Did up my rce with Photon Brewing

12 pounds Pale Ale Malt (Briess)
1 pound flaked oats
1 pound of flaked rye
1/2 pound of Carafa Special III (Weyermann)
1/2 pound Chocolate Malt (Thomas Fawcett)
1/2 pound of extra dark Crystal Malt (130L)
Mashed in with 1.3 qts of water per pound minutes. Second half of mash.

1 ounce of Warrior (16% AA) at 60 minutes
1 pound of unsweetened coconut shreds, toasted at 350F for 15 minutes. Add this at flameout.

og 1.082 this is the strongest brew I have done. First sample was like an almond joy..

Bottled some "Twisted Monk Witbier."

I bottled the spiced dubbel like beer that I used special B, 1/2 a chopped up licorice stick (the real natural black stuff, not swizzlers), sweet orange peel, and 1/4oz of Juniper berries in.

If you ever do this note that 1/2 chopped up licorice stick was plenty says my sample. Could have used more juniper though.

Brewed up 5 gallons of Adventures in Homebrewing's Irish Hills Red.Tasted and smelled good.

Brewing up One Evil Pilsner. With 10oz CaraPils steeped and .5 oz Sazz hops @10min.

finally brewing up Belma Pilsner. A good way to spend my last night of freedom. Yep, back to work tomorrow. Meetings all day what fun!!

That looks like it'll be pretty similar to my Summer Quencher- SMaSH of Belgian 2 row and Belma, with a FWH bittering addition and a very late aroma addition. Simple, clean tasting, and nice melon aroma from the hops. I bet you'll enjoy it!

I love the aroma of the hops already! I think this one is going to be a favorite.

Been way too long since I have added anythang to this thread. I brewed today, a summer pale ale. It's outside sitting in the snow-bank cooling down right now then into the LBC it goes.

I did the "Punked Patriot" again but with Simcoe instead of Citra.

Down to 2 cans of 2-1 Patriot now.

Just bottled a batch of my Middletown Pale Ale. Planning on brewing a honey brown ale this weekend

Breaking in new 20 qt aluminum pot tonight, tomorrow the plan is for
Citra Slapped Amber Ale
Brewer: MBNQ
4.25 gallon
1 MB Bewitched Amber Ale HME
2lbs Sparkling Amber DME
2lbs Crystal 40L Steeped
.5lb Honey Malt Steeped
1 oz MB Bewitched @ 5 min
.5 oz Citra @ 40 mins
.5 oz Citra @ 5 mins
1 sachets Safeale S-05 Yeast
1 sachets MB Dry Ale Yeast

Really liking the flavor from the Citra.

Good luck with the new pot. I just got a 20qt aluminum as well. What is the 1oz MB Bewitched @5?

The 1 oz @ 5 is how QBrew takes into account the IBU's for the hops in the MR Beer HME.
