1.5 years. Man. I have a hard time waiting for Chrstmas to come so I can get into my Imperial Stout. I want to make one though. A nice long term sour. And then more every year to 6 months so I can blend... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Haven't brewed in forever, but a group of us just pulled our cherry turbid mash lambic (kriek) out of a wine barrel after aging since Dec 2012. 100% sour ferment. It was absolutely delicious, like a cherry Warhead candy. Can't wait for it to carbonate. Hops are on their second year and the cascade looks like it's going to produce big time. Sterling is also doing well and Centennial fairly well. Northern Brewer are on their first year so not much expected there. I was planning on vacuum bagging and freezing as they're ready and then making an IPA at the end. 1.5 years. Man. I have a hard time waiting for Chrstmas to come so I can get into my Imperial Stout. I want to make one though. A nice long term sour. And then more every year to 6 months so I can blend... If you have friends who homebrew or you're in a homebrew club, barrel aging is interesting and a lot of fun. We've done a couple sours, imperial stouts, a barleywine, a quad, and some other beers I wasn't involved with. If you can each brew 10 gal, you only need a half dozen people. |

Sadly not in a club. None near me that I can find. I only know one other person that brews, and hes 5 gallons. Not that it matters, I can do 5 gallons too.
Might have to talk him into a collaborative barrel aging thing though. That could be fun. |
|
bottled the Porter....tasted great...can't wait for it to carbonate. Next up is an Irish Stout.

Got the Apricot Ale moved to secondary and brewed up a all grain Pale Mild
First time doing all grain and it went pretty damn good. |
|
Moved the Sour Cherry Wheat over to secondary, and added 5 more pounds of cherries. Yum!
Brewed another batch of Saison using yeast I harvested from the prior batch. First time doing that, and all went well, fermentation took off within the hour. |
|
I have 2.5 gallons of peach wine that is aging in the carboy. I have been debating on doing another batch of chocolate mead when I get some free time.
|
|
Dunkelwiezen that I messed up the water volume on so it's gonna be a bit weak and thin tasting
|
|
An IPA with almost all Galaxy hops following the Pliny hop schedule, and a porter. Both with Brett B. Trois for the yeast.
|
|
5 gallons of Brandon O's Graff.
Cant wait to try this. Smells so good! |
|
Irish Red in the fermenter, Caribou Slobber getting brewed tomorrow. My fist time with the Caribou. Making it cause a friend likes it and bought the ingredients. Wish me luck!

Brown pumpkin ale.
I like brown ales. I like pumpkin ales. It only made sense to make a brown pumpkin ale. |

10 Gallons of Peep Show Stout (Caramel Coffee stout)
5 gallons of Left over Brown (what I parti gyled from the stout ^) 5 gallons of Saison 5 gallons of Strawberry/Rhubarb All within the matter of 3 weeks. Been a busy boy. |

My first actual beer with real equipment (Aka, not Mr. Beer kit).
Imperial Red Ale. Just put it in there yesterday. Finger's crossed! |
|
Just bottle 5 gallons red ale. Will be starting an amber Ale next week or so.
Wine I got about 6 gallons Black Spanish grapes in secondary, about 6 gallons muscadines in secondary waiting to get into an used 5 gallon whiskey barrel. Should do this week. Then I will start about a 4 gallon Black Spanish in the primary and by then my pears should be getting ripe so then I hope to make 5 gallons of that. Need more carboys.. |

What flavors are you going for in a Belgian stout? I've had several different ones since I love stouts and Belgians. I can't seem to get a pin on what it's supposed to be, they seem all over the map. (Love Belgian IPAs though!)

Yep, supplying 20 gallons of beer for the Cola Warrior East. 10 of the stout and then 10 of my Heady topper clone. |

Just brewed the Pliny the elder kit yesterday. Bubbling away nicely, I hope it turns out.
I am going to attempt my first BIAB in a couple of days |
|
I started a "Vino Italiano 4 Week Wine Kit, Gewurztraminer" kit from Amazon this morning. I've done a few of their cabernets and liked them.
I have an old IPA kit that I need to brew. Oddly, going to India for 8 wks after I bought it kinda killed the desire to do that one for about 2 years. It's been kept at room temp, except for the yeast which was in the freezer. |
|
Dead Ringer from northern brewer and a stout of my own design called Mothers Little Helper
both all grain, brewed last saturday |
|
|
|
Finally back to brewing after an 18 month hiatus... Brewed Kama Citra from Northwest Brewing today.
|
|
Just dry hopped my Torpedo clone last night, will be kegging it next Wednesday. The Imperial Stout I brewed on Saturday should be a real winner.
|
|
Milk stout just finished fermenting. Another 3 weeks until bottling.
|
|
Just started 5 gal of hard cider. New to brewing, this is my first! Wish me luck!
|
|

Got an IPA in bottles right now, going to start an imperial IPA (Southern Tier 2XIPA clone) next week. |
|
Dark belgium from LHBS. Drankall the caribou slobber. Damn fine brew.
|
|
I have an Imperial Chocolate Milk Stout in the secondary with another month to go. I also have an Imperial IPA that is currently dry hopping, 1 more week to go on that one before I can keg it.
Looking into figuring out a way to do a lager now, I want to try something different. |
|
5 gal. of Bayou Johnny"s Light American Lager going through the diacetyl rest as we speak.
|
|
My friend's stout recipe.
He claims its good, we'll see how it turns out. |
