Finally Brewing Again.

So after a 9 month debacle of extra workload and getting through a relocation, I finally get a chance to brew again. I had to dust off the equipment and relearn some things! I have brewed a beer since January. I took some vacation time this week and have 3 five gal all grain batches set up. First on the docket is Screwer in the Rye which is one of my all time favorites based on a collaboration with Screwy Brewer. Props to Vince for such a tasty brew. I also be doing a wheat and a coconut Porter this week as well as as doing a collaboration sour later this week. Heck, I'm just glad to be brewing again! Lack of time to brew has sucked. Big time! Getting ready to toss a few oz of hops now.
Salute to the Borg once again.

Good Knight!
I'm only a couple (three?) months off, but I'm planning on a brew soon.

Screwer in the Rye is in the fermentation chamber. Mash and boil went perfect. Hoping to drink this one in 20 days. Brewing an American Wheat tomorrow. Time for some food and rest until then.

Good to have you back in the saddle.
I'll be brewing our RCE recipe, 2Daves Irish Red, in mid-February, so I can have it kegged and ready to tap on St. Patrick's Day. It's one of my favorite recipes.

I've been thinking of brewing that again as its been more than 18 months since my last one. It's either that or Denny's Wry Smile using 1450 yeast.
I really enjoyed your recipe Vince.

Feels good, doesn't it? I got back to brewing just recently myself after almost a full year away. Congrats and continue. I hope you nail all your numbers.

I love it over here! Traffic still sucks.
But I only have to commute 7 miles everyday. Of course there's always days that I have to travel south on I-75...
