Did my first All Grain today. It was a Coffee Malt Stout. Went fairly smooth. Had a stuck sparge so that sucked. Other than that I hit my numbers close enough to be satisfied.

Ya see yourself get shot.
Isn't homebrewing illegal in your state?
Looked like a good day to brew. I'll have to get everything out and brew a couple this week for the upcoming Oktoberfest.

Just poured up my first glass of Double Chocolate. It's good! A little under-carbed (opened it early) but is still very good.

Great labels, Chris! I can't stop laughing...
You add 'baditude' to your mash? Nice. I'm not sure about the outdoor mashing though...
Dude... That's AWESOME!!
You should create a whole line of "Monster Brews"

What sizes is your wort chiller and where did you get it. I need one.
I am so in the mood to brew. Today's schedule includes my Irish Red Rye. Next week will be a Roggen and the following will be an Osidian Stout clone.

Going out of business sale. Really cheap stuff. Picked up 2 more primarys and a ported carboy.
Just opened up my first Oatmeal Stout. Probably my favorite.
Hope your ready, WOXOF.
Man, this is a fun hobby.
Oh I'm ready. Bring a straw for your sensitive gums.
It's not good to laugh that hard in the morning.
Fortunately Chris didn't bring a straw or those ridiculous shorts. He did bring some good beer and "forgot" to take it home with him. Not only did he leave me with some of his home brews, but left a few good micros to keep them company. Thanks for the brew man. I can't wait to pop the top on the Double Choc. Stout.
I pitched on top of a yeast cake for the first time last night. That pretty much just means I re-used the yeast from a previous batch. I emptied the Robust Porter from my Primary then poured what I just finished brewing on top of the sediment on the bottom.
Very active fermentation.

This is my first recipe. It's a Coffee Stout with Chicory. Thinking about calling it Coffeeweed which is another name for chicory, plus it's got coffee in it so it's a 2fer. I'll post up the recipe if it turns out.
