Kegging my winter warmer this weekend and brewing a bold american stout on sunday.  Lots of dark stuff and lots of hops  :rock:

Took apart my grain mill, cleaned and greased the bearings. Rollers are still slipping unfortunately.

Also brewed a brett IPA with amalgamation. Kohatu and Vic Secret hops.

Tested the pressure canner, made a few cans of wort.  :cheers:
Give a man a beer and he'll waste an hour, teach him how to brew beer and he'll waste a lifetime.

Bottled a berliner weisse I had aging on blackberries and brett for three months. Also prepped bottles for my first Flanders red I'll be packaging tomorrow.

Tasted some sours before bottling or blending.  Covered Bridge is the palate cleanser lol

That is badass @jamie_savoie ! That's all the motivation I need to keep brewing sours, especially now that I'm bottling my first flanders. What are you using as a base for the dark sour? I was going to re brew a flanders again but that sounds interesting!

Damn! That is ambitious, I have much to learn.

Brewing a coffee stout. Adding espresso beans to the mash as well as some cold steeped espresso at kegging.

I've been wanting to do a coffee stout for a while. Might pick your brain on the weekend

I'm no expert but of course, I always love to talk beer.

if you want to add a coffee aroma I suggest "dry beaning".  From my experience, cold steeping at kegging is the way to go ;)
