Nothing planned. Maybe a revisit of my house pale ale.

Probably won't have time to brew anything but will do some random other stuff, like kegging. Just bought the stuff to make a Belgian wit fermented with brettanomyces

I would really like to do one of these. I hear, though, that Rye can be difficult, because it acts like cement when wet and heated. Let us know how it goes.

I probably do this recipe more than any other. I have had few problems with sticky sparges with 15-20% rye. Rice hulls help but I am all out.

I just moved my first brew Autumn Amber kit from Midwest to a secondary. Looks much redder than I expected, but hopeing for good results. My fridge I bought for my homebrews came in to sears yesterday so Ill pick it up and possibly work on making it into a keggerator.
Ill probably start my second brew next weekend.

Nice. Yeah, the differences between red an amber are often subtle to me. It just depends on what dark grain was used. I find chocolate malt gives a pretty good red color.

It was 2 oz. Special B, 8 oz. Crystal 80L, 2 oz. Roasted Barley specialty grains.
No Chocolate malt.
Rereading the description makes me feel like this is the right color:
This Amber Ale features a deep amber-red color balanced with selected flavoring and aromatic hops.

I have plenty if you need some.

Thanks man. I am pretty much done with this one. Almost time to chill. No sticking issues thankfully

Oh I thought you meant the morning, as in tomorrow morning. Didn't realize you were doing a Friday brew session.

Weather and temperatures are looking good for the next week or more to brew a saison. Might just have to make that happen this weekend.

I have not brewed one of those in years. They always came out good though. I am not a huge saison guy. I really don't like saison dupont oddly enough.

I picked up a saison recently for the first time in over a year. Cellar Door by that guy in maryland (cant think of the brewery name). If i dont like this one i'll give up.

Stillwater is the brewery you are referring to.

Saisons are my favorite style to brew. I use the term "style" loosely as most of mine aren't BJCP saisons, but rather anything I use a saison yeast with.
I'm cheap and somewhat lazy, so in the summer months I use primarily saison yeasts that work with temps in the high 70s and low 80s.
