So who's brewing this weekend?

[camonick]

Just finished my mash and bringing everything up to a boil. Will be a chocolate hazelnut porter when it’s done.

 

[bobeer]

had a house full of sick kids this weekend so I decided to catch up on my pipeline. Brewed back-to-back 5 gallon batches; one session IPA and an oatmeal chocolate stout.

 

[grampamark]

Brewing at the city house this week. Cali Common 2.5 gal BIAB.

 

[skysmyzer]

First crack at a Kolsch, boil about done.

 

[MplsUgly]

Knocked out a split batch. 8 gallons of 1.063 IPA and 5.5 gallons of 1.044 golden ale. My personal take on a party gyle (spelling??) type of brew but I just water one part down.

today I pulled and chilled 4 gallons of 1.060 wort off post boil and added 1.5 gallons of water to make it 1.044 ish. Then added a bunch of hops to whirlpool my IPA and was left with about 8 gallons into car boys plus a bunch of sludge in the kettle.

 

[CascadesBrewer]

I "brewed" today...my first cider...so I actually just dumped some bottles of cheap apple juice into a carboy and added yeast (Nottingham) and yeast nutrient. I am exhausted...time for a beer!

 

[brew703]

NEIPA yesterday.
Munich Dunkel next weekend.

 

[Chris-Naz]

Another weekend another west coast-ish dipa

 

[Coastalbrew]

Kveik pale ale yesterday. Smells amazing and hopefully will be in bottles next weekend!

Cheers!

 

[MaxStout]

I'll be brewing a Belgian golden strong on Wed, the Mighty Gnome. Just made a 2L starter with WY3522.

 

[Hellbender1]

Brewed a Vienna lager today. Pitched with a starter of WLP833.

 

[brewbama]

Brewed a Dunkel today I’ve dubbed Bonländer based on CavPilot’s Kreuzberger.

 

[RCope]

Gonna brew an Irish Red Ale on Saturday. Made a starter with White Labs Irish Ale yeast...that stuff is a master floccer (if that is a word).

 

[firerat]

Hopefully I'll actually get to make the Pale Ale I've been wanting to make for 3 weeks.

Every weekend something happens and I'm delayed again.

Damn you life, getting in the way of my beer adventures!!!

 

[brew703]

Munich Dunkel tomorrow. First time brewing this style.

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

Me. Have a Fuller's London Pride clone all setup and ready to go.

 

[DayLghtBreaks]

Brewing up the Wookie Jack Clone using the recipe from this forum, time to bring the Black IPA back from the dead!

 

[valkommen]

Brewing a saison with 3726, then racking onto cranberries for a week. Fingers crossed!

 

[BongoYodeler]

Brewing up the Wookie Jack Clone using the recipe from this forum, time to bring the Black IPA back from the dead!

Interested in hearing how it turns out. It's on my list for some time in the future.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Was hoping to brew a chocolate/coconut milk stout this weekend but my back is not cooperating.

 

[shetc]

Brewing a Timothy Taylor Landlord clone - this will be my 1st attempt at using a yeast starter built from a yeast slant.

 

[seatazzz]

Husband bought himself the new COD game yesterday, so I feel justified in running to the LHBS today for enough grain to do a batch. Down to less than 4lbs of two row in the bin. Debating on buying pilsner for another lager, or some more two-row and munich to do a Pale or IPA; we've got Comet, Strata, Chinook, Crystal, Northern Brewer, and Centennial for pellet hops; tempted to use the Comet and Strata to see if they'll play nice with each other. Decisions, decisions!

Was hoping to brew a chocolate/coconut milk stout this weekend but my back is not cooperating.

Not wanting to maneuver 6 1/2 gallons of wort with a bad back, I decided I'm going to brew a 1.25 gallon batch of a west coast style double IPA instead. Picked up the grains today and I'll brew tomorrow.

 

[jcav]

In the boil phase right now of a requested Pumpkin Ale. I use 15 pounds of pumpkin in this 11 gallon batch and put it in a mesh bag in the mash tun, while I sparge and then add it to the boil kettle as it heats up to a boil, then squeeze and remove. Spices go in a 10 minute whirlpool at the end. Smells great out here right now!

[Day-Day]

Brewed an Imperial stout on Saturday... pitched around 3:30 pm yesterday... and just switched to a blow off tube because the krausen was crawling through the airlock (6.5 gallon carboy) and making a mess all over the towel covering the carboy.. my entire basement smells like dark chocolate...

 

[grampamark]

As a semi retired, self employed old person, I am brewing on my own schedule, as usual. A Mosaic SMaSH this time. Drinking a Pale Wheat Ale (basically a hefe) from my extensive collection of Wal-Mart plastic drinkware.

 

[GnenieGone]

Yep! Me too semi-retired, as I'm down to 40hrs/week from 60. Did a Belgian Dubble and Hard lemonade last week. Doing a Stout and Mead in the next couple days

[Hoppy2bmerry]

It’s not the weekend, but I’m brewing today.

 

[brewcat]

Probably should. A stout maybe? Kind of down to the last of my grains.

 

[BrewMan13]

Munich dunkel for "learn to homebrew day" at one of our club members houses. First crack at the style, brewing by request.

 

[GnenieGone]

Doing a Stout w/friend

 

[cmac62]

Tomorrow I'm brewing a lite clone ale and a SA Fezziwigish winter warmer. I should check on here and see about the spice additions. I also plan on fermenting a cheep apple juice cider for jacking. LOL.

 

[seatazzz]

Hoping to get some grain on Saturday, as it's time to get the Winter Ale started. This year going with a base of two row, with some crystal 80 and a tiny bit of chocolate malt & chocolate wheat, bittered with fresh Mt Hood I got from my co-worker. This time not throwing any spices in the boil, they will all go in after 2 weeks in primary; cinnamon, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, and allspice, that will soak in a bottle with rum. Last year's batch was terrific, hoping for the same this year.

 

[6Tap]

This Sat I will be brewing a 15 gallon batch #11 of WC IPA.
Have all ingredients and ready to have some fun!
