Would love hear more about the Ginger Basil Cream Ale!

Amazing aroma, and tastes decent so far. All grain five gallon batch, using 6 row, 2 row, flaked corn, caramel 60, ginger root and basil for adjuncts. I also pitched fresh blended peaches during second fermentation. We'll see how it fares. We brewed it for a competition, here in Charleston. F.G. Puts it at 5% ABV. Cheers!

Mashed in a grapefruit apa/ipa that someone had posted. I had done the extract and love it. Now i'm doing a converted ag version.

Also made a wooden beer crate for some 22oz bottles. Racked from the keg.

Good luck to all brewing!!

That grapefruit IPA sounds really good! Would you happen to have the extract recipe on hand or a link? It would be much appreciated!

I'm planning to brews Rye IPA recipe

10 gallons of Hop Sesh on the brew deck for tomorrow

Brewed 5 gallons of a bock beer and 5 gallons of honey kolsch today!

Planning a blue moon clone this weekend!

Going to brew on Friday and take...my...time...
Usually I feel rushed but with a 4 day weekend I have no reason to be.

Hoping to brew Saturday.. think i'm going to go for a Maris Otter / Simicoe SMaSH

Did my first ever triple-brew-day on Canada Day (Monday). I brewed an IPA (WLP001 California Ale in a 2L starter), a Red IPA (repitched US-05 slurry), and a Rauchbier (washed Wyeast Marzen/Oktoberfest in a 4L starter).

Ran into a small problem on the last batch, my Hop Stopper got clogged up with hops and break material during chilling, so I was only able to get the wort down to 80° F. I racked to a carboy and put it in a laundry tub full of water and a couple frozen 2L juice bottles. Finally got to bed a little after 11 last night.

Woke up this morning to find all 3 batches have developed a healthy krausen already.

Brewing Dead Ringer IPA (Bells Two Hearted clone) on Saturday, pitching BRY-97 slurry from Arrogant Bastard clone (racking to secondary Fri night).

Get a blowoff on that bad boy. This is the only brew that I've done twice so far, and both times I've had to put on the BO Tube. I haven't had a blowoff on any other beer. Less than 5.5 gals of wort into a 6.5 gal bucket.

I have three beers I need to make this weekend. Chamomile Saison, Oak Aged Sour saison, and my cream ale.

Yes....already planned. Going to rack my Arrogant Bastard clone to secondary friday, put a 3 piece on it and take the blow off from primary and prep it for the Dead Ringer Primary Saturday!

Making a "between styles" festbier today - 1.060 80/20 pils/munich, Magnum, and Wy2633 harvested from a test batch.

Making a Frankenbeer this weekend -- using up stray hops, grains, and DME that are taking up space. I'm guessing it'll end up an American pale ale but you never know what'll happen when you throw the switch.

i'd like to get in a 10gallon batch of something this weekend, but i've brewed the last 2 weekends so the wife might be a tad bit annoyed if i do.

Not a weekend, but I'll be brewing up an ESB tomorrow, thanks to the bar study-free holiday! It will be my first three-vessel all grain batch.

Getting ready to mash a Dunkelweizen now. Woohoo brewday!

Brewing a honey cream ale tomorrow: http://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/the-bear-licked-the-honey

Also bringing in a couple of friends who have never brewed before to help and observe. Share the brew!

Brewing an IPA on Saturday. 11 Gallon batch using mostly Cascade for bittering, with Simcoe and Amarillo for Flavor/Aroma. Looking to start at about 1.070. Booyah!

Just mashed in my Smoked Honey Weizen with Juniper berries here in Germany. Smells amazing!

Gonna brew a Dry Irish Stout tomorrow. Picked up the yeast yesterday. It's Wyeast Irish Ale, with a manufacturing date of May 13, 2013. Think it's still good?

Less than 2 months, it should have a good amount of viable yeast. It should be OK. I rarely find liquid yeast at any LHBS around here that's less than 1-1/2 to 2 months old.

You might want to do a yeast starter, though.

Bottling my first batch brewed on 6/21, trying to find a Lagunitas Red Clone to brew next. Any ideas? Extract recipes perhaps?

Just bottled my first ever batch, sampled some and OHMYGOD it tastes like beer! Finished cleaning the carboy and have the second batch boiling. My LHBS compiled a Lagunitas-ish Red Ale clone extract recipe. Drinking Fat Tire while I wait, cheers!

Edit: Um... got a 1.092 starting gravity, that's good right?

Hoping to brew my Dunkelweiss if my Ark is finished in time given our rain!

I have just knocked out a Fremantle pale ale!! good summer drinking

Irish Stout today. To be bottled for fall consumption.

Mmmm beer

A quick American wheat

That moment when you think. My god that's a lot of water, that's a lot of grain, and this container is small

Don't have the weekend off but I have Mon-Wed to brew! Got a WIPA on deck and if I can get to the LHBS I'll grab the ingredients for my imperial sweet stout recipe I came up with after doing some serious research on stouts!

First brew with new brew kettle and mash tun, so will try out EdWort's Haus Pale Ale. I eagerly look forward to how it all turns out.

Just finished a California Common. Brew went great, glad I had my umbrella though. I need a carport.

just brewed the lemon-lime hefe weizen:rockin:

Attempting my first ever AG! Figured id start simple witb cream of three crops. Did a partial mash of this stuff with some dme last weekend.

Doing a late Marzen and a Cream Ale on Sunday. First Double batch brewday and I started brewing 17 years ago. Excited to do something to push myself a bit.

I was planning a Dunkelweiss but I've been too busy building an Ark!

American Pale Ale that I'll be open fermenting (1st) and dry hopping.

I did my 1st PM of NB Speckled Heifer yesterday. Struggled with the mash temp. But other then that all went well and it's bubbling away in the basement. Cheers!

I am hoping to double batch tomorrow, an Eagle Rock Solidarity Clone to start the day and a Pumpkin Ale. If my wife stays out long enough I might even go for batch 3 and do the Autumn Amber Ale recipe. It was my first ever brew (Midwest Groupon) and I would like to try it again now that I brew all grain and sort of know what I am doing.
