What are you brewing 2015?

[HBHB]

Starting the year off with something a little malty. Munich Dunkel ought to do the trick. Should be spot on by the time it cools down just a little.

 

[lukasfab]

Will be doing some American browns, IPA, iipa and the usual apa's
Need to do some big beers for Nevs case swap too
Few stouts as well

 

[manticle]

How about today/immediate future lukas?
Like the 'what are you listening to?' thread, this one is supposed to be about current happenings, preferably with at least a few hints towards recipe.

 

[lukasfab]

First brew done last night, smash
GP and cascade

 

[lukasfab]

Lol you beat me to it mate, I forgot that I brewed last night

 

[danestead]

Put down a secret pilot brew for a mate who owns Bitter Youth Brewing Co. yesterday. This morning I put down an APA. With any luck it turns out nice because my first 2 recipe attempts were sub standard. Who would of thought itd be hard to brew an APA right?

The rest of the year will be spent working on a range of personal recipes, with a few going into the WASABC and PRBS comps.

Hop Hog Clone
APA
Munich Dunkel
Sweet Stout
English Special Bitter
IIPA
American Amber Ale

The LHBS opens tomorrow after a brief hiatus. Plan on stocking up for a centennial & chinook APA and Snow's version of the Stone and Wood Pacific Ale clone.

Never used Chinook, so I'm excited.

i'd never used it, but had tasted it in the Tower 10 IPA. if you want to try a beer which is exclusively chinook (at least i think it is...could be wrong, but there's a lot of it) then give it a try. i love it.

i then put it in an IPA of my own and probably overdid it a bit at haha (72 ibu mostly from chinook). paired with centennial it would be a ripper. be mindful though, both those paired can give you a very bitter beer - even in moderate proportions.

Two things really stand out in that photo mate:

1. The crazy angle of the bottling wand. Is that just to make it easier comfort-wise? I've always just had mine pointing straight down (so to speak).
2. The fact you have multiple empties of Crown Golden Ale...gifts?

That is not the TWO things that stood out to me!

Not that I should have to explain myself but the tap washer is a replacement (being a bit thicker) and doesn't screw on as far.
And the various empty bottles are ones I've asked friends to keep

 

[AHB_Admin]

I started my first Joe's Ancient Orange Mead.

 

[QldKev]

I've only got a couple planned at the moment

A Bo Pils that I need to get moving on, otherwise summer will be gone.
and a Black Rye IPA that I'm going to do a partigyle on. The heavy first runnings will be aged for winter, while I plan on drinking the lighter second runnings young.
