Dortmunder is boiling as I type.  The garage smells nice.

I already have a festbier/marzen in a keg but I think I'm going to do my 60/40 pils/Munich 2 festbier on Friday.  I have successfully brewed my ass off to fill all 10 of my kegs with this next batch.  Hooray!  

[Big Nake]

No brewing this weekend.  It's the first weekend in about 2 months that I have not brewed.  I have a beer in primary that will be kegged sometime next week and I'll probably brew next weekend.  I have some 2278 that is 4 batches in so it's got enough left for another one or two.

No brewing here for the next 2 weeks; next brewday is on 9/16. 

 

Planning out a strong-ish porter, ~8%.  Need something strong and roasty for fall and this should fit the bill.

I've got a German Hefe to keg tomorrow, and picked up supplies for a Rye Porter and a Black IPA from the store today.

Rye Porter? I have to say, that scratches me where I itch. I think it sounds like my next beer. Staying away from C-hop centric pale ale. Do you have s proven tested and brewed recipe?

got my ingredients yesterday from the semi-LHBS.  called ahead and everything was bagged up and waiting for me.  good stuff!

Did an APA and a weissbier this morning.   Dortmunder on deck for tomorrow.   Daisy-chained a couple of  sanitized kegs to a blow-off tube on the APA.  Gonna use all that free, pure CO2 to purge them.

Fingers crossed to get my extract NEIPA going tomorrow and a lager of some kind early next week. I am working on building up a starter of Wlp835X right now.

Of course the starter boiled over writing this post!

I did a Stick in your Eye Rye Porter quite a while back.  I'll see if I can find my notes.  Was good as I recall

Found my notes.  Apparently I was quite impressed by my brewing in 2005 according to my comments.     The recipe isn't worth posting. 

 

This one was about 2011 or so and I called it a rye stout.  I remember liking it and trust my tasting notes on it quite a bit more.  Must have had bad efficiency though.........

about to check gravity on drez smokey brown ale.  hopefully making what I'm calling "pliny the similiar" on thursday once I get the brown ale out of my fermentor.

Got a German style pils in the fermenter with GW Idapils malt, Yakima Chief American nobles, and Lallemand Diamond Lager yeast.  In the next few days, a pretty straightforward APA to test the new GW Brumalt.  I'll use Lalemand BRY-97 for that one.

I used BRY-97 once.  The beer was fine but man was that a sloooow starting yeast.

Made a 60/40 Pils/Munich 2 Festbier with 2278 last Sunday.  When that beer goes to its keg, all of my 10 kegs will have beer in them.  When the next keg kicks I will make one more beer with this 2278 (a Czech Pils) and then I'll retire it.  I have an pale ale, ESB, MLPA and some other stuff on the schedule to brew with 1099 as the fall begins.
