On another note, I made a recipe for a pumpkin spice latte stout that I'm hoping to brew next week. It's expected to be 8% using chico yeast. I'd like to serve it at Ullrfest on 10/21. Can it be done?

I bottle all my cider to cellar it for aging, I have bottles that are 7 years old and when most people drink it they think it is cham pag ne.

I bottled my first batch last night. Took a gravity reading on Friday and yesterday and they were the same, so figured no reason to wait any longer.
I've been thinking about brewing an Anchor Steam/California Common next. It seems that Anchor uses 100% Northern Brewer hops, but this seems a little boring and I see no reason to simply clone a commercial beer. So what I'm thinking is using NB as the bittering hops and then something else for aroma. Perhaps Mosaic or Simcoe. Any other suggestions?

What is your favorite hops?

Like Scotty said, it depends on what you want to achieve with the beer. The piney Simcoe might be nice in small quantities, but could end up pretty oniony if it's your only flavor/aroma addition. Mosaic, like Citra, is something you could definitely throw in for aroma. Sounds like you want something more like an IPA, but you could take it any direction. Maybe use something a little more new/exotic like Southern Cross, Mandarina Bavaria, Tripleperle, or Sorachi Ace. Just depends on what you are going for and play around with. The Anchor Steam malt profile lends itself to a wide range of options depending on your preference.

Got a Mark II keg and carboy washer today, put it thru the paces by washing 12 kegs. Used a total of one gallon of water and an ounce of PBW to clean them all. Wish I had got one of these before. Highly recommended.
Also got a Belgian Quad and Sip of Sunshine clone kits.watch out for snakes

What the hell are you doing with 12 kegs? I finally reached my goal of 4 on tap and can't grasp the amount of beer I need to drink! On top of that I have one that's dedicated to starsan and one that's waiting for my next brew. I'm at half of you and feel overwhelmed. I have 4 more that I just ordered gasket kits for so I can sell em and get em out of my way! Can't imagine keeping 12 busy.

Tonight I'm enjoying my Saison which is modeled (kinda) after the Saison that won gold at GABF this year. Not saying mine is as good as funkworks but fuck me it's delicious.

I pressed another 3 1/2 gallons of cider this evening, which brings the season total up to just under 20 gallons. Some is bubbling away and the rest is in the freezer.
Sparkling cider is so good.

My pumpkin spice latte stout went over pretty well at Ullrfest (empty keg is a good sign) so I brewed up another batch.
That’ll work.
Time to enjoy a Tank 7 “clone” I bottled a month ago on a “we don’t need no stinking beer gun” beer gun. Still has plenty of carb. No need to buy that fancy Blichman, Scotty.

Yeah, I could just continue to wait 4-5 days for my kegs to carb. The quick carb is pricey like all their products but they are well made and designed.
I like a spiced cider more than a spiced beer. Kudos on your PS beer and an empty keg is a good result.watch out for snakes

I kept the keg for ullrfest on 30psi for 2 days, then tossed it in the kegerator to chill to serving temp and then put it back gas on for 12 hours. It was carbed perfectly.
You can carb a keg in 3 hours (at least enough to start serving) if you crank it up to 40-50psi and roll it around for 20 minutes or so each hour. It’s not a great solution but if you are really desperate....
