Qs

I had a crazy boil off rate today. Given that I came in high on pre-boil gravity and my mash temps were low this could end up a lot stronger than I had planned. Hoping the high gravity makes up for the possible over attenuation from the low mash though.

beerfly

did the mash for a berliner weiss earlier. tucked up nice and warm for the weekend now.
souring it with a handful of acid malt so will know in a day or two if i have something tasty or a new biological weapon  :P

Would ya feck off. I'm going with a few g of co2 extract for bittering. I'll actually have some wort to ferment.

Me and Armedcor will be brewing the Punk IPA clone from the malt miller, we'll see how it goes. Also get to test the new ss brewtech kettle!

Just dry hopped my black ipa, with 60g each of amarillo and simcoe. It's going to be a monster at ~6% and over 70 IBU. Smell was really nice from the fermenter when adding the hops.

Oktoberfest (and maybe a Trippel if time and swmbo permits)

nigel_c

Brewing a nice big DIPA. Haven't brewed one in a while now.
9.2% with Chinook, Simcoe, Citra , Topaz and Cascade.
Smells fantastic so far and that's just weighing out the hops.
300g into the boil and about 100 more for dry hopping.  :)
