Cleaning kegs, kegging 20 gallons of Nut Brown, and prepping for 20 gallons of APA and 10 gallons Irish Red. Hopefully brew next Sunday if everything goes according to plan.

Just boiled my lacto-soured wort. The lactobacillus worked pretty slowly but the pH did come down to the mid 3's after ~80 hours. Pitching a healthy dose of Brett Lambicus for what I hope will be a fairly funky, fruity sour.
Enjoying: Black Sheep (Dark Farmhouse with Brett)
Fermenting: NZ Pale Ale, Orval Clone, Berliner Weisse, Brett APA
Planning: Old Rasputin Clone

How'd it smell pre-boil? What temp was it soured at?

Light citrus smell, wheaty (malt bill was 25% wheat), nothing off-putting. Taste was more of the same. Not bracingly sour but fairly tart. I had it at 38C.

"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.

After making my Imperial stout yesterday I decided to do a parti-gyle and ran another 2.5 gal of sparge through it, and put it in the fridge.

Today I boiled it with some East Kent Golding and put into 2 one gallon fermenters and pitched us04. One will get cocoa nibs in the secondary and the other nibs and mint. They should come out in the 4.4 abv range

Dry hopped my IPA with 5.5oz simcoe and 6.5oz columbus.

Also going to weigh out the grain for a 15 gallon batch of Berliner Weisse. This will be the first time I've done a 15 gallon batch with my BREWHA BIAC.

I'm brewing up and English Dark Mild with WLP037 Yorkshire Square Ale Yeast. Lots of mixed reviews on this yeast, should be interesting :cheers:

No, came with my setup, but would be super easy to make with a metal stamping set.
