So who's brewing this weekend?

Brewing a PM NZ IPA today. Got about half way through runing the grains through a small food processor (no grain crusher yet) & it started overheating,since I didn't order the grain pre-crushed this time. gunna get a crusher when the federal refund comes in. Need a better crush that's also faster than this thing.

Sounds tasty! Perhaps a post in the recipe section on this one?

Gonna do the same when the fed gives me my money back, stir plate and grain mill.

Doing an original recipe (honey Kolsch) for its first trial, and my first-ever Kolsch.

The big question about this brew isn't really the brew-day itself, but clearing my pipeline sufficiently that I'll have a free keg for lagering when the beer's ready in a week or two.

I need more kegs, or a fermentation fridge big enough for a bucket. :smack:

Brewing a Vienna/Cascade SMaSH. I wish I hadn't consumed every last drop of my Vienna/Warrior SMaSH. I guess I will have to use taste bud memory for comparison.

I will be brewing a 1 gallon test batch of a pumpkin ale, already gearing up for fall

Brewing 10 gallons of vanilla porter.

Getting ready to get out the equipment for 10 gallons of a Sam's Summer clone. mmmmm

I'll be brewing a zombie dust-ish pale ale this morning, once I'm done with my surveying lab.

Doing a scaled down (1 gal) slightly tweaked version of Mr. Papazians Colonel Coffin Barley Wine Ale. Gonna use Chinook to bitter, Citra for flavor, and Cascade for Aroma.

Mashing a Kolsch right now - going to start the vourlauf in about 15min. Smells awesome. I do love a nice spring morning brew sesh.

Mashing a wee heavy right now...

Brewin' a batch of 3 Crops Cream Ale on Sunday....

Thinking of doing a Two Hearted or Breakwater Pale Ale over a yeast cake tomorrow.

Took forever crushing over 5lbs of grains in a mini food processor yesterday. would've been pretty late by the time I got done brewing & drying spent grains. so I'll brew the NZ IPA tomorrow. Grains are double bagged in the fridge till then...

Brewing my House Pale Ale today.

Doing a robust porter today -
11# Maris Otter
1# Chocolate Malt
1# Brown Malt
1# Crystal 40
1# Organic Munich
1# Flaked Barley
8 oz. Black Patent
8 oz. Roasted Barley
8 oz. Crystal 120
8 oz. cara-Pils

I may finally get around to making that elderberry mead.

18lbs of malts? Are you making an imperial porter brewrifle? Or maybe just a bigger batch?

I am taking my brewing outdoors for the first time! Huge burner, 10 gallon pot for 5 gallon brew. I figure an extract/steeping grains is a good way to calculate by boil-off on the new system before my next all-grain batch.

First, need to attend a wedding shower, then it's BREW TIME!

6 gallon batch of a strong robust porter

Just got done brewing AHS' White House Honey Ale. Started about 7 am.

Definate good way that's what I did

Brewed my Christmas Bier Sunday night. Used starter yeast. Initial OG 1.098. Fermenting quickly 9 hours later. 36 hours later, nothing in airflow. Thought it was stuck. Checked bucket lid. Must not have snapped her down, lid had popped up. Now 6 days later still going strong every 4 seconds.

Got my grains milled for my Northern Brown later today, and my Cream Ale is most of the way through the mash.

Pre-heating the tun for the blonde I'm brewing today

Brewing my Sunnyside Hop Summer Wheat Ale. A beautiful day to brew in Indianapolis. 25 minutes left in my boil and three hop additions left. This is a good day.

45 minutes left in my boil of a Blonde Ale. Awesome weather here in St Louis, have some steaks grilling at the same time.

Brewed a Caramel Cream Ale this morning, Thunder over Louisville tonight!

Brewing an IPA with Brett Trois tomorrow. Thinking Centennial, Zythos and Galaxy hops.

Just mashed in a Spring/Summer Ale. NW Pale Malt, a bit of Crystal 20, all Amarillo Hops, and Conan yeast.

One minute from dough-in, got called in to work... 4 hours later and back on the case (gonna be a long night). Currently mashing a batch of Belgian Dark Strong Ale to be pitched with captured Chimay yeast.

Brewing a dry stout today, dry hopping an english IPA and a Saison, and putting a second coat of high temperature paint on my new brew stand ( not in use yet)...

Halfway through the sparge on a Tafelbier

Just heating 2G of local spring water in my BK/MT for a PM for my NZ IPA. BS2 really helped on this one.

^did your pipeline go dry or something ? Thats quite a few batches in just a couple days. Not that thats a bad thing

I want to brew a simple IPA today, recipe i worked out from what i have on hand. 2-row, cara-pils, crystal 10, columbus, and cascade. I don't have room in the kegerator just yet-- guess im gonna join the "ever hit a keg hard to get it to kick?" thread, LOL.

All beers for Club Night at NHC. Just want to make sure there's enough time to ferment and condition (even if two will be getting kegged) before it's time to pour em.

Absolutely dying to Brew my Ocktoberfest and also a cream ale but I have to wait for my brew partner who can't seem to find the time.

Mashed in 6lbs of grains @ 1:06. Rich bready smell from the UK grains with some others for color & added flavor. Gotta start heating sparge water @ 1:36...

Summer ale is boiling!!
