My folks are coming to visit for the weekend, and my dad wants to see how brewing works. Lucky for me, I need to get my honey-basil double pale brewed for my buddy's wedding in June.

I've never done a partial mash recipe before, so this ought to be interesting. Actually pretty glad I'll have him around for an extra hand, haha.

Off to the store to get an industrial strainer!
 
Doing my first brew this sunday! Jumping straight into AG. My first brew will be a clone of Stone Levitation. Super excited about it!

Apparently not. I was going through my equipment and my nylon grain bag has some burn holes in it from my last brew! Guess I'll have to order a new one online and post-pone until next weekend.
 
Brewing day today has been cancelled due to tap water being incredibly chlorinated. Once the chlorine levels drop again I will make up for it
 
Brewing my Lemon weiss/hef (still havnt figured out exactly what catagory it falls into, all I know is when you put blueberries into the beer and take a sip and bite down on the blueberry the flavor turns from a nice lemony flavor to almost a pilsner/IPA flavor, everyone thats tried it is shocked at the flavor change.
 
Hope to brew the following Blonde Honey

------------
6 lbs Pale Malt (6 Row) US (2.0 SRM)
1 lbs Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM)
2 lbs Extra Light Dry Extract (3.0 SRM)

1.00 oz Northern Brewer [8.50 %] - Boil 40.0 min
1.00 oz Saaz [4.00 %] - Boil 5.0 min

LHBS called -- the dry extract is not on the truck...looks like i gotta go to the NSNHBS (not so near) for a 90-minute round trip...
 
Did an AHS Broadway Amber earlier today. Finished up around noon. Added an extra 1/2 oz. of Kent Goldings I had laying around from another recipe, at the flavor addition (15 min). Had started to ferment about 15 minutes ago when I took a peek.
 
There's a brand new homebrew shop opening up for the first time tomorrow morning. I plan on being there when the doors open at 9AM. I talked to the owner the other day and took a look around and have dibs on 10lbs of Maris Otter and some Cascade to brew a SMaSH. Here's hoping they have their crusher ready to go!

I just drank the last of my Irish Draft I kegged Brandon O's Graf yesterday and have one more fermenting. I also made a batch of NB Belgium pale, and making the Limited NB Modelo DeMayo today. I have a Cream Ale on tap. I will make an Irish Red Ale Sunday. Keeping busy.. trying to build my supply chain.

My first post! Was planning to rack a West Coast Pale Ale form secondary to the corny today but have been reading posts on geletin and cold crashing so I may try that first as the recipe didn't call for any moss to clarify. Either way I'm starting a Pliny the Elder today. Looking forward to this one... 3 different hops and 11 hops adds throughout the recipe. Mmmm.
 
Currently in the process of making a Russian Imperial Stout. After the primary going to bulk condition in a secondary for a few months then throw some oak chips on it for about a week or so.

Happy 50th bday GrogNerd!

I also am brewing a Maris Otter SMaSH, but with Cascade. 10lbs MO, 1 ounce Cascade each at 60,30,5. 20 minutes into the mash at 153*. Smells great! :rockin:

thanks!

I originally was going to do a MO/Cascade, unrelated to my birthday, but then it all just clicked; adding MO to the recipe and it hit 1.050 with 5.0 SRM & 5.0 ABV, so I thought, THIS is my birthday brew!

adding the Cascade, I was approaching 50 IBU when it occurred to me, Centennial would fit the 50th better.

I thought 1/2 Centennial (!) but then it wouldn't be a SMaSH

color is a little light for a ESB, I'm hoping no one notifies the BJCP

Your secret is safe with us, Happy 50th!
 
I'm working on a brown ale recipe called DB Cooper's Brown. This weekend is my second attempt at it. I'm excited about changing one thing and tasting the results. I wish I would have saved a few bottles from the first batch to compare. Lesson learned.
