So who's brewing this weekend?

[brewNOLA]

Brewed up EdWorts Haus Pale Ale this past weekend with Sterling Hops in place of Cascade. Missed OG by 2 points - don't think I boiled off enough. Bubbling nicely now.

Also bottled 5 gals of EdWorts Apfelwein and started a new 5 gal batch of Apfelwein. Thanks, EdWort, for all the goodness you allow us to bring into the world!!

Brewing up a simple wheat beer this weekend which will be racked onto some blackberry puree in about two weeks.. Blackberry wheat! My good friend's wife has been nicely requesting this for a few months so I figured I'd give it a go!

 

[AVLbrewing]

I should hopefully be brewing this weekend. Assuming I can get my soon to arrive STC-1000 wired up I might try my hand at my first lager. If not I'll be brewing my second batch of lemon lime hefeweizen.

 

[brewcephus]

Going to be brewing my first IPA this weekend. Trying to get my ferm chiller finished up this week so I can regulate my ferm temps.

 

[Gixxer]

Brewing a wee heavy. Golden promise, c40, the smallest amount of light chocolate malt. Gonna boil a half gallon of the first running a down to a half quart and add it back to the main boil.

 

[CoalCracker]

Fiance has her bachelorette party this weekend. Going to brew:

15g Blue moon
10g Pale ale
2.5 Gallon Bourbon Vanilla Porter

Going to be a great weekend!

 

[Hawaiibboy]

I have quite a weekend ahead of me: going to be bottling Basement Beer (my house American wheat), possibly transfering to secondary my IIPA depending on two gravity readings, and brewing a variation on BM's Co3C recipe that swaps Vienna for the pale and uses two additions of saaz instead.

 

[olsonmk]

Gonna make some lime beer if I can find a decent recipe!

 

[Whippy]

I NEED to brew this weekend! I have the fever!!

I'll be brewing "Ye Olde Bliksem," an Extra Strong Bitter.

10# Maris Otter
4oz C-120
4oz special roast
2oz chocolate malt

1oz 9.8% Target for 60min
1oz 6.4% EKG for 5min

Mash at 156F for 60min
Safale S04 dry yeast

This is my base recipe that I plan to brew 10 times this year, tweaking it if and as necessary. It will be the first time with it, so we will see how it goes!

[DrunkleJon]

Sadly for me there will be no brewing, packaging the 20 gallons that are in my fermenters. Then its off to the virgin islands for a week of sailing.

 

[maybemutlee]

[mcbaumannerb]

Doing a collaboration brew with my next door neighbor - a Wee Heavy!

 

[solbes]

Brewing up a nutty Amber this weekend if it ever stops snowing. I needs the ingredients from Midwest.

 

[pannell77]

I am building my new 3 tier stand on Friday and then brewing up my car bomb stout on Sunday. Next weekend I am doing my Citra Splash IIPA and a Kolsch. Excited for the "nicer" weather here in Ohio finally.

 

[DrummoRC]

After I get out of my oral surgery I am going to brew something up - dont have any yeast so I plan to dump my wort on top of my last batch. It's ready to bottle (keg is full). I used SD 05 in my last batch have not transferred it to a secondary vessel.

So what does anyone think take most of the turb out - leaving something like a fifth of it behind?

 

[pannell77]

I would just rack right on top of what is left.

 

[TANSTAAFB]

Use Mr. Malty. It'll tell you how much slurry to use and you can measure it out. Unless you are brewing a big a$$ beer pitching onto the entire cake is way overpitching. What was the last brew and what are you brewing now? You really want to go from lighter to darker, less hoppy to more hoppy as you reuse yeast. High alcohol and high hop brews can stress the yeast out as well.

 

[Echoloc8]

Brewing up a Brains SA Best Bitter clone on Saturday. Gonna keg-condition it (as opposed to bottle-conditioning or force-carbing) and eventually serve it on super-low CO2 pressure to emulate a cask ale.

Trying to get familiar with making British real ales.

So what does anyone think take most of the turb out - leaving something like a fifth of it behind?

I would get a cleaned spaghetti jar (or similar sized) and sanitize. Fill it 1/2 full of water and boil in microwave. Let it cool overnight in the fridge. Then take a sanitized measuring cup and add 2 cups of slurry to the jar. Try to get the stuff on top; whats on bottom is mostly break/hop material.

Swirl it up real good and let sit for 15 minutes. Pitch what comes out of the first half of the jar, the trub should be mostly on the bottom. If you want cleaner yeast (with character of original beer), repeat a second time.

 

[Britinusa]

Either an Irish stout or a Belgian ale, can't decide right now

 

[mpride1911]

[BrewinHooligan]

Was going to brew last weekend, but wound up in the hospital instead. If I get an assistant to come help with lifting I will be brewing BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde this weekend.

 

[libeerty]

Man I've been waiting to brew for awhile now! Have a Smoky Bocktoberfest that I was going to brew a month ago that I will be brewing tomorrow, and a Zombie Dust clone scheduled for Sunday. Cannot wait!!!
