Anyone brewing this Turkey week?

Brewed a American Amber ale yesterday. Have been thinking about doing a Stout on Friday also.

Did a Honey Porter yesterday. Planning on doing a Kolsch on Turkey-Day.

I've got an English Pale Ale in the Primary, which I brewed this past saturday, My first all-grain batch. I plan to do another batch of Pale Ale this Weekend, as well as a German Hefeweizen. Gotta love extra time off around the holiday!!

Getting the starter ready tue gonna brew a Brother Levonian Saison clone on Wed

My last massive brew day for X-mas. Yes I have enough time...

I am brewing up:

"Golden" ale (almost all the ingredients have the word "gold" in the name), Gingerbread ale and a Wheat Whisky winter warmer.

I will be brewing on Sunday more than likely since I will be working, feasting or hunting.

I definitely have plans to brew either Friday or Saturday (or Sunday for that matter). Just not sure what style and recipe. I do like the idea of a Black Friday IPA, since I've been wanted to do a CDA for a while now.

Its either that or I may just brew up a Haus Blonde that I havent done in a while. Im going to wait a few more weeks to do a lager, the weather still fluctuates a bit too much here.

Besides beer brewing, I have a Great Lakes Xmas clone I will be bottling/kegging, and also about 32 gallons of wine/cider in different stages that needs to be processed for Christmas gifts/January Wedding favors.

Also have a few more cornies that I need to break down/inspect/clean/replace orings.

I am definitely planning to play catchup in the brewing department this weekend. Its been neglected since I've been spending most of my time building us a new platform storage bed...

EDIT: Double post, sorry

Transferred a bath of Pumpkin Ale to a secondary last night, and am planning to build the kegerator conversion for my chest freezer this week over the holiday. Since that will give me room for 3-4 kegs in the future I might start another batch this weekend, but I need to focus on getting the cooler done. And building cabinets to go with it. And installing a sink to wash glasses. Sigh... the next batch might have to wait.

Bath of pumpkin ale? Sounds delicious, yet sticky. :cross:

Double header planned for either Friday or Saturday - as long as the FedEx truck shows up soon. A blonde for my wife, and a red for me.

If I have fermenter space, I may toss together a batch of Apfelwein as well - just because.

plan to do a winter warmer either tues or wed. Also rack chocolate stout onto some PB2.

Will probably do NB's Surley Bender AG kit on Friday or Saturday, first time brewing in almost a month I'm pretty excited.

Ginger Witbier, plus I'm bringing spiced apple ale to the big dinner.

Fermenting: Razor Wit
Bottling: Matanuska Wildberry
Drinking: As American As... Ale

Kegging 10 gallons Pale Ale and 10 of Pumpkin Ale Thursday

Need to clear fermenters for the 10 gallons of Milk Stout on Saturday and 10 of a Barley Wine on Sunday.

Let me know how that turns out.
I'm tempted to brew that one on new years day. The description at NB sounds awesome.

Going to brew 10 gallons of Apfelwein when fedex finally shows up

just mashed in an AHS winter warmer, while drinking a ryePA. It has been a pretty dang good Monday!!!

Deep frying a turkey and probably brewing a saison. My Christmas Ale should be well carbed by then so I'll have to sample a few.

Brewed an IPA with belgian yeast Saturday. That sucker is rocking- should finish up pretty quickly. I'd like to rack that over to secondary/dry hop ASAP and brew my first AG BIAB style, a cascade APA but I have no idea where I'm going to cram it in. Can't brew without SWMBO, and she's working weird hours all week. May be a very late brew day on Saturday.

All depends on who I can get in the tub with me! (sorry, I meant batch)

As I sit here sipping another glass of EdWort's Apfelwein, I have decided that I have to make another batch of this stuff this week in addition to my Kolsch.

I'm doing 10 gallons of BM's cream ale and 5 gallons of a maple pecan nut brown on Wednesday. May make another 5 gallons of hard cider too.

Just finished up a chocolate java stout in the garage (w/the door open) with a nasty rain storm coming down. Took forever to hit boiling today. But everything turned out OK other than just getting cold and wet.

Looking forward to turkey day when I can offer my guests an Irish Red Ale, a Cream Stout and a nice Copper Ale.

I was either going to brew today or tomorrow depending on how my business went. It went, so I could take care of this a bit early.

If I can get the brass gas part to make a brewery repair I'll be brewing the Westy 12 clone I have been telling myself I'd brew for the last decade.

I'm giving my son and his friends their first brewing lesson Friday. Ten gallons of Pale Ale. Think I'll forgo the drill and let them hand crank out 24lbs on the barley crusher.

Debating on whether or not to try making a quick winter holiday beer the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Just made a rauchbier.

I'm going to keep my tradition of brewing black beers on Black Friday. I'll be making an American Stout.

Dale's Pale clone on Friday and maybe something from the 'left over' grain bin Friday afternoon or Saturday.

Will brew a Flanders Red this weekend. Should be ready for next Thanksgiving.

Well, I want spent grain bread for T-giving, so I'm doing a Simcoe/Maris Otter SMASH Wed. Oh crap, that's tomorrow!

Recipe please.
Thanks

Going to do some sort of vanilla bourbon porter this weekend. Usually not a huge porter fan, and have never brewed one, but after having the ESP at Elk Head Brewing in Buckley going to give one a go

Dusseldorf Altbier.

I'm doing my first two all grain brews over Thanksgiving. An Alpha King Pale Ale clone that I converted from an extract recipe that I really liked making and attempting an Alagash White

5 gallons of Scottish Ale.

I'm doing my Northern Brewer Chinook IPA all grain kit on Turkey Day. My second all grain. The first one went fine. "knocking on wood" Wish me luck.

Teach the BIL how to brew tomorrow. My lawnmower beer - an easy one to start.
