I haven't been around much because of life in general.
But for those that care, I'm still kickin' and I've got a Fresh Squeezed clone
cooling right now as I have an Amarillo/Citra starting to mash!
Both are 5 gal AG batches and they are in preparation for my daughters wedding next month and
if anyone is interested, I'll post the recipes!
Thanks to FedoraDave, I used his idea to give the groomsmen and the bridesmaids beer as a gift!
My daughter insisted I include the bridesmaids!
Have a fantastic Easter BORG and thanks for letting me hang out when I can!

Busy and exciting brew day.

And your daughter's idea that bridesmaids get beer too- well please tell her I said...

Brewing 2 5gal batches in one day, you have my respect. Yah man!
Congrats on the daughter's wedding!

Good to see you TT. Congratulations on your daughters wedding.
We are always interested in recipes. If you can find the time to post them.

Kudos to you TT. I've thought of brewing two at once, but they'd both be 2.5g extract batches.

Thanks BORG! ! It was a very long day, and I made the mistake of partaking a little too enthusiastically.

The whole day took about 10 hrs start to finish. I could have cut a little time on the mashes,
but I like to mash for 75 mins no matter what I'm brewing! Makes me feel like I'm getting all I
can outta my grain!
I did get one in the bucket using no chill, and the other goes in the bucket in just a few minutes!

Here are the recipes I did. The AmaCit is probably one of my best recipes yet, to me anyway!
Hope to spend a little more time here again!
