Oh Crap

Out of interest what is anyone brewing this week...
I'm doing a cider tomorrow and 15l dragon blood 'wine'
Sunday is my "Bog Water" black lager and Wednesday is a celebration stout, for a Yankee friend. Thanks to bier tourist for the idea

What he all brewing?
Beer
1 is good, 2 is better, 3 is enough & 4 isn't half enough

Qs

I made a Kolsch today. Was a bit of a mess of a brew day, made a few changes on the fly but I hit my gravity and volume numbers so not too bad.

American rye ale tomorrow.
What % rye are you using. Just being nosey!

made the HBC Pale Ale kit Tuesday and will bottle the BIAB bitter kit over the weekend. There is a similar thread to this on boards that is great
Lifes Too Short To Not Make Beer

Fermenter 1 - Turquoise Lunar Showing

Fermenter 2 - Vitalift Cider

I did a citra smash with pale malt today.  The last brew I did was the same except I used Maris otter so it'll be interesting to see the difference.

That's the question isn't it! I was going to go with 40% (I've loads of oat hulls) but I think I'll keep it to 30% to be on the safe side and put a little carahell in as well so it's not too dry. Anyone have any suggestions, as I'm pretty much flying blind on this one?

I put on a Coopers APA kit for a quick brew evening.  1 KG of spraymalt in 10l of water, boiled and added 50g of Amarillo for 5 minutes of the boil.  Topped upto 19L    Will dry hop with Citra perhaps.

Did an old favourite today. citra, amarillo, simcoe IPA, with magnum for bittering.

Used 17% Munich - first time going that far with it. Interested to see how it goes.

Might do a Bells 2 hearted IPA clone on Monday..

Qs

Bottled a porter today, tasted quite nice from the sample. Transferred a couple wine kits I have going too.

Started off a smoked porter yesterday. Think of a white stout later in the week.

Qs

I've heard of white stout before but I've no idea what it is?

robotmonkey

It's a stout that's light in colour. The bitterness comes from using coldbrewed coffee and cacao extract.

Brewed an Aramis IPA on Sunday. It's fermenting away nicely now.

I was gonna take a whack at my first saison this weekend. Here's the recipe I was going to use. I'll throw in some orange peel and ginger for the last minute or two of the boil. Any thoughts?
