National Hombrew Day!!!

[The10mmKid]

Kids, don't forget the Mongster "BOOM" with every hop addition.
Luckily my Barleywine has six with a dry hop "BOOM" in a couple weeks.

'da Kid

 

[Hammy71]

Yep, brewing my all Amarillo IPA tomorrow. But, I must admit....didn't realize that tomorrow was National Homebrew Day til about an hour ago.

 

[Yesfan]

Hoping to have a double brew day tomorrow. I'll be brewing an Arcadia IPA clone and either the Texas Independence Pale Ale or the 1910 Export Ale kits I bought from Austin Home Brew and Northern. Would love to get the pipeline going again.

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah, I hear that! Only the kottbusser is left, so I gotta get the brews for book two done while filling the pipeline again. Two for the price of one. The Buckeye Red is up tomorrow. Then maybe fishing at the lake for day two of free fish Ohio weekend! It'll be 70F tomorrow & 75F Sunday, so it should be a decent day's fishing. But momma stuffed the freezer, so two batches of frozen spent grains went into the fridge. Dual purpose day tomorrow, since I'll have to dry the spent German grains to grind into flour as well as brewing & maybe some Mexican hot dogs or Steakhouse Griller burgers in the pit.

 

[Yesfan]

My other "kit" came in today, but I forgot I ordered liquid yeast, so I guess it's the Texas pale ale since the starter for it will be ready.


Some grilling sounds nice too. Might have to add that to the homebrewing manifest!

 

[Black Island Brewer]

The Homebrewers of Puget Sound are celebrating National Homebrew Day with a 5-brewer session at our meeting site, Tacoma World Beer. I'll be brewing the Killer Kolsch, andother AG brewer is doing the Columbus Pale Ale, and one AG brewer is doing an IPA. Then we have two guys making extract batches, one of them the Barleywine.

 

[Evan_L]

Your name wouldn't happen to be Chris Redfield would it?

Nope. I guess that means i'm not the only poor bastid in this spot.

 

[masaba]

I'll be taking my second crack at brewing a Munich Helles.

 

[jekeane]

Officially National Homebrew Day. Congrats all. Brewing a simple ESB. Just racked an Extra Pale Ale to free up a carboy. Going to be a great weekend.

 

[unionrdr]

Gotta get stuff outta the fridge & freezer to warm up to room temp while I wake up a bit...

Im brewing the same thing, what yeast are you using with it? I have a starter of wyeast greenbelt going

 

[unionrdr]

I was thinking of pit bbq, but wife decided yesterday to make a couple pans of lasagna for later. She's makin coffee & cleaning the kitchen so I can do my thing first. Gotta love that! :rockin:

 

[ericbw]

I ended up brewing yesterday, just because I had the time. A blonde with Meridian hops. Fir some reason, my efficiency was too good, so this will be have higher ABV than I wanted (around 5.5%. I was going for a little under 5).

My other concern is that I pitched too warm and it's taking time to cool. It's at 68 right now in the ferm chamber that's set for 63.

 

[Rolsom]

Brewing for the second time, an American Wheat kit that arrived on my doorstep yesterday.

 

[unionrdr]

My grains & LME's came in the other day for the next couple batches. Irish red PM up this morning. Maybe fishin tomorrow since it's free fish Ohio weekend as well. If not, maybe get the new recipe for the Whiskely stout going. I came up with the Irish red recipe two years ago in BS2, but never got around to brewing it. So today is a good day... It was, dammit. Forgot to pick up the spring water. Gotta run to GE & get it!

 

[sportpak]

Sunny and 75F today, some sort of AG brown-ish ale, and ribs on the ugly drum smoker. Should be a good day.

 

[unionrdr]

Whew, 7 gallons of spring water is heavy. Walking with a cane with one carry hand sucks.

 

[DerrangedPOJO]

I am not brewing but going to a blues brew and BBQ in Chambersburg PA today at 1 to 7! gonna b great!

 

[smAllGrain]

No brewing today but I did harvest some yeast last night... does that count?

 

[unionrdr]

Sounds like fun! I'm gonna get the mash water going in a minute. finally got the grains crushed, all 8.6lbs! This'll be my biggest PM yet!

 

[jimbobbillyray]

Going to bottle a pale ale today, then probably work on a "beersperiment" on a cream ale of my own silly design

 

[matt2778]

Wasn't planning on brewing today but after seeing that today was national homebrew day how could I resist. Doing back to back batches, an all simcoe ipa (hop standing as I post) and already mashing is a golden monkey lite. 70 degrees and sunny too, about as nice as it gets.

 

[unionrdr]

66F here so far & clear skies. Finally gonna get the mash water going.

 

[Hello]

Brewing a saison.

[Brewmex41]

Brewing a 100% rye and a Hefeweizen today.

 

[rewbrew]

brewing up an APA today with my first time using Mosaic hops

 

[unionrdr]

Well, I finally mashed in. But while I was setting things up, the mash shot up to 165F. Dammit. I used cold spring water to cool it down, but it went down to 146, 9 degrees lower than I intended. Dammit. I hope I didn't denature the enzymes too much. Never messed up like that before. i took the thermometer out so I wouldn't break it while stirring the mash. Big mistake.

 

[MotorcycleMatt]

Clean up time, the texas independence pale ale wort tastes awesome! Pitch the greenbelt when its chilled some in the carboy
