It only seemed appropriate to brew an American Pale Ale… Fermented with the Liberty strain, of course. 8)

WY 1776?  Just kidding.  I just had a Liberty Ale on Thursday.  It's hard to beat a quality-crafted Cascade fresh hop ale! 

No brewing for me.  I did bottle the last of a keg of cider, and am dissembling / cleaning 7 kegs today.

Happy 4th!

My weekend starts Tuesday, but I did get my lacto starters going. It looks like I'm spending the next few months brewing my way through the new American Wild category. Bottling bret saisons tuesday, brewing mixed fermentations Wednesday. The fruits will be brewed mid august. Woo hoo

NB British bitter extract kit. I've been enjoying the time savings of extract brewing lately, lets me brew more often.

I'll be kegging a batch of the Dawson's multigrain red extract kit tomorrow. It's my third try at the recipe, the other two tries were all grain kits that failed miserably. (nasty apple/acetaldehyde first batch, second batch scorched badly in my electric brew kettle.)
Corn is a fine adjunct in beer.

And don't buy stale beer.

Brewed an all grain Irish Red Ale this past Friday. So far I am hitting all my numbers.
It's going to be good...
I would rather be judge by 12 than carried by 6.

I brewed a fairly pale IPA with Lemon Drop and Eldorado hops yesterday.  I hope it's delicious.

Simple summer saison recipe.  Almost done with mashing.  Still having a bit of trouble hitting the "exact" mash pH I am looking for.  Always in the ball park (which I am sure is good enough), but I want to be more precise.  Had to add an extra 1.1 mL of 88% lactic acid to bring the mash down to a 5.2 pH.

I just finished brewing my summer saison......

25th wedding anniversary saison

10 gallons, OG 1.052, unknown IBUs (guessing around 30)

18 lbs. Avangard pilsner malt
2.5 lbs. flaked spelt

Mash-in at 135°F for 30 min, add boiling water to raise to 158°F for 60 min. Batch sparge.

Boil for 120 min

2 oz. Styrian Goldings 60 min
1 oz. EKGs 30 min
2 oz. Saaz 15 min
0.25 oz. Coriander 10 min.
1 lb. Simplicity Belgian Candi Syrup 10 min.

Split between WY3724 Belgian Saison (chilled to 80°F) and WY3711 French Saison (chilled to 65°F). 1.5 L yeast starters for both.  The 3724 is upstairs where it is in the mid 70s, the 3711 is in the basement where it is in the mid 60s.

That sounds really tasty, Chumley. I'm interested in hearing your opinion on the simplicity syrup.  Also, Congratulations on 25 years of marriage!

Hoping to sneak in a brew day on Sunday: Saison inspired by HoosierBrew:

75% Avangard Pilsner
20% Munich II
5% Wheat

1.050, Bittered with Magnum, late Nelson for 35.2IBUs, 5.2SRM, mash for 90 @148, 90 min boil, 3711
Will be my second Saison, first with 3711. I liked last year's with 3724, but the missus did not and the Saison is really for her, so trying a new strain for me.

Have a great weekend all!

Got grain crushed for a rye pils.  Hopefully I'll have time to brew it this weekend.  Next up after that is a bock in the Zymatic.

Getting started on Fireball Cider and Hard lemonade for a homebrew event in NH coming in September. 

Have a Helles going right now, going to reuse that yeast in an Octoberfest, then again in a Doppelbock.
