Busy two days of homebrewing related activities for me. I have a Porter that I need to keg (hopefully it comes out well), and a Reisling that I need to transfer into another carboy. I have all the necessary stuff to make fig wine, just don't feel confident in the recipe. Advice anyone?

If suspense's significant other starts feeling better the plan is to brew a Suspense/Fratastic collaboration Russian River Clone tonight. However since there is a sick party, we may have to move it to tomorrow. If we brew tonight then tomorrow I am brewing a Saison Dupont, if we brew tomorrow then the Saison gets brewed tonight.

A non TD friend is coming tomorrow to brew an extract German Ale since all his brewing equipment is at my house.

Lots of cleaning of carboys, kegs, and wine bottles needs to happen as well.

Busy two days.

Anyone else?

I just need to get to racking the two beers that I meant to rack over the weekend. It's on the list for today's activities.

I am gonna brew something. I have Thursday and Friday off as well. I need to get at least 2 under my belt. I just don't know what yet.

What variety of Russian River will you be cloning?

We will see.

It's going to be a busy day and a half for me too. Consecration clone and Chocolate Hazelnut Porter that will most likely end up in a bourbon barrel for a short time.
Really looking forward to brewing again. It feels like it's been too long and I have yet to use my new stainless brew kettle.

This evening I plan on brewing a strong belgian golden. I'm also going to be putting together and apfelwein, but I'm using sake yeast as that's what the girlfriend suggested.

While that's brewing I'll keg up my hibiscus saison as I rebrewed it after I got a lot of constructive comments at WYES.

anyone spot the 10th anniversary ruination yet? I went to marcello's last monday and the guy said they'd have it that thursday. I figured i'd be safe going to calandro's yesterday, but it wasn't there.

and thanks to all you a-holes who cleaned out the green flash!

Sorry for going off-topic but I didn't want to start another thread. I have been wanting to try homebrewing and saw that groupon had a deal, $64 for everything here. I was wondering if this would be a decent starter kit for my first run. Thanks

My buddy who's son and he are in some of you guys beer club took off yesterday. I'm assuming they were brewing since he told me they were about out of stock and heading to Abita the other day for supplies. I'll have to ask him what they brewed-I think something smoked and maybe another of his strawberry ambers.
