4th of July Brewfest!

Is everybody brewing over the holiday?

I am kegging two batches tonight and setting up for tomorrow.

I get off at 1:00PM Thursday, then am brewing a Vienna Ale.

Friday, I am brewing an 8 gallon batch of wheat (5 gallons of Cherry Wheat and 3 gallons of American Wheat).

Saturday, of course, is for smoking ribs, eatin' and DRINKIN'!!!

:rockin:

No brewing for me. On the Fourth, I've got 120 people coming over, 25 gallons of home brew, and $400 in fireworks.

On the fifth, I clean up...

Yup, brewing a variation of the haus pale ale.

6.5 lbs pale LME
1.5 lbs Munich LME
.5 lb Crystal 10L
Nottingham dry yeast

Hops schedule

1 oz cascade @ 60
1 oz amarillo @ 30
.5 oz cascade @ 15
.5 oz amarillo @ 10
.5 oz cascade @ 5
.5 oz amarillo @ flame out
1 oz cascade dry hopped\


also bottling my kitchen sink porter.

Also making smoked brisket for dinner.

Assuming I stay sober long enough to finish

I am headed to the beach for the weekend but the forecast is for rain.

I am kegging two batches tonight and am brewing my first all grain brew this weekend!

I will be BMBFing some to take camping. Leaving tomorrow night coming home sunday. Next brew not until July 25th

Brewing as I type, as a matter of fact. Tune in for the brewcast at 12:30 for the chill and transfer to the fermenter.

I'll probably brew on Friday as well and smoke some more meat (got a pork shoulder on the hickory right now) to boot.

We have a wedding on the Fourth, so the 3rd and 5th will have to do.

I've got plans to brew sometime during the weekend.

I'll be making Brewtopia's Belgian Wit and if I do a second batch, I'm going to do an IPA with a bunch of my partial bags of hops.

Got 10 gallons kegged up for the weekend
5 gallon hause pale ale
5 gallon strawberry wheat (swmbo's favorite)

2 fermenters empty
get back Sunday afternoon will brew then!

Off Friday, so a batch of Cherry Saison.

Taking my gear on the road so my 2 buddies can both brew friday before we go to a concert. Then drinking hb at another buddies on the 4th. Hopefully do my own batch sunday. Ingredients should be here today!

Off Friday, so a batch of non-cherry Saison.

Nope going camping wonder if I could fit a 5lbs tank and a 3 gallon corny on the bike ...




kinda doubt it this is the last time we went camping to where irregularpulse lives . After the pic was taken I manage to bungie 3 Coleman folding chairs on my Springer..

Brewing a Cent. Blonde at the campground we are parking our RV at. Can't wait to here the comments about it from the MIL. Actually, will probably just get funny looks. Too bad, the wife is on board with it, and the FIL will probably be helping, so MIL can suck it! he he.

As long as they wait until the wort is cooled!

I am off on friday, going to brew up an split 10 gallons of lefthand Milk Stout Clone with a friend, and simultaneously cook a brisket

Hmm, well I will be brewing on Friday - just not sure what. My Haus ale is at about 2 gals, I have the grains all measured for a 5 of Orange Cascade,.. Hmm, maybe both

I'm planning on doing another batch of blonde ale. If I have time, then I am also going to get the BYO Founders Breakfast Stout clone going.

Considering that I just found out that we will be getting a 4 day weekend instead of a three day weekend, I definitely forsee a two batch day.

Edit: The extra day off warrants the following.....
:rockin::rockin::rockin::rockin:

You suck.

Oh wait, I forgot I'm taking tomorrow off so I suck, too.

I got 10 gallons of Haus Ale ready for Sat(5 for myself and 5 for the neighbor), 5 of an Orange Kolsch and 3 of a American Wheat done with Pacman. Brewing a Fat Tire clone on sunday. I'm all set!!! Plus picking up 3 rack of ribs 2marrow.

Copycat...

Aww, man. If that was the case here, i'd be brewing a fourth beer this weekend.

I'm going to be brewing up a 5 gallon batch of Fizzy Yellow Beer on Friday, and hopefully getting the first finished taste of my amber this weekend.

Bottling two batches, transfering one, brewing another and making beer cheese soup. Going to be a busy brewing 4th!

11 gal batch. 6 gallons Organic Porter, and 5 gallons of Graff.

Complication/Resolution is I have a 7.5 gallon kettle. For the Graff, I'm using 1.5 gallons out of 8.75 gallons pre-boil wort runnings. With 4 gallons of apple juice, this gives you 11 gallons post boil product in one day.

The fire is stoked and I'm good to go on Friday.
