Brewed a 11 gallon batch of Drop Kick Nate but it ended up being 11.75 gallons. I beat my OG by 11 points and can't figure out why since I overshot my volume. I did add 1/2 lb more malt but come on, that doesn't make 11 points.
I did use RO water for the first time so can that make a difference? I shot for 5.4 ph and got 5.5 so I left it alone. It's a 'smelly' pale ale so I think 5.5 should be more than fine. Don't want this too bitter.
We won't have too many more weekends like this one weather wises but I'll be brewing more in the coming weeks. El Nino has been very good to us.

Kegged 5 gallons plus of Beyond The Dark Extra and 5 gallons Beyond the Dark BB dry Irish Stout. Extra is w/Organic Chocolate liquid extract 2 oz and the BB is aging in a recently emptied whiskey barrel, which had a bottle of bourbon dumped in and rotated til I filled it today.

My Shelleigh Irish Red Ale. finished way lower than expected, I got a 6.5% brew out of it.

I recently bought some Mr. Beer 1 Liter bottles off of Craigslist. I had asked my daughter to pick them up for me as they were several hours from me but close to her. The guy said he'd throw some other stuff in with the bottles. She came home last night and brought me several boxes of bottles, couple packages of pop-off bottle caps, an older LBK, and two old Mr. Beer refills-a Vienna Lager and a Canadian Draft along with 2 packages of rock hard sugar booster. The cans looked nice, so I thought what the heck, I brewed them up along with the booster today. In case the yeast was too old, I split a package of Safale S-04 between them.

We're bottling 6 gal of a Blueberry Wine today, and another 6 gal of an American Wheat tomorrow

Brewing up a Kentucky Common today. Debated on the yeast a bit, but decided S-04 would work to keep it easy.

5.5 G The Mather Steamship Cali-Common today, beautiful cloudless sky in the 70's finally!

Not a darn thang. Got me grains all ground up, hops measured out, stuck head in fridge and poooooop, I'm outa yeast. LHBS won't be open til wens..... great planing on my part.

I hope you got your yeast FiT.
I'm making another Busted Wing Pale. Both of last year's one hand brews failed, hoping for better this time.

Got 'er done, one 5 gallon bubbling away, Summer Blonde. I need to do some/alot of drinking and get some kegs empty. WAY too many cobwebs on my equipment.

Saturday I plan on brewing BlackDuck's Four Point Pale Ale. I had to make a few minor tweaks to account for what my Organic LHBS had in stock but it's essentially the same beer.

Oooooh, that's a good one.

I'm sure it will come out fine with your changes! Can't wait to hear how it come out.

Yeah, well I just noticed that they gave me C-60 instead of C-80 too so make that 3 changes. Arrgh, tree-hugging hippies. That's what I get for going to my local shop in Santa Cruz, that's all organic on 4/20 to pick something up that needs to be specific!
