Mind sharing your recipe? I had a fresh sample on tap recently and had completely forgotten just how damn good it is.

Whipping up a SMaSH golden promise and Idaho 7 IPA this weekend

Was inspired by the Founders smash golden promise and mosaic IPA that I had the other day

I'm finally brewing this year's wit. I usually brew it earlier so it's ready when the humidity hits, but things got busy this spring.

Thanks for sharing. Keep us posted how it turns out. If I brewed it, I might be tempted to give the Notty/Windsor combo a try. I'm not a huge fan of Nottingham solo, and I don't get much "British" character from it either.

Summer Tex-Kolsch time for me:

90% Pils
5% white wheat
2.5% Vienna
2.5% Munich (10 lov)

Mash 149 for 90 (while I put kids to bed)

22 IBU German Tradition at 60m

Wy2656 @ 60

Not a bad idea.  I have some Windsor on hand so I may give that a go today.  Also, after review of the original recipe and re-converting from kg to lbs, I decided to add another lb of base malt.

I am brewing up 5 gallons of a Black IPA this weekend!  I can't wait to get started.

[beersk]

Sounds like some good beers being brewed. 

I just finished up brewing a German Pilsner with 95% Best Heidelberg, 5% Carahell, Magnum FWH at 70, Mittelfruh at 55, 25, and 5 to about 38 IBU. Wy2352, fermenting at 50F.

Prost!

I brewed a CAP yesterday with 80% Rahr 6-row and 20% Quaker Grits.  I did a cereal mash and used Clusters for bittering, Sterling for first wort hops and German Hallertauer at knock out.  It seems to be fermenting nicely with half the batch on 2308 and half on 34/70.

My last CAP with 2308 came out great. A bit strong at 6.2%, but I'm not complaining.  I think the 3# of flaked maize provided me with better efficiency than expected.

My brew was also a bit more efficient than usual.  It measured 1.060, but was a half gallon short of 10 gallons.  I have been trying lately to actually measure the amount of water needed for the entire brew and I was short a little bit.
The run-off was really slow, almost stuck, but since I had the time I just waited patiently (for the most part).  At least there was very little cursing involved.

I brewed a pretty similar kolsch today:
83% pils
11% white wheat malt
6% vienna

"Yellow Full" profile in Bru'n Water (50% RO water / 50% tap water)

Mash 150F for 90 min (I mowed the lawn during the mash)

25 IBU Hallertau Mittelfruh @ 60 min

K-97 re-hydrated and pitched at 60 and will let rise to 63F

1.048 anticipated OG, 1.046 actual OG (80% brewhouse efficiency)

My first kolsch.

Last weekend I brewed a Mandarina Pale Ale

Been working obscene hours lately (72 hours a week on night shift) but on my night off I decided to do a gallon of German Blonde, and a gallon of strawberry lemon Mead.  The Mead recipe was one of those from a blog, where the author said they did not do the things you are supposed to do and it turned out just fine. It is one gallon and my first Mead. I probably would have questioned the recipe more if I hadn't had everything I needed already at home.  If it sucks I will try again with better technique.  I also told my guy I would put a regular Mead together so that it might be drinkable when he comes home this fall. I am getting 3pounds of good local honey from my source tomorrow and need to make it to the LHBS for yeast and nutrient.
