Self explanatory Consider adding to this discussion when you post "What are you brewing?"

Nothing this week, because my stocks are pretty high.

Just kegged an NZPA going on IPA, wanted to get a feel for some NZ hops since I've been using so much US stock lately.

Just dry hopped an IPA - for WBC and because they're tasty.

Fermenting a dry stout - so many hoppy beers lately wanted something that swung the other way a bit. And after a few pints of Guinness at a pub got me thinkin'.

Will be brewing a North English brown next weekend. The missus loved Newcastle when it was on tap at Thirsty Dog, so trying something that might take her fancy.

I have two IPAs on dry hop at the moment. Liberty IPA (not liberal IPA, Stu) which is the WBC one. The why is twofold, one: because I've been wanting to brew a nicely balanced example of a US IPA for a while now, and two, because conveniently, the WBC is a US IPA! I don't have high hopes for a result, but I do have high hopes that it will be a good beer.

The second IPA is a kiwi hopped variant on my old US IPA recipe. It's for a friend's party on September 20.

This morning, I brewed a best bitter, because it's a "bitsa" recipe I brewed recently from leftover malts I had lying around and 100% fuggles hops. It came out so amazingly good that I just had to brew it again. Slightly tweaked this time.

All these beers in the fermenters, and nothing on the bar. It's a hard life.

On Thursday I brewed a... um... something.
I had a whole bunch of 100EBC crystal, a big jar of washed weihenstephan lager yeast and some Saaz hops that all needed using soon.

So I threw together a brew that has a pale ale kinda grain bill and lager-y hops, yeast and ferment temperature.

Just something fun to try with what I had on hand.
