So who's brewing this weekend?

[downtown3641]

I mashed in a Dusseldorf Altbier about a half hour ago.

I'm 20 minutes into the boil on a Belgian Double Wit.

 

[mattmmille]

Boiling up some American wheat with citra hops and sweet orange at flame out...maybe more orange in secondary, if it needs it.

 

[jimmyhat]

Brewed up a nice Citra IPA this morning.

 

[JonM]

Mixing up a simple cider that will become a Zombie Killer clone. I made a Zombie Killer clone a couple weeks ago. It's about time to add the honey and cherry juice to the fermented, stabilized cider and, wouldn't'cha know it, I got twice as much honey and cherry juice as I needed so, drats, I gotta make another batch. Wouldn't want to be wasteful. And the grocery store had some nice apple juice on sale too.

EDIT: I'm following KeyWestBrewing's recipe in this thread.

Moved my set up from extract to BIAB this weekend. Doing a simple SMaSH to test things out. I almost put a hex on the whole damn thing by not having a beer in my hand!

Annoyed! Went and bought all my supplies for a second weekend in a row of brewing, making a Belgian Blonde, trying to make something similar to Leffe's Blonde. Woke up refreshed ready to brew today and went to get everything ready....opened my brewing box and saw my stir plate and beaker sitting there!!!!!Sh&$ Mother f$@$er!! Is all that could be heard! Forgot to make a starter! So that is what I did today....will brew Monday after work.

[Hello]

Boiling up some American wheat with citra hops and sweet orange at flame out...maybe more orange in secondary, if it needs it.

Did you want that propane burner I have?

 

[DrunkleJon]

Halfway through the boil on a 10 gallon buffalo sweat clone to break in my new pot. All this while my new roomates/tenants move in.
It is a beautiful day, the brew session is going spectacularly aside from my cordless drills battery dying. It smells and looks amazing.

Brew turned out almost perfect. The 'empty' propane tank managed to hold out through the sparge, the other one lasted the entire boil. The new BK worked like a charm, though leaked a little around one of the weldless fittings (lost maybe 2 tablespoons through the boil). Had to move a zombie dust clone batch to keg because I needed the fermenter. What a great problem to have, full fermenters.

And through all this I had an enthusiastic assistant brewer (a friend who wants to learn to brew, has helped me on one other batch before.)

Yum! Sounds delicious. If I were moving into a place where my landlord was brewing, I'd be terribly overly excited.
I don't want to jinx myself, but things are going well here too and the day is damn glorious!

Edit: I jinxed myself. It rained a bit and my 5 gallon batch turned into 3.5 in the fermenter. Ugh. Dialing this **** in is not easy at all.

My new tenants are great people, one overdid it on apfelwein last night. At least one or two of the three of them want to help me brew in the future, the other I am going to teach to use my smoker.

I am sorry your batch didn't go as planned. Dialing in is a huge pain, but once you manage it you are set.

I've borrowed one from my brother in law, but if you have an extra...sure! I just grabbed a beer at Fortnight...open till 11pm!

 

[tjmac5071]

Doing my first all grain tomorrow. 5 gallons of IPA.

I mazed today, and burned my foot in the process (I had to boil a liter of water, because honey is troublesome to work with). If I'm able, I'll brew tomorrow.

 

[stbnj]

Brewing an all Centennial session beer with pale ale malt, golden oats, biscuit, and c40. I will probably use s05 or Mangrove Jacks M44. I am also hoping to brew a Black IPA following the El Jefe clone in the IPA book. I've got some 1217 in a starter for that one.

Wow, way to dive into the deep end.. Good luck, that's a very challenging AG

 

[day_trippr]

Woof. Long day today, forgot I had to keg a couple of batches before I did the two I had planned for today. Got the kegging done while strike water heated up, then did the American Wheat and a Dark per the plan.

Ibuprophen and a nice Citra Bomb were both welcome when it was all over

Ferm fridge is full, carb fridge is full, keezer has all six faucets running cold and normal. Life is good!

Cheers!

Did an oatmeal stout yesterday. Came out perfect. Had my thermometer break and my backup freak out cuz it got wet during sparge. I'm pretty sure I sparged with like 155 f water, but still got 85% eff.! OG ended up at 1.061. Target was 1.059.
Then I took a nap, and drove to a friends house and helped him brew a Wookey Jack Rye IPA clone. Tasty

 

[Lost_Arkitekt]

Read someone's post from yesterday that they were having 56°F weather. I'd give an eye tooth for something around the 40°F to 50°F range which would mean the garage water source would be unfrozen. I don't mind the cold...just hate carrying 30 gallons of water from house to detached garage and then having to go back inside to rinse stuff off.

This recipe sounds very good...my Cider recipe is a bit more basic...with just the apple juice, corn sugar...and cinnamon sticks. Then back sweeten prior to bottling with brown sugar and four cans of frozen concentrate....Ohh yea..and I use the White Labs English Cider Yeast.

 

[DogStar]

I've just finished brewing a session bitter which has gone into the fermenter. I've bought some new kegs I want to try out so I made a recipe using some hops I needed to use up. I'm also trying a variety of pale malt I haven't used before called flagon. I got 4 points higher SG than I usually get when using MO with the same recipe so it looks good so far. I'm looking forward to tasting it.

 

[ChefRex]

Put 5 gallons of Groundhog IPA in the fermentation chamber.

 

[Toy4Rick]

I had 2 buddies over,

1 brewed a Mr. Beer Sierra Nevada Torpedo
The other brews an Imperial Stout
And I double brewed, first batch was a Pliny the Elder and the other was a Ginger beer

I have a Hef and Honey Red Ale on tap, Oh I can't wait to actually have 4 different beers on tap. Wait, I only have 2 taps, better get that fixed real soon :rockin:

Just got done cleaning up after pitching ECY29 on a hop bursted APA. Should be ready for my birthday!

 

[Konn]

Just finished my 20th batch! This is the only time so far that I haven't tried a new recipe (yet) and ended up going with my favorite so far, which was an american amarillo based red ale...wanted something special for #20

Here's a pic of the original from last year...

Just dry hopped a ruination double IPA. Only my second brew, many many more!!

I am brewing right now instead of watching the Super Bowl like most of America. It's a partial mash red lager of my own design called Q'apla!ger (warrior and galaxy hops, natch). Trying out my new 3500W induction burner which is working like a charm. I was hoping to also test my new NB 10G MegaPot 1.2 but unfortunately the weldless fitting leaks (they sent me a new one gratis which will arrive tomorrow, but I couldn't wait so I am using my old ceramic-coated steel 5G pot which seems to be induction compatible too)

Did my FWH, now I'm just waiting for the proper boil-off to "flame"-out (weird term with a flameless burner) and add the galaxy (and some amarillo even though it doesn't have any connection to the Klingon theme)

Brewing at the office since I haven't put in my double pole 220V circuits yet for the induction burner. Hopefully the smell has dissapated by tomorrow morning. Running a little over an hour behind schedule, unfortunately for my wife (our 3 year old is a bit of a firecracker). But I will return the favor in some way.

I have herd this so much I have never done a extract brew. Started with an all grain and have been grainin ever since. Buddy called me crazy. I guess I'm just a natural brewer. Don't think I have ever missed my mark on anything. Always have above average brews. I think it's just being prepared. My stout yesterday was supposed to be 1.059 OG. Got 1.061 with a 29.34 PPS and 84% eff. With a homemade setup. I love this hobby. I pretty much suck at everything else. If I could just make days longer so I wouldn't run out of beer I'd be set

 

[cjb999]

Just put 5 gallons of Dead Ringer in the bucket! Smells awesome looks awesome! Love this stuff. First time in my life I actually followed ALL the instructions on anything. Many thanks to the forum members...got a lot of help. What a day...Smoked a salmon, brewed a beer, and fired some high powered rifles. Cheers.
