So apparently my next beer's going to be an oatmeal stout...

Man, I'm psyched to make that Hüll Melon hopped Pilsner... :blobcat_bongo:

Only two more weeks...

#homebrewing

The hop harvest is in and I completely forgot to take pictures... 😅

BUT

The wizard of the plants says that if I want more hop varieties planted, I should do that before the winter, so I'll probably spend the next few days pondering which two hops I'll pick from Ariana, Callista and Hallertau Blanc. 🤔

Squeezing the blackberry wine today.

So anyway, @trekkie3k and me are pondering what to brew for the winter that will be ready to drink until Christmas 🤔 So far we are at at Weizenbock, but that might be such an obvious winter beer it's a little uncreative 😅 #homebrewing

What I can tell you, is that it's quite boozy. Calculation said 5.5 ABV. Either I'm a lightweight today or this is a conservative estimate. @trekkie3k feels fine though, so it might be just me.

Got "Get the Golem" bottled today - two cases of an international dark lager that'll hopefully be drinkable in a week and a half or so... we'll see.

So, that "Bavarian IPA" we brewed 21 weeks ago. For reasons™ we opened the first bottle today. And I must say, it's very different from last year, when we gave it 7 weeks. The bitterness is really front and center now and the fruity hop aromas moved into the background. Very interesting result

The heat has hit my garden apple harvest this year. I usually get at least 10 litres of juice, but this year there was no more than 3.

I think an early lunch is in order before having a cycle with the trailer around some local foraging spots.

Bitter Norwegian pale ale 6%

Using 1ml of hop extract at 60 minutes produced way more than the 10 IBUs I was told it would. This beer is quite bitter. I mitigated it a bit by adding calcium chloride to the finished beer, but it's still fairly bitter. I am a bit concerned for the 10 gallons of lager that got 4 ml of the exact (it's still fermenting).

Brewing day! Making an english IPA ("What Ales You") while I have a chance, but we'll see what else interrupts while I'm doing so.

The bad part sometimes of homebrewing - I discovered that I clearly hadn't sorted grains right for the two brews I bought, since I mis-sorted a pound of Munich into the bin for the IPA... when it was intended for the international dark lager. Oops. Maybe that's why I missed my OG by a couple of points...

It'll still be find. RDWHAHB.

So... the 34/70 in my international dark lager took it up to 79F while fermenting (I have no temperature control) and we'll see how it turns out after it's ripped through all the sugar in literally 36 hours. I'll bottle that Monday.

On tap for Thursday night/Friday (I'm thinking of doing an overnight mash) - an English IPA I'm calling "What Ales You". I mean, it's an ale, so if it gets warm, not as big a deal, right?

The beauty of modern tech is I can monitor my beers remotely when they're fermenting.

The downside is this - Get the Golem is in my basement, while I'm out of town. I'm doing this lager for once "for real" with 34/70 (lager yeast), because it's supposedly tolerant of higher temperatures. I pitched it around 70F, and figured that'd be fine.

It's at FG after 48 hours... and rose during fermentation to nearly 79F.

I'm really kind of concerned it'll be an estery mess, but we'll see in a few weeks, right?

Peshastin Saison. This beer was fermented with wild yeast that I caught from Saskatoon berries I picked on a hiking trail near Peshastin, WA.

The beer is a little bit fruity and very faintly tart. There's a nice maltiness despite it being fairly dry. It's a good culture that makes good beer, but nothing major is standing out here. I guess I'm quite fortunate to be able to kind of dismiss perfectly fine wild yeast cultures now, LOL

Drinking a glass of Arnegard gong pale ale whilst I keg and dry hop said ale. The gong made quick work of the beer fermenting it down to 1.006 in less than a week.

Last year around this time, we harvested most of the hops.

Look at the measly cones on the Hüll Melon this year 😭

I hope this just means that the Hüll Melon behaves as it should and takes until September to be ready for the harvest. But the wizard of the plants believes that the plants got damaged during those absurd heat waves.

Climate change sucks!

#homebrewing #gardening

Brew day! It feels like it's been so long since I've actually gotten something done in this regard and... well, it's been so long.

Today's batch is Get the Golem, an international dark lager (BJCP category 2C), and we're trying this one with actual lager yeast instead of kveik for once.

Cross your fingers!

@afg Is this a #homebrewing challenge? 😁
