And today's brew is the "Storm the Bastille" kit from Northern Brewer on to the trub from the black saison. It's a production line now.....

I finally got around to kegging the two beers I had fermenting today. The Mammoth lager was a pain since it was fermented under pressure. It took about a half hour (maybe longer) to fill the keg. But I am drinking a glass already, so there is an upside.

Ooh, A big beer! Right up my alley. The Mammoth lager I just kegged is 10% abv.

So I had kind of forgotten all the mess and hassle of a really big beer - the cleanup was special - but it's in the fermenter, the black saison is actually pretty nice given it was 7 days old and I'm expecting a volcano of yeast tomorrow morning......best case scenario is a slower startup but there was at least a pound of yeast slurry in there when I dropped it in....

I no longer have to deal with volcanic yeast eruptions since my fermenters (2 Speidels, All-rounder, and 10 gallon torpedo) have ample head space. It's never an issue anymore.

Looking to make an IPA this weekend. I killed a keg last week.

Just kegged an IPA and a rye doppelbock. German pils up next.

Mashed in on a maibock this morning. Going to get a pale ale or IPA going next week. Haven’t brewed since last summer, sadly.

The Maibock sounds nice.  I brewed three batches with this Omega 113 so far and I have more planned.  Mexican lagers all summer.

Getting an IPA going this morning. One more batch in about a month and beer supply will be back on track.

Kegging a Rye Doppelbock today

First brewday in almost 3 months. IPA with lotus, rakua, and citrus hops. Going to ferment in the upper 90's with kveik.

Crazy. Fermentation is underway already. But I did something today I've never done before. I was busy, a bit tired from a bike ride during the mash, and I did a gummy. I meant to add a pound of sugar but I forgot! I added it after it was in the fermenter. I boiled it in a small amount of water and let it cool. Forgot to say, I got up this morning at 2:45 for work (just a 4 hour shift).

Wow. The kveik yeast was a little out of date (10/22). I wasn't overly concerned though because I know how aggressive it can be. I pitched the yeast roughly 22 hours ago and fermentation started within 2 hours. OG was 1.075. Crazy how fast this is going.

[Gusso]

Looks to be finished fermenting - been holding steady at 1.010. I'm going to chill it down then dry hop.

I'm running Omega 113 Mexican Lager right now.  I have made five batches with this yeast and last night I ran a Mexican Dark Lager into the keg and harvested the yeast.  Today I'm making a Munich Helles with it .. which I know sounds weird but that's the plan.  80% Avangard Pils, 20% Swaen Munich 2, About 21 IBUs of Perle from the start of the boil and Omega 113.  Cheers Beerheads.  

[Gusso]

Picked up 14 gallons of water today. I plan to brew at least one batch this week, hopefully two.

[bierboy]

Brewed an IPA today.

[Big Nake]

Making a Mexican Amber Lager on Sunday 7/14 with Omega 113. 

[Gusso]

I'm brewing sometime this week. I have a pack of Vosso Nova (high thiol Kveik) to try out.
