So who's brewing this weekend?

[Chadwick]

I'm torn. I could brew tomorrow, or I could go jam with some musician friends I haven't seen for almost 4 years.

If I jam, I prob. won't be making beer this weekend. If I brew, I'll also have to decide what I want to brew. It'll be a choice between another barleywine or a double IPA.

I would definitely jam since you haven't seen them in years. Too bad you can't brew early AND jam.

Jam, for sure. Beer can wait.

I'm going to brew 5 gallons of Irish Red sometime this weekend. I also should bottle 5 gallons of a Citra pale ale. And I've been told by SWMBO I'm cooking breakfast tomorrow morning before Kid #1 heads back home to Fresno. Plus there's football to be watched. Looks like my weekend is planned.

 

[TallahasseeBrew]

Sunday I'll be brewing up the helles for my wedding in March. Even though my recipe got 3rd place art a competition, I've adjusted to increase hop flavor a little. Also, the Tettnang I got is only 2.4%AA, so I'll be using a little Saaz for bittering.

Well it's for my wedding in March, so I need to get it started. Also, it's Texas so it might be hot next week already.

 

[binabik]

Planning on a Hefe tomorrow.

 

[Vedder014]

I was trying to decide if I wanted to brew my 42 Wallaby Way Aussie IPA today during the Kentucky game or tomorrow during the Packers game. When I woke up it was 4 degree F outside, so Sunday it is. Hopefully the Pack play well or the neighborhood kids might hear some new words coming from my garage.

 

[Scele]

Just put a Munich dunkel into my fermenter, also have a classic pilsner next to it. Planning on an indian brown ale, and possibly an IPA tomorrow.

 

[razyrsharpe]

went to find a lid for an old fermenter bucket i had, and scored an English Pale Ale kit for 30% off! so, tomorrow is pretty much set for my brew day! i'll need to rack a scottish ale into the second fermenter and i will have two batches fermenting at one time.... a first for me.

 

[BadDeacon]

Wrapping up a double brew day. Both extract kits I have had in the closet for a few months. Man, I forgot how much quicker extract is!!!!

Now if my brisket will finish before too long I'll call today a success.

[yewtah-brewha]

Brewed a Pale Ale yesterday, 2-row,biscuit, carapils, and crystal/carmel20.
used 2 ounces of cascade for the last 20 minutes and the sample I tasted was bitter, Dont know why im getting bitter beer with only late editions, but I'm getting tired of it. It was also darker than I thought it should be, but I dont care too much about the color as long as it tastes great. Airloc moving 12 hours after pitching uso5

 

[tdbc2011]

Brewed a Hefeweizen today. Probably the smoothest brewday I have had. 85% efficiency and was done in 5 1/2 hours with a 90 min sparge and a 90 min boil.

 

[markstache]

= pretty chilly in Alabama

Thanks for the laugh! I needed that.

Though if I were in Alaska (again) I'm laugh at me laughing at me.

 

[markstache]

Double brew day. Black Lager and India Pale Lager.

Then I portioned out 12oz of chinook and centennial. Life is is good. (Note to self: when huffing hop bags, skip the bag full of dust. Trust me.)

 

[imp81318]

Not brewing, but Ill be bottling my Belgian Tripel and maybe my toasted Irish stout as well.

 

[Porsche914]

Brewed a 10 gallon batch of Pliny the Elder clone yesterday. I used a 3 liter starter and it's bublbing nicely.

 

[sablesurfer]

First ever mead is in the fermentor this weekend. Started getting active over night, looking forward to seeing what I get.

 

[beersk]

Brewed 4 gallons of helles yesterday. Really need to start brewing that style to have on tap all the time. Seems like all I've had lately are dark beers, and I'm really starting to get tired of them.

 

[mattmmille]

Interested in doing a fairly simple Gose, BIAB, with acidulated malt. Never used lacto or bugs before...not sure I'm ready to go there yet. And I'll be fermenting at home room temp. around 68-70F. Any recipes or recommendations? Should I try it or am I being ridiculous to even consider it?

A sour mash will give better results IMO than just acid malt. It's easy, you should go for it.

 

[masonsjax]

I'm measuring out some grain right now for a red ale that will get ECY Dirty Dozen brett blend. Can't wait to see what this tastes like!

Never done a sour mash...need to do a little research on procedures.

 

[rahmdog]

First stout will be a Sierra Nevada Coffee Stout Clone attempt this Thursday. Can't wait, can't wait to try last month's robust porter as well.

Planning on brewing the deception stout found here....5 gallon batch

 

[Murphy2012]

I told myself I don't have to brew this weekend, But, I've decided I'm crazy and must! Thinking v2 of my citra ipa or a new variation of my imperial blonde. Suggestions?

 

[ultra_cas]

Couldn't brew this weekend, yeast wasn't ready, so brewing my IPA today. Got an early start at work so I can quit early, and brew this afternoon. Have to brew outside due to my setup, the day is starting off at -5, but supposed to "warm" up to 20 or 25. Hope the weatherman is right!

Tried to do a 2 gallon batch of rye pilsner. Got 3 gallons so it went in the carboy. Oh boo hoo. Wifey's wheat is burp-a-lurping along.

Cracked a couple of lagers tonight. Undercarbed, but discovered that the little lady likes Vienna lagers and bocks. Who knew?
