Riggwelter today, from Graham Wheeler's 3rd edition. Oakham Bishop's Farewell yesterday, my own recipe, and I've got a pile of recipes to choose from for tomorrow, I think I might go with my Bishop's Farewell recipe with all Lórien hops (instead of challenger and cascade) since I've got 100g to try and the flavour descriptors are so utterly naff.
"The feeling of a Summer meadow near a cold mountain stream". No mention of whether there's the five-day-old carcase of a dead cow upwind of said summer meadow so only one way to find out.

Got some catching up to do as its been too hot to brew since July.

That looks like my kind of IPA. Not a great fan of too much crystal malt and 4% looks about right, especially with a bit of Amber.

No I’m not doing a dry hop, the hop stand will do for me.

 

[Clint]

An early-ish start. Mrs Clint is now attending the Emporium and with little time to prep my gear for fishing I've decided to get a brew on. It #8 Tribute clone, as yet I haven't decided if I'll adjust the whirlpool addition.
I also got up to see the youngest off on his second day going out with a plumber friend..he starts college in September on a plumbing course so this will be "good" for him. He was very tired last night and like a rabbit in the headlights this morning bless him.

 

[AlDaviz]

Not today but a couple of weeks ago, an imperial stout, finished around 12%abv and I’ve added oak soaked whisky barrel staves for a month and including the bottle of malt. It’s a copy of brewdogs Islay paradox

 

[Red Raven Brewery]

I'm terrible for remembering to take pictures so here's the only one.

Today I brewed a blonde abbey style ale... affectionately named 'Blonde Abi' after my blonde girlfriend...Abi

 

[moto748]

Bit of a user-upper, based on pilgrimhudd's bitter recipe. (thanks!)

Aiming for roughly the same FG of 1049, which implies a BHE of around 66%:

For a 14 litre batch:

2940 g MO
70 g Special B
70 g CaraAroma
112 g Melanoidin
70 g Dark Crystal
35 g Choc Malt

11 g Challenger @60
18 g Styrian Goldings @-30
21 EKG @-15
35 g EKG Flameout.

Thinking S-04 for the yeast.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

23 litres of Munich Dunkel
OG 1050 BHE 70%
2800g Munich light
2000g Pilsner malt
200g Biscui malt
100g Chocolate malt
50g Carafa 3
9g Magnum & 10g Hersbrucker @60m
20g Hersbrucker @15m
M54 yeast

Golden Bitter, the fore runner to Golden Ale 100 gram of EKG at 60 minutes the only hop charge. OG of 1051 reached after temperature conversion from 1052. So clear into the fermenter almost a shame to mucky up the wort with the yeast.

 

[RoomWithABrew]

Original Thomas Hardy ale recipe from RonPattinsons blog and partigyled a 1.041 bitter as well.

Long day due to a few extra hurdles, but something to taste in few weeks and the rest in a few years.

 

[moto748]

Well the bitter seemed to go very well yesterday, ended up with 14.5 litres @ 1050, with a BHE of 70%. Good colour, and nice and clear too. Pitched this morning with S-04.

[SMP Brewery]

Had a go at another Golden Ale 21 l in the fermentor
95% Clear Choice Malt
5% Caraplis
Saaz in the boil @ then Bobek in the hop stand.
CML 5 yeast
Got some Bobek left over so will chuck that in the keg after it’s fermented and see what happens.

 

[Moorbs]

My first lager (Lowenbrau clone) and first pressure fermentation. I had to do it in 2 batches because my boiler hasn't arrived yet. I also made a copper wort cooler for it to speed up the double brew
