Thanks, it made for a busy brew day. One is my friends new Gen4 and the one on the right is my 3.1.1. Teaching her how to brew, this is our second brew together.

Brewed my next iteration of a sweet stout today. This one is called Velvet Elvis, with oak cubes, vanilla beans and cocoa nibs. Didn't realize my pre-boil gravity was off since I had a lactose late addition, and extended the boil to get my gravity up. Result was higher ABV and lower amount in the fermenter. Learning something new each time...

Just finished cleaning up from brewing a lager (I think)! I did a step mash and did something I never do. I did a mash out at 170F. OG came out 10pts higher than expected. We'll see how it comes out.
I brewed and I decided to go for 2... 
the Bunyip is finishing up the whirlpool and then chilled and yeast pitched. Festbier ia already in a fermenter and pitched. And then a very quick CIP of the kettles and I'll deal with everything else in the morning lol I'm beat

Boiling a pale ale right now.
Halfway through the mash on a Mild. Debating breaking my own yeast-head rule and using 34/70 slurry instead of London Ale (dry yeast). I’m not looking to experiment on this batch so I’m 75/25 going to use the English yeast.
Or maybe verdant??
Pretty good brew day. I finished a few points high so not as mild as intended but it’ll be ok. I pitched verdant.

I did a split batch of dark milds today...13 gallons of wort in a 16 gallon kettle always makes for a daunting day but we have 2 bubbling carboys in the cellar.
Going for more malty taste so I went with 1/2 Simpson's best pale and Briess 2 row.
