[thunderwagn]

My first all grain this weekend, BIAB style.
Hefeweizen

 

[40ozBrewingCo]

Just finished my second brew of the weekend. I call it Victory for New Zealand. 50% 2 row and 50% Victory. With 4oz of Wiamea. It will likely be awful, although the wort tasted great pre hop.

Yeah, 50% Victory is a LOT. That will be an intensely malty beer. I don't think I've ever gone more than 10-15% with Victory/Biscuit malt, and it's usually more like 5-8%.

yeah, I bought it by mistake. I had a brain fart in the shop and said victory when I was thinking Vienna. Not being a quitter, I decided to toss in 6 lbs of 2 row to help conversion and give it a shot.

 

[alagaren]

I will be brewing up an ofest this saturday. Just want this friday to be over so i finelly can brew my first lager.

 

[wyccad915]

I really want to brew tomorrow, but I am not sure I will have the time. Unfortunately, if I don't tomorrow, I wont be able to any other time this weekend. I want to brew an erdinger dunkel clone extract kit I bought from AHS. We'll see what happens (optimistic).

 

[Genghis]

Have a couple of weeks off for the holidays, so I'll probably do a batch of IPA on Monday while the kidlets are in school.

 

[jake-k]

Couldn't wait for the weekend, my huge starter for a tripple was at high Krausen and had the day off soooo, brewing today

 

[brrman]

Got 10G batch of Irish Red planned for Sunday. Haven't made and IR for years so looking forward to it.

 

[isseldor]

I'm brewing a scotch ale, only my 4th brew. This is my second AG though. I'm going to split a 2 gallon batch make 1 gallon with a little vanilla.

 

[TheCADJockey]

Hoping to finally make my first stout. I'll be using midnight wheat; it's something I've wanted to use for a long time now. Really quite excited.

No Brewing, but going to bottle 5 gallons of Blueberry-Muscadine Wine. Did a straight muscadine last year (about 2 gallons) and put it in beer bottles. Tomorrow, I'm going to the LHBS and rent a floor model corker and buy some wine bottles/corks and make these look official.

[GnenieGone]

Wrong thread..but if I don't get too tanked, doing a hard lemonade for xmas....mango or raspberry don't know yet.

Edit: completed! Hopefully 10-Fidy next weekend.

 

[Bigstaubbie]

Did my first Saison. Just made a diy stir plate, works awesome. Beer smells good, can't wait.

 

[hanuswalrus]

Mashing in a foreign extra stout right now.

 

[Cider123]

Made some type of Irish red I think. Ended up around 1.046. I picked the grains based on how I was feeling at the time. I think it was:

6# MO
.75 flaked oats
.5 victory
.5 crystal 60
.5 C-150 (more like .4 and then a handful of C-80)
.25 roasted barley

1oz fuggles@60
.25oz magnum@60
1oz fuggles @20

mashed 154F
pitched S-04 at 64F

I think it's too much barley as it looks pretty dark. I should have cut back, with all that 150. We'll see

Not that I'm an Irish Red expert, but whats IBUs? Also, will 04 give too much English fruity flavors?

I'm certainly not an expert either. I have no idea what the IBU's are. I just figured the fuggles alone would make it too plain, so I threw in a little magnum to give it some bite.

The 04 may very well produce those flavors (maybe not so much at 64F) but I would think the overpowering raisiny flavor of the .5 lb of crystal 150 would mask it anyway

I'll let ya know how it comes out.

 

[CA_Mouse]

5 gallons of Dry Mead and 10 gallons of Drew Beecham's Magnum Blonde.

 

[PrairieDawg]

Just wrapped up my first batch with the new Wilser Brew bag.
A batch of a Cascadia Dark Ale of my own design.

Yes, i'm curious!

Next 10-Fidy attempt Wednesday. Using San Diego Super Yeast in this one.

 

[Michigan_Wolfman]

After a long hiatus from brewing, the Michigan Wolf Man returns to our little obsession. On deck tonight, I have an Adventures In Homebrewing Frozen Flame Steam Beer kit. Currently lacking a means of temperature controlled lagering, I opted for SafAle US-05, which has always been my "go to" dry yeast.
