Nosferatu is on day 3 of the primary.  As a riff, i used a fresh, (as in, 24-hr old) slurry of 34/70, at ~60°F wort temp.  An experiment, if you will.

 

Took off like a shot; yesterday the krausen was threatening to hit the airlock of the Ale Pail fermenter.  Krausen appears to be starting to fall as of this morning.

 

Got high hopes for this one.

My Tropical IpA turned out well so brewing it again to be served at a Brewfest end of Sept. 

[CarlosM]

got a version 2 Saison coming up  on sunday

 

 

Belgian Pilsner - 66%

German Wheat - 19%

Honey Malt - 2.5%

Victory Malt - 2.5% 

Dextrose at the end of the boil - 10%

EKG at 60

Styrian G. at 30

 

on a nice yeast cake of 3724

 

I nicknamed it FaceSmasher because its coming at you at around 7% of mega easy drinking.

Making an "Augustiner Dunkel" right now. 6 lbs of Avangard Munich 2, 3.5 lbs Swaen pils, 3 ounces of Carafa Special 3, Magnum to bitter, Hallertau Mittelfruh with 10 minutes left and the Bayern yeast. Cheers Beerheads.

beer related - not sure if you dig on Revolutions Oktoberfest but its out in stores in IL

I have brewed many, many weekends in a row. It appears that I will be using this Augustiner yeast ONE MORE TIME either Saturday or Sunday in another gold lager. Cheers.

Something, letting what's in the fermenter warm up a little to finish up.  Then harvest...........

This will probably happen this weekend and now I have this S-189 working in a beer and I'm envisioning a sort of Marzen as was discussed in Glacies' thread. No, it won't be Paulaner Oktoberfest Marzen but it will have pils, Munich 2, some CaraMunich, Magnum and Tettnanger hops and the S-189. It will be malty but balanced, have a bit of color to it, etc. The S-189 may not be authentic but it won't ruin it either. So that may be NEXT weekend. Cheers peeps.

The all-Sterling pils is now in the primary.

 

Had more hops on hand than I thought, so I weighed out what I need for bittering and a 15-min addition, then weighed out the rest: 5 oz! 

 

So, it went into a 15-min hopdump of a hopstand, and now my basement smells like Pilsner Urquell on steroids.

 

A fresh pitch of 34/70 will handle the heavy lifting in the primary.

[MyaCullen]

nice

 

Blktre would be proud

I'm brewing this beer tomorrow. It will be a dark gold lager that should have some good depth and character. Not sure how to classify it (I chose Northern German Pils as the style which I know is not right). The pilsner malt will be Swaen and then yeast will be S-189.

Since it's finally under 90 degrees around here,  I'm doing 10 gallons of helles today.   Did a mixture of pils/Golden promise for the hell ( ) of it w/ some carahell and sauer malt.      Tomorrow it's 5 gallons each of Irish stout and English pale ale.   Hooray for fall!

20 gallons in two days!? You da man!

My daughter is down there visiting my son at UT and going to ACL. I was texting with her yesterday and she said the car thermometer showed 94°. I don't mind it warm but sheesh.

[pkrone]

Yeah, it's kind of soul-crushing when it's October and still over 90...      Only upper 80's in the FW area today.  

[Bklmt2000]

Yesterday's Red Autumn IPA is rocking away in the primary.  Sweet.

10 gallons of RyePA - everything is prepped.  All Centennials and strike water is set to start heating at 5 AM if I decide to start early.
