So who's brewing this weekend?

[3toes]

Brewday isn't until NEXT weekend, but I'm getting my yeast starter going for my Festbier recipe.

Fall is my absolute favorite beer season

 

[SteveH aka shetc]

Going to make an American Brown ale using Hothead kveik. Wish me luck [emoji3]

 

[RCope]

Just brewed an Orange Saison...my first attempt with that style. Hopped with Huell Melon and Mandarina. Added orange peel, coriander, and a bit of black pepper. Wyeast 3711. We'll see

 

[Imhoppy]

Fresh Squished IPA 5 gallon extract kit from Northern Brewer. Partial boil. First time brewing this one.

 

[rkhanso]

Brewing with my brother tomorrow, 8-10-19. HuRRiC4Ne's Belgian Trippel (2006 World Beer Cup Gold Medal: Dragonmead Final Absolution clone). Going to brew 11 gallons of it. All grain. 36 lb of grain and 4lb of sugar.

 

[Amadeo38]

Brewed up a Märzen this morning. Ground water temps here only allowed IC to get the wort down to 88F, so it’s sitting in the ferm chamber chillin till I can pitch the 34/70.

Had a little flub - first time using my new Cereal Killer. I guess the crush was more fine than I’ve had before, so I got a stuck sparge for the first time on my pump/false bottom system. Ran out of rice hulls after the last wheat beer so I had to stir and retry! Unfortunately, some grain collected below my false bottom and scorched during my mash out. Hopefully it only imparts a “toasty” flavor and nothing bad.

 

[orionol73]

Mashed and sterilized wort for a kettle sour last night
Souring currently and will finish with a boil tomorrow. Plan to split it 3 ways and ferment on different kinds of fruits...maybe blueberry, raspberry and blackberry since they are in season.

 

[grampamark]

Brewing a Blonde Ale, drinking a HB Pale Ale.

 

[6Tap]

Currently brewing a pale ale, drinking a HB IPA

 

[Pkrd]

Azacca mosaic NEIPA tonight. Went well. Except almost forgot to pitch the yeast.

 

[hopkincr]

Doing my first No Boil NEIPA with Mosaic, El Dorado and Citra. So far, love the quick brew day.

 

[jcav]

In the middle of single decocted American Wheat beer. Will have about 8 ounces of hops and should be a nice quencher in this Florida heat!

[riceral]

just started the boil on a special bitter

 

[jturman35]

just started the boil on a special bitter

Brewed my second version of a Fullers ESB Clone yesterday!

 

[Andrew Hodgson]

Sunday brewed up a Gose base beer. This upcoming Sunday I will put together a base beer for an All Brett fermentation with berries added later on.

50/50 pilsner and red wheat.

Funk Weapon 2 for Brett.

Time to grow the pipeline back up and get ready for a comp in the fall. Have to defend my category.

 

[Cavpilot2000]

Changing things up this brewday.
Planning 5 gallons of Sauergut and a Braggot.

 

[brewbama]

I am brewing my nod to Ranger IPA.

 

[seatazzz]

Sunday will brew up another batch of the House Lager; tempted to make it a 10g batch but need to hold back some pilsner to do a saison for the husband next weekend, so will just make it a 5g. Today the plumbers were here to replace the drain pipe and p-trap from the bathtub, $1258 out the door but at least they didn't have to jackhammer the driveway.

 

[BrewMan13]

Going to fit in a black IPA in between the rain and house showings today. The brewing must go on!

 

[Punx Clever]

Throwing a milk stout in the fermenter now that my club's barrel project saison is done fermenting... just got to kill off all the imperial rustic so the milk stout doesn't dry out too much.

Knew there was a reason I had some iodophor on hand...

 

[grampamark]

Brewing an IPA, drinking a Founder's All Day IPA. I'm out of HB (just kegged a Blonde Ale today). Forced to drink commercial beer while brewing. Oh, the shame!

 

[Chris-Naz]

A 5g smash-ish NEIPA with golden promise, light munich, WY1318, and a boat load of Vic Secret. Adding sugar each time I dry hop with this batch (4oz sugar & 4oz hops) twice.

 

[treacheroustexan]

Finally brewing my milk stout with pumpkin, vanilla and coffee. Was supposed to do it last weekend but ran out of time. Just heating up the strike water!

 

[rawl28]

Kicking off a 10 gallon batch of a solsun clone with bitter orange and coriander plus a blast of Amarillo in the whirlpool. Designing a recipe for a Imperial Irish Red ale.

 

[Hankster98528]

Did up a batch of Summer Shandy, it had a good taste going into the FastFerment

 

[Abhishek Dewan]

I made Amarillo wheat beer. Whole 23 litres of it. I prefer using soda bottles as they're safer.

 

[Pkrd]

That's a ton of headspace.

Cold crashed my NEIPA tonight, perhaps a little early but I kicked a keg last night and want this baby pouring by the weekend.

 

[JOHN WELSH]

I made this sick oil can stout. I got a whiskey barrel to age it in. Should be ready by Thanksgiving.

 

[TandemTails]

I'll be brewing a barleywine and a tropical stout this weekend!

 

[kingmatt]

I'll be doing another overnight mash Friday and brewing a big West coast double IPA on Saturday.

 

[ApolloSimcoe]

I'm a little behind. Oktoberfest!

 

[seatazzz]

Was going to do a Raspberry Saison this weekend, but we have a new family member arriving on Saturday (black kitten, name of Sullivan) so I didn't want to go shopping; so whipped up a recipe for a Pale Ale that should be tasty. Mainly two-row with some home-caramelized crystal for color, bittered with Cascade and late additions of Chinook and Southern Passion hops that I haven't had a use for until now, fermented on fresh Notty. Should turn out a bit dank from the Chinook with a nice tropical fruitiness from the SP hops, with a hefty malt backbone if I do it right. Love making my own recipes!

 

[bluedaisy0627]

Spiced cherry dubbel boiling now.

 

[davidabcd]

I will be making two St. Bernardus Abt XII clones, either all at one time or back to back. The recipe says 11% ABV. Last time I only got it to 10.5%. I'm using 2X Mangrove Jack M-41 this time and will make a cream per their site. No complaints against T-58 but I want to give the MJ a try.

 

[davidabcd]

I prefer using soda bottles as they're safer.

Do you squeeze the bottles before capping? As was mentioned, it looks like a little too much head space there.

 

[ZmannR2]

A bit late but I'm brewing my Marzen recipe this weekend!!! Tell me what yall think about this recipe....I changed the yeast to S-189

 

[grampamark]

I’m brewing a Saaz SMaSH right now. I had thought about a Cali Common, but decided on another lighter beer. It is still summer, even here on the Frozen Tundra.

 

[OG-wan Kenobi]

A damn pound of rice hulls and it’s still stuck this is why I only make pumpkin beer once a year

Bag weighs like 70 lbs I knew I was screwed lifting it

 

[z-bob]

I'm checking to see if the yeast I cultured from a couple bottles of Schell's hefeweizen took. The starter has been cold crashing in the fridge for a week, and I made half a liter of new starter wort. When it cools and the first starter comes up to temperature, I'll decant the stale beer off the top and add the new wort and see what happens. I already decanted some of the starter beer off and tasted it. It's not at all sweet and tastes a little sour (Schell's hefe is a little sour) with no particular odor, so I have high hopes. When I see some activity I will start brewing a rye beer that's been on my list for a while.
If it doesn't take, I may brew the rye anyway and pitch a packet of Belle Saison. Off to go weigh out the grains...

I like soda bottles too. Especially some tall skinny 17 oz sparkling water bottles I found at Costco; they will fit in a six-pack carrier. As others have said, that's a lot of headspace in yours unless you squeezed all the air out before you capped them (then it's still a lot of headspace but probably harmless) I like to cut off the little ring left on the necks of the bottles; it looks a little better and I can be sure that the cap is screwed down all the way.
