fall is approaching! what are you brewing to prepare?

[liebertron]

Fall is approaching, though over here in Virginia you really wouldn't know it.

I am still deciding what to brew in the coming days so that it is nice and ready for the fall. What are you brewing?

 

[kaconga]

Mocha stout in a few weeks. Fall is hot coffee weather here in north Idaho. Figure a nice mocha flavored milk stout might just do the trick. On deck after that will be a hoppy amber which will hopefully be similiar to rogues All American.

Well I have a blonde ipa fermenting( don't ask haha), but i know my father is planning on doing a pumpkin amber ale with some of our home grown sweet pumpkins when they ripen up.

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

I've already got my pumpkin ale going, been 2 weeks in primary. I have a smoked and Oaked RIS I'm gonna brew soon. I've also been thinking of brewing a small batch of an off the wall version of a cock ale using ; roast turkey breast, pumpkin, butternut squash, yams, black peppercorn, and corn. Kind of like a thanksgiving saison of some weird sorts.

 

[Eliterunner1]

oh wow haha I was just reading about the cock ale in papazians book

 

[Phantastik]

I sure hope you two are joking. Never heard of such specialty (poultry) ale before. So I Googled, then almost puked.

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

Not joking in the slightest. The chef in me really thinks I can figure something out that will taste surprisingly good.

 

[Eliterunner1]

yeah you might be able to. I mean if papazian did it...

 

[Eliterunner1]

who knows

 

[bioguy]

On tap: Wheelmen's Weak Pale Ale
Fermenting: 2012 Barley Wine
Next brew: Young Katherine's Imperial stout, Mr. Porter & Lil' Libby's Brown Ale

After that? Your suggestions would be helpful. Suggest 3 beers: One very high gravity, one medium and one low gravity.

I did a foreign extra stout a few weeks back that is now split into various secondaries with oak, oak + rum, pb2, and plain. Those will be my après ski beers come winter. I have one more ipa to do this weekend, then I have planned to do a weizen split up with various late summer fruits.

Debating a pumpkin ale, but thinking about just skipping it. Not sure..... If only I didn't have this damned day job

 

[mjdonnelly68]

Planning on a Sweet Potato Stout and have had an Octoberfest in fermentation since June. Can't wait to brew in the cool again...

 

[Spartangreen]

Brewed a Oatmeal Stout last weekend, and i've got an Apfelwein a month and a half in the primary.
October should be a good month at my house.

 

[punkerdru]

I'm doing KingBrian's Samhain Oktoberfest this weekend, then a bourbon vanilla porter next week. Also planned are a chocolate milk stout with some chilis, and a nice smooth pale ale to wash down thanksgiving.

Also, off topic but I'm setting up my keg system this weekend. Whoo!

 

[brewmaster12]

I've got an imperial oaked pumpkin ale about a week into primary. Tomorrow I'm brewing an octoberfest style ale and possibly an oatmeal stout. Fall is a busy brewing season for me.

 

[Braufessor]

Oktoberfest just moved to keg for lagering. Also did a series of Oatmeal beers - oatmeal amber, oatmeal brown, oatmeal porter and oatmeal stout. I can just move to darker beer the colder it gets I also have a smoked bourbon porter that I brewed 6 months ago that will be ready this fall/winter.

 

[JordanThomas]

First AG - Lil-Sparky's brown ale with a tiny tweak.

I'm hoping it turns out well, then it will be used as a backbone for a pumpkin ale!

 

[Blueflint]

Next week I will brew a Munich Dunkel for my fall beer. I am running behind as I should already have it done and starting to age. It will be ready for mid November though.

 

[mtyquinn]

Oktoberfest is moving into the keg for lagering tomorrow.

 

[LLBeanJ]

Brewed a Belgian Dubbel in early May. Added some cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and orange peel to the boil to make a "Winter Warmer" out of it. It's been conditioning at room temp in the keg for about two months now. I plan to tap it sometime after Oct. 1st. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

 

[sweed]

I'm thinking of a few smaller batches 2.5 gallons for some variety. Imp Pumkpin Ale, DIPA, Choc Mint Stout, some Belgian (maybe quad). I have a RIS w/ vanilla, bourbon, and oak in bombers that will be ready hopefully by Thanksgiving. My first try in bottle will be next week, a month in bottles, and I have a feeling it wont be close, but who knows??
I love my winter brews!

 

[Arbor413]

Just bottled an Octoberfest last weekend, brewing a Holiday spiced Robust Porter this weekend, and bottling my pumpkin brown next week. Looking forward to not baby sitting the swamp cooler. It's like having a third child!

 

[billf2112]

Next up for me is an Irish Red Ale (not seasonal, it's my fav and I am out) but some type of stout is going to be done and may try a pumpkin brew, maybe a pumpkin spice stout. Hmmmm, liking the sound of that, thanks for the inspiration.

You're welcome :cross:

It does sound good!

 

[Darwin18]

Should be getting my dedicated chest freezer for fermentation any day now...So I'll be brewing a Bo Pils and an Octoberfest once it arrives.

 

[Cromwell]

I have an Oktoberfest and a Bock lagering right now.

 

[thekage]

About to do a Pumpkin Ale and an Oktoberfest.
After that I will be getting ready for late fall/early winter and will do a Bannana Bread Ale and a Holiday Spice Ale
In the planning stages for later winter is a coffee stout and maybe a Buttered Rum Ale

 

[ajm163]

I'm thinking I am going to do a pumpkin ale this year. i know boring, but I haven't done one yet and fall seems like a good time for it

 

[Stauffbier]

I'm brewing a pumpkin espresso amber tomorrow..

 

[Zuljin]

Pecan porter and a Ruby Redbird clone.

And yeah, it doesn't feel like fall is anywhere to be thought of yet.
