#brewday has commenced with my son doing all the heavy lifting and me barking orders. We're making a New Belgium Springboard clone. Waiting for the mash water to heat up.

Draining wort into the Moscato wine pomace for this winey blonde ale. Loads of Hallertauer Blanc at the end of boil. Gonna ferment with Escarpment/Lallemand Pomona yeast and see what happens.
Milling the grain for my brew day today. Brewing an IPA (rare for me) and a Moscato pomace blonde ale.
Time to celebrate the #BrewDay with a special #cocktail that's only available on such days. The Hot Scotchy is made by mixing scotch with fresh wort (unfermented #beer). Ratio is up to you, here I've got about 5:1 wort to scotch.
Some people claim this creates an approximation of what your finished beer will taste like, but I've never found that to be true. It's especially untrue when you use sweet wort (wort before hops are added to it) which is what I'm drinking here.
Wild yeasties are all happy this morning and ready for the brew day! Hive came from my bee hive (comb, honey and bees). GrandDad came from juniper berries my wife snagged at Granddad's Bluff in LaCrosse, WI. The unlabeled is my 'abbey' culture that originally I caught from my neighbor's raw honey back in 2013.
I'll be brewing a Honey Tripel (thanks to all who voted in the poll!) for the abbey, and Saison for the two new recruits.
Another #brewday done. 35l of IPA in the fermenters, and everything cleaned and tidied away.
Fiona the brewcat making sure her subjects do it correctly 😂
It’s one of those “I want to brew something but don’t have a specific plan so I’ll use up some of the random leftovers sitting around and make a pale ale” kinda brew days.

Today is #brewday and we're busy boiling, sparging and pitching our American Pale Ale KAPOW. A favourite of ours, it hasn't been on the taps since last October and it should be back on before the end of the month.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, prepping continues apace for the return of our full brunch and evening menu tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. We're open from 11am tomorrow with plenty of hot coffee and pastries to warm frostbitten fingers.
First #homebrew #brewday in way too long. Today I'm #homebrewing a Belgian Witbier, half of which I'll infuse with #homegrown raspberries. It's my Xmas beer.
Finally a #brewday. It's been 2 years, 9 months, 23 days since I've last brewed a #beer. I'm ready to get back into #homebrewing
#brewday today. Currently mashing my second attempt at my pilsner. This time will hopefully be better as I can now control the temperature during fermentation a lot better.
Sadly my last one of these and there are no more. Guess I’ll need to brew a Rauchbier myself.
Really sad that Zeelandt shut down, but Chris was wiped out with the floods and I can see why restarting was just too much.
Long day of triple decoction with this Pilsner Urquell brew. Beer needed for sustenance.
Everyone loves a #FermentationFriday 👍
A Merlot, a Blueberry Mead, a Chilli Mead, two mason jars of kefir, and two wholemeal loaves made with the residual lager yeast from the last #Brewday

What day is it today I hear you ask? Why, all the coolkids know it's #Brewday !
A Coopers pilsner, and two basic meads made up today. Judging by the yeast hanging in suspension, I didn't mix them very well. Oh well it'll all come good in the end :)
