[RedOktoberfest]

Very first brew day tomorrow. NB's Caribou Slobber.

Good luck man! I'll be putting my first bottles in the fridge

 

[Tupperwolf]

Got some plans for another wheat beer recipe tomorrow. I'll have to figure out how to do it and watch The Masters at the same time without boilovers...

 

[Kosch]

Not brewing this weekend, but I brewed an IPA on Tuesday and am in the middle of brewing a Blonde Ale right now. Leaves the weekend free for drinking

 

[jonmohno]

More all german beer.Something of a dortmunder/pale. German malt hops yeast.No spatzle though, blech!.. dumplings. Soggy flour balls gross.One of the very few foods I can do without.

 

[lumpher]

did a belma pale ale today with belma and tettnanger. wort out of the bk tasted like a wit wort. hmmm... wit wort... anyway, got an apa on deck for this weekend, and a toasted ipa may happen, too

 

[chuckstout]

Double brew day, one malt forward, one hop forward. With a wlp 565 cake. Thought I used it was 3724 from wyeast but I was wrong. If the malty brew doesnt go low enough I just might pitch some brett cause the recipes just dont make any sense for this yeast. This yeast just didnt seem to pop as much when not going over 80.

 

[UTPhish]

Brewing a Zombie Dust clone and a Blonde Ale today.

 

[Bryali]

I just kegged a Fat Tire clone--my first kegged homebrew--about 2 hours ago. Right now I'm at about 30mins into the boil of a Hex Nut clone that I'll be kegging as well.

Right before I started brewing I put in an order for 2 recipes from MW: Liberty Cream Ale and Rocky Pale Ale. Those will be bottled: SWMBO will get the Cream Ale for her birthday (June 1st) and I'll get the Pale Ale for mine (Aug 31st).

 

[atimmerman88]

[TANSTAAFB]

No time to brew but just bottled up two batches-1) Penitente Porter. We added dried chile to a sixer just for $hits and giggles. Picante Penitente Porter! Might have had something to do with the Jester King Weasel Rodeo we were drinking. Damn I wish I had bought an extra bottle of that! 2) A Lil Sumpin' Ryerish. Started with a Lil Sumpin' Sumpin' clone and added flaked rye. Built a starter with washed 1056 Chico. Didn't take off fast enough so I tossed in washed 004 Irish. Ryerish!

[Hawaiibboy]

Brewing Belma Motueka tomorrow. Should be fun with the 4pack of Bigfoot I have.

 

[Chance_Gardener]

Actually brewed 2 weeks ago but bottled it up yesterday. A Kolsch from an extract kit from Paradise Brewing Supplies. This one actually blew the lid off the fermenter while I was at work, so we'll see how things turn out.

 

[mmarty1]

Bottled my American Brown Ale this weekend and already have the immersion chiller in an English Ale.

If my order from Morebeer gets here on time, I will be brewing an American honey ale (similar to the White House version). Then, AG here I come!! Scotch ale kit for my first AG batch a couple of weeks later...

 

[AVLbrewing]

I started heating my strike water at 5:30AM due to my SWMBO's friend coming in town today (last minute), and us heading out of town for 10 days starting Friday. So essentially it was now or never! I have about 10 mins left on boil!

I also have a doctor's appointment today, so I was forced to drink my other favorite brewed beverage this morning, COFFEE. Otherwise I would have been drinking before the sun came up!

 

[jpeebs]

Did a spiced amber ale with an extract kit. Got to use my immersion chiller and carboy for the first time. Chillers. Are. AWESOME. took my chill time down by about 60%. Hit my gravity right on, and I've been checking every couple hours since I can actually watch it ferment now.

 

[unionrdr]

Gotta start making ice any way I can for brewday hopefully this weekend. Retired & broke with a broke car sucks.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Can you put ziplock baggies full of water in the freezer? Or, even better, rubber balloons? Would that help?

 

[1Mainebrew]

Crop Chopper Premium American Lager will start chilling in 10 minutes!

 

[justkev52]

Brewing a 10 gallon split batch. 5 gallons of Jamils Antwerp Afternoon/Antwerp Ale yeast and 5 gallons of English Pale / Nottingham yeast cake.

 

[unionrdr]

Can you put ziplock baggies full of water in the freezer? Or, even better, rubber balloons? Would that help?

I have some quart size zip lock freezer bags I use for small stuff in the brewery. Maybe 2/3's full to allow for expansion?

 

[nickel23]

I am going to brew a brewers best cream ale. I am new at all homebrewing. This will be my 4th brew. Cream ale should be light in color but a nice crisp taste correct? I have brewed a brown
ale, American amber and ipa.

Yup pretty much, light in color and flavor. It's a favorite amongst those who drink yellow fizzy beers. But I know plenty of craft drinkers that throw them back. Good lawn mower beer, or disc golf beer around these parts.
