Re: What's everyone brewing?
Made an IPA on Saturday and a Pale ale on Sunday
"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.

Re: What's everyone brewing?
Made an ordinary bitter today but I threw in a mixed bag of hops (UK+American) that I had in the freezer. I tried out full volume mash for time savings. It worked. I went from 5 to 3hrs for a 5 gal batch.
I've been having issues with low mash efficiency lately. I figured it was my grain mill gap but I have not gotten around to checking it. I checked today and I was correct; it was well above 0.045" for some reason. I re-gapped it to 0.040" and mash efficiency went from a typical 69%-72% to 87%. I thought doing a no rinse, full volume mash would result in a mash efficiency in around 75% so I was surprised to have that large of a jump.

Re: What's everyone brewing?
Everyone is on an English bitter kick, it seems. I brewed a bitter 3 weeks ago.
Yesterday I threw together what I guess would be best described as a simple blonde. I've been making lots of heavier stuff lately and I've been in the mood for something light and simple.

Re: What's everyone brewing?
Two gallons of raspberry honey mead bubbling away. Will likely add a few pounds of raspberries in a secondary. That raspberry honey tastes great.

Gone from 1.100 to 1.040 in three days. Not too shabby. Time for some raspberries.

Re: What's everyone brewing?
Brewed up the final of my Westvleteren series today, a Westy 8. I still have some top cropped yeast left so I may put on a tripel with that yeast given they get their yeast from Westmalle, my favourite tripel.

Re: What's everyone brewing?
Just finished a week's worth of brewing.
Day 1 brought 28 gallons of mostly Bohemian Pilsner, a bit of Munich, 4 pounds of German and Czech hops, fermenting on M44.
Day 2 brought 25 gallons of mostly 2 row, some crystal 30, 90 IBU's worth of hops, fermenting on M07.
Day 3 brought 10 gallons of Baltic Porter and 10 gallons of Imperial Stout, both fermenting on M10.
Day 4 was a cleanup day from the inherent boil-overs of the day before - 15-gallon pots and high gravity are not friends.
Day 5 ended with 28 gallons of half/half wheat and 2 row, orange and coriander, East Kent hops and fermenting on WB06.
The kids are sitting at 19 C bubbling away.
Who's up for a grain buy, lol.

Re: What's everyone brewing?
I used M44 for the first time this weekend on an IPA in the 1.062 range. Yeast nutrient and servomyces in the boil, but no oxygenation and no rehydration. Pitched two packets at 23°C Saturday afternoon at 1630h. By Sunday morning it was down around 17°C, which probably isn't optimal, but any other yeast (US-05, various liquid strains) probably wouldn't care much. I was just starting to see reasonable bubbling in my blowoff this morning as I left for work.
The internet says it's got a reputation for bad lag but I was still hoping it wouldn't happen to me (that's part of the reason I pitched two packets). Have you experienced the lag with that yeast? If so have you found mitigations for it or do you just accept that's the way it is?

Re: What's everyone brewing?
I do similar to you, pitch directly into wort during transfer into the fermenter. Transfer temp was 25C and a pitching rate at 70 g/hl (as indicated for the 1068 OG). I haven't had any issues with the M44, the yeast was going great guns the next morning and the fermenter temperature had come down to 20 to 21 C, without cooling just by sitting in a 19C room.
