So who's brewing this weekend?

finishing up on some dry stout. wort is chilling right now, won't be ready for st patricks day but thats ok I guess

threw a brew. Franken-steam! letcha know.

Kegged my blonde last night. Just brewed up a pseudo stella. Here's hoping that with cold temps I can get super clean flavor from this pacman. I just don't have the chiller built yet, but everyone keeps shouting "LAGER!'

First weekend above freezing in Southern Minnesota so I decided to brew up 11 gallons of BierMuncher's impromptu wit. By far the best smelling brew day I've ever had!

in the boil of a Kolsch right now, my system has been stream lined pretty good and have cut about 1 - 1.5 hours off my brewday with my RIMs system and mashing in the keg, no more stuck sparges

5g Oatmeal Stout and 5g more Apfelwein Saturday. w00t

Gonna try to get a ton done this weekend. I've got some stout fermenting down in the basement, and its sitting at 58-61 with no temp control. Have to take advantage of this before it gets too warm out.

I've got a couple of batches planned this weekend. Both lagers. I'm doing BierMunchers Helles and a Czech Pilsner. The two starters are going strong.

just smacked an american ale, so I better find some time this weekend. Empty fermenters suck.

Some weird kind of chocolately barleywine to get rid of 12oz of mystery hops clogging my freezer space:

Byo's sierra nevada torpedo clone this weekend. Recipe seems a little simple but giving it a shot

Pumpkin Ale...American Amber Ale as a starting point with (hopefully) the perfect blend of spices. Got the recipe from my LHBS

Sunday I'll be brewing Papazian's Who's in the Garden Grand Cru...

I hope it'll be good...

Two-hearted inspired IPA on Sunday.

Hoping to finish moving everything around in my sig by Sunday night.

Weissbier. Considering adding some ginger but I'll see. Maybe I'll split the batch and add it to secondary.

I'm on a wheat kick - or maybe just trying to usher in Spring!

A dunkelweizen is just finishing its sparge and tomorrow I plan on brewing an American Wheat.

Brewing my Irish Honey Red for the 5th time this weekend. When it ain't broke, why fix it?

Might hold off for a day or two since I might have a new MLT tomorrow...

Brewing a single decoction - no boil berliner weiss tomorrow. Will be one of my shortest AG brewdays ever. Might also end up making a 2 gallon batch of mead and 5 gallon batch of cider.

Going to take a stab at a Sunset Wheat clone.

That is a good one! haven't brewed it in years, but really good. Might have to dust that recipe off for summer...

Doing a IPA this evening.

Doing a wheat beer that's a melding of 312 and Gumball Head with a brew buddy who'll be experiencing his first AG. Maybe bottling Ed's Haus Pale Ale.

Was gonna do my first CDA this weekend, but got into a fight with my landlord over the crackheads downstairs.... gotta spend the weekend looking for a new place to live .

I think I might just do a dry stout tonight. Not having a great week and the wife is doing some bridal shower planning with her friend for a wedding, so I should mash in after the kid goes to bed...

Hey wes, one other method to consider for souring this would be to throw in a half pound of milled grain to the fermenter. The lacto on hulls will add to the sourness.

Thanks for the additional tip bro, I'll try that. My lacto starter is smellin quite tart, never really formed a pellicle though. Guess it's saving that trick for the real brew.

A pellicle takes some time to develop. It is not a one or two week thing generally, and I have never gotten a pellicle from just lacto. Others have, but not me...

I hit up the LHBS and got ingredients for my a Blonde Ale

8 lbs of 2-Row
2 lbs of Vienna
.5 Cara-Munich
.5 10L Crystal

.5 oz of Galena @ 55
.5 oz of Galena @ 35
.5 oz of Cascade @ 15
.5 oz of Cascade @ 5

2 step infusion at 113 & 152 for 30 minutes and in 50 days we will be pounding my first kegged batch at my wedding rehearsal dinner!

Just finished brewing up a partial mash of the English Pub Ale from the HBT Recipe Database/English Pale Ale category.

Definately can't wait for this one to be ready to drink!

Hmm... maybe... "Rock It Fuel"! :rockin:

Just fed the cyser it's third and final 1.5lbs of honey.

My brew closet is full of carbing beer and this cyser. But I think my cold room might be the right temp for kolsch yeast. Time to start thinking about what I can do there.
