I'll be bottling a porter sometime this weekend. Probably not brewing for a month or so as supply has gotten ahead of demand.
It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.

Nothing brewing this week. Plenty of yard work to do this weekend.

Making a starter for an IPA that will be brewed next weekend.

Yeah, I hear that.  My yard is a disaster. 

Nothing brewing this weekend.  Going to bottle up the ESB and rack a blonde.

Well, I may not being brewing this week/end but there is ALWAYS something to do in the brewhouse!  I have a Belgian IPA and a Strong Golden to keg up, 20 gallons of cider to check on and do something with or leave alone...  Barley wine to bottle, and man, I have not even thought about all those meads since last summer!!!  Bottling to do for the next round of comps coming up...

Phew.  Now I am stressed.  None of that is going to happen this week either.

ugh.

Guess  better go have a brew.

I'm thinking I might fire up the kettles tomorrow and brew another beer. 36 gallons in 8 days is a pretty good speed. :)

Dry-hopped my second attempt at a Two-Hearted Ale clone. The first clone was very tasty, but it wasn't quite on the mark for THA per se, and I realized that in halving it and making it partial-mash I had increased the percentage of Vienna seen in most of these recipes. This one seems good but I'm starting to think I liked the first one better! This was also my first attempt at using leaf hops for dry-hopping (with a sanitized chunk of pantyhose and some marbles). No brewing per se until mid-May.

And there we go.. another 12 gallons down tonight.

So 8 days, 36 gallons and thank the maker. Can't brew until this ferments done because my HLT is now serving as a water bath.
