Hey Fellas, happy Friday. Anything going on in the grain and hop department this weekend? I'm making a Belgian Amber in the morning, starting my stock up for the "cold weather"

Going camping, just a whole lot of drinking.

I don't have a recipe yet.  Probably 50/50  masa/2-row, ~25 IBUs and several cut up and bagged anchos.  Around 1.050, 1056

That sounds really good.

No brewing. I kegged the hefe last night and I'll be transferring to 5 gal kegs for the Oktberfest party tomorrow night. I'm bringing two dual tap kegerators to set up and 20 gallons of beer. 5 gallons each of Okterfest, Pilsner, Hefeweizen, and Duss Alt.

 

After that it will be time to so some maintenance on the brewery. I have some rsut forming in a couple of the kettles so I need to get in there with some acid compound and a polishing wheel and then re-passivate all the kettles. Also, I'm thinking about getting the herms set up as a keg washer. I have about 30 kegs to clean.

 

My final beer for the year will be a Doppelbock which I'll probably brew next month.

Hoppy Amber?

 

yessir.  everything went pretty smoothly.  got about 83% eff into the fermentor.  considering the hop absorption and dumping a little wort into the fermentor with sanitizer in it that's not bad!

Cool. Pic's when it's done. My semi-hoppy Amber is going to keg tomorrow. I have big hopes for this beer that match the big 8% abv.
