I decided to brave the elements and brew today. Pliny clone come right up.
I'd crash this if the roads weren't so bad. Put the recipe together yourself?

Nope, straight from Vinnie's booth at NHC. Well minus switching Magnum for Columbus for bittering.

Well, my yeast finally came in yesterday. However, my old yeast that i used is working pretty well. I guess i made a great starter. The airlock is still bubbling, and that fermwrap is pretty damn awesome. I'll be checking the gravity sunday. I'm anxious to brew again.
Anybody need any Wyeast 3711 French Saison yeast?

I mean, I will certainly use it if you are looking to get rid of it.

After 6 days my pale ale is at 1.016, just 2 points off target. Went ahead and dumped 3.5 ounces of hops into the fermenter, and will bottle (maybe keg) next weekend.

3.5 oz in a pale ale. 
Update for Swamp Rat. City-wide shutdown made us reschedule for next Tuesday. Pass the word along to any New Orleans people. Meet around 7-7:30 at 12 mile limit next Tuesday.

No hops during the boil?
Posted on 2/1/14 at 1:25 pm to BottomlandBrew
With this style beer, should I?

How are you getting 29 ibus without hops in the boil?
Posted on 2/1/14 at 9:11 pm to LSURoss
99% of the time you need hops in the boil. At minimum you need hops added over 190 degrees or so to get some sort of bitterness. You're not doing a light lager or sour or anything like that, so you need probably minimum 15 ibu to give it a chance to round out. I'm a fan of low AA noble hops for my 60 minute additions. Your fruitiness is going to come from the pineapple, citra, and possibly whatever yeast you use. Your bitterness has to come from early additions to balance the fruit sweetness.

Thanks!

In secondary with the dry hops.

Bottled my first ever homebrew batch last night. It went fine except the bottle bucket leaked. I tested it before and was only able to get it to a very slow drip. Of course when I put beer in it, the spigot shifted and started a decent leak. I ended up getting it under control, but it leaked the entire time. The thing was brand new, but it was like the washers it came with were too small - they fit inside the pre drilled hole.
All that said, bottled about 52 beers of Kolsch ale. Hopefully they'll be ready for a drink in a couple of weeks.

Better brew again tomorrow. You need to build up that pipeline. Congrats on the kölsh.

Taste tested my BIPA yesterday. I am impressed with myself. I was going to consider dry hopping it but I think I will just leave it as it is. The problem now is keg space.
Less than two weeks to Iron Brewer. Everyone should be there.

Always dry hop it.
Brewed again this weekend. All Galaxy IPA with 4.5 or so in the boil and another 2 oz for Dry hop. Put it on top of the yeast cake from the Iron Brewer IPA and it's going as strong as ever. I'm beginning to like this second use I'm getting out of a yeast pitch.
Bo Pils brewed on Tuesday is already wrapping itself up and I'm raising temps slowly on it this week.
