Chalmers and I are brewing up a wake and bake oatmeal stout clone tonight :cheers:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Well since by brewery is still not done, and I AM ALL OUT OF HOMEBREW (there is no crying emoticon?), I was forced to put up a Festa Brew pale ale :oops: . I got 2oz of cascade hops to dry hop with after the bulk of the fermentation is done. On the bright side I finished my fermentation chamber so at least the temperature is controlled.

With the kids back in school :D it's time to get back to brewing.
Brewed a Ginger Witbier yesterday and it's fermenting nicely this morning. I'm using starters now and it's great to see the wort take-off so quickly. (no more long lag times!)

LD and I are brewing a Fresh Hop Pale Ale tonight, and then a Pumpkin Ale and either Hopuard clone or Nut Brown tomorrow at Broadholme. Need to restock after a long weekend if drinking and diving (scuba) in Cape Breton.

Brewing something on Monday night with the Gambrinus ESB malt from the last order. I guess it will be some kind of bitterish thing...

We ended up brewing a Hopyard clone and Pumpkin ale at the Broadholme brewery, and then a fresh hop beer with over a pound of fresh hops per batch back at LD's brewery. 3 batches of beer in a day, feels like work!

Not much to do at the cabin in between dives except for drink. But I think these 3 will keep me stocked for a bit.
Well, I say that now...

Since I couldn't make it down for Hoptoberfest, I figured a brew day was the next best thing. Closing in on the last 15 minutes of the boil for a mostly Cascade IPA.
