Hoppy Red Ale is on deck for the weekend. Gonna Try Nugget, Simcoe and Mosaic.
Yea, I'll be brewing but it won't be nearly as fancy as you vets! I'll be making an Amber Ale Extract Kit. It was my first brewing attempt that was an utter failure so I'm going back to get it right (I have a wife ready to give birth to child number 2 and she loves Amber beers so by the time its ready she should be able to enjoy).
I feel so lame even saying that's what I'm making!!!

What should I brew this sat? Pref something that can use my WLP001 or 1318 slurries. Something on the more dry and mild side. About done with 10gal of Dark English Mild so probably won't be rebrewing that yet. Would do a dark lager but too lazy to build a starter...
You shouldn't feel lame by saying you're brewing this. Most all of us start with extract kits.
I'll be brewing my first All Grain kit not first all grain brew. I won Yooper's Dogfishhead clone kit but am concerned because it just isn't an exact match of her recipe.
I haven't brewed since last late Oct./early November. I have a recipe ready for a Fluffernutter Sammie Stout, but I haven't a way to control fermentation accurately and I think I have my stout fails down to S-04 yeast and temps in the mid 70's as the culprits in the tangy, metallic flavors and eventual overcarbing issues. I keep putting it off, because I have access to an old, small chest freezer that I could convert...but SWMBO isn't happy with any possible spot to locate it. Ugh.
I think I may be wearing SWMBO down...we'll see. There's a small deck, but no working power source and there's a an overly energetic dog. Same lack of power under carport and clutter that needs to be eliminated. That's a possibility, but I need to have an outlet installed. I don't want to rely on chance or up and down temps with a swamp cooler. *sigh* I'll get there, eventually.what about out back under an awning or something to that effect? Do you have a shed? There is almost nothing more important to the final product than fermentation temp control.
Just racked my wheat onto strawberries. This will be my first attempt at a fruit beer. I fermented the wheat at a higher temp for more banana flavor, so hopefully I end up with a strawberry-banana.
