Out of ideas.....What would you brew?

[beerandloathinginaustin]

One thing I never lack is inspiration for what the next batch should be. Who are these brewing squares telling you to do a pale ale?

I say it's time to bust out the random number generator homeboy! Decide how many of each grain, hop, etc you want in and give them a number. Fire up the generator and that's what is going in. You can use that for what goes in, what amount, when, etc. If it's a debaucherous mess...you expected that. If it's amazing...we'll brew it again in Austin.

That's what I was thinking.... why not just crack a Bud

 

[BrewThruYou]

French Pilsner + Styrian Goldings + Saaz + Abbey Yeast

 

[Native302]

So, that yeast is more than 7 months old?

No....none of the yeast is 7 months old. The Dogfish Mystery X yeast is on the 3rd generation and I wash all of my yeasts. I usually don't keep fresh yeasts longer than 3 months.

 

[Native302]

A quadruple, an IIIPA, a barleywine, a wee heavy....and...and...

Jesus H, how on earth did you let yourself end up with 600 lbs of grain. Just buy a small swimming pool, throw everything in and mash it. Then open ferment in another swimming pool with all the yeast.

lol...I'm not sure how to reply to that...but I'd love to try it.

<--- brewing square. Brew a pale ale since you can't lager yet and make a tasty bud light clone.
Seriously tho, I wish I had your dilemma. I'd brew a few things, like a RIS or barleywine for winter. An IIPA would be nice too. Man, if I were in your shoes, I'd brew til every FV in the place was full, then go buy a couple carboys and brew more!!!! :rockin:

no lack of inspiration here, I just like to see what you all will say and imput because you all have some good ideas, a lot of crazy ideals, and some bad ideals i.e. smimming pool mash with 600lbs grain lol

What I listed in the poll and stated in some posts is what I have lined up for the pipeline. I listed a pale ale cause it's my sesion beer.

Yeah I've seriously been slacking this summer..too damn hot..I've got 3 buckets and 2 carboys open. A quad aging w/Brett B, a RIS aging on oak, Appfelwein, and a Biere de Garde ready to bottle. My pipeline is dwindeling down.

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

Pales are my go to session beer too, so I brew alot of them. I voted for IPA/IIPA/iiipa, good winter beers, and seeing as you have a RIS going, why not.

 

[Native302]

So my pipeline is running low. Pale ale for my first, IIIPA, Farmhouse Saison, then triple

You said you hadn't brewed this year. Where did all the yeast come from? From what did you wash it?

Im sure I didn't say I haven't brewed this year. I've brewed quite a lot of beers this year. Not going to say how many gallons, as I don't want to incriminate myself, but a lot. The yeast is from those beers and seasonal strains and yeasts I've bought.

 

[passedpawn]

The Poll is for what I enjoy to drink but have yet to brew this year.

Sorry, I completely misunderstood this.

 

[edmanster]

get sum pumpkin going for october... i was thinking a pumpkin saison for me eventhough its a summer style

 

[Native302]

A friend of mine suggested that yesterday......and it sounds like it could be awesome

 

[C-Rider]

Have you ever brewed a "Roggenbier"? You have lots of rye. It's really quite different from brews based on barley.

 

[erikhild59]

How bout a bigass belgian, la fin du roids, maybe?or a kithen sinker? Boldly go where noone has gone before.invent a new beer.

Never done that before. Is it overly sweet or spicy?

 

[SailorTodd]

I would do a pale ale with FWH willamette and some MO. May in fact be my next brew. It's between that and a sweet stout.

 

[Native302]

I got 3 starters going last night. This is what I'm brewing this week.
- saison with sorachi ace and wlp670 yeast (dry hop with sorachi ace)
- belgian triple with saaz & tettanger and belgian ardenes yeast (going to dry hop this)
- belgian pale ale with styrian goldings & saaz and trapist blend yeast
