Yum. Just killed a keg of something in that zip code.

Bordertown Dark Lager this weekend with 940 and my newly-modified MT. Enjoy the brewday my friend.

I would like to but I am not sure it will happen.  If it does it will most likely be a spur of the moment decision on what gets brewed.

Bayern No. 2 Vienna Lager. Will mash in Friday morning before work and brew Friday night. Let's see if I can't keep this one in the keg to actually drink.

Also kegging an American Red Ale. Just can't "beet" it

Made a starter last night.  Probably a hoppy wheat with a big addition of Hallertau at 120.  I still haven't used any from the deal last year

I'm ready to go -just waiting for the rain to stop.Brown Ale on Friday and BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde on Sunday.

Whirlpool temp

yeah - I'm hoping it will reduce any grassy stuff

[neddles]

Lol. Damn I'm slow sometimes. Had my mind fixed on 2 hr. boil and was all WTF.

That could be an interesting wheat beer

Next week for me, a cream ale.

 

Need to decide b/w regular (~5%-ish) or extra-strength (~7.5%-ish).

[Poptop]

120?

For the red ale I make a couple weeks ago, I added both Cascade and Simcoe at 120'ish and the smell coming out of the fermenter was heavenly. The beer has a fantastic taste and aroma. Having listened to D&D's podcast on the topic I had to give the lower temp addition a try. Hoping for great flavor once this one is kegged.

[Big Nake]

I've done the 120° additions too and I agree that the aroma is great. Brewers are discovering all kinds of ways to use hops from FWH to dry hop and everything in between.

Planning a patersbier tomorrow, first one in four years..

2nd Gen of the Bayern's made another iteration of my Vienna on Saturday. Odd brew day. Mashed in at 8am and then ran off and boiled around 3pm. Pitched a big slurry!!

Between the mash and the boil my Wife, Son and I biked to the March for our Lives at Stoneman Douglas High School. Thousands of people and much to my appreciation there was a lot of respect and peace and zero idiots. There wasn't any Dem vs Rep and there wasn't any "we're gonna take all your guns away." Lots of "go away NRA" but to each their own... It was pretty intelligent for the most part....

Oh... back to the beer. It's humming away at 55

[Big Nake]

Nice. Bayern will be my next lager yeast to start up. I have 940 running in a Mexican Dark Lager that I made on Saturday. I made the Victoria clone, a pale lager and then the dark. When this beer is done I'm going to shut it down for a bit because I will have TEN kegs of beer at that point! When activity picks back up I'm going to make at least another ONE batch with the 940 if not two and then I'll retire it and start up the Bayern.

thinking of brewing a beer that I've been tweaking for the past year- Marris Otter, Mosaic and American Yeast. I might add a touch of wheat, and go for a ABV of 5.5-6%.

Just mosaic? Not a bad thing but also works great with the Simcoe or more danky ones like the Columbus or Chinook.

Almost ready to mash another IPA. Warrior hops, two row,light munich,german wheat..
