I brewed today!

Today was the Brown Ale. My first use of CaraBrown, it certainly smelled good. Started at 7 am, done before noon! The counterflow chiller couldn't get below 79F, so I waited 3 hours for the extra fridge to get it down to 66F, and pitched WLP005. Now just waiting for it to take off!

I hope it turns out well for you and your wife.

Thanks! It's partly your recipe ya' know.
She doesn't drink beer, even under duress. Chardonnay is her favorite. I made 6 gallons for her a while back, used an $80 kit, came out pretty good, but after it was carbonated (my idea) it went pretty fast.

On an unrelated note: We missed you last night on the Zoom call. One time you need to join us, I think you'd enjoy.

I have yet to zoom in this life. Some last Saturday of the month, I’ll need to send my wife away for the day, so I can join you all. But she is my tech expert, I might get lost without her around.

Bring her too! She is your cider-making teammate after all :) Either way, we'd love to hang out with you on the zoom call
 
English Porter today. This is going to be the one. I can just feel it. (If not, I’ll happily try again.) Giving Lalbrew London a chance to shine…we shall see.
Need to kick the summer beers to the curb anyway.

Please keep us posted on this. I’ve never used 005 and would really love to hear your take. Good luck with it.
 
Playing catch up at the brewery.
I brewed 5 times in the last 7 days and 2 more planned for the next 2 days!
2- IPAs
Cream ale
Pumpkin ale
Cherry smoked Baltic Porter

Today, I'm not sure yet, but tomorrow is a Festbier.
Cheers
You’re a busy brewer Brian. Good for you.
My brother lives in your town, too bad he doesn’t drink beer anymore. I am sure he still likes pizza though. Wonder if he’s ever visited your place?

If he ever does stop in, I do also have kombucha and Root beer, so at least a few options. Make sure he says hello, I'm always there during the days.
 
I actually held off and didn't brew today, I really addressed the needs over the last week and wasn't inspired to brew anything specific.
I am open for suggestions and would entertain any offered.
I hear Nosy has a nice Kentucky common, hint hint!
Festbier tomorrow!

Amber ale!
 
Got a Festbier going right now. Made a couple last minute changes to the hops. Ulta I ordered turned out to be very low AA(1.77), using 2oz for a late addition at 5 minutes and 1oz Mandarina, 1/2oz Cluster at 30 Working with what I've got on hand, have WAY too many hops laying around the freezer right now.
