Sunday Brewing...

I finally got to brewing on Sunday! I brewed 13 gallons of Suicide Blonde Ale and have given the conical it's first run! I overshot my gravity by two points (1.052) and already have a vigorous fermentation going. After primary, 3 gallons will be racked on to 4 different varieties of hot peppers for the "Fire-Eyed Blonde" for my dad...he likes the spicy stuff!

Thinking about using the yeast from the Blonde to make a nice, big American Barleywine...more on that later!

Holding off...

I think I am just going to hold off until this weekend to brew. I keep getting sidetracked with other things going on (house and golf mostly) and haven't gotten to get things set up for brewing. I will take this weekend for myself and brew up some beer!

At least I sure hope so...

Here is what I am planning for this weekends brewing:

13 Gallons of Suicide Blonde Ale (3 Gallons to be turned into the Fire-Eyed Blonde)

and if time allows...

5 Gallons of one of the following:

Pacman Stout
Special X ESB
Meditation Ale
Highland 70/-

Not again...

It would appear that the house is going to take over my "spare time" for a few more days (or a week). I didn't get to grind grain last night, won't be brewing tonight and there is a good chance that I won't get to until (at the earliest) Wednesday. I am hoping for a weekend of good weather so I can perhaps brew both Saturday and Sunday to get a couple more brews off my "backlog".

I will keep you all posted on my progress...

Scheduling Sucks...

So, due to other things coming up on Friday - along with the wind - I didn't brew on Friday. Was going to try and brew today, but we have family coming over which requires me to prep the house since Crystal is working...no brewing again.

My plan is this...I am going to grind grains today and hopefully brew on Monday night. No promises that I will, but that is what I am going to TRY and do!
