What are you doing with homebrew today?

[Over The Cliff Brewing]

Bottled up a case of still cider to sit for a few weeks.....TBD

I was thinking of making an amber or red ale.
Probably going to prep for Q4, but with pale ale malt instead of maris otter

A bit of Vienna or Munich should prop it up if you've got some on hand

I got Vienna
And amber
How much would you figure: about 10 % Vienna of total grain bill?

Sounds good a flick of the recipe would help more...

That's what I got so far.
Yeast is Kveik Voss, mash 1 hour at 67 oC

I just bottled my latest Amber Ale. In a departure from my normal practice of holding in primary for a minimum of 3 weeks, I “rushed” this batch at 17 days so that I could share some with friends who are hosting us for Thanksgiving. This batch used Wyeast 1056 American Ale yeast, starting at 1.057 and fermenting down to 1.013, right on target, for an abv of ~5.8%
Now the fermenter that I will use for my Vienna Garage Lager is available, but I have an IPA ready to brew first, likely this Saturday. If I can keep up this momentum, that first lager might get brewed early next week!

A splash of roast malt would darken that up some if ya got some on hand I'd think 2-3% would give it some redish hues?

I think I have some that I roasted for another beer but never used.
So no vienna?
I decreased crystal a bit as mine is 120 instead of Ozarks 90

I think Vienna would suit this beer perfectly but hey let's hear what @Ozarks Mountain Brew thinks its his beer after all

you guys can use what ever you want, the point of mine was a good easy drinking lager with a slight flavor from the dark crystal and hops but not overpowering, I accomplished both in my beer so good luck

That's pretty much my standard schedule. Primary for 18 days and cold crash for 2-3 days. That allows me to brew on one weekend and bottle on the third weekend afterwards.

I used to do everything on Mondays, because Monday was my day off. Now every day is Monday, or Wednesday, or whatever, so I have kind of lost my schedule. And that is OK, there is no stress. The biggest difference in my brewing is that the lhbs is closed on Sunday. When I lived in SoCal, I had 2 lhbs that were open 7 days a week. In any case, I am brewing more now than ever, and making better beer, for the most part.

Transferred Rakau You Christmas beer really nice citrus sweet candy tropical fruit thing going on really Digging the NZ hops and looking to sink my teeth into more!

I tried a little taste of the Thanksgiving Festbier last night. I was a happy boy. It is going to be quite crushable on Thursday.
Now I know why y'all like Vienna so much. That Pils/Munich/Vienna combo is quite nice.
