I just mashed in on a bitter that’s using Wyeast 1968, in honor of me being on the Fullers brewery tour in 13 days. I am stoked!
Getting ready to rack off the 4lbs of raspberries that this porter has been working on for 10 days. Then a couple of weeks to clear nicely and bottle it up. Tastes great now and I can’t wait to get it bottled and matured. Since the wife has a cold, I might have to get ingredients for a brown ale that is getting hopped with wild hops from near the Air Force Academy. This will be a true experiment as I have never used them but other homebrewers and micros have in various styles. No idea on the actual variety but they smelled good!
Double batching it today. SS Minnow Mild clone and Ken Lenard’s Memory Lapse (tweaked ever so slightly). Expecting great things
My bitter went smoothly, so I’m brewing my tweaked Ranger IPA clonish recipe this morning. I can’t quite get the hop profile.
Today’s schedule
Simcoe FWH
Chinook @ 60
Simcoe @20
Cascade @ 5
I’ll dry hop with a load of Cascade
My previous attempts have been tasty, but Ranger is one of my wife’s favorites so I’d like to be able to get close to it.
Brewing a IPA today… and Denny’s VBIP on Wednesday before I am off to San Diego for my birthday 
I just finished my first no-sparge, no-chill double batch of “Thomas Jefferson” Ale (Mosher) and “Ben Franklin’s Poor Richard’s” Ale for a friend who’s into the founding fathers. Suffice to say he did NOT want to brew the Obama beers ;D
I need something quick. I’m winging an English pale with Tettnanger hops.

I kegged and carved my haus IPA today, Sunday. Brewing a nut brown tomorrow.
Took me a moment to realize that was a single letter transition from a b to the v. Otherwise I was sitting here thinking two things:
Damn that’s a thick beer
Carve? As in a tap handle or is this some old technique I’ve never heard of?
actually changed up and did 10gal of Mako for the party and 10gal of imperial red - one of the most ‘red’ red beers I’ve ever made - it was pretty cool;
12gal recipe
14lbs MO
14lbs 2-row
6lbs Weyermann Munich II
1.25 lbs C- 120
1.75 lbs English med Crystal
Chico Yeast
I’ll have to look back at the hop schedule if anyone is interested, but a lot of Chinook, Cascade and Simcoe - thinking of dryhopping with either Cascade, Columbus or Amarillo - undecided at this point.
Let us know how it turns out Paul. I’m always looking for another good red beer. ;D
Yesterday I brewed 11 gallons of an all-grain version of the BYO clone of Midas Touch, well not exactly all-grain since it included a good amount of honey and muscat grape concentrate.
Thursday- Pale Ale
Friday- Raspberry Cider
Sunday- Saison
Sunday afternoon an American Wheat with the new Belma hops.
APA
robust porter on monday!!!
I brewed a milk stout Thursday.
I did a double IPA with English hops yesterday. It was like hop soup!
on Sunday am brewing an all FWH and whirlpool hopped IPA - standard Blatz Mako IPA recipe, but moving the 60 min hops to FWH and all the late hops to whirlpool.
that is, unless I get my electric system finished, in which case I’ll do either a simple munich dunkel or APA - that way if my efficiency is much greater (as I expect) I can just switch to a bock or IPA on the fly.
