So who's brewing this weekend?

Picking up a craigslist turkey fryer this evening and brewing my first shot at Bohemian Pilsner this weekend. Rooftop brewing here I come.

Russian Imperial Stout.

Unfortunately, no. But I will be racking 2 into secondary and dry hopping. Oh, and I'll be drinking quite a bit of homebrew this weekend. Does that count?

Time permitting, we'll be brewing a nice Warsteiner Pilsner recipe.
Simple recipe but the wife loved it last summer so we're doing it again.

Just need some cooperation from the little ones.

throwing in some gelatin to a couple of batches, that is all this weekend.

Dry hopping a IIPA and brewing a APA.

Bottling an ESB (my first all grain) and brewing a Blind Pig IPA clone.

Wasn't sure if the Pale Ale I brewed with harvested Bell's yeast was good, all that Centennial in the Pale Ale rendered such a citrus-y character I wasn't sure if it was sour or not. Now that I've carbed and tapped that Pale Ale, it tastes fine.

So now I can proceed with the Two-Hearted clone this weekend using most of the washed cake from the Pale Ale.:rockin:

what blind pig recipe are you going with?

Brewing up a irish red ale this weekend my first brew pretty excited should be able to drink it on my birthday in may

just doughed in on an orange pale ale

kegging Dead Guy Ale, brewing something...not inspired yet

Heading up to Kai's in the morning for Marzenbrau. Seems that the only time I can find time to brew these days is when there's a three-hour drive involved.

Brewing up a Coffee Porter on Sunday.

I am going to brew a Bells 2 Hearted Clone and some Hard Lemonade

Just waiting for the wort to come to a boil... Hefeweizen.

At the midpoint of the boil...another batch of EdWort's Haus Pale Ale. This time I'm trying Marris Otter and doing first wort hopping.

9 min left in mash of a SNPA clone.

Added .5# carapils and .5# flaked wheat.

I like it to stick to my lips!

Bull

Making a starter tonight and will be brewing my first lager tomorrow night, an Export.

jamils evil twin tomorrow mornin'

Brewing a Honey Blonde tomorrow!

Brewed Vinnie's recipe for Pliney The Elder. Previously brewed Jamil's version of PTE on sterioids so it will be interesting to compare that to Vinnie's homebrew recipe. Different hops and not quite the same grain amount in Vinnie's homebrew version of PTE. The Jamil/Hop Hammer version of PTE is quite good but also quite strong. Montanaandy

got my wit partial mash boiling now.

preheating cooler and heating strike water for a hefe. Starter is going crazy. Hope this turns out we

Ahtanum/Amarillo APA going right now.

AG Simcoe/Amarillo IPA resting now.

The grains for my first porter are in the MLT as we speak. This is a recipe of my own design (with a li'l assist from Ray Daniels -- Designing Great Beers. We'll see what a smart guy Ray is!)

Made starters last night.
Doing 2 batches today....an Alaskan Amber Clone and pseudo Irish Red.
I'll try to go light on the home brew consumption as I go, so I don't screw the pooch on something as I get into the 2nd batch!!!!

brewing an American Blonde right now

i didn't plan to brew this weekend but might change my mind and brew up a red ale this afternoon. i did make some beef jerky yesterday, though!

Brewed up a graff yesterday.

2nd brew this weekend coming right up. getting ready for a pale ale tasting at a local wine/beer bar in 5 weeks

just bottled my American Strawberry Wit Beer. Tastes awesome!

Brewed my house IPA today, but my my efficiency was garbage. More like a super hopped pale ale now. Very upsetting.

Had some friends visit for the weekend and guided them through their first brew ever - an all grain espresso stout loosely based on the Zymurgy recipe. They may have done better than me!

Also had them do some racking to kegs and make a batch of ginger ale. And, help cut down a few trees.

I'm half way through the boil of my Export.

I brewed a batch of EdWarts Bee Cave Brewery Bavarian Hefeweizen at a family BBQ. What a great spring day!

This same schit happened to me on Saturday. I tried a rye IPA that the mash gummed up like a bowl of old oatmeal and my numbers (temp wise) were all over the place because I wasn't flowing wort (I use a direct fired recirc mash tun). Ultimately I ended up with a 1.038 OG when I should have had a 1.068. It's bubbling away now but I'll have to redo this recipe as I had big hopes for it. I even used a pound of rice hulls but it wasn't enough...
