Labor Day Weekend 2008 - What's in Your Kettle???

[BierMuncher]

I think a three day holiday deserves its own "what are you brewing" thread.

So how bout it.

Do we have some 999's going up this weekend?
Maybe some Octoberfests in the works?
Perhaps a strong ale in time for the holidays?

What will we smell coming out of your brewhaus this weekend?

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Nothing here. I just brewed 3 IPA variants and have some home repairs to tend to and a hop harvest to attack.

I think it is time to bottle the mead now tho. They have been in primary now for nearly 8 weeks. Half of that time they have been clearing in the fridge.

 

[flyangler18]

Hmm I'm thinking a DFH 60 clone is up for tomorrow, bottling some mead and Bee Cave HPA.

 

[the_bird]

JZ's "Who's Your Taddy?" porter... teachin' the_Wife to brew.

 

[bull8042]

This weekend I will be bottling a batch of Yooperbrew's DFH 60-min IPA clones and will be brewing a Bee Cave Haus Pale Ale (thanks EdWort). If time permits, I want to do one of your Kona Fire Rock Pale Ales too. We will see.
Just got back from my LHBS and my Vienna Malt has bugs! We will see how those dang little critters like the 168°F sparge....

 

[BigKahuna]

I'll be brewing my Irish ale tomorrow, and Sunday I'll be doing the mash for my sour, boil will happen Monday when SWMBO is out of the house!

 

[Yooper]

I brewed an OktoberFAST today, using some washed WLP001 yeast. I have to work at 2 PM, so I brewed first.

 

[bashe]

I will be doing a Christmas Ale and maybe a chimay clone this weekend.

 

[monty3777]

Oktoberfest or Altbier for an Octoberfest we'll be having. I am also going to smoke homemade sausages.
I'm thinking about calling my first batch Me Buzz You Long Time and am still looking for something clever for the October beer!!

 

[ohiobrewtus]

5g of Brown Porter and 10g of RIS today.

 

[MgMt_Home_Brew]

I’m heading up to NH to Lake Winapasaki so no brewing for me. But there is a home brew store up there that I will be going to check out

However when i get home I get to keg my ESB and then the next weekend I get to do my pumkin ale!

 

[DaleJ]

Doing a Special Bitter while teaching a friend to brew.

 

[Matt_D]

I am doing a Cream Ale for the SWMBO on Saturday and a Weizenbock on Monday

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

Brewing a Schneider Weizen clone with cultured Schneider weiss yeast! This will go along with a batch of Ed's Oktoberfast ale I brewed last week to be served at my Oktoberfest party!

 

[jeff_2506]

I'm brewing a pale ale on Sunday. YIPPEE

 

[shecky]

Pumpkin ale Monday.

 

[sigmund]

I'm brewing a pale ale on Sunday. YIPPEE

If it makes you feel any better, so am I.

 

[MNBugeater]

I am off to the MN State Fair this weekend, but I have the 999 Barleywine slated from brewing next weekend on the 6th. Along with an ESB as party of a parti-gyle session. Made some mods to the brew stand and am really excited to try the new changes.

Wow, it's really ironic that you would post that. We've come to an agreement; she's going to brew a batch, to experience something that I really enjoy, and I have to read a book of her choosing, which I guarantee will be sci-fi (since *all* that I ever read is nonfiction).

 

[Saccharomyces]

Think I'm gonna go for a round of Orfy's Mild this weekend.

I want to do the Celis White clone I posted to the recipe thread too, but all my fermenters are full so it will have to wait until I rack my Munich Helles. Oh, and I need to still drink up my last dozen or so bottles of Wit to make room, heh.

 

[DonkeyShoes]

BM's OctoberFAST on Sunday, 2nd AG

 

[schneemann]

Saturday: Winter Warmer

Monday: California Common

 

[McKBrew]

Heck ya I'm brewing. First time in months. I'm making an American Wheat, and a super hoppy IPA. Even better, I'm probably going to do both in one day. So for the first time in Falling Timber history I'll have two batches fermenting at the same time.:rockin::rockin::rockin::rockin:

 

[p4ck37p1mp]

BM Octoberfast +1, first AG in 6-7 years! We'll see if the gears in my skull still work with all the rust.

 

[Chad]

Brewed my Señor Misterioso Vienna lager today. Did not go as well as usual but the beer is done and in the fridge and all of the cleanup is squared away. I've got my next three beers planned out and am already looking forward to the next one and maybe -- just maybe -- finally getting everything dialed in.

[Brew-boy]

I am brewing the Pope's ESB this weekend and kegging my Beir de Garde.

 

[bsay]

I'm putting my Oktoberfest-style Ale in the secondary and possibly brewing up an American Wheat!

 

[IrregularPulse]

bottling my choco-hazlenut porter sunday and if I can come up with a recipe that includes pale malt, nottingham, and everything else from the grocery, I'd love to brew a 2 gallon experiment. I just bought 2 1 gallons carboys for experimenting but have no hops anyone know of grocery items for bittering? PM me please, don't wanna get OT.

 

[NuclearBrewer]

I'll be bottling my American Wheat, transferring my Sweet (Milk) Stout from primary to secondary, and brewing a Scotch Ale.

Just wish I could have a brew while doing all of this, but my doctor seems to think my recent stomach pains are related to a peptic ulcer...so no beer drinking for a while
