Memorial Day Brewing.

[DubbelDach]

Blonde Ale is in the bag, set to be blueberried later. Anyone ever use the Oregon pureed blueberries? How much in a light ale? I'm thinking three 15 oz cans... So just shy of 3 pounds. I have only used fresh fruit in the past.

Kicked Orange Honey Hefe during the brew... Need to get Jenny's Cream Ale in the keg in the next few days. Hit it with bentonite today (forgot Irish Moss in the boil, duh). Should be clear in 2-3 days.

Just doughed in on an 11 gallon batch of my house favorite rye pale ale. A few minor tweaks this time, subbing out melanoiden malt for dextrine malt, bump up in mash temp to compensate, and fermenting half with S-05 and half with Pacman.

I am doing a Big Spikes IPA that I located off of good ol intergoogle. It was the only recipe that calls for NZ Super Alpha. Firts time using Leaf Hops. I have a grain bag I plan to put them in. It is a PM recipe that I converted to Pale. It is light for an IPA. At least I think so. But I do Have some Boulder Beer. It is called Flashback, an India Brown Ale. Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Knocked out a Tripel this morning. The extra day gives me more time to manage the temp on it to get the right yeast flavor.

I'll have the first tasted of my smoked rye IPA with BBQ ribs on Monday, and am very much looking forward to that.

 

[Malticulous]

I'm not brewing Monday. I brewed 11g of BGS today. 90% again. All I have is Belgian Pils malt. I need a lagerater for some summer beer. Maybe in a few weeks.

 

[StunnedMonkey]

I'm brewing Mike McDole's Pliny the Elder clone and smoking a Pork Butt for some pulled pork. You'd need to get a bunch of swimsuit models to make for a better day than that.

Recipe Please. That sounds like a delicious BBQ

Holy crap, 1388 is bubbling in just two hours...and 3864 just minutes behind.

Samples have been promising, but haven't had a glass yet - I can post results on Monday.

Smoked Rye IPA
8lb Marris Otter
2lb Smoked Malt
2lb Flaked Rye
1lb Crystal 60L
1lb Biscuit
1oz Target 60min
1oz EKG 45 min
1oz EKG 30 min
1.5 oz EKG 20 min
1.5 oz EKG 5 min
1oz EKG dry hop
Appropriate salts to Burtonize the water
WLP023 Burton Ale

Mash @152 for 60

My thought is that this will be a great BBQ beer. I'm looking forward to finding out.

As for the ribs, I also made a BBQ sauce that was posted on the Cooking and Pairing part of this forum, and will use it as the mop sauce. Simple BBQ with sauce, nothing fancy.

 

[BeerPressure]

I only have a six pack of homebrews left for tomorrow. What am I gonna drink today?

 

[Emian]

Well, if you want to try something different, and you like IPA - try a Black IPA.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but in the Pac North West, black IPA's are becoming more popular and there's now talk of adding a BJCP category for it (according to one of the micro brewery brewers I talked to).

It will be my next beer - I just haven't decided how to blacken it yet. What I've been told is to start with your favorite IPA and add 2- 5% (total) of some combination of Black, Roasted and Chocolate.

But I'd love to hear form someone whose tried making one.

Ian

5 Gallon ESB set for tomorrow...

[Picobrew]

I brewed Yooper's Anchor Steam on thursday night, doing Brandon's Graff tonight and then hoping to do EdWort's Kolsch tomorrow. Thanks to HBT I have no shortage of recipes to try.

 

[bashe]

Well I over shot my OG so now I have a scottish 80/- fermenting. I also just racked my blonde ale onto 4# of blueberries.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Wrapped up last night at about 8. 5g each of IPA, American Brown, American Amber and American Rye

 

[TeufelBrew]

Wasn't going to work out to do the double today, so I did a Pliny the Mild Child from MattupNorth. Looked interesting.

Got the brew day done in 5 hours! Schirron plate chiller is much faster than the IC. Helps that the rythm of brew day is becoming second nature.

Also did some work on my keggerator. Sealed the bottom up well and got a fan installed to move the air better and eventually get it into the tower.

 

[Saccharomyces]

10 gallons of Irish Red in the fermenter. I was too hungover to brew on Sat. House ale will be later this week.

 

[bashe]

I just made a batch of JOAM, just waiting on it to cool down some to pitch the yeast.

 

[ajf]

Bohemian Pilsner. First lager, first decoction. long brew day.

-a.

 

[BeerPressure]

the american amber brewed just fine today.

 

[jackson_d]

English IIPA who's recipe just kind of came to me while I was wandering the LHBS. 1.092! Tasted good and bitter considering how much sugar. First time I did a 90 min boil. Safale S 04... we'll see in about 6 weeks!

 

[TwoHeadsBrewing]

Just finished cleaning up after brewing a new Pale Ale recipe. Hit all my numbers and got some crystal clear wort after cold break, so I think this one will be a tasty one! One carboy pitched with a pack of 1056, the other with two packs of Safale 05...should be fun to compare the difference, if any. Either way it should be a tasty adult beverage!

 

[PortageeExpress]

10 gallons of a Rye Wheat with Safale 05 for me today. Unfortunately, I got careless and got a nice burn on my arm (spray from the immersion chiller shortly after I placed it into the boil), but still a good brew day.
