Well, my ingredients for my second batch of oatmeal stout comes in today. This time i have rice hulls to combat the stickiness. If this fails, i may have a panic attack.
After this batch, i plan on brewing my 3rd Prime IPA, and might hop it up a bit. It was 52 IBU's, i may push it to 60/65 and do more dry hopping.
After that, i may do some experimental brews. After reading about apothecary ales, i would like to make a standard brew, but try some new techniques with it. I may also, try to make a winter saison. Possibly a saison with some ginger and something to do with spruce leaves.

I'm doing a saison next and my wife suggested putting fresh pomegranate from my cousins tree. I did a quick search about adding fruit. What y'all think?

Adding fruit is easy. In thinking about the flavor remember that a lot of the sweetness will ferment out.

Fruit is very easy. I find you get more flavor when you secondary with fruit. However, the amount depends on the fruit. A very tart fruit, like Strawberries could probably go with .5 lb/gallon. Where as a more subdued fruit, like blackberry, could be about 1 lb/gallon. Or something like figs, where you would need about 1.3 lbs/gallon. Depending on how fruity you want it.
With pomegranate, and the fact it's a saison, i'd go with .5 lb/gallon.

Starting to plan out the weekend's brewday. Thinking of a Rye Stout with English malt/yeast. Taking advantage of the yeast cake I will have from the Pale Ale that finished fermenting last night.
Will take a look at the grains that I have after work today to see what the exact makeup will be.

I have been working my way through their blog, mountainbrewery.org, and have been very impressed. The guy took a pretty big gamble and it seems to be paying off.
I have been thinking about getting an oak barrel to use for primary fermentation and his blog has me pretty much convinced to go get one. I just need to figure out what size and where to get it.

Plan on getting our brew on Friday night... not sure yet about a style, something sessionable for tailgates later this season for sure.
And nothing too crazy, going to see what all Cuban has to offer.

When I was putting away some yeast tonight I filled a few extra containers if any of y'all want one as a freebie. It's a farmhouse mix. Mix of Wyeast 3711, Brett lambicus, and Brett claussenii. Makes a pretty damn good beer, if I do say so. Kegged the beer tonight. Gonna be a few months before it's ready, but was tasting mighty fine.
Hit me up @ My username at gmail. Be more than happy to drop some off or drop some in the mail.

Very Very nice of you. I don't have anything like that planned for the moment but I might take you up on that in the future if it's still an option.

Sounds like some kind of inbred backwoods blend that Cajuns would use in an old farmhouse
The starter that I made with Crooked Stave brett drrgs went from dormant for 5 days to explosive. Smells unreal.

I'm in the car all day everyday (100-200 miles) can anyone recommend a homebrewing podcast or some podcast related to beer? TIA

The brewing network has 4 or 5 shows. I like Brew Strong but the Jamil Show and Sunday Session are also entertaining.

There is also Basic Brewing Radio. Can get a little hokey sometimes, but there is some good info in a few of those. You'll like their saison profile show if you're thinking of making one next.

yeah, the brewing network is what you need.
Sunday Session - Has some interesting stuff on beer, but is also entertaining. It doesn't really have too much "how to" information. It's more of an entertainment show revolving around beer.
The Jamil Show (brew strong i believe) is very beer informative. But his voice will put you to sleep. I've tried to listen to several podcasts, and i've fallen asleep after each one.

I decided to brew a muscadine (scuppernongs really, but whatever) sour instead of a mead. I'm letting it sit on Lacto for two weeks before pitching brett.

I decided to just jack a recipe from NorthernBrewer instead of trying to create one of my own. I am going to brew their Rye Porter:
Malt:
7 lbs 2-Row
2 lbs Chocolate Rye
2 lbs Munich
1 lb Medium Crystal (40L)
.5 lb Black Malt
Hops:
Recipe calls for Nugget and Fuggle, so if I have those great. If not subbing some in. Don't plan on spending any new money on this beer.
.5 Nugget 60
1 Fuggle 30
1.5 Cascade 5
The recipe calls for oak chips and rye whiskey in the secondary, not sure if I will go this route or not.
Edited for stupidity.
