Probably time to start thinking about doing my Oktoberfest for the year. This will be version3, 2015 was a bigger Maerzen type lager, and 2016 was a Festbier, a more modern lighter take.
Even though its not strictly necessary, I like to lager over the summer, which I will be able to do easily now with my kegging setup, without tying up a fermenter.

Just about to transfer a Swig of Sunbeams IPA over to the secondary and dry hop it. Took a little taste yesterday and sweet mother of god is it an amazing summer beer.

Sweet scale.
I have to use covered containers when I portion out the hop additions. Cats are snoopy. I also label the containers so I don’t screw up which hop at what time.

I put together two Honey Blonde Ales. No honey in, but honey malt. Each batch has one Hop, Ft Hood and Mosaic. I have to say the one with Mosaic Hops is tasty.

Last brew day for me was April 17, 2017. Today I finally got a chance to get back in it. Water is now heating for a raspberry wheat and a hefenweise will follow.

Bottled a NBs Witbeir last week. Bottled the Midnight Porter this morning. Another in the fermentor. This weekend the Speckled Heifer followed and the Chinook IPA Monday or Tuesday. American Amber ale a couple of weeks later. Will run out of rack space for the fermentors so need a short delay.
That will take care of the first part of Spring. Summer unknown yet. Might have to try out something with the Kviek yeast.
Well next week I’ll brew a saison then a hefe. I’m hoping my berry crop is strong want to brew up a bunch of sours with my fruit. Oh and got to sneak in a wit. I’ll do some wine with the excess fruit
Lets see …I have a Kama citra and a small keg of NEIPA on tap now, have a full keg just carbed of an Irish red in the basement , and a Plinian Legacy double IPA kit due to be delivered tomorrow that we will hopefully brew on Sunday. I think that should hold me for a bit.
Then I need to try something new I think. My sons love the IPA which I do too…but need something different next.

Had 2 recent trips, Minnesota(unplanned), and Ontario(planned), so now I am free to let the yeast fly!.. er, ferment.
Planning a pale ale with Citra, and Oktoberfest(Festbier version) then…likely a cream ale for the hottest weather.
Thinking about working with Rye in this Pale ale…five years in to homebrewing and I’ve never used Rye. Going to do some research…I know Denny has a Rye IPA recipe bouncing around here someplace…
Rye and Saison go very well together IMO
Going to do some NEIPA and tweak the Copper hopped beers.
