Rauchbier today. Going to be more aggressive with the hops than usual. Tell me what kind to use.
Brewing a Shock Top clone right now. About to start chilling. Wife has been asking when I'll be done. I told her I'll be done when I get done.

Started 2x 2.5 gallon batches of New World Cider (haven’t decided yet if I will keg them as-is or experiment with flavoring in secondary).
Kegged a gallon of lingonberry cider. And kegged ~4.5 gallons of salted caramel cider using a recipe posted by @Rish. Both of those should be ready to tap in about 2 weeks.
And of course, post-brew cleanup…

Planning to brew the reverse-engineered Tellen Faux buckwheat "lager" Sunday. Cereal mashing the buckwheat, keeping the overall mash temps high - but not too high - for better body using the Lutra yeast - all pretty complex for a novice such as myself; we'll see how this batch turns out.

Had a double brew day last weekend. First beer was my L'internationale Saison. I ferment with bootleg's Saison Parfait sach yeast and Bootleg's Funk Weapon #3 brett mix, co-pitched. The 2nd brew was a german pilsner step mashed, and whirlpooled with some homegrown hops.
Having coffee and just started my mash - Robust Porter is on the menu for today's brew.
Was supposed to brew my Laison .. yes a Saison/Lager Experiment that was a total hit. but I dont have enough time so instead just to make beer I'm gonna whip up a kit brew .. a golden Lager that I will modify in some way, shape and form.
Grodziskie day. Here’s the grain:
Just mashed in on another version of cream ale. For this one I'm using both flaked corn in the mash and dextrose in the boil, to double-down on the corn flavor/aroma. Last keg of it kicked the other night, will ferment this one under pressure on 34/70 with an eye to having it done in a week or so. So yes, not technically an 'ale', but the last few batches with 34/70 have been very tasty.
Steam beer today. Mashing in!

Hi, I'm brewing a Tripel this weekend. 10 gallons using 20lbs of pils 5lbs of vienna 2lbs of aromatic 1 lb victory 2lbs of table sugar. 2oz of nugget 15.2 aa at boil and 2oz of saaz 2.5 aa at 60 mins 5 gl's with Imperial tripel/double yeast and 5 gl's using safbrew be-256. What do you think, and will this turn out?
Some will probably come here to post that a Tripel should be Pilsner malt and sugar, only. I like the idea of the Vienna addition; the aromatic (and maybe the victory) could be overkill. You want it to be high-alcohol but also easy-drinking.
Do you mean Nugget at 60 minutes (that is, 60 minutes left in the boil), and Saaz at flame-out (0 minutes left in the boil)? That should do fine.
I like Triple Double, but haven't used BE-256. The Internet is not so helpful on whether or not it is diastatic. If you haven't gone shopping yet, may I recommend Lallemand Abbaye?
I brewed five gallons of a 4% 20 IBU light lager last week. I pitched one WLP-833 pure pitch. It fermented fast in the low 60s at 15 psi in my allrounder. It's just a starter.
Yesterday I brewed a Festbier. I pressure transfered the light lager to a keg as the Festbier chilled. Then I pumped the festbier right in without even cleaning the allrounder. Today I have nearly 15 gallons fermenting strong.
I need a bigger kegerator and more kegs. They are all full.

I might ask you for input on a margarita-lime gose that I'd like to brew for my wife.
I often use a bit of Wheat malt in the grain bill and very few added sugar. I also like the idea of Vienna but with the aromatic it might be too much indeed. It has to be subtle imho. I usually use Fermentis T58 (BE-256 or S-33 are great yeasts as well for tripels) as the main yeast but I recently found interest in the WLP720. That is the one I used in the experimental one (now in secondary with a bit of hops for a week).

Adjunct lager made with purple corn. Here’s the wort, pre-boil. It’ll actually get brighter after fermentation as the pH drops:
Purple beer, yummy!
This is what the last batch looked like.
Brewing the Laison on friday. The 6 week journey will begin with the Saison fermentation followed up by the lager fermentation a week or so later. Then the lagering 10 days later.

First attempt at a Weizenbock tomorrow
Very interesting, love the color! What is the base beer?
It’s an adjunct lager, so English pale, about 1/3 purple corn, and just a touch of Munich. Somewhat aggressive with Lotus and Bergamot at 5 minutes, but not into cold IPA territory. Too hoppy for a cream ale, not quite as bitter as a New Zealand Pils (and the hops are from the wrong side of the world), not malty enough for a blonde.
Brewed a British Brown last weekend and going to whip up a small batch of Witbier this weekend and if I get my butt to Aldi, also going to do a small batch of New World Cider.
Got some vacation coming up, and will be brewing a Session IPA for it this weekend, then will be brewing more during vacation.
Brewing one gallon of Vienna lager. Marynka, Saaz, and Contessa hops. I collect hops the way some people collect baseball cards.
I'm going to be cooking up a Ukrainian Imperial Stout fka "Putin Has a Small D**k" Stout. Had to scale this one down from 400L to 6.5 gallons! A double whammy. Why don't we go metric????
If you can get your hands on some Lublin/Lubelski hops, they have a really nice lavender thing going on. Enough so that you could use then instead of actual lavender, or to complement.
I noticed this is page 666 of this thread. 
Anyway, I plan to make a take on the Cream of Three Crops for a Octoberfest coming up next month. Also hopefully put together a wash for a neutral/gin to be.
