So who's brewing this weekend?

[luke_d]

Getting up tomorrow at about 5:30 AM to start heating up all my strike water. Doing four batches back to back to back to back. Should be fun, at least I have plenty of friends to help! It's their first time brewing, I'm hoping to get them hooked!

 

[tre9er]

Making an ESB with all base malt (some toasted), nugget and willamette. Was pretty good last time.

 

[coldandbitter]

American Honey Cream Ale Tomorrow-My first 5 Gallon Batch!
Willamette and Cascade hops instead of Saaz or Mt Hood as many prefer.

May use second runnings for an American Pale Ale-related beer with my new favorite-Summit! I'll steep some crystal 60 if i try it.

Also my first time using White Labs Yeast (WLP080-cream ale blend) and I'm wondering how that will turn out.
The APA will be using Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Yeast.

Since I've finally got a pretty good backlog in the pipeline, I can finally brew a beer that can age for a while. I've got a starter stepped up and chugging away to be put into a Barleywine this weekend. All grain #3. planning on a 90 min mash and 90 min boil.

 

[gometz]

Brewing batch #2 of my IPA, also testing out the new kettle which will allow me to sparge better.

 

[andvari7]

Brewing my own wheat recipe. I do 1 gallon batches, so here are my numbers:

3:1:1 Wheat:Gambrinus ESB:Maris Otter
Wyeast 3333
1oz. Chinook - bitter (60m)
1/3 Citra (30)
1/3 Citra (15)
1/3 Citra (10)

Sacch rest at 156deg 80m, mash out 170 for 10.

OG:
FG: TBD

I want a limited hop character, which begs the question, "Why on Earth would you even consider Citra?" Answer: I have a lot of it in my freezer.

I'm actually in the boil right now. The real challenge will be if I got my water chemistry right. Won't know until August, I suppose.

I will trade you some willamette for your citra

 

[ICWiener]

Belgian Pale Ale with cucumbers. By my calculations, it should be a tasty summer beer.

1oz of Chinook in a 1g batch? That's going to be really bitter...

 

[ICWiener]

Ha...you get me some galaxy or nelson sauvin and I'll get you all the citra you want.

That's the beauty of brewing: it's unpredictable. Besides, I like bitter.

 

[Snisup]

Haha... Well I'm going to predict that your beer will be nigh undrinkable, but to each their own

 

[Shred]

Steeping grains for my "Cheap & Easy Dumb Blonde" as I type this... Oh - and I'm doing it in the garage in my new turkey fryer setup

 

[chuckstout]

Did a partial mash Imperial Stout last night. Hoping to let it age for a while. Its going to get some Oak and coca nibs in the future

 

[Bklmt2000]

Sunday morning, I will brew the latest version of my Dopplebock.

Munich, Pils, and some crystal to an OG of ~1.090, with Magnum for bittering and Hallertau for flavor/aroma.

A slurry of 34/70 lager yeast will do the heavy lifting in the primary, and after primary is over, a nice long, cold nap until the keg gets tapped in late September.

Going for another ipa. 10# 2row, 1# maris otter(left over), .25# special b (118L), .75 carapils. warrior/galena/Amarillo. wlp001. easy peasy.

 

[TrubHead]

Another IPA cooking now targeted OG 1.071 at 85% extract efficiency with 85 IBU. OG probably higher since improving the mash process.

 

[Steelfball]

I am working on a english brown. sparging as we speak. smells SOOOO good.

 

[beaksnbeer]

Oktoberfest starting to boil 110gallons thus far this year wahoo!!

 

[ArkotRamathorn]

Bottling my SMaSH White Wheat and Cascade (Wyeast 3942). SWMBO said I can't brew this weekend, but then I remembered I have a Mr. Beer Kit sitting around (Corona clone), may as well just throw that in the fermenter on top of the 3942 yeast cake (add a little bit of brown sugar to the wort and some lemon zest) who knows what will happen :fro:.

[govner1]

My new ferm chamber is up & going! So, in definitely brewing Sunday- Nut Brown Ale ( daughter & SWMBO' s request).

 

[whitehause]

[williamsdm1111]

Brew day cancelled. Kid was up sick all night + wife up all night with sick kid and baby = no brewing.

 

[gestyr]

I didn't brew today but this is brew related. Today I bottled a batch of Barleywine that has been aging since December 2011. Nice smooth taste, very malty and rich. The alcohol is there but is a warming rather than a harsh alcohol presence. OG: 1.092 FG: 1.010

 

[d2xx]
