Currently in the fermenter

Just brewed my usual arrogant bastard clone. Two weeks ago I brewed my usual IPA and I throw the AB on top of the primary yeast cake of the IPA... usually explosive fermentation.

I also kegged my blueberry mead. Had about a 3/4 glass (16oz glass) of that as I always do and another glass of the IPA as I transferred to the secondary. I am riding a solid buzz on that shit. Damn.

ETA... and just to add proof to how buzzed I am I forgot to turn on the cold water to my counter flow chiller when I transferred the hot wort of the AB to the primary yeast cake of my IPA. FML.

Luckily its only 1/2 of the yeast killed as I do 10gal batches. I have to head to the store to get some liquid yeast to ferment the 1st 5 gal with.

Blueberry Buzz!!

That's the one thing I loved about dry yeast. US05 to the rescue!

I need to get brewing, but life has been hectic. I've had a 50lb sack of grain stashed in the corner of my foyer for 3 weeks, surprised my wife hasn't killed me yet. Maybe Monday morning. I have a feeling my last keg is getting ready to blow.

I'm looking to brew this weekend. I have a big pool party next week followed by relatives coming a few weeks later. I do have about 5 kegs now but I have to have some in reserve. I'll either do a Baltic Porter or experiment with the same grain bill and use Bananza yeast and try a Banana porter.

Banana Porter. Interesting.

Brewed today for the first time in five weeks. I don't remember the last time I went that long.......

I ended up using the auto siphon to pull some yeast from the bottom of the other fermenter after the first one cooled down.  Got an active fermentation going.  All is well.

Brewed something different. I used my regular grain bill for Baltic Porter but used Bananza yeast. A banana Porter? We'll see...

Just put a pack of Star Party on the stirplate. I hope it lives up to the description - never used it before. Went to the local homebrew shop to buy it and a bag of grain. First time I've been inside one in years.

here's the pdf of the recipe probably cheaper to make on your own

This recipe came out nice. A bit different than my go to Tripel but very good.

I didn't realize Star Party was available in homebrew size yet.  I'll definitely give it a try.

If Star Party is similar to Cosmic Punch, you might want to add a few ounces of hops to your mash. At least that's what I hear about Cosmic Punch.
