Well?
Currently have about 30 Gal. of various meads, Just did a Cyser & a couple ciders. The wife is starting to get mad at me as I add yeast to everything before she & the boy can drink it |
|
Nothing right now. I'm kicking around the idea of a cascade pale ale.
6 lbs light DME 1 lb crystal 60 Then cascade hops in a schedule I have not come up with yet. Got this idea from another forum where basically this recipe only requires a 20 minute boil!!!!!! |
|
I've got a hard cider going, as well as a pilsner and an imperial stout.
Brewing up an Irish Red in a few weeks, I'm glad we have this forum now, it'll give me some place to post pictures. |

I'd like to do a hoppy red actually. I had forgotten I said I was going to do a red this fall. Dang it, this is gonna cost me. |

I have an Amber Ale that has been fermenting for 3 weeks. I need to get off my ass and bottle it!
I'm looking at a cream stout next. Any suggestions on a good extract kit? |
|
1) Bourbon Barrel-Less Stout –– Imperial Stout, gonna add a fifth or so of Jim Beam @ bottling....
2) Honey Orange Belgian Wheat –– crazy big beer the roommate and I dreamed up, should clock in around 9.5%, brewed with 2 lbs of honey, orange peel, and Belgian wit yeast 3) Belgian Strong Dark Ale –– should be about 10.5%, using WLP500 Edit to say: I don't normally make such 'big' beers but winter is coming up and it seems like the right time, as I've already got plenty of 5-6.5% ABV stuff stashed away. |

I have my very first brews fermenting right now.
2 gallons of Honey Orange Mead (Thanks EasTexan for making it look easy enough to get started) 1 gallon of apple hooch –– cheap juice, added sugar + yeast, just seeing what happens 1 gallon of what I hope will be a proper hard cider - Fresh cider, a little sugar, cinnamon sticks. I've only gotten to sample my mead as I transferred to a secondary, but I think I'm already hooked. I can't get wait to get home from work every day and watch a few bubbles burp through the airlocks. |

Extra pale ale AG, 2 weeks in the fermenter. Going to be a nice session beer.
Irish Blonde AG I did on the weekend. 11lb 2 row pale, 1lb flaked oats, 1lb flaked barley. 2 oz palisade hops. Should be good. Hopped up red rye is next. |
|
Just got my Autumn ale done on Saturday and brewed a cream ale today with hops from the farm.

I'm small time compared to you guys.
1 gal of JAOM First gallon of any brew for me, ever. |

Primary: empty

What exactly are you making? I bottled a cranberry apfelwein recently, and as much as I like it, I only get cranberry aroma and little to no cranberry taste. I took the normal recipe and added a couple of those juice concentrates to it. Oh, and fermented with Nottingham. |

I transferred 2 gallons of mead to secondary last night. Tasted good, needs some age.
I had some issues with my beer last night, though. I did my first AG last week and split the batch half and half. I was a bit low on my OG, but that was a sparging issue. Anyhow, the wort took 2 days to show any sign of fermentation. One batch fermented like crazy and blew through the blow off tube, the other had 2 inches of kreuzen and that's it. Fast forward to today, the one with active fermentation tasted very off. I did transfer it to secondary to see if another week would help anything but I don't expect it to. The other carboy tasted like I would expect it to. Here's the crazy thing; The first carboy dropped from 1.050 to 1.030. Only 20 points. The other dropped from 1.050 to 1.010. A full 40 points. Same yeast (no starter, 2 smack packs). Sanitized EVERYTHING with iodophore. Just one of those things I guess. I may repitch to see if I can get the alcohol content up, then have a friend of mine, who owns a winery/distillery, distill it into whiskey! I'll let y'all know if that works. |

Nothing.
But our local farmers market has some folks that sell fresh apple cider in nice glass 1/2 gallon glass jugs. They don't want them back, so I have to do something with them. I'm thinking mead. They also sell honey. |

A very basic mead. 2.5lbs of clover honey per gallon of water. A wedged orange, a few raisin. A bit of cinnamon.
It's my second batch ever and am impressed by the results of the first batch using simple cheap products. Next batch will be with higher quality ingredients now that I have an idea what I'm doing. |

I have air. I haven't recovered from my first batch that didn't come out as well as I had hope.
However, I'm still wanting to try a DFH 60 min clone. I have half the hops aready. |
|
Just finished up my first brew––and American Rye Ale. Pretty damn good.
Got an Irish Blonde Ale ready to go...just need to pull the trigger and do it already. |
|
Just got a 6gal Ale Pail. So I am going get it filled with fresh cider and primary in the pail with maybe a little honey and some S-04 for a few weeks. Then rack into a glass secondary and probably do a beer in the pail.
Have a cider and a cyser in 1 gal secondaries right now. Cider is 3 months old now so I might bottle carb this and see how it turns out. Cyser is only about a month old. |

Finally did my amarillo APA. I can't wait. Those hops are so citrusy and aromatic.
