Ok, what's up folks?

I'm being forced to take a day off this Friday. (guess I have too many vacation hours stored up. sheesh)

So, if I'm taking a day off, guess I better figure out what's going in the kettles.

I have a day off on Monday, so I'm making a Belgian Pale Ale with either the Leuven Pale Ale yeast or the Canadian/Belgian yeast.

Well for the first time, my chest freezer is full.  So I may rack the Hard Lemonade to secondary.  But the IPA and Amber are only 4 and 5 days old right now.  So, no brewing for me. 

(but, I love watching the bubblers)

Cream Ale on Sunday.  My wife flies out for a conference on Saturday.  Unfortunately, it became a tradition for me to brew while she's out of town, even with two boys now (2 and 5 months).  Half of this 10g batch goes to a photographer who did a shoot for our family portraits and gave us everything for free.  It's the least I can do.

house IPA on Sunday.

Hopefully I can do an instructional brew this weekend - belgian porter from my LHBS robust porter kit with about a pound of pureed raisins and trappist ale yeast

and... Ugh... bottling the house/competition IPA sometime this weekend.

AND ordering a beer gun the Brewer's Cup is coming up!

the Brewer's Cup is coming up!

PIcked up a CP filler this week partly for that same reason.

Thinking about doing a 10 gallon batch of wheat beer (50% pils, 50% wheat malt).  I plan to ferment one carboy with WLP300 for a more classic German Wheat flavor profile, the other with Safale K-97 dry yeast, which I happen to have on hand. The second carboy will later get racked on top of 3lbs of cherry puree for a secondary fermentation.

Any thoughts on that dry yeast?  I've never used this one. I don't want any banana/clove clashing with the cherry.  Can I ferment both at the same temperature, say 62F?

I'm brewing 11 gallons of Kolcsh and kegging my German Pilsner.

Nothing here, I'm working on my brew shed and equipment, but the brews I made in February are finally drinkable.  The rye IPA and a stout I made were both salty until this week, the IPA lost a lot of hop flavor and aroma but its drinkable, its a bit big for this time of year maybe but what the heck.

Nothing brewing this week. Just kegging & lagering 10 gallons of a Vienna Lager I brewed a few weeks ago. Should be ready for the 4th of July bash!!!

[BrewingRover]

I've got two small batches to bottle this weekend and a wit to brew sometime next week. I'm on vacation and my wife's at a conference. Who knew beer could keep you out of trouble?

All my Kegs are full and so is the Oak bbl....
I am taking a break....but will vicariously watch you all brew 

[hopfenundmalz]

Not brewing.  Just bottled some Amarillo APA.  The club run competition is tomorrow and I am helping.

Saturday going to a local brewpub to rack beer from a "same wort different yeast experiment".

Pretty busy for not making any beer.`
