    Thought I'd start it off early since I am brewing today and twice on Saturday. The hops are in and I haven't brewed since early June, so the wife gave me a go ahead for 3 wet hop brews in a 3 day time frame.

    Starting off today with an American Red: MO, Vienna, CaraMunich 40 & 120, Kiln Amber, touch of Roast Barley, with a 12.5oz Chinook, 5.25oz Brewers Gold, and a small dose of AlphAroma and Shinsuwase. Should have a deep malt backbone blasted with Pine, Grapefruit, Resin, Black Currants, and a touch of floral perfume. 6.7% ABV, ~55 IBUs.

    Saturday I will be brewing up two batches, first, a White IPA with Pale Malt, Flaked Wheat, touch of Wheat Malt and Flaked Oats, 8oz Cascade, 6oz Chinook, 3.5oz Centennial, coriander, orange peel, and WY 3726 Farmhouse Ale yeast. 7% ABV, ~40IBUs.

    Saturday's second batch will be a big American Brown Ale, Pale Malt, C60, Chocolate Malt, Rauchmalt (Tumbler grain bill super sized), and 12oz Chinook, 4oz Cascade, WY 1469 West Yorkshire. Hoping for Tumbler with big pine and grapefruit, and a touch of peach from the yeast.

    If you can't already tell, I have a lot of Chinook! Got a bit of Cacades, lots of Chinook, some Fuggles, Santiam, and Brewers Gold drying in the backroom for the rest of the year too.

    How bout yall? What's brewin, bottlin, keggin, transferin, agin, sourin, cleanin, building, oakin, etc.?

    Finally my hops are ready for a wet hop IPA/APA(depending on how many pounds are ready). I am using my Half Acre Daisey Cutter grain bill. I think the wet hops will get me close to the grassy hop profile of Daisey Cutter even though my hops(Cascade, Centennial, Zues and Chinook) are not exactly what is used in Daisy Cutter.

    Not brewing... consuming. Holding a mini-fundraiser at my house for my wife's nonprofit, and serving 35+ gallons of everything I have in stock (Saisons, IPAs, Pale Ales, DIPA, Milk Stouts+) and a bottle share. Did the last of the brewing work today to set up.

    Kegging a wedding Simcoe/Citra/Amarillo IPA, and an American Blonde, to condition for bottling in 2 1/2 weeks.

    Secondary for a Chocolate Oatmeal Porter, moving it on some vanilla beans.

    Then I'm thinking about brewing something, but I have no idea what... I want to brew, but I don't want to drag all this shit out to do so.. Got an IPA on tap, a Summer Blonde on tap, a Breakfast Stout on tap, and an APA in bottles. Porter coming soon..

    Thinking about a nice easy drinking brown ale... But the other side of me wants to do a really large beer, that I can drink around Christmas. I'm just at a loss for what sounds good for the upcoming football season and cooler weather.

    Any suggestions? I can't lager, so thats out.

    Brewing on Monday, a simple IPA for a Halloween party (Northern Brewer's Dead Ringer, which someone purchased for me to brew). I'm playing with the hop schedule a bit, both to hop burst it a bit more and to avoid the "Centennial Type" Cascade/Columbus combo. Looking like Amarillo, Falconer's Flight 7Cs, and "real" Centennial for the latest of the late hops to make up the bill.

    Still undecided on brewing or not, I have to test out my fermentation chiller once more by cranking it all the way up and get it in it's permanent position. I have all the ingredients for three different beers, gotta make a starter tomorrow if I'm brewing Sunday.

    Still a little undecided but it is looking like an Amber with some toasted flaked oats, Pearle malt and some Munich with Bravo hops.

    Possibly a Black DIPA with Nugget and some dusted CarafaIII special added to the sparge.

    Or if it rains I will just sit on my ass.
