Is there anyone brewing anymore?

I don't often get the time but this weekend is it!

Going to try to make something like Innis & Gunn oaked aged ale.
All of my oaked beers have been Stouts or Porters so I have been wanting to try something lighter.

Summer doesnt go with melba and Amarillo, but it could work. Never worry about that too much myself. I'd use most of it late, all of it late actually.

I get to taste my first melba brew tomorrow hopefully. Really should use my summer flowers next.

I've done some interesting beers lately.


brewed an "APA" last month that I added roasted barley to, ended up a light bodied stout really and was amazing the first three weeks in the keg with the american hops, it then mellowed out to a tasty dark ale.

finally brewed out an altbier I had in a cube for 4 months, just maturing in a keg now. brewed with 1007 yeast.

threw another APA down with slurry of the 1007.

cooked up a smoked APA last night (twisted the daylights out of the roast barley apa recipe)

my first stout is going to be put in a cube in about ten minutes


fun times since I set up my brew rig in the laundry permanently, makes it much easier slap down a quick brew.

After using a drill to power my mill for the last couple of years, I went back to hand milling on my original MillMaster. I'll be doing that in future, as the slower hand milling doesn't tear the husks and makes for much easier run off and sparge. I batch sparge, and once I'd set the bed, I could run it off as fast as it would go. Probably saved myself about 45 minutes on the day compared to what I had been experiencing. All I had to do was to cut the top of the mash to allow it to run off properly.
