[Whiskey]

Yep, brewing a fresh batch of my blonde tomorrow, have plans on entering it into the Brewers Cup this year.

 

[krausenmustache]

yes, first AG brew. I've spent the past 3 weeks putting together my equipment. And of course, I pick an Imperial IPA with 16# of grain

 

[chumprock]

I'm making an Adnam's Strong ale clone... I still need the Lyle's.

 

[humann_brewing]

I am brewing up Yoopers Dead Guy Clone and have my Pacman yeast ready to go.

 

[SpanishCastleAle]

Doing a Hefe on Saturday. Pretty simple: 50% Wheat malt, 1# of Lt. Munich and rest Pils to hit ~1.048. WLP300 yeast in 3 qt. starter. About 12-15 IBUs using Hallertau. Little to no late hop additions. Haven't decided on mash schedule...probably dough-in to rest @ 122 F for 10-15 minutes then infuse to 150 F or so for an hour.

Then I'll use the cake for a DunkleWeizen in a week or two. Or should I try my hand at top-cropping?

 

[BrewBrain]

I'll be doing up my base pale ale with some Victory thrown in. It's a grain school batch:rockin:

First time with the barley crusher

 

[LooyvilleLarry]

I'll be doing a Bells Two Hearted clone (v2.0) using harvested yeast, and some Centennial Blonde.

 

[DuckAssassin]

I will be brewing a Wee Heavy on Sunday. This will make three brew days inside of three weeks, and will be my first really big beer.

 

[sundaybrewingco]

Damn right I'm brewing this weekend! It's going to be 85 degrees in Philadelphia. I will be brewing outside with some of my buddies and I don't have to pay. My one buddy offered to buy ingredients! So we will be hauling the TV outside, drink beer, watch the NFL draft, and brew! Got to love weekends!

 

[Shay]

I am making a 80/- Export Scottish Ale on Saturday.

 

[nealf]

10 gallons of cream ale and 10 gallons of wit on Saturday... wewt

I'm going to buy my ingredients for Ed's Haus Pale Ale in about 45 minutes. Going to brew tomorrow morning and it's supposed to beautiful out tomorrow:rockin:

 

[Cpt_Kirks]

Not me.

Fermenters are all full, which is good. Too many lagers lately, which take up space longer.

Next weekend the Pils will be kegged, and I will either brew a premium style lager, or an american wheat. Probably the lager, so it will be ready for upcoming events.

Sounds like the perfect reason to buy another fermenter, or two.

 

[GreenwoodRover]

ME too me too
An IPA on Saturday for Ed's competition.
A Pale Ale on Sunday (if time permits) for the BK Kup.

Is that Tasty's Longshot winner? Yum.

 

[BeerPressure]

Maybe an English Mild sunday.

 

[Chris300s]

Teach a friend to Homebrew day a week early.
My buddy's are coming over for a keg cutting/drilling and brewing session.
4 rescued kegs and a Simcoe DIPA. 1.073 and 70.2 IBU's of sweet, sweet Simcoe.

 

[Boodlemania]

Brewing Ed's Haus Pale Ale tonight, using some harvested WLP001 that's sitting quietly in the fridge right now from the Centennial Blonde I bottled on Wednesday.

 

[Coastarine]

Cream of Three Crops for me.

 

[Shooter]

Bah, I wish I was brewing. Instead I'll be bottling a Mr. Beer batch and my first batch of hard cider. I might make a second batch of root beer. Does that count?

...I didn't think so.

 

[JPicasso]

Cream of 3 crops with 3 generations present. My dad, me and my 5y.o. son will be brewing, while grandma and mama go buy stuff we probably don't really need.

It will also be my foray into All-grain and my Dad's first brew. He's not really into it, but we don't have living room furniture, so he's helping whether he wants to or not. I'll try and post pics of the disaster that happens this evening.

 

[Jenks829]

Brewing some Steam Beer and bottling some Belgian Trippel. I may also go and buy another fermenter because I am out of control.

 

[Beerrific]

Is that Tasty's Longshot winner? Yum.

No it is his scaled down "Pliny Light" version, less bitter but still big on the hops. His longshot winner is a regular Pliny the Elder clone with some Northern Brewer hops added.

 

[Joos]

Bottling a cream ale.Brewing a chimay blue clone and a kolsch

 

[uglytunasaloona]

I bought the ingredients for Indian Brown Ale from Sam Calagione's Extreme Brewing about a month ago but I haven't been able to find a time to brew it. I hoping to get to it on Sunday.

 

[hamiltont]

Conical is finally freed from its Barleywine bondage... Brewing an American Wheat this weekend. Only a few more weekends left for brewing before it gets too hot so I have to add to the stock quickly!! SWMBO gave me a really funny/stern look when I mentioned converting one of the basement rooms into an "environmentally controlled" beer room. Maybe if I left beer out of it I might have had a chance but I doubt it. She's on to me...

Tell her its an enviromentally controlled {insert SWMBO's hobby here} room and just slowly start moving beer in and turning down the thermostat


I'm Brewing a Belgian Strong Brown Ale this Weekend.

 

[SugarBear]

Going to brew an American Ale from Papazian 's book tomorrow - and this time I'll be using plenty of Campden tablets. (The last few batches have had the burnt plastic funk in them and were way cidery.)

 

[dbowdit16]

I've got two empty fermentors so an Irish Red will be going into one and a Centennial Blonde in the other. I'm on pins and needles waiting for the first pull on the Ed Wort's Haus Pale that's been carbing up in the keezer.

 

[flyangler18]

Time to mill the grain and get the strike water heated!

Happy Friday!

 

[caspio]

10 gallons of IPA and 10 gallons of eds haus ale this sunday. Might keg an irish red depending on how the sample tastes

 

[macabra11]

I will be doing my first AG tomorrow! An organic Kölsch. Prost!

 

[IanP]

2nd AG on Sunday - Black Sheep Best Bitter. And maybe I'll fire up the smoker for some ribs while I'm out in the sun...

 

[bad coffee]

no brewing for me. Grain group buy gets here next friday. 600# of base grain, 5# of hops, lots of goodies. Two weeks from Monday will be a party-gyle day for me!
