I am brewing a Maibock on Sunday for sure, got the yeast starter going for it yesterday. But my wife just told me she isn't going to be around tonight or all day tomorrow. So I am thinking about brewing saturday as well since I have the stuff to do an Old Ale...or I could get drunk and play video games till I pass out.

Funny, I'm busy all night tonight and tomorrow, but maybe Sunday I'll brew

j/k ;)
 
A blonde to bottle and a brunette to dry hop. The yeasties are getting busy with themselves in the starter to brew another batch of Mt. Crumpet (2-hearted clone) tomorrow.
 
I got a 50 lb sack of 2-row yesterday, I have a bunch of specialty malts and hops but the crusher wont be here till Monday. I may bust out the rolling pin one last time. I don't know. Anyway, I have six buckets full now and only have five airlock (till Monday.) I could rack my lager to my single BB and make up a blow off tube for another batch...I'm not sure.
 
I Made a starter for a Hefe this morning. Today it is 60 and sunny here, tommorrow they are saying 27. Going to be a cold one!
 
I'm also doing up my first partial mash...The AHS Double Chocolate Stout. Should be fun. I really thought I would win that $50 AHS CO state sale gift card though. Maybe next year.

I'm going to brew this weekend, probably this evening when I get home. Probably going to do an All Grain lager and an Extract Lager or Can kit while the All Grain is mashing and boiling.
 
If I can drag my ass out of bed early enough and its not too cold, I'm going to bang out a stout and a brown ale Saturday morning.
 
Two tomorrow if I can swing it. Tudor Hopp'd Beere to start and Coal Porter to follow. First AG, second extract/steep because my pipeline is EMPTY. Sheesh!

Supposed to be 60-ish here in Denver this weekend, so I think I'm brewing starter tonight and my first shot at a CAP (decoction and all) on Sunday.
 
Note to RC:
Have you tried to contact AHS? I'm not a customer of Forrest, but I can't imagine him not making every effort to correct their error.
Yup and he is shipping me the missing ingredients. I placed the order Friday and got it Thursday (not bad and I planed for that; just in time to brew this weekend) but all 3 beers I ordered had the same ingredient so I cant brew any of them :mad:

Its cool I hear really good things about Brewmasters Warehouse :rockin:
 
I'm not brewing this weekend, but I am bottling my 8-8-8 RIS that I let sit on oak for a couple of weeks.
 
I did pork and beef ribs on the smoker and I brewed up an IPA

All in all a damn good day


If this turns out as good as last time I'll put it in my recipes
 
Oooh, what's the Tudor Hopped Beere? Sounds interesting!

Basically, it's a archetypical hopped beer ca. 1550. See the King Henry VII Sengyll Beere in my drop-down for one of the redactions from which I drew the archetypes.

Coal Porter is boiling now...yummy...

:D

This is the scaled-down version of the Coal Porter I brewed at Black Rock Microbrewery & Restaurant in Wilkes-Barre, PA. An old standby, it never fails to please me. The only changes I made were:

- Sub Briess Gold LME for Briess 2-row Brewer's Malt
- the bittering hops variety, which originally was Willamette; I had an ounce of Amarillo in the freezer and decided to use it up.
- add a bit of brown sugar just for yuks.
 
Basically, it's a archetypical hopped beer ca. 1550. See the King Henry VII Sengyll Beere in my drop-down for one of the redactions from which I drew the archetypes.

Hey Bob. With the Steel Cut oats and the Raw Wheat, do you need to do a cereal mash?
 
I'll be kegging my IPA's tomorrow, then playing golf, then helping my friends empty their bar to make room for a kid, waking up in my clothes somewhere and brewing 10 gallons of pale ale.:rockin:

SWMBO's out of town.:cross: It's going to be a fun weekend.
