So who's brewing this weekend?

[LibertyBrewer]

I did a honey amber on friday, and pitched it on a Nottingham yeast cake. On sat. I did 5 of Nierra Sevada pale ale.

I have 5 in a secondary, and 2 primarys full. Life is good.

 

[motobrewer]

Christmas Ale.

it feels good to be at max fermentation capacity!

 

[flyangler18]

I'm torn between a Roggenbier and this Rye IPA . I'm thinking the IPA is going to win.

The Roggenbier won.

+1... I just hit mine as well! Two five gallon batches of cider and a nut brown :rockin:

 

[mmb]

Twenty five minutes into the mash on Orfy's Hobgoblin and already have the grain measured, milled and ready for a standard 70/20/10 Dry stout.

First brewday since March 8th '09! Gotta take a break in the middle to run my dad to physical therapy and radiation, but at least I'm mashing again...

Sweet! Good way to get back in the saddle, Matt. :rockin:

Thanks Jason.

Spent a few hours cleaning everything this morning and finding bits and pieces that were missing. Killed off the last of my flaked barley as well. Time to put an order in...

*chuckle*

 

[humann_brewing]

Fermented in a van down by the river?

Aromatica Maibock last weekend...Aromatica Pale Ale this weekend...and racking Devil May Cry.

 

[FireBrewer]

Gonna try to fit in a Wee Heavy and a dry stout this weekend, if time allows. :rockin:

 

[flyangler18]

While it's not the weekend yet, I'm rockin' my 70/- this afternoon, time permitting.

 

[elmetal]

Im gonna rock an Imperial IPA tonight (90 ibus, 1085 OG) thanks to chefchris

[PseudoChef]

Milk Stout
Special Bitter
Maybe something else for this huge slurry of Denny's 50. American Pale Ale probably if I have the hops.

 

[humann_brewing]

5 gallons (PM) of Helles for TAFTHB day.
5 gallons of Saison that will get Flanderized in the secondary.

 

[TwoHeadsBrewing]

Got a starter going for brewing my stout on Teach A Friend To Homebrew Day. Actually, it's going to be a group brew day at Caspio's place and all three brewers there will be brewing this same batch...with different yeast. I'm using US-05, Caspio is on Wyeast 1056, and the other guy is getting some California Ale yeast from a local microbrewery in Oroville. I think there will be some sort of "stout-off" in January!

 

[Whut]

I'm in the process of modifying my brew stand so if I get it back together I'll be brewing. That's a big "IF" though.

Going to brew Tasty's APA (Pliny Light) if I can borrow my friend's burner to make the day go easier.

Haha, what a coincidence. Friday I'm racking my first brew with Denny's Fave 50 yeast, washing the cake, saving a couple of mason jars, and pitching the rest on Sunday into a Pale Ale. Never used this yeast before but I don't think I've ever had a yeast starter smell so...clean. Starter flocc'd extremely well too.

 

[starrfish]

brewing another strawberry wheat (out of season but still good) 11/6
bottling improved "double diamond" 11/7
Helping buddy brew 2nd batch 11/8 or 11/9

 

[pdbreen]

Weather looks like it will be pretty decent around here this weekend, so I just smacked a pack of Belgian Abbey yeast to get a starter going tonight. For the weekend, I'm shooting for a double -

Phat Tyre & Lefse Blonde

This will be my 3rd generation with it - so that should tell you how happy I am with it. Exactly as the description says: excellent malt accentuation and I hit exactly 75% attenuation with both brews. This will definitely replace S-05/001/1056 for me. Took a little longer to floc for me, but them's the breaks :cross:

 

[annasdadhockey]

Doing up 11 gallons of EdWort's Robust Porter, minorly tweaked.

 

[ibrewit]

Brewing a Vienna Lager, all grain, 10 gallons on Saturday.

 

[khanti]

Brewing with a local club on Saturday and then Sunday probably a chili beer with a friend who's new (newer than me, anyhow!) to the hobby.

 

[HBRunner]

I've got to rack a Centennial Blonde to secondary, and the brew up a Dead Guy clone tomorrow......Should make for a good day!

 

[masonsjax]

Whipped up a WLP550 (Belgian Ale) starter last night for another batch of SWMBO Slayer I'm gonna brew tomorrow. This yeast should be a little less tart and more spicy than WLP400, but I've never used it before.

 

[Brewmoor]

I have an ESB that I am going to brew up this weekend.

I also have to bottle a batch of IPA. That should keep me busy and having fun for a least one of the days this weekend.
