I am doing a Coffee Porter right now.
Yesterday I cold pressed 2 cups of coarse grind Starbucks Italian Roast and added the coffee to secondary. Smelled amazing!!!

Yea. I had a couple of 6 gallon carboys and a 7.5 gallon SS pot a while back taking up space ( I hadn't brewed in a few years) in the garage, so I passed them on to an at the time co-worker who was into brewing. He left the company and has dropped out of sight since.
One day...

Doing a Lost Abbey Cuvee de Tomme (sp?) clone this weekend. I've got a Saison going now, and a Christmas Spiced(lightly) beer, and sort of an Imperial Brown Ale as well (it was an Imperial Stout Recipe that I cut back on the roasted grains a bit).

I was planning an English IPA for this weekend, but my malt didn't get here in time. Finally going all grain!

I just drank the last few bottles from my first home brew. I made a stout that I added orange and chocolate to. For the orange I used zest and for the chocolate I used cacao nibs. It was a bit smokier than intended and the orange wasn't as prominent as I would have like, but considering it was my first brew ever I think it came out really well.

I got a hold of some non-pastuerized, non chemical added cider (illegal to sell in NY) and added campden pills let it sit over night. Boiled up a pound of Brown sugar and mixed it up, sprinkled some star wine yeast and it's fermenting a day later. 2 weeks later I'll have some cider. First time and I don't know if it will clarify but I'm guessing it will. Talk about easy.

I transferred a Porter to secondary today and added a pint of Makers Mark and 2 ounces of Oak cubes. Hopefully this will be semi-ready for Christmas!

Cider is essentially done all fermented. Took a sample or two or three

You planning on natural carbonation? If not, kill off the yeast and add some apple juice concentrate to sweeten it slightly.

In addition to the Cider I have a Chocolate Porter/Stout brewing. It started as a porter but with an OG of 1.1 apprx and has pounds of Grains, 2 cans LME, 2 LBS of DME and 1 oz of hops. Plus 1/2 Lb of Carapills for mouthfeel. I am thinking it'll be more like a Imperial Stout when done. It's bubbling like a mad man. I imagine it will take a good 4 months before I want to drink it (at least) and will age nicely but I will certainly "sample" some along the way!

It's a toss up between having a sweet cider and having carbonation. I am thinking of splitting it and doing some of both. For the sweet I was going to crash it and simply add some sort of sugar (concentrate is a great idea BTW) and just use priming sugar for the carbonated stuff.
