So who's brewing this weekend?

Labor Day I may do my first octoberfest as that's right around the corner

White pepercorn rye saison sometime this weekend

Five days ago I brewed an extract nut brown ale with 30% brown rice syrup.
Today I'm brewing an all-grain saison with 20% rice malt.

My brother and I will brew on the holiday. He is doing an ESB and I will most likely do an English brown ale.

If the kit comes in time, I'll brew a lemon lavender saison on Labor day!

I am hoping to do a saison this weekend. I have been planning to brew for the last couple of weekends but things keep coming up.

Brown ale

My favorite seasonal beer, did you make your own recipe or use a kit?

Octoberfest this weekend, just kegged an Idaho 7 pale ale yesterday and something dark in another 2 weeks. Getting the kegs nice and ready for football season.

Altbier. Man, oh man, was my starter happy. Vigorous fermentation in the starter.

I've got the bill ready for a six gallon bitter that was originally planned as a 3.4 gallon SMaSH Maris Otter and El Dorado until I was informed by a couple of people that El Dorado leans heavily toward watermelon candy, which killed any urge I have to even open the bag. So I'm throwing in a bit of crystal and hopping with Williamette and Nugget instead.

I'm also making 5.5 gallons of a Golden Promise/Azacca pale, just because I've wanted to try both the malt and the hop and got some Azacca in a hop shipment recently. Otherwise, bittering with Warrior and supplementing the malt with a bit of Crystal LV ~20 for color.

Doing an extract imperial stout recipe from the lhbs... looking forward to this one

What the heck... You only live once!

Just decided to do an APA on Sunday as well.

I have an Oktoberfest planned for Sunday. It will be my first lager and i am going yo try out the quick lager method. I am excited to see how it turn out but not so much for the 6 week turn around. Maybe santa will bring me kegging stuff for Christmas.

This Sunday my neighbor and I are going to brew 20 gallons. 10 of Caribou Slobber and 10 of Oatmeal Stout.

My first 10gal batch of (hoping)House Pale Ale on my new 16gal Kettle!.😆

Changed my mind and will do 5 gallons of Raspberry porter and 5 gallons of Blueberry blonde over Sunday & Monday. Tomorrow is shopping and cleaning the brewery day.

Planned to brew tomorrow morning while watching college game day, but things came up so I'm brewing tonight!! Late night brewing is quite peaceful!

Got 15gals of Maris Otter EKG SMaSH going. About to throw a couple racks of ribs and an elk tenderloin on the smoker.

Brewing my Broken Zipper ESB. As we speak. Hopefully I will get a glass of it this go around. My son drank the whole keg last time I brewed it while I was on vacation.

I brewed a Maris Otter Amarillo smash yesterday while I was working from home. It's happily bubbling away in the fermentor now.

I might make this my working from home rititual on fridays.

Just put WLP380 into the fermenter. 10 G lemon lime hefeweizen. Cant wait to try it out...

Cream Ale yesterday. Need to check supplies before deciding on a recipe for tomorrow. Whatever it is will need to use S-04, 'cause that's what I have on hand.

Getting ready to brew up a Pilsner with a little twist. Adding some CaraHell to the Grist and some cascade to the finishing hops. Hopefully it still has that Pilsner crispness to it but with a little something extra in the flavor department

I've used Carahell in a couple of DIPA's and loved the flavor it produced, more malty sweetness than you get with the standard Caramel malts. About 8% of the grain bill, if I remember correctly. Hope this turns out well for you.

Thanks for the input! I only used 4.5% of the total bill so it should be very little added flavor but hopefully it's noticeable

Have a BIAB version of Cheesefood's Caramel Vanilla Cream Ale going as I type.

Things are moving along well today. First time brewing with my new assistant! View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1504474196.490659.jpg
And a nice HB Chocolate Milk Stout while I wait for the boil to endView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1504474242.513923.jpg

I was going to brew today... woke up with a sinus headache from hades. My area has been in and out of air quality warnings due to the Canadian fires and it is doing a number on my head. Can smell constant wood smoke smell in the background. So push it off to Tuesday because I have to smoke a turkey tomorrow.

I brewed a NE IPA Saturday night. Bubbling away happily now. Almost time for the first dry hop.

Yesterday my brother and I brewed A saison, Pale Ale and an Oktoberfest ale. Took way to long on one burner (didn't have our second one with us).

My brother and I are doing an ESB and an APA. Also using one burner but we do have a 15 gal pot to heat strike and sparge water for both mashtun. That speeds it up a bit.

Yeah we usually have 2 but my brothers broke. Time for me to just make my sculpture. $$$$$

5 gallon blonde just turned into my first partigyle batch. Session will be an IPA bittered with Columbus and flavor/aroma with Mosaic, if it gets that far. Still in the mash tun right now, will see how it goes.

I'm brewing a bitter this Sunday. Would actually prefer to brew the oatmeal stout I have planned, but I need the cake for a barley wine before the good weather's over!

Brewed 10 gallons of IPA this past rainy Sunday. First time brewing with flaked oats. Was worried about a stuck sparge. Pleasantly surprised bent went off without a hitch. First time for doing 2 hop stands. Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

Got a new stove coming tomorrow, definitely planning to brew this weekend!

Might be a "hurricane" brown ale this weekend. That is if we have power, cause that beyotch Irma might ruin the weekend.

Doing Krausenous Funk - 9.0% DIPA.
