So who's brewing this weekend?

[jswillbrewforbeer]

Just finished brewing a Bell's inspired American Amber Ale. Tried before to clone it without much success so this time I won't be disappointed if it's not indistinguishable. Got my hands on Imperial A62 Bell's House Ale Yeast which I just pitched to 5 gallons of wort brewed using a modified Bell's clone recipe. Excited!

Brewed an American Stout this afternoon, smelled good. It was the first stout I have done. I have made porters in the past though.

Many Thanks and will post an update when done
Don't understand the wife when she thinks that I am crazy and do my happy dance when I only miss OG by .002

First attempt at a lager. Going to use the Brulosophy Vienna lager recipe from the Short and Shoddy series. Going to keep my lengthier brew process but use the warmer/shorter fermentation technique.

I'm liking the color [emoji4]

Drank one tonight for the first time in a few years...forgot how much I love this brew. When I first had it, close to 10 years ago, I was so impressed by it's caramel flavor and thought it was one of the best beers I had ever tasted. I feel the same way tonight. Good luck with the clone!

Strata hops arrived in the mail on Tuesday, and a nice SMaSH is planned for this weekend. I hate being one of the "herd" and following the new trends, but this hop sounds fantastic (kinda like Mosaic a few years back). I do love my House IPA done with Mosaic but it's time to try something new. Will go with 14lbs of two row, bitter with 1oz at 60, with late additions of 1oz at 10 and 5, and a 2oz flameout/whirlpool. Will decide on the dry hop after a few days in primary. Hoping for something stellar.

Planning on a coconut wheat beer either today or tomorrow.

10 points short on my OG. First time being that far off. Hmmm...

In the double with Nelson, I used a 10ml hop shot and 1oz magnum for bittering. 2oz of Nelson in the whirlpool @ 170F and 2 x 3oz Nelson for dry hopping (likely day 5 and day 7).
For the pale ale, all whole hop cashmere with 1oz for bittering and 7oz in the whirlpool at 170F.
Cheers!

Looking at doing a sahti hopefully, but starting to get a backlog of beers, though...glad I can just give the pumpkin away!

 

[grampamark]

When you're semi retired and self employed Tuesday can be the weekend.

Brewing an Octoberfest and drinking HB Octoberfest. The batch I made last month was a big hit so I decided I'd better brew another.

 

[Day-Day]

Brewing a Neipa this weekend... maybe I'll post a brew log... if that's a thing in these parts...

 

[riceral]

Planning on a Munich Dunkel on Thursday or Friday.

Hey, when you are retired, most any day is the weekend.

 

[killeroy]

planning a Hefeweizen on Saturday!

 

[Toby Karnes]

Starting another Peanut Butter Milk Stout for her and a Winter Warmer for me.

 

[balrog]

@Yooper 's Haus Pale, 4.5G ferm in corny, using my own grown Cascade for flame out hop, this weekend.

 

[Toby Karnes]

Cant wait til my hops are ready.

 

[grampamark]

Brewing again today. A Pale Wheat. Drinking HB Saaz Smash.

 

[corkybstewart]

One day soon I'll be able to post my recipe for a current brew. But I moved last winter and am just getting the brewery set back up. Hopefully within a month I will be able to call myself a brewer again.

 

[Steveruch]

Planning on a coconut wheat beer either today or tomorrow.

Didn't get this going until yesterday; stupid cold.
1.056 and burping every six seconds this morning at 60 f.

 

[Dhm8484]

Not the weekend but brewing Amber Ale, with Cascade hops.....cheers from PA

 

[brewbama]

I’m all set up to brew MyBock tomorrow AM.

 

[kevin58]

If the chores don't pile up this weekend I'm looking at a Sunday brewday and making Revvy's Kentucky Common.

 

[riceral]

Planning on a Munich Dunkel on Thursday or Friday.

Hey, when you are retired, most any day is the weekend.

So, I did my Munich Dunkel this afternoon. 1.054 and using 2 different yeasts: S-23 and S-189.

I'll see how it turns out.

 

[ScrewyBrewer]

Tomorrow's plans are for a batch of Spruce Tip Honey Amber Ale. It was a big hit around the holidays last year so a ten gallon batch should do this year. After Thanksgiving dinner I'll know if another batch is needed to last through the Winter.

 

[Amadeo38]

Mashing Orfy’s Mild Mannered English Dark Mild right now.

Mild Mannered Ale (AG) (E) UK/US

[jturman35]

I did a Dark Mild and drinking it now. Not bad at 3.5% but came out a little on the watery side. Not sure where I went wrong.

 

[HB2 HughBHomeBrew]

Brewing my Pilsener Lager attempt. Trying to make it all the same as last recipe except using a new smack pick of Wyeast 2007 Pilsen Lager versus 2124 Bohemian Lager (on 4th propagation) to see if I can tell difference
Perfect weather 56-61F (especially since for chilling my hose water runs about air temperatures in Texas)

 

[TrashWoodBrew]

Second run with my new RIMS system tomorrow. The first attempt I milked too fine and stuck the mash scorching the wort

Brewing a “white IPA” which is basically my version of a hazy before hazy was a thing.

I brewed a 2.5 gal batch of a Rye Porter today. Funny, my system looks exactly like yours! P.S. My system for 5 gal batches is not much more advanced.

I was going to brew a Marzen this weekend but my LHBS didn't have a Wyeast, Imperial, White Labs or Omega strain for it (???).... I contacted the next closest LHBS, who will have the yeast transported from Philadelphia to NJ over night, and I'll pick it up in the morning.... the brew will be delayed until next weekend. I found a new LHBS, although a longer travel time, but at least they are accommodating.

 

[BongoYodeler]

I was planning on brewing a coconut milk-stout this weekend but Ward Lab didn't come through for me. I'm still waiting for my water report.

Any lager strain will do. Hardly any variation between them unlike ales.

 

[Brewbuzzard]

Just finished 10 gals of Maibock...

 

[nwbrewdude]

30 gallons of Amarillo IPA
