Iām finally going to bottle my porter this morning. In between bread dough rising will get set up for the bottling.
Then some real fun. May have a blister rust infection in a white pine. Have to climb up into the tree to look at the browning branch. Might have to do some high altitude pruning to save the tree.

Bring some latex paint up with you so when you cut that branch, you can paint a band aid on itā¦ If its what you think it isā¦ I think its a spore caused problemā¦ I like the white pine so muchā¦ Sneezles61
Tomorrow going to do a Scotch Ale and a double batch of ESBS. Got the starter for the SA going now. Any thoughts on Danstar Nottingham for an ESB? I think we used WLP007 before and it was good in our very humble opinions.

Picked up my 3711 today. Going to brew that saison tomorrow in the garage door. To darn hot to brew outside but nice basement temp for fermenting a saison
yea i didnāt brew yesterdayā¦hot as b@!!$ here and getting hotter
When itās real hot or real cold I do a 3gallon batch. Mash with coffee pots in the basement. Soon as the weather breaks Iāll go outside and do ten.
Iām aiming for Sunday morning early before it heats up. Supposed to start cooling down a bit Saturday evening.

I got that 3 gallon batch cooling in an ice bath inside now. Nice mellow brew day. Didnāt even get out the hoses and chiller. 3 gallon is a nice size for a beer I bottle like the saison
I will brew our mocktoberfest (thanks BC) Sunday morning alsoā¦ Our LHBS didnāt have much to choose from as far as ale yeastā¦ Iām going WWAAYY out on a limb, 5 of Burton, ā¦ and 5 of Australian ale!! Thatāll knock the nickers of the Germans!! Yeah its been hot here tooā¦ 80ās todayā¦ was a buggar to work outside in today! The only place in Mn. where there wasnāt a tree for miles!!

Itās funny you mentioned it but today I was thinking of your mocktoberfest when drinking my ESB and wondered about using a London ale yeast. Your right that would put a twist in someoneās lederhosen.
I canāt hardly believe it, but between hunting season and me injuring my knee, it had been over a year since I brewed. Last Saturday, I brewed two batches to try to get caught up a bit. I didnāt make anything too exciting (an Irish Red and an Oatmeal Stout). I plan to give quite a bit of it away to coworkers who transported me to and from work for the 6 weeks I couldnāt drive and to the neighbor who continues to mow my front lawn as I recover from the surgery. None of them venture much past Guiness, Amberbock, etc. so I tried to choose some pretty tame recipes.
