Racked Ken's MLPA to secondary yesterday. Drinking lots of homebrew tonight with some people.

I did two batches today, and I am freakin exhausted.Started off at 7:30 with a Bohemian Pilsner. Dealing with a protein rest and raising the mash temp wasn't much fun before coffee. Think I nailed it though. Final mash temp was 148. Its a nice yellow color and it came out at 1.047. Lets see how that one goes. My previous attempt at doing a pilsner came out less than stellar. But this one went much more smoothly than the last time so I am confident I got this one :rolf:While doing a 90 minute boil on the pils I started a mash on a sortof ESB. I threw a lb of flaked oats into it...so I figured its a "Breakfast Bitter" Mashed around 154. I did 10lbs 2-row, 1/2 of Crystal 60, 1/2 of Torrified Wheat and the lb of oats... Bittered it with a couple oz of EKGs... Forgot the Irish Moss though. Might head to the LHBS and pick up some post-fermentation finings.Just finished that up a 1/2 hour ago. Looks like I hit 1.049. Dumped it on to a yeast cake of 1028 that was left from fermenting an IPA that went from 1.062 to 1.008 in only 4 days... Awesome...Pils is now in my lagering fridge waiting for the temp to drop as close to fermentation-temp as I can stomach leaving it without yeast before I pitch. Figure I will do that some time tonight...

Kegging an APA and going to brew a light pale ale for an upcoming unit picnic. Won the unit homebrew competion last year and am hoping to defend my title! They only gave us 5 weeks notice this time!

Will be kegging 10 gallons of tripel, and cleaning some stuff since I'm moving on monday. Hope to brew a bitter middle of next week.

[Yeasty Boy]

Just doing some transferring and kegging. I had planned a dubbel, but I went and moved a cherry tree into the yard today, we're coloring eggs, wife and I are celebrating our anniversary tonight, tomorrow, egghunt, dinner at a friend's.... I'll get to it early this next week. Finally playing with the Ingelmunster. I have had some excellent homebrews with this stuff.

This weekend nothing, I have 35G in fermenters and another 60 or so in kegs. Next weekend I'll either brew a red IPA or a grand cru.Mashman

wow, I've often wondered how the drinkability an unhopped brew would be. How's this kinda brew come out? and if I may ask, why make it without even a bittering addition?

I wanted to make two brews this day, i was only able to brew one. Pale ale, did manage to clean my hops garden out. They are off to the races , i am more optimistic this year about them. Year two for my hops.

This year they will be better. Next year and beyond they will be epic.Takes a few years for the hops to come into their own, but when they do.....BrewBasser

Didn't have a chance to do anything today. And tomorrow is shot thanks to Bunny Day.Fortunately, I took Monday off so I plan on kegging a strong stout and then brewing up a Rye pale ale.

This is the first weekend I haven't brewed in a few months I think... I did keg an APA yesterday and force carbed it. Good thing I did cause the keg I was drinking ran out late last night when I just wanted about 30 minutes worth....so I got to try the new keg---amarillo and centennial!

[jammer]

Well, i got the fat tire clone all done yesterday, and its bubbling away this morning. I was going to try to do a MLPA today, but i think ill wait til next weekend. Today the Easter Bunny and I are gonna do some drinkin'. LOL

[Stuster]

Brewed a bitter yesterday, all First Gold hops with Thomas Fawcett Maris Otter, a touch of crystal and pale chocolate. Tonight I should be able to get round to doing a pale ale with Amarillo and Centennial. Going to use 1026 on both of them. Really loved the summer ale I made with this yeast so looking forward to these two batches.

[CoastieSteve]

Man, I just love kegging a carboy of beer then immediately pouring the wort directly onto the yeast cake and stirring . Today's ale started heavy fermentation within an hour!

[Flashman]

I brewed my first 10 gallon batch yesterday...a Belgian Tripel...fermenting half with 3787 and the other half with 3864. I'm kicking myself for not doing 10 gallon batches sooner...only took a little longer for twice the beer

Tonight I should be able to get round to doing a pale ale with Amarillo and Centennial.

I've got a Centennial/Amarillo APA on tap right now and it's awesome.

Yep!The ESB I brewed yesterday went hog wild on its yeast cake within an hour. Its pretty much done fermenting... Bubbles only a few per min now in the airlock. Kreusen fell too...
