Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
I'll be brewing my first attempt at a rye beer tomorrow morning. I call a Wrye American.

Version 10 of my Irish Red:
2 cans BRA (last of my old Mr Beer extracts)
1 lb light DME
.25 lb Carapils and .25 lb 20L steeped
1 cup dark brown sugar
.25 oz Amarillo 30 min
.25 oz Cascade 15 min
.25 East Kent Goldings 7 min
will dry hop with Armarillo
S-04 yeast
This is one of my favorites. Has Irish Red malt profile with a bit more hoppiness. Usually comes out to about 7.2% ABV.
Finishing hop boil as I type this.

Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
Nothing to bottle this weekend, but I'm racking the fiver of FedoraDave's American Ale to a secondary today, and brewing an extract/steeping grain recipe I came up with off the top of my head. It's a 2.5 gallon batch.
2.5 pounds Light DME
1 pound Amber DME
4 oz. Carapils
4 oz. flaked rye
1/4 oz. Warrior @60 minutes
1/4 oz. Centennial @60 minutes
1/4 oz. Centennial @ 20 minutes
1/4 oz. Warrior @7 minutes
1/4 oz. Centennial @ 7 minutes
Will dry hop 1/4 oz. each of Centennial and Warrior
Never used Warrior before, so I'm interested to see what I get. I sniffed it at the LHBS, though, and I think it'll work well with the Centennial.
Because of the hops strains I'm using, I call this beer "100 Years War IPA".

Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
Must obey the hat! Dave, I will definatly follow up. Overall I think I did okay, I missed the OG calculated on QBrew by .004. QBrew had it at 1.060, it went into the fermenter at 1.056.

Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
0.004 is nothing to worry about. That could be a result of the temperature of the wort when you took the sample. And it won't affect the taste or quality of the beer at all. Sounds like a winner!

Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
Bottled up my second batch of my "Heart Of The Country" English Brown Ale.
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
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?
Just finished up a 5'er of my Irish Red. Had 3 friends over to watch my AG process. One just started with a Brewers Best kit last week, one has been doing MB for a few years and just did a Brooklyn Brewing kit, and the other we are trying to get sucked into the obsession. Everything went great, and we may get a few more Borg assimilites out of the day...
Fermenting: Bucket 1 - Fresh Squeezed IPA; Bucket 2 - Empty
Kegged: Keg 1 - Irish Red; Keg 2 - Cream Ale; Keg 3 - Amber Ale; Keg 4 - APA; Keg 5 - Empty; Keg 6 - Empty; Keg 7 - Empty
The reason why the above list is so small Home Theater Build

Re: What are you brewing/bottling?
In the big mouth bubbler I have "Spawntanica IPA" based on a session IPA recipe called Nazz from Zymurgy Magazine. Label is in the art dept.
This recipe uses 2 Row, Marris Otter, Carapils, Dextrose malts, with Warrior, Falconer's Flight, FF 7 C's hops & WLP001 Yeast. It's going to be a killer!
