So who's brewing this weekend?

[Nightbiker]

A couple of batches of my simple lawnmower ale, and I'll have all 5 kegs (promised kegs) to take to the BMW Motorcycle rally in North Fla. in a couple more weeks. The next weekend I'll refurbish and keg everything, carbonate for a week and get ready to enjoy a lot of beer with some great people I see about well, once a year.

 

[masonsjax]

I might brew on Monday. Not sure what yet.

 

[corkybstewart]

I hope to be able to brew my brett & fruit experiments.
10 gallons of Belgian blonde, around 1.070 OG fermented with WLP 500 with brett added at about 1.040. 5 gallons will get racked onto crabapples, 5 gallons onto cherries for extended secondaries.

 

[cclloyd]

Brewing an Oatmeal Stout (a variation on Yooper's recipe - thanks Yoop!!) and bottling a Brown Mild. Using the London Ale III yeast from the mild for the stout.

 

[Bradinator]

Last brew of 2011 today! I am going to make a sightly modified version of BM's Hooked on Bitters (a bit less toasted malt).

 

[SUDDZIES]

Brewing tommorow, two seperate brews simultaniously, while expaining to a few non-home brewers what I'm doing, and enjoying a few pints.

#1 - 10 gallon all grain house APA

#2 - 5 gallon mini-mash Baltic Porter

Starting at noon and have dinner reservations at 8. Gonna be a buisy afternoon!!!

 

[HokieBrewer]

Well my LHBS didn't have 3711, so my spring Saison is on hold. A Belgian Dark Strong is taking its place. First time brewing one, pretty excited!

 

[wolverinebrewer]

I'm in need of a good session brew so it's going to be a Falconer's 7C's pale ale on Sat. Getting ready to chill the growler of washed 05 and I just put 11 lbs. through my Cereal Killer for the 2nd time using it. I love that thing!

 

[badhabit]

Last brew of the year will be a Kolsch, tomorrow.

 

[Misplaced_Canuck]

First two brews of the year (on NY's day!) will be an Irish red (I've never made one, oddly enough) and another IPA (Combo of Chinook, Columbus and Calypso).

[nrock74]

Last brew of the year tomorrow, doing two 5gallon batches, a nut brown ale and a straight up wheat beer.

 

[brewtus_]

All Amarillo IPA on the 31st.

 

[dougdecinces]

New Years Brew! 5.5 gallons of a maibock. I love me a good maibock.

 

[bkorver]

Just got done with my last brew day of 2011. Double Mocha Porter, man does it smell good!

 

[907brewer]

I'm brewing a 3gal batch of imperial stout, my first attempt at a stout. Hopefully it turns out well. First batch with the use of my corona mill contraption so we'll find out what my efficiency is...

 

[Cimerian]

I'm going to brew even if it kills me. They say what you do on new years you end up doing all year long.

 

[EllisTX]

Brewed this week so I could just relax this weekend. Brewed Yoopers Pale Ale Tues and an Imperial Brown today. Yoop's Pale went into the fermeter perfectly but I missed on my brown by 10 pts. It will still be a good 7% hoppy brown though.

 

[dcs12345]

Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier clone from AHB.

It is my first 5 gallon brew. I was going to do an Aventinus clone, but decided to do the Weihenstephaner instead (it is cheaper )

I don't have a wort chiller so I planned on cooling to take a while. For some reason it just wasn't getting colder than 120 after sitting in a cold spot for a few hours. Ends up that my digital thermometer wasn't working....

I almost have enough bottles for it, I think I am about 6 bottles short. I guess I will buy a few of the real thing so I can compare it to the HB.

Mmmmm, homework.

 

[Whut]

Brewed 5.5g of Lemon Wheat today. Weekend plans include brewing another 15g and making jerky.

 

[Wolfhound180]

First brew with SWMBO tomorrow. Caribou Slobber AG. I'm looking forward to teaching her all that I know!

 

[Stauffbier]

My grain shipment didn't make it on time... I guess i won't be brewing until next year

 

[misterlippy]

Roasted jalapeno IPA....loves me a lil heat

 

[badbrew]

Stone's pale ale clone extract w/grains recipe with WY1098 (instead of WY1968) and Briess gold LME (instead of light LME).

 

[mjdonnelly68]

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope you all have a great 2012.

To celebrate the new year I'm in the middle of brewing a batch of First Day Fat Tire.

 

[tochsner]

Heating the water for "Bulldog" my American IPA as I type. Happy New Year to you all. Thank you for all your help this year.

Rescue Dog River

 

[Stauffbier]

I got my Dark Chocolate Stout in the mash right now!

 

[Beernip]

Got my big English Barleywine done and pulled a Mild out of the third runnings. Long brew day but a lot of fun.

 

[smokinghole]

I woke up and decided to brew up an IPA today. I needed something hoppy in a fermentor anyway. I think this will be a triple brew week for me. I see an English Bitter also in my near future.

 

[jonmohno]

It was still the weekend for me so: I made a Porter-its gonna be good. It better.My first one. I realized i had alot of dark malt dormant for too long. I wasnt impressed with my first few stouts,but that was then-now its go time...

 

[supe_kitchen]

Breaking out the Christmas gifts, gonna do a weizenbock ale in my new better bottle and make a huge starter for this big brew with my new stir plate. Love playing with Christmas toys.

 

[Brewenstein]

Tried my hand at a Scottish ale yesterday afternoon / evening. Was supposed to be a 70/-. Took 1 gallon of the first runnings and boiled it down to 1/2 gallon and added it back to the main boil which was for 90 min. Started with 7 gallons total, ended with 5 (as planned). Based it on 75% eff. but got about 88%! Of course this was the one time I did not take a pre-boil gravity reading, so I ended up with 1.050 and more of an 80/- beer. Decided not to add water and just leave it.

 

[maltbarleyhops]

brewing "Dont Spilzen the Pilzen" this saturday. last batch lasted 2 weeks.

 

[Andrewtherooster]

My buddy and I are making a 10% RIS this weekend that we're going to add DME and Turbinado to while in primary with the goal of fermenting something to about 15% abv. Let's hope it works!

 

[Reno_eNVy]

If my 20psi propane hose shows up by Saturday (3-5 days shipping my tookus, more like 7-10) I'll be brewing the first batch on my new toys I got for Christmas.

Wrote up an all-cascade Cascadian Dark Ale with 15.8oz of hops.... 15.5oz of which will be added throughout 15min, 10min, 5min, flame-out and dry hop additions.



Also, I should mention that it should be Cascadian Dark Ale. Here's why:

1) Respect the region in which it was invented. And "it can't be a CDA if you don't brew it in Cascadia" is bull. What do you call your kolsch/pilsner/Berliner-weisse/etc then?
2) Black IPA is an oxymoron and sounds dumb if you word out the acronym
3) I can't even remember what the BJCP wants to call it because it's like 10 words long and pretty silly sounding.

Whirlpooling a simcoe ipa right now. Took way longer than I would have liked....stupid stovetop.

What was the recipe you brewed? I went to my LHBS and they told me to take my best ipa recipe and add carafa III (.5-.75 lbs) to it. Brewed it about a month ago have it sitting in the keg, but don't have high hopes for it.

 

[Cpt_Kirks]

Brewing a 10 gallon batch of AG 100% wheat Hefe Saturday.

5 gallons will be fermented with Wy3333, 5 gallons with Wy3638.

This my first all wheat, and the first time using 3333.

 

[solbes]

Will be brewing my first lager this weekend. Chose a lower gravity brew to start, a Vienna. 4 Qt starter of WY2308 is nearly fermented out, so I will cold crash it starting Friday morning for a decant on Sunday.

Cpn Kirk, I've brewed 2 wheats with 3333 (have yeast stored in fridge still). Definitely has a tart edge to it, which I like. Ferments and drops quickly (2 weeks). Both of my wheats have dropped crystal clear, which I find pretty unusual for a wheat. So not sure you're going to get the hefe look with your brew. My second wheat, I added Raspberries which clouded it up nicely.

 

[BrewerinBR]

Brewing an American Black Ale on Sunday.
