What did you brew this weekend?

[briankettering]

After spending most of the day Saturday tasting a wide range of amazing meads and wines (as well as a marvelous raspberry vinegar), I spent all of Sunday brewing.

I put together a 5 gallon batch of cider using five gallons of different types of apple juice, a 5 gallon all-grain sweet stout, a gallon of lemon wine, and a gallon of fermented apricots.

What did you brew this weekend?

On Sunday, two gallons of apricot wine. Am now looking for a recipe for apricot melomel. Peach melomel planned for later today.

A busy weekend of brewing... though more brew chores than actual brewing. Let's see, over the course of the weekend I brewed a 5 gallon batch of Belgian Trippel ale and 1 gallon of Joe's Quick Grape Mead. I also racked my 5 gallons of Orange Blossom mead onto its second layer of oak, racked a 1 gallon batch of Oskaar's Spicey Cyser (man I'm already regretting not brewing a bigger batch), racked a 1 gallon batch of mead onto 2.2 lbs of raspberries. Also need to rack 2 more 1 gallon batches today (a spiced currant mead and a date mead).

Also (now that I'm loaded down on honey) some traditional meads in the works: Huajillo, Avocado, Sage blossom. Love is all you mead.

More tending than brewing this weekend. Racked my IPA into secondary, and my 1 gallon tester mead (will be almond eventually).

Was going to do another batch of my Gigalo Elf Oatmeal Stout on Sunday, but it turned into a lazy play-EQ2-in-my-housecoat day The stout'll happen Tuesday or Thursday this week.

Brewbear,

I used to live in Lake Arrowhead, always loved the trip over to Big Bear. Haven't been there since '87 is it still an ultra small town or has it built up to mini city? There was a furniture store there with wonderful hand crafted natural wood furniture... looked like it came right out of the forest instead of out of a lumber mill. Is it still there do you know?

Big Bear is building up. I usually end up in Fawnskin (I know a couple of girls who have a nice place there) and watch the eagles fish over at the little picnic area in between Fawnskin and Big Bear.

Cheers,

Oskaar

Big Bear is getting...well...BIG. The lake is back to normal, or at least close to it, the rain last winter helped. There are a few furniture shops now, but pricey :'(
