After a couple equipment disasters my kettle and hlt are rewired. It was time for maintenance anyway....... Been a few weeks again.Am Rye, not a RyePA - probably on Sat. 2.5L starter is crashing now.Don't have the final recipe yet but this one's been brewed here a lot. Need to tweak it for hops on hand.

Yep, starting the lager arc with a German pilsner. The Augustiner has been on a stir plate for a couple of days.

No time for brewing this weekend, but shall make a store run.Running to the LHBS is easy, deciding what im making next is difficult. I have Red ale,an IPA,a Dubbel ,Stout, and patersbier in the fermentor. Something with Rye does sound good dj.

Brewing the first beer in 6 months! All of my gear is back in Alabama, but I have some borrowed stuff from my new brew club, and I'm splitting a 10 gal batch with a buddy on Sat. Our brew club has a Pale Ale comp coming up, so we're going to do that. I'm trying the San Diego Super yeast, he's going with dry 05. My recipe. Magnum, Perle, Chinook, and EKG. 6% 45-50 IBU's.

Brewing at the moment...strike water is heating up now...This is only the second brew I have done for this year..yikes...starting a brewing series with the Wyeast 1007 yeast. Today is going to be an American Pale ale with Warrior to bitter and a couple flavor/aroma additions of Citra to follow. After today I am planning a Rye Kolsch followed by a Dusseldorf ALT. I might finish the series with a Sticke ALT with the yeast. Excited to be brewing again.Cheers guys!Mike

Last - or close to last - of a series of Biere de Gardes this weekend, then on to a couple of trippels before moving to saisons. Do have a sour I need to get started.

Gonna blow the dust off my rig and throw down two 1/2 bll batches. West Yorkshire is on the plate. Have some Brown malt and figured this would be a good beer for my son's wedding. Followed by an ApA for the wedding. Then its me time. 10g of my Berliner Weise project and a big ass IpA.

You and I are on parallel paths. I'm just starting my BdG series and I'm trying to work in a Flanders Red at some point as well.

I'm not brewing this weekend, but I'm doing some cellaring work. Need to put a lambic on 20 pounds of Balaton tart cherries and transfer a few other things around. I need to toss some oak chips in some projects too.

Source?

You have uncommonly good taste. I am thinking about caramelized dried cherries in this next iteration. Have five pounds.

No brewing here, but pulling a RIIPA out of a bourbon barrel tomorrow. A club project that has been sitting for about 11 months. I hear that it has a lot of bourbon character.Beach

Wow that is one heck of a timeframe. I brewed 60 gallons with 6 other guys during the last week of December and we added that to a Jack Daniels barrel. It sat for 3 weeks till you got a nice subtle character from the barrel. It is really good still drinking it now. I can only imagine what a timeframe like that would instill on the beer character.

Also putting a Kate the Great clone in a fresh George Scagg barrel tomorrow. My batch isn't going in yet though. I have a stuck ferment right now and I need to get it to attenuate more before I can put mine in. OG=1.124 stuck at 1.043 Beach

Our Impy Stouts usually stay in fresh dumped barrels for 9 mths. We try and shoot for the vanilla/coconut layer from the wood along with the bourbon and malt layers.
