Brewed up a 2-1/2 gallon batch of Rogue Brutal Bitter IPA with some Wyeast PacMan yeast and 4oz of Crystal whole leaf hops; similar to this recipe from Brew365.com (couldn't find Carawheat, so I just used wheat)...
Somehow I went way over on the OG at 1.072.

Just brewed up the BrewDemon Brown Ale basic recipe.

Brewed up two LBKs - new Oktoberfest with a pound of LME and some carafoam, and raspberries in a week (like the old Raspberry Lager) and old High Country Canadian Draft with a pound of LME and some carafoam, and raspberries in a week (to compare).

Cooling the wort for another batch of Murican Wheat ale, mashed in the cooler this time!

I bought almost everything I need to brew a nice red this weekend...untill I started talking to the sales clerk. He's Aussie. we started talking politics..almost as good as a bar, at least they had the fixings there. He couldn't understand how the Republicans could not do what the president told them to do. So we talked about it for a while, and I explained a wee bit more of how our Gov works.
He kept wondering how, as he was "Democratically Elected" that he could be ignored. Once again, I explained how the House is in charge of the Gov Purse.
Can't remember exactly ...wait, this should be posted in the no post post...
ok, I didn't get the hops...so now I have to go to a closer store to get them.

LMAO Yankee.
You think that's tough. Back in '79 I tried explaining to two Iranian students that they couldn't like our people but hate our government. Of course, the passage of thirty years has proven them right!
Anyway, on topic, I'm brewing a mostly mash Bee Cave Haus Pale Ale. (From HBT). I subbed hops, and Munich LME for Vienna. It's boiling.

I bottled the second half of my attempt at a Chimay Red like Patersbier. I bottled the first batch a week ago. They were brewed at the same time, a 1200ml WLP500 stir plate starter split between both. I pitched it off the stir plate directly, I alternated pours to measure out 600ml for each to keep the yeast in suspension distributed as equally as possible, which is what I always do and it's always been fine. But for some reason the first batch went nuts and fermented out quickly, and this one acted lame and just finished 3 days ago.

The first batch has more of the earthy/plum flavors with only slight banana, this one has a much stronger banana note. It doesn't taste bad, just very different in the character I got out of the yeast. They were both pitched and fermented at the same temps, but it seems that something somehow must have obliterated a good bit of my yeast in this batch and made it work harder.

All I can figure is that a little pool of the one-step was still at the bottom of this LBC, and it was enough to stunt the yeast a bit. I did notice that if I didn't wait long enough/used a bit too much sanitizer powder for the volume that that any undissolved sanitizer likes to get stuck down in the conical bottom. Might have happened and I didn't pay attention... Dunno.

I did my very first 5g batch tonight. I hope it turns out as good as it smelled. I am going to bottle my 2nd Imperial Stout tomorrow. It came out a 9.3% with a nice fruity chocolate coffee taste.

I love our people and hate our Government

Bull, congrats on the 5g. I've done a couple of fives and a four, the rest two.
DBrowning, yeah, at times. But I still remind myself that people in other countries suffer terrible oppression, and few have our rights, even fewer our wealth. So I'm not quite ready to move to Panama!

Just bottled a Maris Otter/Kent Goldings SMaSH. Only my 3rd BIAB attempt, but I'm hopeful of good results.
Guess I'll know in 4 weeks or so....
