So who's brewing this weekend?

Brewed a Dortmunder last weekend, this weekend brewing a North German Altbier.

I have a Bohemian Pilsner going. Bohemian Rhapsody, brewed while listening to Queen.

Did my first decoction mash, a double decoction. Over shot preboil by 10 points....
I figured out why I overshot. I had the recipe for 90 minute boil and needing 8.19 gallons but was thinking 7.1 gallons and a 60 minute boil so I had not collected enough wort.

Will add some water after the boil to correct OG and see how much I get.

Torn between another batch of my Hibiscus and Black Currant Hefe, or Nelson Sauvin IPA. Either way, one of 'em is happening Saturday

Have you tried the Hi Nelson Saison w/Hibiscus? Really, REALLY good! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=474462

My club will be brewing ~20-30 gallons of Dampfbier as a group.

Brewing up a malty Belgian pale ale on Saturday at an event hosted by a local brewery.

Free ingredients are fun.

I have not tried that, it does look amazing! That's a great color, it actually looks a lot like my hefe!
I'm not big into saisons personally, but about 7 out of 10 of the regulars around my keezer are haha.
I think I'll give it a shot once my brew schedule opens up in May.
(Countless events I'm brewing for at the moment)

Brewing up another batch of my tangerine creamsicle. I am hoping it will be enough to last through the summer, but I doubt it.

Not this weekend but brewed a 6 g AG batch ofMosaic/Citra IPA today w/ my daughter.
Up next is a Grapefruit Wheat IPA w/ grapefruit experimental hops.

Gonna squeeze in a nice late nice sesh on Friday (Kama Citra IPA) before the Wife whisks me off to a couples retreat....... [emoji30][emoji379]

Brewing 10 gal. of Sweet Summer Ale for my SWMBO on Thursday.

Buddy and I are brewing for the first time in 2015. It's been a long time coming. It's our own recipe single hopped (Comet) American Pale Ale we're naming Carl after Carl Sagan (comets... Carl Sagan.... Get it? xD)

We were going to single hop with Bravo and name it Johnny, but we read that Bravo was a fairly bland flavor hop.

Just pitched yeast on Fat Tire Clone. Yay for being retired and brewing when we want to!

Decided to go with 3 oz Kohatu and just a smidge under 3 oz Azacca, mostly because I realized I didn't have as much Kohatu as I thought I did, but also because I wasn't sure I wanted to bank so much on one hop I haven't used before.

Not brewing, but bottling 6 gallons of Cascade IPA. It is cold crashing at the moment & tomorrow it gets some gelatin & bottle Sunday, I am so ready to taste this one.

I know some say not to use gelatin on an IPA but the last one I made was a Columbus IPA & I used gelatin, it was crystal clear & all the hops you wanted, it was my best brew to date.:rockin: Hope this one is even better.

I've used gelatin in IPAs with no ill effects. I only use it when I use a low flocc yeast though.

With IPAs I generally gelatin and then cold crash before the dry hop. After the gelatin stage I let it warm up again and dry hop. Cold crash one more time to rack it and you have a nice clear, hoppy IPA.

I plan on making a 50/50 (White Wheat/2-Row) this weekend. Decided to try a new yeast, for me anyway. Does anyone have any experience with Belgian Ale Yeast - M27? Farmhouse also had a new hops, Belma. Looking to get some fruity flavors.

Grapefruit bomb. Ipa with tangerine, grapefruit and orange peel. Mosaic, Citra, centennial and summit

I am curious about the sd slims lemon shandy. Could you post the receipe?

Did 9 gallons of a Scottish 70 shilling Saturday, 2-5 gallon fermenters still bubbling away.

Bottled Pliny clone and Yeungling lager last week
Yeungling Ale conditioned (split batch w/ale yeast on this)
Irish red in keg
Session IPA in keg

I'll be brewing a German Pilsner.

I brought my Belgian pale ale out of a cooler environment a couple of days ago and there are small bubbles stacking up in the airlock, like honeycomb...so I guess it's still going...slowly. Needs to go from 1.020 (last SG check) to 1.009 (estimated)...so, I'm just going to let it keep rolling in primary several more days.

brewing a 1140 barleywine sunday morning

bock.

100% german munich, double decoction, two hour boil. 1.067

American brown ale, with a buttload of Simcoe

Kick-@ss brew day. I finally got the bugs worked out of my new setup, and I went from burner on to everything done in 3.5 hours. Fastest brewday ever. Another hour for cleanup, and I was start to finish in 4.5 hours. I even remembered to gather the leftover wort that gets left in the lines and in the plate chiller, and I just pressure cooked it for later use in a starter. Sweet.

Rebrewing an ESB for the 2nd round if NHC

I'm doing a Russian Imperial Stout with Jalapeno

Brewed 2 10 gallon batches today. Knocked out my blonde ale and a Zombie Dust clone.

Brewing a Bell's Two-Hearted Clone tomorrow.

Attempting to make Riesling tomorrow and bottle a Moscato.

Gonna cook up my first Refectory Ale and an ESB-ish batch tomorrow.
The starters look like they're almost ready for crashing...

Cheers!

[edit]Done and done. And I'm totally gassed.

Time for a beer!

Have everything to make a barley wine I just have to wait. Hopeful for next weekend

Just started the mash on an APA.
