How is your current pipeline looking?

[Wyobrew22]

So I have not been at the homebrewing for very long but I have now officially established a pipeline! I have a Biere De Garde in primary, a Patersbier and a Dunkelwiezen in secondary and a Scottish ale an Irish stout a brown ale and a summer ale all in various stages of bottle conditioning. The summer ale is the only one that is "done" and sadly it's almost gone. So how is your spring/summer pipeline looking?

 

[Lepersquatch]

Brewed for the first time last weekend. Made a Irish Red, Wit, and Honey Brown, also Apfelwein been going for 3 weeks now. Not too bad to start.

 

[Pilgarlic]

I have a 2 tap kegerator (will be 4 by the end of the year):

tap 1 - raspberry wheat
tap 2 - empty
primary 1 - porter
primary 2 - dogfish 60

will be brewing an oatmeal stout in a week. I just started brewing in march so i think im doing pretty good!

 

[azscoob]

Building a pipeline is always a struggle if there are limited brew days in your schedule, I usually only get one brew in per month, with bringing growlers to friends and to club meetings it goes fast! I think I need to step up to 10 gallon batches so the pipeline builds. Currently I have an Oktoberfest lagering, my APA on tap (almost gone), an irish red on tap (also about gone), I have a Smoked RyePA in primary, a wheat ready to brew on the 1st and a strawberry blonde for the 2nd.

 

[BendBrewer]

Bottled In Cellar - SimcoMarillo IPA
Bottled In Cellar - BM Centennial Blond
Tap 1 -F.U. Pale Ale
Tap 2 - Yoopers Pale Ale
Fermenter - AmarilliCoe Pale

 

[ArcaneXor]

Mine is looking very healthy - see my signature.

I try to alternate chocolaty/roasty beers with lighter/hoppier ones, throwing in an experimental or sour beer every third or fourth brew or so.

Mine is going good. Take a look at my sig. I will be bottling a Hefe today and Brewing tomorrow May 1. Summer is when I brew a lot. I have our first kid on the way in October so I have to build the pipeline up for the winter. I will be buying some more kegs so I can keep stuff on tap.

Brew on

[EricT]

I just kegged my Honey ale, I have a Scottish that has been bottled for a month and is carbing very slowly, I also have BM's Blonde Haus Ale bottled and should be ready to drink in a few days. So for now its healthy, up next is Stone pale Ale clone.

 

[Coastarine]

In the sig. I rarely allow vessels to remain empty for more than a week. Once I buy another poppet valve I'll have four beers in "conditioning".

11 batches total ranging from freshly brewed to nearly kicked.

 

[zman]

I try and brew every other weekend because I want to make sure the pipeline is always somewhat full. It gets hard when you always bring at least a sixer to a friends and two monthly HBC meetings. Good thing i am obsessed about brewing. In addition to what I have in my sig. I have a failed AB Clone ( Not sure what the hell happened yet, So I'm waiting it out).

Bottled a 2 Hearted last night.
Fermenting
Hard Lemonade
Peach Wheat
All Amarillo Pale Ale
Apfelwine
Sake (Clearing in Secondary) I wish this would finish already so I can do my first lager

 

[Revvy]

Hmmm, let's see.

Drinking
1) My hoegaarden Clone, 2) My vienna Lager, 3) My tortilla chip centennial cream ale (was 1/2 # short of flaked maize so subbed 100% all natural low salt tortilla chips instead- fantastic.) 4) A couple of bottles of the Chocolate Mole Porter I got a Bronze for at the World Expo of Beer HB comp.

Bottle carbing/ conditioning
1 case of an amber ale made from the 2nd runnings of my New Years Eve Partygyle (it needs some time to smooth it out a bit.) 1 case of Bourbon Oaked DIPA made with "Date Sugar" (rehydrated dates pureed and boiled with 1 pound of brown sugar and 1tbs molasses.)

Bulk Aging/Secondarying/Tertiary
"Auld Lang Syne Old Ale" (First runnings of New Year's Eve Partigyle. In tertiary for bulk aging after having been secondaried for a week in toasted bourbon soaked oak chips. Basically a bumped up version of the "Poor Richard's Ale/Ben Franklin Recipe.) 5 gallons of Apfelwein. 1 gallon of Date Wine.

Primary
3- 2.5 gallon home grain roasting experimental pale ales. #1 Grain test Pale Ale (dry toasted) #2 Grain test Pale Ale (soaked in sugar solution then toasted) # 3 Grain Test Pale Ale (soaked in water then toasted) [Basic recipe is 5# 2-row + 1# home roasted grain, EKG hops, US-05 yeast]

Brewing Tomorrow
Leffe Belgian Blonde Clone (2.5 gallons of it will be racked over peaches for a case of peachy keen Blonde Ale.)

I feel like I'm missing something else though.

 

[mosquitocontrol]

I thought my pipeline was going good. But now I only have 1 full keg for a spare and am expecting to kick one within a week or two. I've been lazy and have had 2 ready to keg for about 2 weeks. I need to get going!

I broke my thermometer last brew and it took me a month to order a replacement. So not only am I behind on kegging but also on brewing. I usually brew 2 batches every 2 weeks. I'm hoping there won't be a drought.

 

[SumnerH]

I've got 8 cornies, it's a struggle to keep them full. I try to do a mix of low-grav stuff to keep on tap and some long-aging bottle stuff. I also decided to do a crazy specialty beer for the Sam Adams longshot, so that's taking up space and it pushed back my long-term brewing schedule. I didn't brew from Christmas until March, so my secondaries are empty but that'll change soon.

Right now I have:

Bottled: BDSA
On tap: Fuggles IPA, California common, Irish stout
Ready to tap: Pale Scottish 80/-, Centennial IPA
Primary (mid term): Saison
Primary (long-term): Oaked vanilla/maple/juniper barleywine
Primary (Short term/Longshot): Specialty witbier variant

On deck (long term): Ancho Villa (spiced imperial stout, inspired by Cigar City Hunahpu's and by OldSock's Mexican imperial), Oud Bruin (inspired by Lost Abbey Red Poppy), Bugged saison
On deck (Mid-term): Bohemian pilsner

The BDSA is nearly gone, leaving me with nothing bottled as special occasion stuff; hopefully the barleywine will be drinkable by Christmas or soon thereafter and I'll have the imperial stout and the Oud Bruin following on its heels.

 

[humann_brewing]

kegged: Dead guy( John style), honey APA, Kolsch, hoppy amber
dry hopping: West coast IPA
fermenting: barleywine and barleywines baby
planned: Simple APA and Blonde

 

[FromZwolle]

mine is looking grim. I've got about half a keg of graff, a vienna pseudo-lager about to be kegged, and about a six pack of various left overs. The next brewday is somewhere beyond the horizon, so i may just cry when one of my kegs gives me the dreaded foam of death.

Strangely ironic that a reverend would inspire envy, isn't it?

 

[J-ROD]

Well...I'm working on mine. I ran out awhile back and decided that was not going to happen again.....summer is looking supplied.

Kegged: Haus Pale
Bottled: Strong Ale, Haus Pale
Secondary: Fat tire Clone, Highland Oatmeal Porter Clone, Dead Guy Clone
Primary: Coldwater 420
Brewing this week: Stone Ruination Clone and Haus Pale

 

[KYB]

Terrible. I can't keep up. My 6 tap keggerator has only been fully stocked once, for a few days, and I've brewed 100gal this year already. My family is always wanting kegs for different events. Right now I have 2 beers on tap. Brewing my Extra Stout and Imperial Black Ale Sunday for a wedding.

[neovox]

(was 1/2 # short of flaked maize so subbed 100% all natural low salt tortilla chips instead- fantastic.)

That is really creative.

 

[sativen]

I love playing this game; I've been brewing a lot this year, per my list. I'm getting my timings down so I can pull a batch after work without losing time on too many other things (I take a bike ride during the mash, clean at different times, etc).

Fermenting:
Two different batches Amer. Red
Two different batches IPA
Cider

Kegged and available based on where I move a hose:
Rye Pale
Maibock
Porter
Coffee Porter
Oak Bourbon Porter
Blonde
Old Ale
Honey Oat
Nut Brown
Belgian Dubbel
Double IPA
Wee Heavy
Cider

Bottled:
Old Ale
RIS with and without coffee and bourbon

Sadly, I'm not going to be able to brew at all in May though, too much going on.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Mine's looking pretty sad, really. Brewed up some Honey Orange Hefe for a party so that was gone overnight. And I've been so busy with the last month of school that I didn't even realize the keg of amber was low and now I'm dry! But here's what's up:

- Maple Cream Ale, which fermented WAY too warm and the yeast threw off a bunch of sulfur... so that's going to sit at 40* for quite some time.
- Barleywine, has been sitting in carlo rossi jugs since October and will likely be bottled soon. Bottling procrastination gets pretty heavy when it's only 2 gallons
- Dunkelweizen, being brewed today once I'm out of class
- Necessary precautions have been taken to prevent another dry pipeline. Up next is a tripel, followed shortly by BM's Centennial Blonde. That way the blonde will be ready by the time we'll be brewing another beer for mid-summer, and the tripel will be done by the end of summer. Problem solved

[Revvy]

That is really creative.

Blame it on having read Radical Brewing, and having the "Iron Brewer" episode on basic brewing when I realized I was short of maize.

I looked over at the bag of tortilla chips sitting there in front of me, and thought "Hey, it's cooked corn mush....it might work."

It worked out great, I may try in again using a full pound rather than mixing it with maize.
