that Belgian saison of mine (originally stalled with 3724) sneakily finished out after pitching a pack of Belle Saison... Went from 20.9ºP to 1.012, = 10.5% ABV.... honestly could have used a dry hop, good hop front, all liquor on the back end.

Bottled it tonight too, probably need to let it condition for a while, let it mellow out.
 
Brewed my bohimian floor malted pilsner decocted for 30min. Great extraction and efficiency ended up near spot on target. I added a flame out hop stand for 10 mins ti get some aroma on this one. boiled 90min it just goes to show that decocting and boiling long dont change wort color much. See below happy with my mid week brew arvo:) next up benmarzin...

On my way to work right now and in a hurry to finish , get home and brew the sMaSh beer for club .
Free 5 kg sack of gladfield pils malt , pacifica hops and gigayeast norcal 1 .
Won't really fit any style but with a Hochkurz mash I should be able to get decent body and head retention out of such highly modified malt .
Will post results in 10 ish hours

I didn't step mash. Missed my numbers a bit. Brand new kettle so trying to dial it in.

Oh new toy! Electric too eh? I bet boil off was different. Ah i think fermentation is the important part anyhow:).

More important than boil rate in any case.

Sounds good. Last time I got a free beer kit it was a kit the LHBS wanted to test.

New brew kettle so I could do 3 gallon batches. Was doing 2 gallon batches but 2 just isn't enough. It is electric as was my last kettle. I am using CraftBeerPi to control it. Fun little project.

I boiled some water for an hour before brewing to get my boil off rate.;)
 
Did my Helles for Oktoberfest yesterday, perking away this morning. Next up: I want to do a Munich-style Dunkel with 25% corn and American malt, in other words, mimicking a Mexican Dunkel I had while in Texas last week.

We had to make some recipe adjustments because of better hop utilization, conversion, etc. but all in all the process is exactly the same. I work in process and procedure and brewing becomes an excellent example of the difference between the two: There's no difference between what we do and what the biggest breweries on the planet do, it's just how we do it.

Except my beer isn't adjunct laden and full of DMS like some

There is that; however, I'd call my Ky Common fairly adjunct laden: Flaked maize, flaked rye, molasses.... My point isn't the product - I generally don't drink it, either. My point is the process is the same, it's how the process steps are executed that is different.
