What's everyone brewing?
I just finished up a milk stout. Got a little better efficiency than usual, so it turned out 5 points higher than expected.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
I put up an ESB made with Halcyon base.
I too got a bit better efficiency that normal. Must have been something in the air.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
That sounds good. Let us know if you think that base malt does anything different for taste.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Unfortunately, just a Cream Ale as favour for a buddy who gave me two cornelius kegs. He wanted Keiths IPA, so I figured a light hybrid ale with lots of adjunct and low hop presence (waving a bag of hops across the top of the kettle ) would be close. It sure was cheap to make though!

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Brewed up some Pilsner and a Rauchbier.
"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 making this weekend?
I made mine last weekend. Hope it's working alright - had to throw it in the secondary a little early to catch a plane for Florida.

Last time I was there I had really good luck finding great brews at Big C Liquors on Winter Park, and Knightly Spirits. I was surprised by the excellent beer selection.

I am going to try to clone a Baltika Wheat Ale. It is one of my favorite beers of all time. I can't get it here in Nova Scotia, so I guess I will have to make it.

Hope it goes well, and if you have success, hope you feel like sharing the recipe, cuz if you can't get it here, neither can we

I picked up a bottle of Cigar City Humidor Series IPA last time I was there. It was aged in Cedar. I wish I had picked up more, it was fantastic.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
I did a Stella Artois clone on request for a buddy of mine. Its not something I would have chosen to do for myself, but I do what I can to foster intrest in homebrewing in others
Hit my numbers right on and had great efficiency (86% into the kettle), so he makes a good assistant brewer!
