Funny you post that Ron, I was thinking to myself yesterday that it's time to brew it again.

Hoping today to keg a cider that I made back in September. OG was 1.067? or a little higher (hydrometer bottomed out in the tube, got lazy and didn't get the other one), FG is at 0.996. So it's north of 9% is scary smooth and drinks like slight apple flavored water.

Also checked the FG on my RIS I brewed two weeks ago. OG of 1.105 and it's at 1.028 as of yesterday, so about 10%. I'll check it next week and if it's still there I'll rack it to a keg for extensive secondary conditioning until December or later. If the sample I tasted is an indication of the finished product, it's gonna be pretty darn good.

Bottled the Lime Cerveza this morning, and I'm looking forward to pairing it with some good grilling and BBQ this summer!

Currently brewing, even as I type this, the Rushin' Pale Ale. First hop addition in, and chillin' while I wait for the flavor addition.

Just finished brewing up a batch of Saison with ginger. Kinda different, 3 step mash (109 F, 143 F, then 153 F), and many additions late in the boil of freshly grated ginger. Once it's cooled down a bit more, gonna pitch my last pack of Danstar Belle Saison yeast in the fermenter.

Well I brought my second Berliner to a boil Friday evening, it's fermenting away. I'm so stupid though, forgot to take an OG lol, that's what I get for inviting my buddy over to help brew and having a couple of beers during the process.

2nd generation batch of MB Quiet Kreek Kolsch...1.0482 OG @ 2.5 gallons. I enjoyed the first batch & so did SWMBO, so this one is for her. Should be a nice 4.8% lawnmower beer come July or August.

Bottling up the summer seasonal (yes, from 2013). Then, while the wife is on vacation, will be brewing up an all grain version of my Clutter Buster all nugget brew to use up some hops poundage I've acquired. Reason I have waited this long to try it as an all grain is it is one of SWMBOs favorites, so if I mess it up I can just call it something different and replace it with a quickie extract batch. Shhhhhhhh....

This weekend I'm planning on brewing a Gumbalhead clone recipe that I got from somebody on here (sorry I can't remember who it was!).

Bottled my Grodziskie today... Finally...

Since I have some Wyeast 1007, Pilsener, 6-row, Munich and Chocolate malts, I think I might put together a Northern German Altbier... Probably have some Horizon I could use for bittering... Might lay a touch of Saaz or Tettenager in near the end just to give it a bit more character...

:cool:
