Probably be brewing a IPA with falconers flight/seven seas/HBC342 that will be aged on chardonnay soaked oak chips one day this weekend.
 
I brewed my SMaSH belgian blonde last weekend and will be brewing either a light honey (malt) beer or a Nugget pale ale this weekend.

Sounds good, but how much munich do you have? Could make it even better with more.

Depends on what you're going for. A nice malty, darker lager like a Marzen would have a LOT more Munich and probably some Vienna. Look at BierMuncher's OktoberFAST to see what I mean. That's an exceptional beer that can be made with ale yeast or SFL yeast as well, or your favorite lager yeast.

Here's how I made it last year (9g batch):

American Pale Ale - 9lbs (50.6%)
American Munich 10 - 7lbs (39.3%)
American Crystal 40 - 1.8lbs (10.1%)
 
ah If my order from Northern Brewer comes by Friday I am!

have me some Bavarian Hefeweizen, Big Honkin' Stout, & AK47 Pale Mild kits ordered up last night.
 
Brewing up a slightly modified Caribou Slobber, since I'm picking up DME and specialty grains from my LHBS.
 
It wasn't the weekend, but what else are rainy Wednesdays good for.
Brewed a Belgian IPA. Came in at 1.074.

Then brewed an Imperial IPA and tested the capacity limit of my MLT. Came in at 1.096.

picking up a 15 cf chest freezer for a lagerator saturday morning, then brewing 10 gallons of either pilsner or kolsch sunday. already have the temp controller
 
Last weekend was a good one. Got together at a friends house for a group brew.
I brewed a Apricot blonde. I've never brewed this one before so hope it goes well. Recipe calls for both apricot puree and a small amount of apricot flavoring. I'm going ral easy on the flavoring, I'm not a real fan bottled flavoring.
 
I told my boss that I was going to be late to work later today. I told him I had an emergency, an empty fermenter. He understood. I just don't know what to brew.
 
I'm bottling a leavenworth eightmile alt clone, and racking my tripel to the secondary. I'm planning on brewing a weissbier soon for my friend's birthday, but I fear that I won't have enough bottles to put it in, having brewed 2 other batches so close to each other.
 
Brewing my first Hefe of the year.Picked up 7 lbs. wheat and 5 lbs. pils
yesterday at brew-n-grow.

Cheers
 
Its gonna be a busy Saturday for me and my bud coming from out of town. We have challenged our selves to do four brews....I know...crazy. We will start with an extract brew, while the first and second mash are going, then we will finish up with a DFH 90 minute clone. I'm getting excited just talking about it! Trying to get as many brews in before I start pilot training for the Air Force; my spare time will be severly limited for about a year. No complaints though! :mug:
 
im about to start up a strawberry wine. i'm tossing around the idea of making strawberry and blackberry but I cannot find any insight into that as of yet. I haven't really looked into it very much though. I image I could prepare the black berries the same as the strawberries but my question is if I could put both in the primary at the same time.

Brewed up 5 gallons of Black IPA a couple nights ago. It was my first partial mash. I think I did a pretty terrible job all around. Poor temp control on the mash, melting the paint strainer to bottom of the pot. It's bubbling away in the bucket now. Fingers crossed that it turns out better than I deserve. Time to buy a MLT, I think.

Nice, I was planning on doing a blonde next, and I guess this recipe will be as good as any. Maybe Monday or next weekend.
 
Rebrewing my Velvet Hammer recipe tomorrow, a ~10% Russian Imperial Stout with cinnamon and cocoa powder. I originally did it a few years ago (2008?) as extract with steeping grains and have since reformulated for all-grain.

Should peak around Thanksgiving. Gonna be hard to keep my mitts off this one before then. :drunk:

Came up to my buddies place this weekend to brew our own recipe. It will kinda be an American Pale Ale on steroids. This beer should be about 1.075 OG and almost 8% ABV.
 
Making BM's Centennial Blonde today.

I also have to tap about 15 maple trees before the snow comes in.

I guess I'll be drinking in the garage today also.:ban:
 
Gonna do an ESB from Northern Brewer tomorrow with my first smack pack. Might smack it tonight (no double entendres there I swear) and leave it on the counter.
Trying to put all my knowledge I've gleaned so far from HBT into this one, including late LME addition.
The Northern Brewer kits don't have the same level of instructions as the Brewers Best kits- it's like I'm taking off the training wills.
I will have to use some- nay, ALL of my cunning!
 
Citra IIA (Imperial Amber Ale). FWH with 1oz Horizon and 3oz of Citra from 20-0 mins, 1oz for aroma steep and 2oz DH. Super pumped for tomorrow's brew day!
 
Planning to do a double brewday tomorrow. 10 gallons of APA w/ Magnum for bittering and all Citra late hops, splitting using US05 and Nottingham and dryhopping each with more Citra . 5 gallons of Kolsch with Tettnang hops and WLP029 German Ale/Kolsch yeast .
 
Getting a blue berry ale into primary. Then heading to midwest supplie to pick up an irish red ale and some other supplies.
