What is brewing at your "brewery"? Is it a repeat favorite or a new recipe? Are you shooting for a Classic Style or just a Happy it Tastes Great?
Share your thoughts and goal!

My next batch will be Ole Muhlpis Blonde Ale. I just have to make some time to get down to Blaine's shop and get the grain.

I'll be grinding grain and starting a pair of starters Saturday for my first all grain. I'm going to do a pair of lagers utilizing German style hops in one and American hops in the other. All other ingredients will be the same. I will do my best to repeat exact production times and methods for both batches. Just curious about the different hop flavors!

I finnaly broke the ice! Despite many planned atempts, I have made a All Grain Brew today. In fact, it went so well, I made 2!! These were my Kamut experiments. The first went OK, a few hicups, extra water, low OG (the extra water), swampy kitchen floor! LOL
Brew #1. - I did hit all the decoction/ rest marks .... with adjustments (yes .. extra water). Did I mention how wonderful my wort chiller works!!! 212 - 70 in 20 minutes!! I split a yeast tube to make both batches with 1 tube. 1600 ml starter split in half, started yesterday. Great activity within 25 minutes!
Brew #2. - OK, not only did I hit every rest mark with the recommended decoction with minor (made Boil-in-Bag) adjustments, as before, Iodine test was good AND hit the estimated OG! 800 ml starter again busy after 25 minutes!

I am sure they will be great beers. The worst part is waiting for them to be ready.

YEP! Being my first All Grain and my own recipe, I am very anxious! The roasted Kamut smelled really good.
They are both Heffe Weizen styles, the brew with the roasted malt may be a bit dark for the style. With the malty smell of the roasted grain being a bit stronger than the unroasted I added 0.10 OZ extra Saaz Hops at the 50 minute mark of the boil. I kept my batch sample, added some of the yeast drippings. It already smells like a nut brown Ale! The yeast starters worked perfectly. I used a yeast starter kit from Blaine.

It should be all right I would think. I have heard that if there ore off flavors sometimes they will condition out in the bottle in a few weeks. That framboise I made is really coming around now, but I only have 4 bottles left.  Dave |

Too much going on lately, finally just kegged both Kamut brews. Both were still active, after more than a month!! I made up a bottling sugar mix recipe for bottling 5 gallons. I split that between two kegs. Both kegs had pressure with in one hour! Purged the kegs with CO2 before and after filling. The roasted Kamut was just slightly darker, aroma was slightly smokey! I'll pop the cork(s) in two weeks.......
