bottle a Scottish Light 60/- (a starter)
brewing a Strong Scotch Ale on the yeast cake.

Well I had planned to brew during the 2009 Nov 11-17 thread! Looks like I will miss this one as well…
I have a doppel using a nice starter of WLP820. Man, I underestimated how slow this stuff is. Going on 4 weeks, still chugging along. Started at .072 and only down to .030 now. It has not stopped fermenting, Still a nice head, but it is just a PAINFULLY slow chug. It is tying up my main fermenter pot and my fridge!
Pubcrawl with the brew club
Yes, we have a bus!!!
Ooh, looks nice Matt.
I’ve got a Racer 5 clone to bottle, if I get around to it this week.
Thanks! I’ve always wanted to try Racer 5. We don’t get Bear Republic in the Twin Cities (as far as I know).
I had it before I saw all the hype and loved it. It may not live up to everything you see written about it but it’s one of my favorite IPAs. Hmm, maybe it’s time to take a sample.
Looks like they’ve made it to Wisconsin. That’s only four hours or so, right

It’s actually only about 30 minutes away from me. Next time I’m in WI (which is pretty rare), I’ll try to remember to look for it.
Schlafly APA Clone
Le diable rouge - Belgian Pale ale
Finally cold enough to brew lagers here, so on Sun. I’m doing a German pils with WY2247.
So your ferment lagers outside of a controlled fridge then?
Planning on brewing a spiced Christmas Ale.
Caramel 120, Briess Extra Special Roast, Chocolate Malt, Briess Gold LME, Fuggles and EKG, Vanilla, Cinnamon sticks, Sweet Orange peel, Nutmeg, S-04.
Yep. I only brew lagers when the weather is cold enough to ferment them in my garage. I put the fermenter in a tub of water. The extra mass of the water buffers temp changes. I put an aquarium heater in the water, and put that on a timer. I set it to come on a couple times a day at the coldest parts of the day. With a bit of messing around, I can maintain a steady lager fermentation temp.
You will really like that yeast, Denny…
Even though I’m a big fan of the WLP830.
This yeast may very well have beaten it. 
A porter this past Sunday… was suppose to be a stout, ran out of roasted barley… I relaxed, had a homebrew, and then looked to see what was in the ol’grain box to see what I had lying around. Fermenting away now!
