National Homebrew Day Plans?

[kpr121]

I think I finally decided. I haven't brewed a saison in a few years.

I may be joining you Revvy, as I have never brewed a Saison but have been wanting to. You have a recipe in mind?

My club. Sonoma Beerocrats, will have eight teams going. My team is doing "Ardley Brow Ale (Northern English Brown Ale). I think most are doing the Bucksnort Brown Ale (American Brown Ale).

Not yet. If I come up with something I'll let you know.

Planning time is coming to a close!!

So, it is decided/finalized: I will be brewing 5gal of my hefeweizen (2nd time brewing), as well as a 10gal batch of cream ale. All this with my new-fangled converted keg kettle.

The yeast starter for the hefe will be made on thursday, and I will likely be using dry yeast for the cream ale.

Seems like a great day to brew that PTE clone I have been planning (for too long).

Cinco de Mayo - Homebrew Day how fortuitous!

Cheers!

 

[Barnstormer]

My Kentucky common is ready for Derby day. Can't wait!

 

[mccumath]

Brewing a Russian Imperial Stout to be aged/ready by Christmas, and brewing Biermuncher's Blue Balls Wit. Winter and summer beers all in the same weekend! Life is good!

 

[Falcor]

i'll be brewing on the 4th instead, gotta keep my saturday open for any cinco de mayo festivities that may present themselves

 

[ZombieBrew83]

I'll be bottling my batch of EdWort's Haus Ale and brewing up my Simcoe Pale Ale recipe. If I have time I'm going to check out the big brew day at Lucid brewing in Minnetonka. Unfortunately, my current process is not mobile so I will be there on a sharing and learning mission.

 

[TheCatman]

I'll be bottling a German Porter, brewing a German IPA, and drinking a Citra Wheat. I doubt anyone else will be there, since apparently posting "Free Beer" on Facebook isn't enticing enough...

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

I heard that theres a recipe everyone was gonna brew up for the day....anyone have the recipe or know more about it?

 

[kman6234]

I'm not going to be brewing Saturday. Mainly because I brewed last week and my carboy is tied up with an amber ale right now. But also because in addition to being National homebrew day, Saturday is also cinco de mayo andddd the Kentucky derby. So instead of brewing I'll be celebrating NHD by drinking lots of homebrew while watching the derby and eating tons of guac.

I assume you're referring to this?

Trying to brew a modification of Aludwig's Legend-inspired brown ale. Hope y'all don't mind the shameless plug, but I could use some feedback on the grain bill before I order my grains today.

Brewing a belgian pale with the Wyeast Lambic Blend. Then, for National Homebrew Day 2013, we'll taste test it. It probably won't really be ready to blend/drink until 2014. I think I'll just start brewing a new sour every year on this day.

Also brewing a wheat beer for a co-worker's wedding reception. 5 gallon test batch that I'll split into 5 one-gallon jugs on top of various fruits for secondary.

Cheers!

Will be brewing a 10g batch of saison that will be split and one side will go on brett only and the other side will be given 2lbs of chopped prunes and some debittered belgian black malt tea and brett'd. Might do a 10gal batch of IPA if i'm not too wasted lol this will all happen at Big Brew @ Brew Brothers... Brats, Brewing, and Beer!

 

[pm5k00]

I have no plans to brew, I brewed a dubbel earlier this week and will be busy doing family stuff this weekend.

 

[verbhertz]

Fishing opener, no brewing. Plenty of drinking, and fishing if I get around to it.

 

[wSelwyn]

Anyone pick up new equipment in preparation?

I'll be brewing for the first time with my keggle, and I will have to prepare before hand to figure out volume levels.

 

[daksin]

I'll be off on a trip with the co-head brewer for our anniversary. We've done nothing but brew and plan the brewery for the last few months, and we'll be brewing as soon as we get back (three batches to do in the first week we're back!) so hopefully it all balances out.

Hoppy (Observed) National Homebrew Day!

 

[bscott1011]

No brewing on the 5th but will be bottling my APA and brewing porter in the 6th.

 

[chinkson]

I bought a whole kegging system in preparation for this/my birthday on the 8th, and brewed a dark ipa months ago for such an occasion. It is SOOOO nice coming home to a beer on tap

 

[wSelwyn]

Mashing.

 

[Bigcorona]

Did it!

 

[Irrenarzt]

Nice!

We had a kickass Iron Big Brew where I brewed 5 batches over a non stop 24 hour period starting the night before, through the night and all day Saturday. Nobody gave Leif a purple nurple though but we will be donating a charitable gift to Big Brothers and Big Sisters anyway.

 

[bernerbrau]

Made a starter for my dusseldorf alt which I'm brewing next weekend. Left the stove on too hot and had a huge mess in the kitchen.

I finished my brew stand on Sat and brewed Sunday
