Memorial Day Brewing.

[Freezeblade]

I'm bottling my ESB, and brewing a RR redemption clone with wlp golden ale

 

[DanVader]

looks like biermuncher is pretty popular for the holiday!

I'm going with the black pearl porter, with a little different hopping

 

[DylansDad]

I'm doing a Saison (kit from MoreBeer) Friday and I may do another lighter (lower abv) ale on Monday. I haven't brewed in months and figured the long weekend would be perfect. Had I thought about it ahead of time, I would have brewed last week or two weeks ago so a Father Day brew would be ready. Oh well.

 

[BeerPressure]

Looks like I'm gonna do the american amber from brewing classic styles

 

[Saccharomyces]

I'm making some house blonde ale, this will be my first time doing 5 gallons with the BIAB stove top method (2.5 gallons x2).

The recipe for 5 gallons is:
6.5# 2-row
12oz Toasted Maris Otter
6oz Flaked Wheat
.5oz Cascade 60
1oz Cascade 30
.5oz Cascade @flameout

So each minibatch will be exactly half of that.

When I pitch 10 gallons of Irish Red on Sat. I'll reserve a half inch of Wyeast 1272 starter which I will feed a fresh liter of wort to pitch into the house ale.

Memorial Day I am not planning on brewing however... I will be consuming a bunch the day b4...

We have a friends party that usually gets 250+ people... So we brewed 30 gallons of Blonde for it and order 6 kegs... Definitely won't be enough but hey who cares...

On that particular day I will be brewing a BarleyWine to commemorate the glorious day of drinking, Smoking cigars, and indulging in the most delicious food ever...

120 lbs of home made sausage
7 Deep Fried Turkeys at 20lbs a piece = 140lbs
80 lb Pig slow cooked in a China Box
and a lot of other stuff!

Its gonna be insanity!

Does Saturday count? It's Memorial Day weekend, at any rate. I'll be brewing 11 gallons of my "American Rye", in my drop-down. It's become my go-to house beer. Interesting and tasty enough for beer fans, but still accessible to the world's Miller drinkers.

 

[Rhoobarb]

I'm brewing ten gallons of this La Fin du Monde clone on Saturday. After primary fermentation is complete, I'm saving the yeast cake to reuse. I want to use it on a big, explosive Belgian Dark Strong Ale aged on bourbon soaked oak chips and bottled for several years of storage.

On Monday I'll be helping my step-daughter's boyfriend bottle his first batch of homebrew - a scotch ale.

 

[wrench001]

I'll be attempting an Arrogant Bastard clone, which will hopefully be ready by July 4th.

 

[pen25]

i will be brewing my first all grain creme of 3 crops

 

[Trubadour]

A Taddy Porter clone, assuming I can find the right recipe.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Not brewing, but will be cleaning out our new camper we just picked up and ordering ingredients for 10 Gallons of Moose Drool Clone and 10 Gallons of either Dude's Phat Tire clone (Was delicious last time) or his Lake Walk for brewing on the 6th.
Also will be filming my lines for the "I Am a Homebrewer" Video.

 

[Doog_Si_Reeb]

I'll be doing the Cream of Three Crops Cream Ale as well. I'll be switching the rice and corn amounts and fermenting with Nottingham. My hope is to have the sucker fermented, kegged, and ready for serving 12 days later for a poker party.

Wow, thats ambitious. Maybe search for the 10 Day Mild Challenge from a while back. that had some good tips for Fast brewing.

 

[beerocd]

That will put me at 20 gals to get through the summer.....

So you drink alone?

[thataintchicken]

Brewing Hefeweizen and one of this year's Christmas Brews -- a Scharfenberger Chocolate Stout.

 

[Rhoobarb]

... a Scharfenberger Chocolate Stout.

Do you have a recipe? If not, this one is a solid winner! Just drop the coffee.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I'm not brewing on Monday, but on Sunday I'll be cooking up an IPA, an American Brown and a pils based American wheat & rye.

 

[IrregularPulse]

3 brews in 1 day!! And I am dreading my 2 batch 20G Brew Day to be long!

 

[ohiobrewtus]

3 5g batches in a session is my minimum. I'd do more but I'm running out of grain and need to get an order together before next month.

 

[hammacks]

I will be brewing a Dubbel.

 

[Mirilis]

unfortunately i wont be brewing anything as all my crap still isnt unpacked from the move.. and half my brewing stuff is at a friends house (he used it to brew). But as soon as i get my stuff back im gonna be making a batch of Brown Ale

 

[Dog House Brew]

12 gallon batch of Great Divide Yeti Stout

 

[ntempleton]

I'm doing 10 gallons of Ed's Haus Pale and 10gallons of Irish Stout on Monday.

 

[flyangler18]

Haven't committed fully to one recipe yet, but I'm leaning towards a Brett-tinged Belgian using the Trappist Blend from Wyeast. Probably a simple Pils/simple sugar recipe, hopped to around 30 IBUs, 1.070ish.

After downing a few fine glasses of Weihenstephaner Hefe last night, I've pushed the Orval-ish brew back and just finalized a recipe for a Hefe. Might even triple decoct the bitch just to keep things interesting. WLP300 on the stirplate now.

 

[Chicago1948]

I will be brewing a Dubbel.

No brewing this weekend but I brewed Tuesday.
#10 Belgian Pilsner

#1 Dark Candi Sugar (no syrup damnit)

1oz Styrian Goldings (60)
.5oz Saaz (15)
.5oz Saaz (2)

Wyeast 1762 Abbey Ale 2

I am calling it Ambrosia (ok, not so original).

 

[DubbelDach]

So who's doughed in? 8:17am and I'm halfway through my mash for Blue-Eyed Blonde: BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde recipe with blueberries to be added later. Poster with tap markers for my summer series of which this is the first:

 

[DavyMark]

Tomorrow we will be brewing a Stone Pale Ale Clone.
