Even just brewing the quarterly recipe and giving us your impressions/tasting notes is great! Zoom meetings are optional (but very enjoyable)
What's your next brew

This is what I'm hoping to brew this weekend.
https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1222957/40l-lager
As per recipie :
Going to no chill in kettle overnight but I'm also going to transfer into keg 19lt to save for another fermentation.
Will transfer off wort into no chill keg before adding sugar addition to kettle.
Will add half flame out Sazz hops to keg before racking over 30g.
Will do this at 10 to go.
See if the cane sugar brings some crispness ad well as mash schedule

How long do you plan to save the 19L wort that is in the keg?
Until the first batch is fermented then I'll transfer that in then just tip keg on top.
Easier said than done
Do you contain the hops in anything or just let them free float?
I let them free.
Usually they sink to bottom of kettle and pretty much just transfer in wort mostly.
But with keg it'll be rough and ready I won't be able to control the hops so maybe I'll bag them in a paint strainer bag hmmm good call cheers sunfire.
Then I can just pick the bag out before up ending it into fermentor.
I’ll make another bitter next week.
I've done no chill twice now and have been thinking about how I would add hops to the fermenter lol but I'm serving from the same keg, so I think it would be best to contain them and remove before pitching the yeast
My plan is to do a West Coast IPA and a kolsch next. But I seem to always change my brewing plans last minute maybe I should buy the ingredients now so I'm shoehorned into committing

I thought why not? I ordered and received a Brewdemon no boil Vienna lager kit.

We'll see how it turns out.

I'm brewing a malty Munich Dunkel this weekend based on Nosybear's suggestion, simple recipe with just 3 grains

I weighed the grains and set aside the (say it in French) accoutrements for a milk chocolate peanut butter porter. It will be my first time using lactose, toasting my own cocoa nibs, and using PB2. This one is PB2 with cocoa.
The plan is to toss the lactose in for the last 10 minutes of the boil.
.. to toast the nibs in 5 minute intervals until they smell right. Throw them in when I pitch the yeast.
.. stir the PB2wC into a whirlpool at flame out.
No secondary, the nibs and PB will do their work in one fermenter. I'll probably let that ride for 3 to 4 weeks and then package. Fingers crossed.

After much time to think about it, I have settled on an altered version of Man Piss Switch, which I will call Dubbel Switch
https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1227277/dubbel-switch
I liked the first version enough to want to brew it again, with just some minor changes.https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1227277/dubbel-switch
This version adds in a little Special B, and uses mostly Noble hops, in some effort to make it more to style.

Put in an order at the brewshop for my next 2 brews: a West coast IPA and a kolsch. I meant to brew the IPA sooner, but needed to build up some yeast. I'll use the yeast cake of BRY97 from my last golden ale and transfer the wort right on top. For the kolsch I'll be trying another no chill batch.

brewing a stout the day after charismas I hope anyway, I'm trying to give a good roast flavor without any sharp or bitterness of any kind, plenty of sweetness and flaked barley in my recipe so far
Just brewed “This Bitter’s in Shambles” using the slurry from the same recipe 2 weeks ago. I’ll brew this one the same way one more time. Then it will be a few German lagers as the temps are perfect for it.
