So who's brewing this weekend?

Got a good amount of Simcoe so I may do a small test brew on Monday.
Wish it weren't so damn hot!

I was going to brew Ruby Ale (raspberry wheat) but the water pump on the jeep went out. I am going to fix that. Starting early tomorrow. I did just whip up a batch of Ed Wort's Apfelwein. Maybe if I finish early with the jeep I'll do this.

Did you ever make a coconut brew? My coconut brown is just coming around in the bottle, and it has a great coconut backnote to it! ABV was higher than I expected, and I think the coconut would benefit from a lower ABV. I'm going to try again with a smaller grain bill. I'm thinking the sugar in the coconut contributed more than I expected it would...

Ive used coconut palm sugar before-which tastes great.

Saison IF the Saison Dupont bottle culture takes. First one failed, started another today, hopefully will be able to step up Sat. and brew Sunday. Fingers crossed.

In case you dont know (i didnt) i takes a while to grow yeast from the bottle. I wanted to harvest from bottle of orval and after 24h on the stir plate (150ml of wort) i posted worrying thread, after number of ppl told me to wait i did so and i had clear growth around 60h, now my saison is almost a week in primary and i cant wait to try it

Falconers Flight IPA with WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast. Yah-yer!

I hope to brew a 19 litre batch of Irish Red Ale on Sunday and bottle my 17 litres of Smoked Choc porter which is currently Cold Conditioning at 1C in the fridge.

Will be my second batch on my new herms system.

I brewed my first shot at a Maibock last night, fermentation process took off like a rocket and is well under way today in 24 hours.
1/2 lb two row roasted and cracked into 30 min steep (150 degrees F)
10 lbs of golden light malt
1 oz. of Mt Hoods for boiling
Another 1/2 oz. of Mt Hood after 30 minute boil
Finally 1 oz. of Czech Saaz for final 15 minutes.

Just mashed out my Loose Cannon clone. Gotta love an early brewday!

Considering giving Edwort's Haus Ale a shot. It is hot outside but we can get cool in the pool while we mash ... heh heh

Definitely going to brew. Can't decide between an Australian IPA and a Cream Ale. Thinking of the Cream Ale as a good lawn mower beer.

I really want to brew, but we'll see. Nearing the end of the honey-do season and I have a few things that need finishing before the open house next weekend.

Some of that is finishing the adapter I need to get CO2 into the 2.5 gallon fire extinguisher soda keg.

I will be grinding some grain and making a starter tonight. Looking at brewing my Flower Power clone on Monday.

Planning on BM cream of three crops Saturday. Was going to do it last week but life got in the way.

11 gallons of Tampa Red on deck for Monday.

California common and possibly an oatmeal stout on deck for Monday.

Blueberry Honey Pilsner is chilling next going to do Weizenbier....

Im brewing an all Citra all late hopped pale ale

Trying out my new BK Monday. Apricot blonde.

I'll be brewing a vanilla bourbon stout this weekend to age until October.

Sunday I'll be brewing an American Pale Ale, in homage to my brother Marines, to all who serve, and especially in remembrance of those who paid the ultimate price. Then on Wednesday I'll be doing a Belgian Golden Strong Ale.

Split batch of a wheat beer! 1/2 gets Bell's house yeast for an American wheat, other 1/2 gets 3068 for a Bavarian-style hefeweizen.

Just started the vorlauf on some best bitter...Realized that I didn't remember to set in the false bottom of my MLT!

This is what happens when you haven't brewed in 5 months. Blarg! this is going to take forever....

Been a couple of months since i've brewed, and the pipeline is nearly depleted. I'm doing a double batch tomorrow, Amber ale, and a 1554 clone.

Was planning to do a Blue Moon clone this weekend. Midwest shipped a day later than I expected, and I gave them my work address for delivery. So when FedEx home delivery shows up tomorrow, there'll be no one here to accept delivery.

i'm about to smack my pack for sunday's batch...

Doing a BIAB version of "Cream of Three Crops" Cream Ale. Stoked!!:rockin:

I have a 1 liter starter of washed yeast on the stir plate now. Going to BIAB a Rye APA tomorrow.

Only the shipper can do that, and then it's $11. I'd expect MW to pass the charge to me if I contacted them to do it, and it's not worth it to me.

Been reading through the recipe database and I think Im gonna brew Hammy's IPA have all the ingredients in house already.

Brewing a nut brown for the memorial day weekend, plus transferring a honey kolsch to secondary.

Just picked up ingredients for an american wheat!

Me. 20gal of Lambic base. Simple grist and low ibu's. Let the strains and fruit do the rest. I love how this movie ends!..............

Picked up everything to brew my first American Amber Ale on Monday. It's for a big party at the end of June so hopefully it's tasty

Me!

Brewing a Newcastle clone.....

Brewing a Surely Bender kit from NB. Partial mash.

Grabbed ingredients for a Galaxy IPA. Was going to brew it tonight but I think I'm just going to chill out and drink. I'll brew it up tomorrow.

Not this weekend...end of the month and money's a lil tight. Likely just racking a couple meads and ciders to secondary if they are clear enough.

Brewed a nut brown today and now i am chilling out listening to the tigers beating up the twins
