I brewed another beer today...

[azasadny]

It was cold and cloudy, so I brewed a 6 gallon batch of cherry wheat (my neighbors and family loves it). Here are a few pics. I couldn't find the camera, so I just used the iPhone...

I've been brewing a lot lately. Just had the last pint of an imperial IPA I brewed in July. Currently have a Belgian Tripel aging in the keg and a barleywine in the fermentor. Not sure what I'm brewing next, but I can bet it will be another high gravity beer! God bless homebrew and homebrewers!!!

[azasadny]

Nice brewing rigs, guys!!

[enzo1]

yeah, that's serious stuff... drank home brewed beer wasn't too good... harsh. Don't think he was doing it right, but u guys look like u know what ur doing...

Everyone seemed to like the "Imperial Porter" I brewed earlier this summer. I still have some in a keg in the garage reefer, but I wanted to brew a cherry wheat for those who don't care for the heavier beers.

Homebrew is seriously on the rise. I know a number of people just at work who also brew. I've got a citrusy Belgian almost ready to drink, and an espresso chocolate oak-aged stout that'll be ready in November. I'm ready for the next round of cider, just waiting for apples to come ripe!

I've been brewing for more than 15 years and I've brewed over 104 batches, mostly all grain. I've just restarted the hobby but I can't have alcohol (liver ailment), so I brew beer for others. I'll brew a mead this fall and I'm looking forward to that.

[azasadny]

The yeast isn't working, so I'll have to stop by the brewing shop and pick up another pack.... Good thing the shop is close to home!

[azasadny]

Fermenting away... The yeast really got going after I took this picture...

I used to homebrew but haven't in about 5 years. There used to be a great supplier near me but he's since gone out of business. Where do you guys get your stuff? I also need to get a wort chiller, last batch I brewed it was a pain getting the temperature down to pitch the yeast.

[azasadny]

I support our local shop but before that opened, I used Williams Brewing (on the Internet) and was never disappointed. It's much more convenient to have a local shop!

Looks like we have similar taste in drinks.

Guinness Extra Stout.

I also have been on a Malbec kick , but still like anything Sangiovese best or with it in it as a blend.

[azasadny]

The garage smells great! The yeast is working hard and I may be able to keg the beer this weekend.

It looks more complicatwd than it is. After boiling the brew, i put in 50ft of coiled copper and run cold water through and hot water that exits goes into the pool so as not to waste it. After cooling it down, the spigotcis opened and the liquid flows into the fermenter where the yeast is added. In this beer, 3 lbs of canned cherry puree also go into the fermenter. It's so easy even I can do it!
