I have a Dunkel planned for this weekend. I'm excited about this brew because it'll be my first true lager using the new fridge controller and lager yeast.

I have not brewed a batch since 9/29/15 as I had an overabundance of beer on hand. That will all change this weekend. I have my house IPA and my third attempt at a hazelnut double brown(similar to a Rogue's, but more closely related to a local brew here from Triple Digit Brewing Co) I cannot wait to get back out there. Good brewing to all, and have fun with it

I think I'm going to brew a classic American pilsner, or PPL I guess according to the 2015 guidelines. Going to see if I can't turn it around in 3 weeks grain to glass. Might also get to a farmhouse this week but I'm not holding my breath.

I'm thinking it's about time to give a Marzen a shot.

I hope to brew an altbier on Saturday--my first time with this style, though I've been thinking about it since the early fall when temperatures began to drop... before they rose in early winter and then fell again.

I seem to be juggling my brewing lately (work/family obligations), but I finally get to brew Sunday. Was gonna do a helles or Scottish 80, but yso191 (Steve) was nice enough to send me some Idaho 7 hops (called 007:Golden Hop now), the same ones Sierra used in one of their single hop IPAs last year. I loved the hop character in that beer, so gonna do a really pale IPA similar to that one. 1.062/70 IBU, ~ 6 SRM. Hopefully more brewing next weekend, but who knows.

I'll be brewing a grand daddy of a Russian imperial stout. I'll also be breaking in my new equipment. I've upgraded to a 20 gallon Megapot and a 100 qt mash tun. This 11 gallon batch of beer will have an OG of 1.105 and utilize 52 lbs of grain. I'llbe kegging a double batch of an American Porter and using its slurry of WLP 001 to ferment this beer. I'll also add a double started vial of WLP 007 to each carboy. It will be kegged and aged for nearly a year,

Got a head start on the weekend. Brewed a single hopped APA with DANA hops today. Second batch with a new BK and home-made hop spider and hit OG dead on with an extra qt of wort. Time will tell if I need to adjust for utilization.
Beer is my bucket list,

Pretty productive day for me. I brewed a single hop IPA today, hitting my numbers pretty much head on (including pH). The Idaho 7 hops I used smelled absolutely amazing in the whirlpool, pretty much just what I remembered from the SN beer - tangerine and apricot up front, with an earthy, herbal tea character. Can't wait for this one. I also finished tinkering with the back flavoring on my new cider. Finally got just the balance of tart and slight sweetness I wanted - it's killer. And to boot I beer gunned a few bombers to give to a friend as a birthday present. Hope not to wait over a month on the next brew day, I think I have time freed up now.

That is a productive day.  Kids must have been in the closet, huh?

Yeah, that option was on the table.  ;D   Luckily their activities have dwindled back to normal lately. Makes Dad a happy guy.

I am looking forward to it.

A weekend of firsts for me: Yesterday I brewed my first alt, and today I started lagering (a Vienna). I don't have a freezer, so I have the secondary in a round cooler in our very cool front foyer (43 degrees: let's hear it for no insulation and a mail slot that lets in that wonderful freezing air). If all turns out well, both will be regular brews every winter.

First lager for me today. A dunkel. All was well until I started to chill. My water hose was frozen. Duh!
