What's your next brew

Thanks buddy!
My back is doing pretty well, and use Co2 or a pump to push beer around. When I fill kegs I have them on a wheeled cart that I built at the perfect height that I can just slide them into my keg fridge
 
I've been away from the heat for the summer and just got back home this last weekend. Since I haven't brewed since the spring, the taps are running dry.
The weather forecast is showing slightly cooler for Sunday and Monday so I'm going to try to take advantage and put down a couple of batches, to get my pipeline flowing again.

I figured on Sunday I'd do a 10 gallon batch and split it out for the Q3 Golden Ale and a more traditional British Golden Ale. I think if I brew the whole batch with Magnum for most of the bittering I can pull off half at flameout and throw a bunch of Willamette into it right out of the boil pot and get a reasonable British pub beer. Leaving the other half in the boil pot for a 5 minute addition and whirlpool, I can run all the Simcoe, Citra and CTZ from the Q3 recipe and load up the PNW hop flavors. I'll definitely ferment the Q3 with Chico (I have a brick of the Apex San Diego) but I think I'll throw some S04 or Notty at the British side of the split.

If everything goes well (it almost never does on the first brew after a hiatus :D ), I'll double down on Monday and put a 10-15 gallon batch of my Corn Star Cream Ale into my big fermenter. It'll be nice to have a keg or 3 of a good basic beer in the coolers while I'm working on some more complex recipes. :)
