So who's brewing this weekend?

Heating the strike water for 10 gallons of my honey irish red. Later start than I wanted, but at least I'm brewing today and not doing house projects....wait...damn....

Mashing an American Wheat Ale for SWMBO as we speak. Also putting together a marinade for some chicken legs & thighs for tonite's dinner.

I bottled an AG batch of Denny's Rye IPA yesterday. Today I and brewed Jamil's Hop Bursting recipe (American Amber), also AG. I previously have brewed the Northern Brewer extract kit based on this recipe called Evil Twin. I'm real curious to see how this compares.

I'm brewing a Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout clone today, so I'm pretty stoked. I've already toasted the oats--just waiting for the strike water to cool to the correct temp.

I've been looking to brew a honey Irish Red. Can you post your recipe?

obliged!

Just put a batch of Rye IPA Partial Mash kit from Northern Brewer in my primary fermenter. Added 0.5oz of Kent Goldings I had left over from making Graff at 5 mins left in the boil, and will dry hop with an extra 2oz of Amarillo. 5.5 oz of hops total. Should be amazing!

Also bottled my first batch of Graff. Tastes great already. Primed with 40 oz of apple juice.

Kegging my Southern English Brown right now and will be starting s Sweet Stout shortly.

Boiling an Abby Weis at the moment. 72 minutes to go

Cooper's Sparkling Ale Clone is now done!

I never brew on weekends.....but I brewed a batch of a Founder's Breakfast Stout clone yesterday. Does that count? Maxed out my "big orange" 10 gal. Rubbermaid MLT....the worst part was when I had to lift it from a chair to a bench. I managed, but that pretty much maxed me out.

I'm planning a pretty successful brew weekend, hoping to accomplish:

5g MO/cascade(?) SMaSH - First SMaSH brew, and I have a bunch of whole cascades have been in the freezer awhile.
5g Edwort's Apfelwein
5g Boddingtons clone

Friday's my only real day off, so it's my default brewing day. Brewing Over-The-Fence Weissbier this Friday. Racking Brevis Bock to secondary for a long lagering phase on Saturday.

Doppelbock on Saturday night, under the lights.

This is a long thread!

I'm brewing something. I have ingredients for 5 different recipes. One will be converted into a bucket full of beautiful bubbling wort.

Traditional Bock
Robust Porter
Hop Head Double IPA
Fat Tire Clone
Drop Top Clone

I'm leaning towards the porter.

Coffee Porter on Sunday morning. Hopefully I'll get around to racking my RIS to Secondary today, but I've been saying that all week

brewing up the AHS warrior pale ale sat or sunday afternoon.

Since I just got back from Munich, I'm going to brew a nice Helles..I'll lager it for 6 weeks..Man, I hate waiting..

Going to try my first all-grain. Midwestsupplies kit: Hop Head Double IPA. Maybe some foosball at the same time. Sh*t's gonna get crazy.

Going to brew an English Mild friday after work. Boss asked me to come in at 8. Means I get out 30 minutes earlier which means 30 minutes earlier brewing.

Got discouraged and didn't brew for a bit because I had a funky off flavor I couldn't place. Got a new water filter and hoping that fixes it, brewed an IPA this past weekend and going to brew a red soon. Maybe tonight. Late night brew? Hrmmm...

Late night brewing... never again. :cross: I wound up awake till 4am.... not because of the brew, but because I decided, what a wonderful time to free up some of my bottles by drinking them! HAHA! My husband watched on as I stumbled through the mash and boil while changing into my "Cat Woman" costume, dancing on the table, and doing a can can dance as I pitched the yeast.... Late night never again...

Im Brewing!
I will be brewing an English Amber and a Nut Brown.

I'm brewing up something loosely based on Rouge's Shakespeare Stout.

I'll be adding the columbus, chinook, and fuggles for dry hopping the IPA. Hop devil style malt profile with Chinook, Columbus, cascade, and fuggles in the flavor section to give a hint of fruit. I'm really looking forward to trying it. The Fall is particularly great for brewing.

I'll be mixing up my first batch of apfelwien. Mid week I'll be bottling my First Born Pale Ale, and the following weekend I'll be refilling my primary with some Punkin Porter
