So who's brewing this weekend?

Brewing my first batch in about 5 years. Decided to start off with a known recipe and am doing EdWort's Haus Pale Ale. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

Brewed a chocolate milk stout this morning and kegged 12 gallons of a brown. Good day

I just finished making a porter which I will divide into 2 batches - one will be a coconut vanilla porter and the other will be mesquite bourbon porter

My first homebrew. It turned out really well. Honey peach lager

Brewing 10g of a Citra Dbl. IPA.
31# grain bill i believe is the largest ive tried in this 18 gal MT
Nugget and Citra in the boil with Citra and Amarillo Gold dry hop additions.

Just ventured into the beginnings of an alternative grain brew. Did a 2015 BJCP style 1d (American wheat). Substituted rye for wheat to enter in BJCP category 31a at local event.

Grist is 40% Pale, 35% rye, 15 % red Wheat, 10 % Vienna for an OG of 1.047.

All late addition hops. Used Denali and Chinook.

WY1056 for a clean tasting yeast.

This batch of Chinook was by far the fruitiest batch ever. While resinous, it had the most wonderful soft citrusy smell. Only tasted the OG sample, but it just seems to pair incredibly with the rye and Denali

Just kegged my pale ale of Azzaca and Centennial smelled good tasted good. Oh yea first time kegging finally made the step up

Did 5 gallons of a Mocktober Fest yesterday. Had a buddy bring his rig over and he did 5 gallons of a blonde. Not a bad brew day in Texas. It wasn't 10,000 degrees out. Made for a good day.

brewed tonight. finally realizing the dream of brewing on weekday evenings.

knocked out at all hallertau pils. hit all the numbers.

I am brewing an AIPA this Sunday. Finally Bought and computer so I can use the beer Smith software I purchased about 3 months ago. Hopefully this batch will turn out better than expected. Cheers to the weekends! [emoji482]

Double, possibly triple brew coming up today if only I can find all the equipment after eight months...

Fundraiser run today, but brewing a Hefeweizen tomorrow. Usually I make a Hefeweizen early in the summer but early fall works too.

Found all the gear, got enough malts for two rounds. Sparging the first one, while it drains gonna pop into the local mx track to see some pals spray mud, then gonna brew til I drop.

Doing my big ass imperial chocolate stout today (1.106 OG). 44 pounds of grain darned near fills the mlt - not much freeboard left.
Ramping to mash out...

Cheers!

Brewing 10 gallons of American brown. Gotta get the fall beers ready!

Damn nice set up

I am going to try my hand at a No boil No chill warm fermented lager on Sunday. Wish me luck!

Cheers

Full boil glycol chilled 45F fermented pils

I'm brewing an oatmalt stout. It's based on the 1850 Maclays recipe. It was the first ever Oatmalt Stout (they trademarked Oatmalt Stout which is why everyone else calls it Oatmeal Stout). It contains liquorice and linseed and a lot of oat malt. It apparently comes out slick and very, very black! I've tampered with the recipe so it's not a direct clone.

Thank you kindly, I appreciate the comment

Hit both volumes and gravities today, no small deal with a big beer that wants to drive efficiencies down.
Safely in Chamber 2 next to the Blue Moon crashing in 1...



Cheers!

Raspberry vanilla cream ale.

Sunday morning. Plain old corn beer.

Belgian Wit, from Beersmith. First one of these for me. Got my bitter orange and coriander ready!

I'm doing 5 gallons of a Brown Ale. I am getting ready for a pumpkin ale.

Did 5 gallons brown ale today.

Just finished the wort for a porter I’ll be adding vanilla and coffee to in 2 weeks

It’s really good with tangerine instead of bitter orange, too. I use a zester or a cheese grater and about the same amount by weight as the dried orange - it’s about one of those tangerines per 5 gal, if I remember rightly.

Brewed a Blonde and used homegrown hops

Not the weekend, but brewing a cream ale right now.

Got rained out today (I’m a farmer; some things can't be done in the mud) so I took advantage of the extra time to brew.

Belgian Tripel pour moi

Chocolate oatmeal milk stout with vanilla, cinnamon and a touch of habanero

wife commented tonight, "you've been brewing a lot lately. are you really drinking that much?"

guess she's not counting.

brewing again in next few days once this pils finishes. grain is already weighed out for a marzen.

I’m brewing a lot too - it’s to lay in a supply for winter while the weather is still good.

Got a fall favorite brewing right now - the Common Room ESB.

Tell her you give out bunchs to friends. Works for me. But then she looks at my belly.....[emoji19]

Working up the energy for a Cherry Quad. Dubbel is ready to keg. Ill use that yeast cake...Wyeast 3787 Trappist. Love that yeast!

Getting together 6 friends on 3 different systems to do a "Bitches Brewday". Everyone is going to take home 2.5 gallons of a milk stout base to do something fun with!

Today is the day I get back at it. I still don’t know what I’m brewing. I do know it will use the last (5lbs) of my blueberries.

Just picked up my grains and yeast for a American Amber Ale

Brewed a German Hefeweizen today. Did a hybrid step mash and pulled a single thick decoction. Pitched the yeast at 5:02 pm, checked the fermenter at 7:00 pm and it's already bubbling. Can't wait to try this one and see if decoction made a difference. I am on a pursuit of the perfect "Hef" and I get very close but always think I can do just a little better, thus the decoction this time. Kinda like trying to spot Big Foot, or seeing the Loc Ness Monster. The perfect Hef is out there! Wish me luck!

Helped my brewpub boss knock out both a 1bbl and 2bbl batch today in 8 hours (a record for us), and got paid with a full bag of two row and enough special roast to do my Fat Bastard tomorrow. Aiming for at least 1.090 going into the fermenter to have something super strong for chilly fall evenings. Seriously considering bottling this batch because if it's in a keg, it goes fast (and so do I, straight to sleep). Also scored a brand spanking new diaphragm pump for kegging, just need to get it wired up.

Brewing a dunkelweizen. First time trying this style. Got the inspiration from the Zymurgy Sept/Oct 2018 article by Amahl Turczyn.
