I made an imperial stout on thursday,airlock activity is constant.Missed my OG by a couple of points,but 1.076 is ok with me.I want to oak this one when fermentation is done.

If i get ambitious tomorrow I might make a mead with some honey I picked up today (wrong forum?) But I do have some liquid stupid to keg, too...

We got the Am. Wheat brewed last night. Did a FWH with half an ounce of cascade. In the chamber at 68. Nothing yet... but then we pitched at 10:30 last night.

Brewbuddy and I are getting together with two of his friends, they just built keggles so we are going to double our usual and do a QUAD 10G brew. 20G of Jamil's American amber and 20G of his rasberry stout.This will be interesting, I hope our electric HLT's can keep up.

Whew, all done. insane.... The Electric HLT's did just fine, provided we remembered to keep refilling them. got phenomenal mash efficiencies. The recipes were formulated for 80%, we got OG's indicating 89% and 92%.it was Jamils Black forest stout (with cocoa and cherries), not rasberry.

racked my Torpedo clonish IPA to secondary, Keged my Porter, and brewed the British Wit, a good productive brewday.

I just now mashed in on an IPA, and I need to keg an IIPA and rack an American Brown to secondary today. It's already crazy hot and humid,and rapidly worsening. With my sweat-drenched clothes, you would think I was playing a pick-up game of basketball, not brewing beer.

I just caramelized the cherries for the dark saison. House smells fantastic! I'm going to mash in right after lunch.

Going to brew a HefeRyeizen on Monday.

Wouldn't that be a roggenbier?

Man, I gotta tell y'all. I had a great brew day. I'm generally not one to come in here and brag about my brewing but I think I hit one out of the park today. Got 85% efficiency on a batch sparge, my OG is 1.087, wort tastes great, fermentation is already going, my back doesn't hurt (for the moment). Aaaaannnd...I remembered the whirlfloc! How could a brew day be any better?

Sounds great mtnbrewer,My Impy stout is slowing down fermentation.I checked it and it's at 1.020 down from 1.076.Tasted great,and it's only three days old.The rough alcohol i tasted should clear up with more time.

According to BJCP guidelines, a true Roggenbier must have rye constituting at minimum, at least 50% of the grist with the rest of the malt bill sharing more in common with with a Dunkel than a Hefe. The beer I'm brewing today is 50% pils, 30% rye, 20% wheat. Pretty light all around. Got a starter of WY1007 going. I'm still debating if I want to do a single bittering addition of something traditional, or hop the hell out of it with citra (I'm on a citra kick, great summer hop).

Cool! Definitely not a roggenbier then. Not really my style at all but sounds interesting.I bought a few ounces of Citra the other day. Usually not a big fan of the citrusy hops but everybody's been raving about this stuff so I thought I'd see what the fuss is about.
