Who is brewing, right now?

Nice job!
Pretty cool process, huh?

Damn straight, brotha! I will never go back to mash-extract unless I absolutely have to. This is very cool process & way too much fun. Thanks! About to start my boil, everything's going smooth. Starting in on a 6'er of Lagunitas Little Sumpin' as my sidekick.

Congrats on the switch over. I'm sure the AG forum will become a close friend over the next few batches. For me, every time I thought I had it down, I learned about something else in the process... the hard way. "Shit this is easy, how can all these idiots get stuck mashes... oh fuck... flow you bastard!!!!"

Thanks Ozwald! Yeah, I've been reading & searching the AG forum for some time now & for sure, I have no delusions on what pitfalls may lie ahead. It will certainly be a learning process. This first session went awesome other than realizing my pot was the exact same size as my boil volume! Lets just say my floor was a bit sticky. Haha, guess I'm not winning any awards for arithmetic on that one! All in all it was pretty painless & I hit pretty damn close to all my projected numbers...win! I'm waivin bye bye to LME in my life. The ORCA is now happily & steadily bubbling away in the Carboy.

Brewed JZ's American Stout recipe yesterday.

Just fired the HLT for an ESB today. First time playing with the Edinburgh strain (WLP028). Gonna be a good one judging from the starter. This wind can suck it though.

Just getting ready to sparge another batch of my version of Denny Conn's Rye IPA. Going for about 1.078 og. This batch is for the Extreme Beerfest here in Omaha next February.

finished up a schlitz clone before the wind hit then went for a drive in my 56 chevy all in all a good day.

Loving this yeast. I pitched a 1 quart starter made with 1 vial into 12 gallons, looking for that slight yeast strained estery-ness, figuring the trade-off would be a slightly longer lag. I just woke up 9 hours after pitching to 3" of dense foam on top. So much for a longer lag time.

Had a great day here in Eastern Washington with the garage door open and brewing up an IPA for the holidays. Trying to get to know my hop aromatics, so its an all Chinook IPA. 2.25 oz. at flame out, got the whirlpool going and dry hopping with 1 oz. when fermentation slows. God I love 50 degree brew days in December.

On this fine morning I'm brewing up a 6 gallon batch of a Flanders Red, in honor of both a friend's 1st child & the 79th anniversary of the signing of the 21st Amendment.
