Brewing This Weekend! Sept 7-9

[Ó Flannagáin]

Mashing right now and sparge water is heating up.

6lb 2-row
3/4lb roasted
1/2lb chocolate
1lb flaked barley
1lb carapils

1 oz kent goldings 60min

wlp004 irish ale yeast

Tommorow is rochefort 10 clone, Sunday is Honey Creamed Irish Red Ale FTW!

 

[Lil' Sparky]

Mmmm. Sounds yummy!

 

[Evan!]

Hey, dude, what's your final roche 10 recipe look like?

 

[Ó Flannagáin]

all pils, 1-2lbs caramunich 1-2lbs caravienna special b, 1lb clear candi, 1lb dark candi all styrian.

Ill have the exact recipe tommorow, haven't nailed it down yet. I'm a little worried about the color though. The dark candi sugar is making it realllly dark in promash.

 

[Evan!]

What about the carafa? Don't trust promash on the dark candi sugar. It doesn't affect the SRM as much as they say. My SRM was, according to promash, 39.5. When it came out, it looked just like Rochefort. Don't omit the carafa III. It's not the same without it.

 

[Ó Flannagáin]

I forgot the carafa, I'm gonna have to check and see if my LHBS has some in. Dangit, I really hope they do. If not, I'm gonna have to substitute for it.

 

[Evan!]

debittered black patent also works. they might be the same thing. You need a black malt, 500 SRM or more, with the husks removed.

Brewing 3 days in a row = :rockin:

I've never felt so :rockin: in my life. I can't be the only person brewing this weekend. Who else is firin' up the old kettle?

 

[Trencher]

I've gotta do it - not enough beer in the closet!

Trying to put together a decent American Brown Ale from some leftovers. I just toasted some melanoidin malt, not sure how that will come out but it can't be bad.

Unfortunatley I can't brew this weekend, but I brewed on 8/29, 9/2 and 9/5 so I don't have anything to complain about.

I'll be brewing next weekend for sure. Hopfullly at least 2 brews, possibly 3.

 

[DeathBrewer]

i'm making an irish red and teaching some friends how to brew in the process

 

[Rhoobarb]

Unfortunately, nothing this weekend or next. On the plus side, I'll be working on my chest freezer-to-kegerator project and I have two batches ready to bottle (or keg, depending on how fast I can pull the project together)!

I'll be in Nashua, New Hampshire next weekend. Maybe I'll be able to brew again the weekend of the 22nd.

Bottling an Irish amber
Farmhouse #1 going to secondary.
Brewing Farmhouse #2 to dump on #1's yeast cake.

 

[homebrewer_99]

I got the chocolate malt on-hand, picked up the black patent and roasted barley last night...planning a Guiness clone...

 

[b767fo]

Made a dry stout yesterday, tomorrow I'll crank out a smoke porter, then doing an IPA next week. I love this time of year!

 

[shunoshi]

Easy Street Wheat Clone is getting brewed on Sunday. Beer and Football, doesn't get much better than that.

 

[Orfy]

Thinking I may do another 3 in a day on Sunday If I can get things out of the way on Saturday.
I think I'll try 4 someday but not this weekend.

 

[EdWort]

I'm brewing 11 gallons of my revised Bavarian Hefe today.

 

[jvh261]

I'm racking my Alpha King clone to secondary and brewing my second batch of 5 Count IPA that I'll siphon right onto the AK yeast cake. First batch came out great so I decided to get another going sooner than later as this first batch is going to go fast. If I make it a late night saturday night I might just go ahead and brew my Rogue Blackened Bitter kit. Looking forward to that one...but not sure if I'll have the time.

Sunday = football and time to enjoy all this brew!

 

[lackofstyl]

I'm brewing up an Irish red to put next to my PA thats going into secondary tomorrow. Nothing like a Saturday spent cranking music and brewin :rockin:

Hey Ed, have you seen that seasonal bavarian hefe yeast they have at austinhomebrew right now? I allllmost picked one up. But I'm just too happy with wlp300

 

[Ó Flannagáin]

Hit 72% Efficiency on the stout! Mash temp was a little low, I hope this guy isn't toooo dry. But should be ok, plenty of unfermentables in there I suspect form the flaked barley and the roasted barley. Pitched my 30hours old starter and now waiting for some action! 2 down, 2 to go.

Evan, if you read this, my LHBS guy didn't have any carafa or any other dehusked grains. So, I decided to omit it and I'll just have nice dark strong belgian that's not a rochefort. I'll probably add a hint of chocolate and I picked up some aromatic and coriander I'm gonna throw in as well. I'll send you a bottle in a few months if it's any good.

 

[the_Roqk]

I gotta work tomorrow (24 hr shift) and will commence brewing on Sunday morning. Don't know whether to brew Orfy's Hobgoblin Ale or make a Belgian Strong Ale. I'm leaning towards the Belgian Strong Ale only because I still have some yeast that was saved in the fridge, and it will be good to have for the cooler months ahead.

 

[BierMuncher]

10 gallons of my Back To Basics Ale. I might even take the other 5-gallons of what I brewed last week, now that it's finished, and try to boil off the alcohol for an NA version of my Session Haus Ale.

 

[Bobby_M]

My first 10 gallon batch today. American Amber loosely based on Jamil's Red Rocket Clone only slightly smaller and less bitter.

Dude. You need to move to a 10-gallon set up. That would be 30 gallons in one week. Chill a keg, store a keg for later.

Good looking recipe.
