So who's brewing this weekend?

[masonsjax]

I'm mashing right now. It's a light colored (11 SRM) American Pale Ale grain bill, using Tettnanger hops (30 IBU) and racking to a Belgian yeast cake (Wyeast Forbidden Fruit). It should be interesting.

Hopefully brewing Yoopers Hoppy Amber ale this weekend if I can get my propane burner windscreen built and installed

 

[dpatrickv]

Seeing as I just ran out of two beers, and in danger of running out of two others, my line of experimental new brews will be coming to an end this weekend. I will be rebrewing my saison and my Saison pale ale(APA w/3711).

Just walked outside to pick up my son from job #1 about 2:50pm,& the UPS man shows up. Came back to my 2lb jars of PBW & my PM Traditional stout kit. The fun part is,they gave me duplicate batches of the grains. Too bad they were crushed. Musta forgot to tell'em not to. Now,do I brew 2 batches of my Whiskely,or one batch of Whiskely & a batch of brown ale or porter? Decisions,decisions...

 

[Renegades_Brew]

I've got two options for brewing this weekend...

Option 1: Pumpkin Ale #2
Option 2: New Glarus Wisconsin Belgian Red Clone #1 (Collaboration with local home brew shop)

Benefits and downsides: I have all the ingredients for both. However I don't have the fermentation space for both. (currently have about 17 gallons of cider going). New Glarus Clone is going to require 1 year in primary and 1 year in secondary... So I kinda want that to get underway sooner so I can try it sooner.

Oh and a buddy of mine is going to want to do an IPA to have on tap at my place soon... I think I need more carboys...

[DerrangedPOJO]

Brewing another cream of three crops on friday. Took a vaca day to brew!

 

[unionrdr]

I'm gunna bottle my Cougar Country IPA to open up another fermenter for a PM Traditional stout.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Hopefully I can get a couple rooms of painting done on Friday, brew up 10 gal of cream ale and smoke some meat Saturday. I only have maybe 5 gallons left total in my keezer. The Breakfast stout is resting for another week and will not be touched without the consent/help of my cousin who helped me brew it. Luckily she lives a couple doors down and will be by to help drink it often.

 

[Lost_Arkitekt]

I'm brewing an all-grain Left Hand Milk Stout clone and an all-grain Ordinary Bitter...made up recipe for a "session ale" that I used leftover ingredients for. Both are 10 gallon batches.

 

[Trail]

Gonna try to brew this weekend. If I'm lucky I'll get six gallons of 80 shilling into the carboy. If I'm not lucky it'll rain again... maybe I'll drop by the LHBS for some extract supplies I can brew with inside on the kitchen range.

 

[Medicbrewer]

Getting a starter going for an American Red to be brewed this weekend.

 

[plankbr]

Making a starter Friday night for my All American Cherry Stout to be brewed on Sunday. 10 lbs. of cherries.

 

[jnr1005]

Going to brew 2 sunday. Still trying to figure it out so I can get the supplies today and start my starters. Thinking Lagunitas Brown Shugga. Also considering a Belgian Double....but not sure yet. So many choices and only so much space and time!

 

[carlk47]

Brewing up a batch of NB Smashing Pumpkin Ale on Saturday!

 

[pluchar]

Brewing up a batch of NB Smashing Pumpkin Ale on Saturday!

Just bottled mine!

 

[Frige]

Yesterday I transferred a vienna lager to keg so the fermenter is open. I picked up all the grain to make my big blonde. At 6.8% abv and very tasty its always a hit with the buds, keg doesnt last long .

 

[doornumber3]

Trying to brew both days. West coast iPa and hop juice. Hoping to have 4 cases bottled and the. All 4 carboys working.

 

[Clef051]

Does today count as the weekend. if so I'm brewing a wee heavy just started the mash about ten minutes ago.

 

[unionrdr]

Gunna boil some water & weigh out some dextrose to make the priming solution for my Cougar Country IPA in a bit. Need to open up a fermenter for a PM Traditional Stout tomorrow morning. Gunna wash the US-05 yeast today to save for a starter for my Snowbound vanilla porter after the other fermenter opens up. Got a Italian spigot for it to replace the too stiff barrel tap on it now.

 

[ColoHox]

Going to GABF instead!

If you think it counts, and it feels like the weekend, it counts. Jealous!

 

[Reggie22]

Starting now. AG setup is not ready yet so extract it is. Honey Brown Ale.

 

[unionrdr]

Got the fermenter cleaned out & soaking clean for filling with a stout later,if I can ever get my mash going after cleaning everything. Gunna wash the same yeast from the Maori IPA next weekend. Maybe brew the robust porter next Sunday.

 

[ittybittykittycommittee]

First imperial stout, second all grain! I was really looking forward to fermenting in the 15 cu ft freezer I bought from a friend. Too bad it doesn't actually work...Adios dineros!

 

[unionrdr]

Got the BK/MT heating up for the PM Traditional stout kit from midwest. This should be decent by Christmas made into Whiskely. Yesterday's bottling day was interesting. I left the muslin grain sack contqining the 3.5oz dry hop in the FV as I racked to the bottling bucket. As the level went down,the bag came to rest against the inside of the spigot. the remaing 6 bottles or so worth was filtered through it. Boy,did that smell good!

 

[Yellowirenut]

Tomorrow morning...with the sunrise

Andes Mint Chocolate Stout

 

[unionrdr]

I'm about half way through the boil on my PM traditional stout now. boy that smells good with 1oz NB for bittering. smells like stout with coffee already. Gotta dry hop my new batch of Maori IPA after I pick up my son from work & get the stout in the fermenter.

 

[Hello]

Halfway thru my second 5 gallon batch. The toasted coconut stout turned out amazing. It's thick and creamy. I'm in love. The second batch is a Christmas ale. Looking good so far. Smells great. Wish it were earlier but I got held up with other stuff this morning. :-(

 

[Hello]

Tomorrow morning...with the sunrise Andes Mint Chocolate Stout

now I'm intrigued. I love Andes Mints and beer. This is a win win I bet. Recipe?
