I have been so busy its hard to find time to brew, let alone sit down and take time to browse the forum. I'm only online when I'm home, sitting down on a chair at my desk top with a homebrew in one hand and .................... with the other.

            On deck brews: Juniper black ale

muddywater_grant · June 19, 2013, 8:57pm

Hope was the scotch ale? A style I really enjoy, but have never brewed.

radagast · June 19, 2013, 8:58pm

It’s in it’s last week in secondary, I’ll bottle it this weekend, carb it up and let you know. I need more carboys. :twisted:

:cheers:

Yeah, would love to hear your thoughts.

More carboys is really the only answer. I currently have four primaries and two secondaries. And some times I wish I had a couple more.

Hope to fit in more, probably will do another IPA, but that’s the schedule.

First one post-Mr Beer brewed yesterday. NB American Wheat Ale with Clementine peel, coriander and rosemary. Wish me luck.

muddywater_grant · June 25, 2013, 1:34pm

geerboggles · June 25, 2013, 2:46pm

[quote=“GeerBoggles”]1. American Brown Ale (Bottled)
2. Hoppy Irish Red Ale (Primary)
3. Haven’t decided yet, Waiting to free up my 6.5 Gal Carboy from the HIRA (Planned)
4. All Citra IPA (Planned) Wife’s request was a fruity/tart IPA for the first beer she gets after giving birth in May. The plan is to have it ready to drink on the day the baby is born.

There may be a couple more beers in between 3 & 4 depending on what kind of time I have in the coming months.[/quote]

Update:
1. American Brown Ale
2. Hoppy Irish Red
3. Jamil’s Cali Common
4. American Pale Ale (my best beer yet. Just drank the last bottle this weekend and bought the ingredients to brew it again once I free up my big carboy)
5. American Wheat brewed with Mosaic Hops. It seemed bitter and one dimensional when it was first ready to drink. After 4 weeks in the bottle it has conditioned very well and has turned into a sweet & juicy tasting summer beer. I am very pleased with the outcome.
6. Citra IPA that I brewed on Saturday. I am very excited for this one.

mullerbrau · June 25, 2013, 11:34pm

All batches are 22 gallons:
Kentucky Cream Ale
Rye IPA
Two Hearted Ale
Red Chair IPA
7C’s Pale Ale
BVIP
Irish Red Ale

House pale iii

muddywater_grant · June 26, 2013, 1:44am

David, is the house pale iii the 15 gallons you and ed brewed?

How do y’all split the batches?

holaday1185 · June 26, 2013, 6:59pm

No the blonde was a 15 gallon batch. I have a 70 qt mashtun which is big enough for most small 15 gallon batches. Ed has a 25 gallon pot. After the boil we fill as many buckets that are required. Aerate, pitch, and ferment. Forgot the dreaded clean though!

muddywater_grant · June 26, 2013, 7:31pm

What was your blonde recipe. I just did one, and still deciding if I am going to dryhop or not. Taste great in the carboy.

I am pretty sure this is what I did. It fermented down to 1.008 if I remember correctly.

sidenot: I originally wrote the recipe with flake grains, but wasn’t paying enough attention and used flaked oats. Whoops.
