Last Brew of 2023

[Over The Cliff Brewing]

What is/will be your last brew of 2023? I'm going to try and get a partial mash pilsner done next week.

The last one we put in a tank was a Cold IPA.
I'm not planning anything for next week as of yet, just end of year housekeeping.
I always brew on New Years Day though to start the year off right!
Cheers and Happy Holidays to you all!

It's between a best bitter and a user upper.

 

[Zambi]

I'm not sure
I may do a speciale Belge, but with Voss
Or maybe a saison, if the temperatures look like dropping

I brewed an English bitter last weekend, and I am planning to brew a west cost style IPA on January 1st. For the past few years I've been doing a brew on the first day of the year, or as I now call it, Brew Year's Day.

I will be brewing Ben's Bunyip 2.0 next Saturday. It will only be the 5th brew day of 2023, so the weather and life in general better cooperate!

Probably brewed my last of 2023 (A bitter) on Monday. New Year’s Day is a possibility though.

I suddenly decided I might try a replica of one of my first beers.
That one ended at about 3% due to too coarse milling and other issues. But it tasted good, like a Vedett 2.7
Will be fun to see if I can get this done with proper milling. Gotta go through my notes again

I brewed a brown porter. Gave samples to several non-brewing friends, and I'll be interested in their feedback.

If my back feels up to it the answer will be an ESB.
If not, my most recent brew a West coast IPA will have been it.

Squeezed in a last SMASH Pils on the 20th. I was hoping to do a decoction mash for the first time ever, but work got in the way.
By the time I was out of my (virtual) meeting it was time to läuter...
At least I know, even though the beer might not be different, it will be drinkable.

Going to try tho squeeze in a batch of Shady Bohemian next weekend.

Yesterday I got grains to brew Red Wheat for Winter (thanks for the inspiration @Megary ), which should be brewed on Tuesday. I can’t foresee any other beers being brewed before the year is out, but there is certainly the prospect of a simple cider.

 

[The Brew Mentor]

Well, one more for me, Brewing a Helles today.
Has a Cream Ale planned for Friday, but my brewer unfortunately has a burial service to attend and I'll be solo, so that's a no go.
Happy New Year!
Cheers,
Brian

Brewed my low alcohol IPA.

Touched the wort with my hand just before pouring into the fermenter.
I was trying to prevent the hop thingy from falling over in the wort. Not a smart move.
I added more yeast than usual, hoping on quick start of the fermentation.
Fingers crossed

 

[Craigerrr]

ESB is mashing now, pretty pleased to have done 10 batches this year all things considered

 

[Sunfire96]

Baltic Porter brewed today, pale ale planned for Sunday

About 15 minutes left on the mash...

I brewed Ben's Bunyip2.0 today. It was a beautiful sunny 43°F day. Moderate winds led to a little more boil-off than normal. OG was 3 points high. To mimic Ben's no-chill I did a 30 minute hop-stand, starting at flame-out. There were were so many hops that the drain port plugged. I had to lift the kettle and pour the final 2 gallons into the fermenter. I had to stop 3 times to clear the hops from the double-mesh strainer! This is the first time I've brewed with Talus hops. Definitely a floral and fruit aroma to the hop pellets. Interested to see how they taste in the final beer.
