Brewing a porter over the holiday weekend.  The recipe is a clone I found for Fuller's London Porter with a couple small adjustments to fit the ingredients I have.

Going to brew twice.  A blonde-ish with yeast I harvested from cherry blossoms.  Also brewing my watermelon wheat.

American Stout, my favorite summer beer.

Very interesting on harvesting yeast from cherry blossoms. Tell us how you accomplished this.

Full disclosure, I’m not going for funk.  Put some blossoms in 225 ml starter wort.  I add lactic acid, vodka and a couple of hops.  Put a pickle pipe lid on the jar and ferment for 4 weeks.  If it passes the smell and taste test, I do the same procedure with 550 ml starter wort.  If that passes, I do a 3 l starter with some hops for 3 weeks.  If that passes the smell and taste test, I pitch in a simple 5 gallon beer.

It’s rainy this weekend so I am going to try to fit in two batches, a light continental lager and a light ipa. I might even go for a third, a saison.

I’m finishing up a 10 gallon batch of Fourth of July Rye IPA.  20% Rye, Mt Hood and Mosaic.
I was thinking that I have a bunch of homebrews brewed during and named after hurricanes, so I could have called this Elsa Rye IPA, but it doesn’t sound as snappy.

Office is closed tomorrow so going to brew in the morning. Going to try an apricot wheat. I haven't had a good one in a really long time, the commercial ones all tend to be cloying and/or taste artificial flavored. We'll see how it goes, may age it with some brett if it doesn't turn out great

Since I wanted to batch sparge outside (my normal process although I now have an all-in-one as well), I started this morning at 4:20 am, to beat the heat.  After an 8-hour session brewing 10 gallons, the wort is fermenting and everything is cleaned and put away.  Thankfully it cooled off some last night -- when I got going it was a very pleasant early dawn 66F. 

I brewed a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone with a couple tweaks, my last beer needed for a large (+100 people) memorial gathering mid-August. 

I swapped 50/50 Weyermann floor malted Bohemian pilsner, and golden promise for the recipe's 2-row (90 minute boil); swapped Caramunich T3 for most of the recipe's C60; and after adding 4 oz. of flameout cascade hops did a 25 minute hopstand at 175F.  I targeted 1.054 OG and hit 1.053.  My best Chico available yeast option was very fresh US-05.  Pitched at, and am fermenting at 66F.  Otherwise a small charge of magnum (60 minutes), a little perle (30 minutes) and more cascades at 10 minutes.

A very good brew day, the wort hydro sample tastes spot on for IBUs and hop flavor, and I got inside at 11:30 am as it hit 85F.  It's currently 94F and rising.  Deo gratias.

Brewing a Blonde Ale with Chinook. 90/10 Two-row Pale and C20 with 29 IBUs of Chinook from 60, 15, and 5 minute additions. BRY-97 yeast.

I tend to brew what I want today. By the time this is ready to drink there will also be a Helles just coming on tap.  I may  regret having two light beers on tap at once.

My wife made a funny face this weekend when I told her I was thinking about brewing ("Haven't you brewed enough lately?") so.....I assembled a Winexpert Italian Brunello kit that i had bought in 2009 and forgotten about until I found it last year!

I bought it shortly before we moved and promptly forgot about it. When I found it in 2020, I thought to myself this can't be any good, and ignored. So today, I assembled it per the instructions, and I think it might turn out okay. This is a kit where 4.2 gallons of juice is provided to make 6 gallons of wine. I tasted the hydrometer sample, it did not taste oxidized or off in any way. Fortunately, it has been stored in my 55-65 degree basement, which probably prolonged its shelf life.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

With the cool basement temps and assuming a concentrated must (high sugar) I bet you have a good chance of success.  Good luck, and I'm glad you went through with it!
