So who's brewing this weekend?

We've got a club group brew on Saturday, planning on brewing my spin on Denny's First Alt (listen to the latest Experimental Brewing) and about the 5th iteration of my take on Lil Sumpin that is now nothing like Lil Sumpin! This one's getting nothing but whirlpool hops and it'll be amazeballs because I make kick a$$ beer!

The wife's going out of town so I'm going to take advantage of the time. I'm going to be brewing the west coast blaster from Brewing Classic styles and a bourbon barrel porter.

I have made that clone twice but it's been at least two years. I will need to put it in my brewing queue, behind the Two Hearted ale and 90 Minute ipa clones.

Weissbier from the Bible. Her ladyship is hop and bitterness averse but loves sours and wheats, so weissbier it is! First all electric brew so looking forward to it !

Today I brewed a Dusseldorf Altbier and for the first time I did a decoction mash and then step mash with my electric e-herms. Not to bad time wise, only added maybe about two hours to the brew day vs. a regular mash brew day. I really enjoyed it and everything went smooth. It was like a "rite of passage" becoming one with the brew and how it was done in Germany the old way. At least I told myself that while I was stirring the mash like a banshee so I wouldn't scorch the wort!

Cheers

Another two hours! That's dedication as far as I'm concerned - sounds like an all day affair.

On the other side of things, I'm planning on making a saison this weekend. I'll be doing a BIAB mash of 30 to 45ish minutes and then a 30 minute boil in an attempt to get a batch in without being rained on.

5 gallons of NB dead ringer IPA last night and 3 gallons of a tropical kettle sour going right now.

Got that great Cottage House Saison in the fermenter this morning.

Tomorrow morning...1st brew/Biab-3g. batch, Yooper's Anchor Steam/CC clone.

Welcome to the HBT community! You have picked a winner in that one. It's one of my house ales and next up for me as well.

Brewing a rye pale ale as we speak. Waiting on the boil currently

I'm prepping Saturday for brewing A Rogue Chocolate Stout clone from Brew Guru and July 2009 Zynergy. After drinking Founders Breakfast Stout and Surly Darkness, my thought is to brew something new. I'm getting kind of bored of ipa.

My two brew buddies and I will be brewing a Maibock this Saturday (15g). It will also be video recorded for one brew buddy's Homebrew shop website. A triple decoction is planned. I've done several decoctions before but not in 105 F weather... wish us luck. Texas

Munich-Wakatu SMaSH lager to brew sometime this weekend, if the kids let me that is.

Going to do my 3rd attempt at Da Yooper's pale ale. Had some extra grain so the final grist is 11# rather than ten. Also going to bring the IBU's up to 70ish and an abv% of 5.7. It will end up a session IPA I think. Oh, I am using 6oz of hops total and they are Comet and 007 (an offshoot of Idaho 7 I was told), 4oz and 2oz respectively.

It's my only brew this month... How did that happen?? Lol

I'm not brewing this weekend. But I'm trying to decide whether my next brew (maybe next weekend) will be relatively low-alcohol blonde ale (4.5%-ish) or something very much like Bell's Two Hearted (7%). I was planning on a summer session beer, but I drank a Bell's 2H a couple of days ago and it sure was good...

Brewed 16 gal of Hellas Bock, triple decoction in 6 hrs mash-in to fermenters and clean. I love technology and my brew buddies.

What a brew crew!

Tomorrow I'll be brewing a beer that I call "Hard Brexit". It's got the grain and hop bill from an Altbier but uses a British Ale yeast. It's one of my favorite beers that I've made and a crowd pleaser.

2nd pour of the summer Shandy I made a couple weeks ago! It’s delicious!

Next up - making my first Oktoberfest!

Just finishing up mash of a Belgian Wit. Of course I relied on memory of how much dried orange peel and coriander I had, of which I only actually have about half the orange peel I need. A quick run to the grocery store once the boil gets going I guess.

I have my first saison bubbling away right now. I used my standby Munich Rye PA recipe with 3711 yeast. This is the first time in a while my fermentation patience will be tested. Can't wait to try this.

Got the mash going and cooking my sparge water

Brewed a batch of Brown this morning.Prolly do same recipe next weekend,but use an English yeast.

Bottled my SHaME Nelson Sauvin 1728 today. Now I’m boiling my partigyle Wee Heavy/60 Shilling. Will pour the wort onto my SHaME yeast cakes.View attachment 581492

10 gallons. It's a lot but not excessive. Hot and cold side low oxygen. Makes a friggin amazeballs IPA.

Not too shabby for a weeknight. I have a feeling this is going to be another great IPA.

It's the start of a long weekend for me. Brewing a Kölsch, waiting for the hot break.

I just brewed a cream ale this last weekend . Can’t wait to bottle half and keg the other half. To bad I missed the deadline for the state fair oh well there is always next year!

I’m brewing a 6g AG batch of Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout for my nephews wedding in mid October. It’s an 11% ABV so I want to age it a bit.

I brewed an Irish Stout and a pale IPA a couple of weeks ago, so this weekend I'm going to split the difference and brew a Black IPA.

I wanted to this weekend but my supplies didn't show up

*VENT*
Placed an order with Hop Hero on 7/25 and no shipping info ever sent. Contacted them today and suddenly there is shipping info in my email
Placed and order with MoreBeer Sunday night and never received shipping info. Contacted them today and was told 1 item was out of stock in this warehouse but it would be shipped from the other. Now have shipping info
No explanations as to why it took so long to ship my orders
*/VENT*

Used them both before and had great dealings.

Yoppers red rocket clone this weekend. Cheers and thx yooper for posting it

Planning to brew a Dark Czech Lager tomorrow. It’s based on Pivovar Kout na Šumavě Koutský Tmavý Speciál 14°.

Time to fire up the Habanero NEIPA again.

I will be brewing my Octoberfest named Oktober's Fist.

5 gal in bottles
5 gal in fermenter

Just waiting....

Brewing a NEIPA with CTZ, Citra, Simcoe and Amarillo this Sunday y'all
