So who's brewing this weekend?

Just did a monday mash in. Well in was a extract so not really a mash in. Did a grapefruit pale ale. Its been awhile since i have done a extract batch.

Well got the IPA bug last weekend so it'll be a full on American IPA this weekend!

I'm planning to brew this Friday. I have everything for Randy Mosher's Fruitcake Old Ale ready to go. It should have enough time to age in order to be ready for Christmas!

16 gallon batch of 1.100 imperial stout that is headed for a bourbon barrel....should be awesome.

I'm getting up stupidly early Saturday morning to brew 2 batches. First is going to be a mini-mash milk stout that I plan to add cold brewed coffee to at bottling. Then I will tackle an all grain New England IPA.

I want to dough in as the first boil is finishing up so I can cool and pitch during mash of brew 2. Using the same yeast (WY1318) for both, so I am doing another starter step up tomorrow.

I'm probably gonna give my NEIPA another try. First try was bottle conditioned, this one will be kegged. See if there is any difference.

Care to share your hoping schedule. I've got my grain bill set, still tinkering with hops. Was thinking following:

1oz ea Citra & Mosaic at 10min left of boil

1oz ea Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy whirlpool starting at 175 for 20 min.

1oz ea Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy dry hop 72 hrs after pitching

1oz ea Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy dry hop 11 days after pitching (3 days before bottling)

Thanks for the reply. Seems like I'm in the ballpark. Still may play with it slightly.

Propane filled. Ingredients ready. Should be good to go Sunday morning.

Time for another dark mild, maybe I can get my volumes right this time. And if the volumes are off I will just have to drink the Beer. Sometimes it is tough being a adult!

Seriously contemplating giving a NE IPA a try this weekend

Do it. Drink it fast. What hop combo are you thinking? Cashmere and mosiac? Galaxy and citra? Idaho7 and Amarillo?

Thinking citra, galaxy, and either mosaic or simcoe

basic ipa - malt bill tailored to the tastes of the person it is being made for

11.5 lb 2-row
1 lb Munich
.38lb 60 L
.25 lb carapils

60 and 20 min additions - Columbus

Flame out Amarillo & Cascade

Hop Stand and Dry Hop both Amarillo, Cascade, and Chinook

Nothing amazing, but I get to brew!!!

Sweet! Got a Belgian dubble going now as a yeast cake for a quad. Eventho your from Badger country, love to hear the results! Go Big Red!!

Might do a 5 gallon IPA with 2 row, Victory, and Chinook...

If time is in my favor, I might have the chance to do a Chocolate Cherry Stout.

Brewing a Porter. Going to try and age it a little with some oak chips soaked in bourbon. We'll see how it goes.

Will be brewing my hoppy but not bitter red. Excited for this first test batch to see how it goes. Looking to get balance between the complex malt bill and simplified hops. Thinking it will turn out great, but here's hoping.

Doing a little brew thing with my club at our local brewery called Mega Brew. 350 gallons of Grapefruit Session IPA goodness.

Brewing up a 10 gal batch of a summer wheat. Banking on warmer weather soon!

Probably brew a faux-Marzen tomorrow. Likely drink it before Oktoberfest.

Maybe I'll do the ESB instead. I'll decide later.

Hoping to do a garbage can brew to use up hops. I will be brewing it tomorrow if I get any good suggestions from my post.

brewing an English IPA tomorrow. Golden Promise and a ton of citra, hoping for something similar to Todd the Axeman

Brewing a NEIPA. First time yeast starter (Vermont) with stir plate. All grain. Dry hopping and second fermenting in Keg.

Cheers!

10G Coffee Stout.

Here is the hydrometer sample from my NEIPA. First all grain brew under my belt. Was a weird day in regards to my numbers on both the batches I did today, but I'll mull that over and start a new thread.

Doing an all Citra IPA tomorrow. First brew since Jan. 2nd. Glad it is finally getting warm out, so I can get back to brewing. The pipeline is starting to dry up.

Brewed a dark English mild i am relearning the Process as I moved Up to 10 Gallon Batches with a pot With a different aspect ratio. So My volumes a all F--- up. In the end it should be a 3.5% beer Which is fine. Damned I feel like I am on my second batch of beer instead of 50 something.

Heating strike water for my first attempt of a NE IPA. I'm giving Braufessor's updated recipe a try.

Just brewed up a single-hop Columbus IPA this morning, into the fermenter an hour ago. This has been my go-to IPA for a while, made a few changes today to see what kind of difference it makes (different crystal malt, different hop schedule). Cheers!

I'm debating if I should brew a Session IPA (really a Pale Ale IMO) or a NEIPA... Decisions, decisions, decisions... Such a hard hobby! LOL

Im hoping to brew this weekend for sure. A SMASH pale using marris otter and this batch of experimental hops from south Africa i got.

I have a nice light beer planned for this weekend. 10 lbs pale, .5 honey .5 crystal 60. Pair it with some citra and Idaho 7.
