Anyone getting one last brew in before the end of the year?

[fury_tea]

I'm off work this week so planned a beer at some point before the end of the year. A kind of "good bye to 2020" brew. I have an almost 4 week old little one so having to split the brew over a couple of days so today is planning, crushing grain, treating water, setting everything else up then tomorrow I can brew early morning and leave it in the keg before I

My brew fridge is still taken up by Christmas left-overs and new years eve food so was thinking something like a lager that can ferment in my garage, but I don't have any lager yeast so would have to use Nottingham.

I could do a 100% MO extra pale pseudo lager or I also have all the stuff for my killer Baltic porter recipe sans lager yeast. I guess a "pseudo Baltic porter" is just a porter!

I need to order some dried lager yeast.

Anyway, anyone else got anything planned?

I am! Just cleaning out the brew fridge of leftovers and weighing grain now. Planning an early start tomorrow with an American Wheat. 50-50 Wheat and Pale Malts with a few % Carapils. Columbus hops and trying out K97 yeast.

Brewed a Belgian Quadrupel yesterday, that'll require some attention before the years out.

I’ve squeezed quite a bit in recently wanting to restock before the year-end. My last brew of the year gets kegged tomorrow, a plum porter - just in time.

Merry Christmas! ☃

I did my last AG of the year yesterday, an AIPA, I'll probably be doing a JIPA kit tomorrow.

Just waiting for my batch of stout to cool to pitching temp.

Might try to sling in a Czech Pilsner tomorrow.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Hopefully tomorrow use up my grain and place an order for more

 

[Oneflewover]

Just about to start the boil for a dopplebock.....had a few mishaps so far, not least that my mill jammed up as I was crushing the grain

If I can get a morning or afternoon's peace tomorrow, I'll get one of my small batch AG kits from Oak Homebrew in my new stock pot. Doubt it very much though Might need to be a new year brew.

Did my last brew of the year yesterday, i was thinking of doing another tomorrow but decided against it. Will be hoping to do a Cali common next week though?

Did 20 litres yesterday and having a good think about what to do tomorrow. I think I fancy a mild.

 

[Drunkula]

I think I fancy a mild.

I really fancy a mild but I always have this crazy niggle and think "I'm putting in the same effort as a real beer here." So I might make a stronger version, account for bitterness then water it down to 30 litres. Sort of like the macros do with their pish. I'd never thought about doing it until just now.

My last brew of the year is bubbling away, a clone of Wye Valley HPA: I had some extra-light malt to use up and it's a very pale beer.

I won't say this very often but I've got too much beer: my garage storage is full to capacity (6 crates), my beer fridge is full, and so are my kegs. About 170 pints I reckon. Gonna have to get stuck into it to free up some space!
