So who's brewing this weekend?

[BrewinHooligan]

Planning to brew a RIS this weekend.

 

[Sheboyganjohn]

Brewed my Duck Blind Wheat yesterday, the first beer I designed myself (well with the help of beersmith) and I am brewing (mashing as I type) Surf Scoter Scotch Ale today which is a slightly modified scotch ale recipe I found on this site.

 

[GrizBrew]

15 Gallon Batch of Citra IPA. SWMBO is getting a little antsy for upping her hop intake.

So I just finished a honey nut brown english ale. The yeast was sketchy though. It was separated and looked almost curdled. Didn't fizz when I opened it. Will it still ferment, or will I need to buy another after christmas?

 

[gcnewcastle85]

Thanks for your help with the cider.

I have another question regarding the brewferm mini kegging system if anyone has used it before. Essentially I have kegged my beer as per the instructions. But it's using the gas that I'm struggling with, is there a specific way to do it? I have a nitrogen bulb in and not sure if I have done it correctly.

English yeast is very flocculant and that is very common. I am sure that all is well, when I use English yeast it always does that. So long as it doesn't look dark like peanut butter you should be good.

Thank you so much. That helps.

I am hoping to knock out a batch of my breakfast stout with a tweaked recipe, a black ipa (tweaked El Jeffe recipe from the IPA Book), and maybe one more batch.

 

[Chadwick]

I'm brewing a SN Bigfoot inspired barleywine. I'm changing it up a little with the base malts. Adding some munich to the base grains and adding a dash of chocolate malt. I'm shooting for higher gravity as well(1.120).

 

[BeerGrylls]

Mashing in a batch of Blonde Bombshell ale. Something easy drinking for the curious keezer onlookers to have during the superbowl party. Will boil the wort tomorrow.

 

[govner1]

Brewing an AG Mystic Fox Red Ale w/ my daughter Monday.

 

[gone_fishing]

[Oginme]

Just about to transfer a batch of Irish Stout to the fermenter.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

Any reason you are mashing overnight? Are you worried about it getting a little sour or is that the idea?

Finished the mash and sparge around midnight then set the kettle outside in the 28 degree weather. It was cool but not frozen when I got to it this morning. Not expecting any sour from that. Basically just to save on some time today. It's boiling now and smells fantastic.

 

[IronLion409]

Brewing Carribou Slobber brown ale this weekend. Yeast starter today boiling tomorrow.

Ah alright, i thought you meant you were letting the mash sit overnight.

Just mashed in on a batch of EPA. 95lb grain bill and my biggest to date

 

[TopherJohn]

Brewed my first batch yesterday after almost a year away, and after moving to Buffalo this fall. Ditched the cheap-o Mr. Beer equipment for real brewing gear. Made a 2 gallon batch of partial grain Imperial Black IPA that is merrily bubbling away. I'm considering adding bourbon soaked oak chips to the secondary, but it will depend on how the beer tastes after primary is through.

One potential problem, though: I packed my kitchen sink with snow to cool off the wort (thinking I was really clever - it's cold, free, and everywhere!), but about a tablespoon's worth dropped into the fermenter with the wort. Since the chance of contamination is pretty high, I'll taste the beer after primary is done before deciding to continue.

I hope I get lucky. It tasted pretty good going into the bucket.

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

I doubt you'll have an infection. Its not nearly as common as people make it out to be.

[Brewtah]

Boiling a Rye IPA. :fro: this will be my first beer to go in a keg. magnum, Citra, Chinook and Horizon.

 

[shetc]

Helped a friend brew a Brooklyn Brew shop 1 gallon Everyday IPA that he received for Xmas. Turned out it was an all grain kit, which I have never done before. Seems to have turned out ok. BTW, the so called sanitizer that comes with those kits is really brewery wash type stuff. Hope we didn't infect the wort.

Finishing my 2nd Sour for the year right now. This one will get racked onto Black Cherries in about a month and join it's brother that has been sitting on Pomegranate-Infused Cranberries for a month.

Tomorrow I brew my first DIPA. Should hit about 8.5% ABV. All CTZ hops, nice and bitter grapefruit.
