If you have a ping list, please add me. I’m a somewhat rehabilitated competition home brewer and have the only working vineyard (muscadines) on the block.

I was just went through my records and found I cannot legally say how much I brewed this year.

I intend to brew 40 gallons additionally by the end of the year.

The recipes I have made this year are;

One Budweiser clone

Three 85% wheat beers.

Three blond ales.

5 pale ales.

One brown ale.

One Octoberfest.

One rye pale ale

One red ale.

One stout.

15 gallons of cider

I need more hops in my life obviously.

I want to make the coffe chocolate stout I made a month ago but don’t have one of the malts. Grrrrrrr. I guess I will fudge it and make something brownish. I am for SURE making something, anything, that is over 60 IBU. I have been jonesing for a nice hoppy beer and the cooler weather is just begging for it.

This is inaugural run of the new 2 pump system, this ought to be interesting. I’m hoping the increased efficiency of the system will shorten my brew day from the current 8-9 hours for 20 gallons to 7-8. Anything will be welcome however.

Cheers,

I was in the Philippines in 1968-69-70. The local beer was San Miguel, before the brewer began pasteurizing it.

Does anyone have a recipe for brewing that marvelous stuff? It was truly the nectar of the Gods.

Tonight - this night - was the end of the sixth full day of fermentation of my cider. I poured off one gallon into a settling jar and will start bottling tomorrow.

It is still bubbling fairly well, so I should get good carbonation.

What impresses me the most this time is the Safale 04 yeast!
XLENT results! Minor foaming at the top, good, even very good flocculation, cider is still smelling fruity, NO STINKFOOT!!

After bottling, it should settle nice and clear!

YUM!!! Can’t wait!
