Busy weekend ahead for me. So probably no brewing on the agenda unfortunately. I have cut back on the drinking so I have a ton of beer available at the house anyways. I have to keg the Red IPA I brewed a few weeks back. Other than that no beer stuff this weekend.
What is everyone brewing? I need to throw something together for Larry Fest on the Northshore.

Old yeast finally did their job?

Yea, for the most part. The beers could not be more different though. One tastes like an IPA, the other (irish yeast) doesnt at all.

I brewed a 100% brett orange chamomile lavender wit yesterday and am going to brew some base lambic today. Planning to pull some lambic out of my barrel for dry hop and bottling and then will back fill with the fresh lambic wort. I'm going to brew up 6 gallons and put 4 in the barrel and do a test run cool ship in the backyard with the other 2 gallons. The plan is to split that cool ship into two 1 gallon jugs and see what happens.

ordered the supplies for my first all-grain batch, the Calypso pale ale, but it hasn't shipped yet so I guess I'm not brewing anything this weekend. I will be dry hopping the rye ipa with an ounce of Amarillo and an ounce of Citra. After 3 days I will hit it again with another ounce of each.
The next two weeks will be like learning this stuff all over again, with filling my first kegs, my first yeast starter, and my first all-grain batch. This is exactly what I needed to do to get excited about brewing again after hitting the doldrums late last summer

The weather isn't looking so great this weekend, so I might not be brewing anything and instead drinking inside. Next weekend I am looking to have a group brew with some people. Hopefully that can happen.

I may actually brew a small starter wort inside, to then put into a large growler with flowers from my yard. See if I can pull some yeasts out of the fauna around my house.

I don't miss those days at all. Really love the fact that we've got such a good homebrew shop in town now.
Best of luck though with everything I'm sure you're excited.
We're brewing our TropicAle this weekend under the carport I imagine.

that would be nice but the nearest shop to me is an hour and a half away and pretty small

Gonna try to make it up to the LHBS this afternoon to get supplies for a 10 gallon batch of Graham Cracker Porter.

I bottled some of the coffee vanilla porter for that competition.

Kind of what I was referring to when I suggested bottomland's malt bill.
Seems like a lot of the bright new IPas are having wheat or oats or something like that in them.

Pulled a sample of my rye IPA
Down to 1.013
Hit it with the first round of dry hops
Sample tastes great
Very happy with this one

My first homebrew came out pretty good. Chocolate maple porter. Already ready to try my next home brew.
