My wife brought home a sixer of Green Flash's Sea to Sea lager.    It's good.    A little light on the malt for my taste but very nice.

Kegging a G. pils this morning, harvesting the yeast (34/70), and some of said 34/70 will go right back to active duty for tomorrow's brewday.

 

Still debating between another pils, a Dort, or a doppelbock.

 

If the stars align, a 2nd brewday may happen on Wednesday, but i'm not holding my breath.

I have a similar situation... I need to keg a batch of MLPA and save the West Coast yeast for an upcoming batch which will either be a pale ale with El Dorado & Lemon Drop or a Blonde ale with Crystal. The holiday schedule is clouding up though... kids coming home, Christmas and then leaving on vacation on 12/29 so I must prioritize. :D

Brewery is shut down for a while as I insulate and sheath the ceiling in that section of my basement.  I am trying to make it so minimal noise is heard up in my sons room.  I also have to build a box and insulate to quite my exhaust fan.  Trying to get this done before the new year.

Grains are crushed, and water is measured/filtered/adjusted w/ lactic and salts, for a German-ish bockbier for tomorrow.

 

Using up odds and ends of some grains; no sense letting grain go bad.

 

Grist will be ~50% Pils, 40% Munich, some light crystal, a dash of wheat, and some Carafa-3 for color.

 

Herkules for bittering, and a light late (10-min) addition of Hallertau for flavor.

 

A fresh slurry of 34/70 will handle the heavy lifting in the primary, and Beersmith says this one should weigh in at ~1.072 and ~40 IBUs.

With the exception of the vinegar I could see something oh so subtle on this ;) Big hot pretzel and mustard on the side

People have been putting peppers into beer for awhile now so a little Pepperoncini juice into a blonde ale or something? Niiiiiice. :D

Using a shorter boil on today's batch (60 min) vs. my usual 90-min boil.
