So who's brewing this weekend?

Very nice! I'm drinking a death by coconut porter from Oskar Blues ATM.

 

I keep looking for this but come up empty. I think it's only released in the fall, is that not true? If so is the new annual batch now available?

 

Just finished up.

 

The can of death by coconut I'm drinking was canned 11/2/15. I've had a six pack sitting in my closet since last year. Still good but the coconut is fading.

 

I racked 10 gallons of oatmeal stout to kegs, and then I brewed a 10 gallon batch of strong hefeweizen.

 

Brewed up 10 gallons of caribou slobber this morning. Been too long since I've had it on tap.

 

Awesome beer.

 

Brewed my Special B and amber malt mild , minus amber.
Subbed in brown malt

 

Bee Cave Brewery Robust Porter. Awesome stuff. About 45 minutes into the boil, after several home brews, I thought it would be great fun to add 8oz Hersheys Cocoa. Now I guess at the end of fermention, I'll have to throw in a pack of cocao nibs.

 

I did brew that Hefeweizen yesterday. What a smooth enjoyable brew day it was. My youngest son came home yesterday, as my other two sons are joining him today with the rest of the family to celebrate my birthday today. Anyway he helped and learned about the brewing process and it was a great day.

I brewed 3 gal of an English-ish Barleywine today. Maris Otter, C-120, light chocolate, and melanoiden malt. Chinook hops with WLP 007 yeast cake and S-04 packet. Going to oak this in a few weeks and start drinking them around the Superbowl.

 

Saturday I made up a batch of Cooper's English bitter. Used a kilogram of light DME and 500 grams of sugar to up the gravity while reducing the final volume to 21 litres. Using 500 grams of the DME I did a five minute boil with 10 grams of Fuggles and then after turning off the heat I steeped 15 grams of Centennial for 10 minutes. These hops were leftovers from previous brews. I used the kit yeast and by Sunday evening everything seemed well on its way fermentation wise.

I've been brewing all grain in my kitchen for a couple of years now but recent events around the home stead are forcing me to change things up a little at least for the short term.

 

Yesterday I made a 5 gallon Imperial Stout and everything seemed to go smoothly. 5 hours start to finish with cleanup included with my new EBIAB setup.

Next Sunday me and the neighbor are brewing 20 gallons. 10 gallon Czech Pilsner and a 10 of a Murphy's Stout clone that we've done several times before.

 

Sunday? Maybe? I've been putting off this BM OktoberFAST for so long it's probably going to be late for the season.

 

I wish I was brewing...instead I'll be neck deep in an engine swap on my old ford truck...sooner I get it done the sooner I can brew up a porter!!!!

 

Will brew up a Brown Rye Friday after work..

 

Ripped out a RyePA this evening to free up the weekend working on the race car...stupid thing is taking forever to drain so just going to leave it over night.

 

I will be brewing a pumpkin ale on Saturday, pumpkin everythinggggggg!!!!!

 

I'm doing another Belgian Quad. Trying out WL500 for yeast in this batch...

 

I'll be attempting to recreate my Russian Imperial Milk Stout tomorrow.

 

Dobblebock today, Bohemian Pilsener tomorrow.

 

Pumpkin stout tomorrow!

 

Fresh Newport hop smash pale ale Tommorow and honey brown on Sunday!

 

making and canning tomato sauce tomorrow....

 

Pale Ale dry hopping with Ariana.

 

Haven't brewed in a couple months but I'm trying to get the pipeline going again. Made something with a Marzen grain bill yesterday but with Wakatu hops, so maybe a NZ malty lager. Today we're brewing a robust porter, can already feel the cold coming here in the northeast, so, looking forward to this one.

 

Got everything ready yesterday afternoon, went out this morning 65 degrees made a 7+ gallon brew Pale Ale. Two hours from start to finish, everything cleaned and put up. Been putting this off for a while as my better half has been having a health issue.
Should be ready the end of October, I will be ready also.

 

Just finished a pale ale with fresh centennial hops I cut down today.

 

Gonna fire up my first batch in a few years, long story short, been overseas in a hot non temp controlled environment.

Same equipment, new state, new water, and slightly different set up. Should be interesting. Gonna start with a basic rye pale ale to get my chops back. 10 gal of course.

 

Brewed 10G of my Mad Elf sortof clone. Went well. OG came in at 1.096.

 

After 10 months, I have brewed again. Simple pale ale. Felt good to be behind the tun again.

 

Just finished. 9.5 gal shooting for 10, not bad. 79% mash efficiency. It's been a while so it was a little tricky getting the mash temp up, but finally got it to 153 and it only dropped to 151 in 45 minutes. BH eff was 66%. Not too bad for an old setup in a new place after a few years.

Rye Pale Ale in time for the World Series.

 

Brewing a 6g AG batch of my White IPA on Friday w/ my daughter

 

Congratulations on the brew after the hiatus!

Got Azacca and El Dorado coming for some modern type ipa. Probably on the lighter side, little bitter, not too dry, and definitely not clear.

 

Thanks! Fermentation is rocking. Starter, schmarter......

 

Brewing a DIPA for my first competition this weekend.

Here's hopin'

 

Getting a pumpkin spice ale going for the season this weekend.

Also might brew a batch of my own extra IPA recipe. Made it once before and friends liked it. I think I'll do it again.

 

This past weekend I produced my first homemade (extract) recipe. An Imperial IPA I'm calling "Imperial Aberration" (5 Gallons)

1 lb of Munich and Crystal Malt
9.9 lbs of Briess Golden Light liquid Malt Extract (1/2 late addition)
1 lbs corn sugar
7 oz. of hops (Warrior, Galaxy, Simcoe, New Zealand Nelson Sauvin, and Mosaic)
1/2 Tsp Irish Moss
Whitelabs WLP001 liquid yeast

Dry hopping
2 oz. of Citra
1 oz. of Amarillo

Cheers!

 

Brewing Saturday! Have a local 3 vessel brewer joining me to see how this new newfangled eBIAB work! Black Butte Porter clone on deck.

Don
Primary #1 - Joe IPA clone
Primary #2 - APA
Kegged - nothing :-(
Bottled - Oatmeal Stout, APA, Rye IPA

 

I'm going to try that interesting-looking sweet stout recipe that is in the current Zymurgy. The recipe calls for WLP051, but I'm culturing up some Bell's house yeast, which I hear is pretty darn close.
