So who's brewing this weekend?

Murphy's Irish Stout tonight. Hit my numbers then remembered the sugar. BIAB efficiency is great on these smaller beers.

Putting in some work this weekend. Brewing for a big party and I have three 11 gallon batches and one 6 gallon batch planned for this weekend, so two per day. Pretty much all weekend dedicated to brewing so wish me luck!

Good luck!! You will be in need of a weekend to recover from your weekend.

I am making it 8 straight weekends brewing... Whew. Gonna make a California common, or my best recipe, for the 3rd time this year!

Then I am hibernating...

Brewing a 6g AG batch of my OAB House APA.
Planning an early AM start to beat the heat!

I got 8oz of El Dorado in I would like to brew 5gal of NE IPA with it alone

Got a brew planned for Sunday. I'm calling it Breakfast in Belgium. It'll be a rather standard Belgian Dark Strong with coco nibs, maple syrup, honey and chocolate coffee beans.

Doing 15 gallons of American Adjunct Lager tomorrow to feed the masses. Going to get an early start. Got my cans of creamed corn ready to mash in with the grain.

Brewing Monday,.a rye saison that will be blended with my all-lactose sour rye saison onto peaches and raspberries.

That poor dry stout! What did it do to you?!

Brewing a cream ale featuring Nelson

Brewing sunday. My homebrew club is having a octoberfest contest. Everyone had to pick a german style. I picked maibock but i will be turning half into a Eisbock. Hope it ready by then.

Today was the best brew day I've had in a long time.
93% mash efficiency. No crazy mishaps. Just straight brewing beer.

1.051 pale ale/Brett pale ale split batch

I just put 15 gals of American Lager in the fermenter, kegged 15 gals of red, kegged 15 gals of pale ale, cleaned the rig, cleaned all the kegs and fermenters, and smoked a roast. Time for a break and a beer.

Just got a bit under 4 gal of California common first runnings. Sparging now with 4 more gallons.

4 batches brewed this weekend. What a feeling of accomplishment.

That's perfect for our new Home Brew Trade thread if you're interested. Fellowship of the Home Brew I

We're off to Oregon Brewfest on Friday for my birthday (yes I will be taking notes on what I may want to try to brew myself!), and I've been instructed, nay, ordered, to brew this Sunday. Going to go off the sheet with a recipe I completely made up myself, a golden ale with raspberries after primary to make something that will taste like a raspberry scone. I've got some solid advice from people here and hope this one will be great. Just need to make a quick trip for the adjunct grains and it's on like donkey kong.

A take on Dogfish 120 is going down on Friday, starter is in the works as I type.

I ordered 3 more kegs, another chronical, and the brewpi v3. On top of having the week off of work, it'll be a great brewing time!

Ten Fidy Imperial Stout clone coming up.

Mmmm, I'd be interested in how this turns out. It's one of my favorites.

Going to brew the BCS Uncommonly Lucky California Common. Going to switch the 1 min hop addition from Northern Brewer to Cascade, which is idea I got from Martin B. And Mr Malty himself approved of this plan. Really name dropping today

Brewing my 2nd batch and my first sour/kriek on Sunday!! NB's Dawson's Kriek.

Brewing an Oktoberfest Sat

We lost our 9 year old English Bulldog this week so I'm making an English IPA and calling it Bulldog Slobber in his honor.

If you're familiar with the bread you'll understand the name!

Sorry for your loss. I've got two "senior citizens" myself, a 17 year old cat that we've had for 16 years and an 11 year old Welsh Corgi/Yellow lab mix. When they cross the bridge I'm definitely going to need to brew something to get my mind off the grief and have something in their honor. Black IPA for the cat (she's black and her name is India) and something light and tasty for the dog, using something Slavic like Saaz as her name is Sasha. Now I'm sad. But your dog looks like it was a cutie.

I have brewed a couple of memorial beers for my departed animals. It's just a great​way to be remember and honor them.

So sorry for your loss Murphy...

15 gals of IPA planned for Saturday. That's 60 gals in July. I put AC in garage/brewery and it is really paying off. Otherwise, I'd never brew this much in the summer.

Post-fermentation pipeline is full, gotta do something that can do some time in the fermentors 'til consumption catches back up to brewing.
So a 10 gallon batch of 1.107 og chocolate stout is happening Sunday (SUNDAY! SUNDAY!! )

I love doing this recipe - right up to where I have to lug the MLT out to the compost pile. Woof...

Cheers!

Mashing a festbier now

Almost ready to sparge. I usually brew early morning but am doing an evening brew due to my child's swim meet. Pretty excited to brew at night.

Brewed first time on my upgraded rig today. No sparge 4 life. Takes about 1/4 of the total brew day workload away for a minor loss of efficiency.

Brewed a German Dunkel today. 5.5 Gallons and already showing signs of life in the fermentor.

11 gallons of my house ale today, nice day to brew, 82 and lower humidity!

About 6 minutes left before whirlfloc addition on my Raspberry Golden Ale, then 30 more minutes in the boil before flameout. On good advice, didn't add any fruit to the boil, will add it after 5 days of fermentation with some dried orange peel for more flavor. Went to Oregon Brewfest this weekend and had a LOT of great beer, also got really pi**ed at Amtrak for their train being 4+ hours late, getting us home about 11:30PM instead of the 8pm we were planning on. Next year will just drive like we have before. Walked a LOT as well.

Just put 3G Cream Ale in fermentor.

Shiner Clone in BIAB right now :rockin:

I was going to, but it is too darn hot.

Decided to wire in a new fixture first... That has now become an all day job. Maybe I'll brew later tonight.

Brewing a Belgian Pale Ale today. Still working on the recipe, but here's what I have so far:

70% 2 Row
15% Wheat
7% Munich 10
5% Victory
3% Aromatic
Hallertauer Trad @ 60 & 1
Sterling @15
