a weizen yesterday. I wasn't all that impressed with the sample I tried, and I just may not be a weizen fan. Anyway, I've got 20 bottles of the stuff, and maybe it'll condition to where I like it, or maybe I'll decide it's not so bad.

Today, I'm making a Rye IPA. I had originally developed the recipe as a 2.5 gallon batch, but decided to make it 5. Scaled it up and then realized it's too much grain and water to fit in my 5-gallon mash tun. So I'm going to take 4 pounds of grain and BIAB while I do the mash, then combine everything afterwards.

I also forgot to scale up the hops, so I'm substituting some leftover hops for the aroma and dry hop additions. Fortunately, I had some IPA-appropriate hops in the fridge.

So this will be a fun experience.

We are on the same wavelength. Two Rye P As on the same day.

Just made a starter of Wyeast 1968 London Ale for the Yazoo Gerst clone I'm brewing next Saturday.
Going to brew it at my LHBS while kinda sorta teaching a BIAB class. Yeah, don't have a clue of what I'll be doing or how I'll go about it, but thats never stopped me before. I offered to help out in the store so his wife could help steward at a local competition on the 28th and learn more about that process. I mentioned about brewing a beer while we were manning the store (he has only brewed kits and whats to expand his AG knowledge). Last we talked, he had 5 people sighed up.

Now that's very cool. Best of luck with it. Let me know how things went both with the beer and the teaching.

Cool deal, Jeff! I'm sure you'll do ok, let us know on the Gerst, it is on my list of things to do.

Brewing "A Study in Scarlet" Scottish Ale. First time doing a 3 step mash. Smells great up in here!
