just finished bottling/kegging a batch of my Shillelagh Irish Red Ale

Brewing Lucky Foot Pale Ale. My first attempt at a Pale Ale. It willl have a great aroma Hops are Centennial, Cascade/Centennial, Citra/Cascade with a dry hop of Citra and Cascade as well.

Heating the strike water for a batch of my APA, the Middletown Pale Ale.

Just bottled a mixed case of 6 different beers. My son had ask for them to give to the people retro fitting his Subaru.

6 - Gerst Amber Ale
6 - Bela IPA
4 - Colorful Dreams IIPA
4 - Rum Barrel Stout
2 - A Toast to Big Fuzzy RIS
2 - Saison Brett
and tossing in 1 Death Sour with Raspberries

Hope they like them.

Brewing a new recipe; "Witty Belgian". Due to a longer mash and boil, i used more thn normal strike volume. Had a messy overflow when adding the grains.

Kegged a batch of Trippel, transferred a batch of Equinox Double IPA to secondary & dry-hopped with a couple of ounces of Equinox hops. The Equinox hops are new to me, and I don't recall ever having a beer with that hop as an ingredient. I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!
Now I'm brewing a batch of Double Highway Ale, a Belgian style double ale.

Bottled my "Spring IPA" with Centennial, cascade, Columbus and dry hopped with Amarillo. Smells great!

I'm trying my hand at a wheat beer. But it's not going as planned (isn't that a surprise). I was thinking that I needed pale ale malt for the recipe. But now on brew day I find that I needed two row.

Oh well. I just went with what I had and we'll see what the results are.

Just finished bottling my Fruit Salad Session IPA. Tasted as good as the first time too.

My Lucky Foot pale ale has been fermenting all week. First time I've used the safale 04 in a long long time. Forgot how fast and compact it is. Should be ready to keg next weekend and than I get to harvest the yeast to keep it in stock. Plan on using it a bit more in my yeast arsenal

It's my turn to brew the RCE Three's A Charm Cream Ale that Jim and I came up with.

Bottled a 2.5 batch of White Panama this morning, and I'll be refilling that carboy with South Ferry Steam Beer tomorrow!

I don't know what to call it, but it's a hop bomb for sure!

Thought about doing it with Mosaic and Citra too.

Tuetonic Comet IPA
Looks pretty dang awesome to me! Never used nor tasted Comet but I really like your grain though looking at it I would have guessed it to have a higher OG but I see you're shooting for 6.25 gallons.
Gonna follow this one.

Tuetonic Comet IPA

Does it make your teeth turn green? Does it smell like kerosene? Hopefully it does not make you ....

(joke, it sounds awesome).
