I'm brewing an altbier today to test some new malt from Montana Craft malt. I'll be using their Bavarian pils and light Munich.

I'm brewing a West Coast IPA with Centennial at first wort hops and Perle late. My brain thinks it will be delicious.

Will brew a Kolsch style tmrrw with 50/50 Weyermann Vienna and Weyermann Fl. Malted Pils. with 10% Weyermann Pale Wheat. Czech Saaz and Hallertau Mittelfrueh. Lalbrew Koln. Soft water and warm ferment temp.

Finishing up a Bohemian Pilsner...trying a new recipe formulation. I hit all of my gravity numbers spot-on; a very nice feeling when it happens!

[denny]

Update: hit all the numbers dead on. Pitched an SNS starter of WY1007 and saw signs of fermentation in about 6 hours.

Sounds like some good stuff brewing around here.

This is my first batch with the North Star Pils.

Love that malt. Really full flavor. Doing a tripel with it soon.

Brewing a NE IPA this AM. The framework is based on a Tree House video.





Edit: this beer didn’t end up hazy. It was clear. So, I entered it as a Blonde Ale. It scored a 40 and took 1st at its table at SNAFU Winterfest.

Simcoe-Amarillo-Citra is an all-time classic IPA combo, and it's even better now that we have Cryo versions available of these hops. That should be a great beer, even at that low hopping rate you have.

In honor of Pearl Harbor I decided to brew a small batch with Warrior and Veteran’s Blend hops this AM.  I think it’s the first 1 gal batch on my regular setup so it’s serving as a test batch.

My goal is to be able to brew these ‘challenge’ beers the club has but I don’t want 5 gal of Fruity Pebbles beer or whatever they dream up. I got a new little fermenter and keg for these small batches.

Brewed an IPA based on my own favorite grain-bill and late-hopping inspired by Brew Dudes recipe in response to Tree House brewing guidelines.  Adjusted water recipe to not go big on chloride.  Decided to do boiling hops to 35 IBU rather than low for a 1.063 beer.  20 min. and hop stand additions of Comet, Simcoe, and Citra.  Probably will dry hop with those three as well.  Trying the Lamelamand New England ale yeast (Conan) for the first time.  Don't care if it's hazy or West Coast or other.  It will be IPA.  Not sure that I've ever had a Tree House beer; but some hazy IPAs are too flabby for me.

I brewed a beer based on that same video (post No 174 above). I taste tested it today. I really like it.

Just put this one in the fermenter.



Edit: this beer scored a 32 at the Bluebonnet
