[Yeastieboy]

Going to attempt v1.0 of my Citra Pils finally. Possibly a terrible idea, but also going to implement some LODO tactics during this brew sesh and see what happens.

 

[BeerAddikt]

Imperial Smoked Chipotle Porter brewing this Sunday...and Oktoberfest on Saturday.

Yay for weekends!

Sunday is earmarked for a brew day. I now have my harvest dried, so plenty of hop fodder for a brew session. Is it time to start the Christmas ale? Possibly. Is it time to go full stout season for winter? Also debateable. The trouble is that I have Dark malts, and I'm itching to use them!

 

[seatazzz]

Haven't brewed in over a month (pipeline got too full!) so I'm looking forward to brewing at least one this weekend. Been working on a Wassail recipe, also want to do a Dead Guy Clone again. The Wassail will be a partial mash, haven't done one of those in quite a while (yay no mash tun to clean!). Then AG for the Dead Guy. Can't wait!

The only problem with starting a Christmas ale early is finishing it off at the beginning of December. Stouts work well in fall.

The only problem with starting a Christmas ale early is finishing it off at the beginning of December. Stouts work well in fall.

The struggle is real. I'm waiting on my pumpkin for October 1. That way there's still some time for this hot weather to cool down before pumpkin season. A stout sounds nice too. I still haven't decided.

 

[20grit]

Bottling 5 gallons of blonde, and brewing 10 gallons of brown Porter.
And somewhere in all that mess, also working on my equipment.

 

[modifier]

Sunday is dedicated for mashing a weizenbock with lil bit oak smoked wheat.. just what you need for cold fall evenings...

 

[Tribe Fan]

My first lager, 5.5 gal batch from an award winning recipe of Octoberfest shamelessly stolen form this site. Oh and first decoction mash. The Beersmith instructions make it seem so easy.

 

[Redlantern]

IN addition to my own brewing, I am going to the inaugural run of my buddy's new brew rig. Went all stainless from SS Brewtech. He is hitting a very aggressive black-rye IPA. Cannot wait to see how everything goes.

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

I hope to brew a Motueka Pale Ale this weekend, been trying to find the time for the past month.

Post recipe for that one. Tried that hop recently and found it really nice

Will do.

I had it in a Gose that the owner of our LHBS brewed. I really liked the lemon/lime flavor.

 

[jerbrew]

Going to brew up a cascade/sterling APA tomorrow.

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

It is definitely happening.

Whew... Making this Pils wort kicked my butt. Going to bed.

 

[Alpotun]

Just finished the beginnings of a Gose, got the wort and Lacto in the fermenter and loaded into the chamber to keep up to temp.

 

[pshankstar]

Making a DFH Tweason' Ale clone hopefully later today or tomorrow. My wife loved the first attempt and her friend did too. So much that she asked that I make her a batch and she would pay for the ingredients.

 

[treacheroustexan]

Going to fire up the grainfather in a few and brew my first attempt at a hoppy french saison.

 

[HOPME]

Making a Czech Pils (BIAB) this Sunday with/for my father in law. Never made one before so here's hoping it comes out decent.

 

[A2HB]

Come o'dark thirty tomorrow, I'll be up brewing an Oatmeal stout. I hope I didn't mess up not getting some rice hulls for the mash, the old ale I brewed two weeks back was damn near a stuck sparge, 2 lbs of flaked oats in this one might make things even worse. Hoping for the best though!

 

[Pkrd]

I put a Black IPA down last night. First time using my stirplate and this morning the was a healthy amount of bubbling in my blowoff flask.

Cheers! I pitched my yeast at like 3pm. First time using a stir plate as well. Already have air lock activity!

Must be a stirplate virgin weekend! I made three starters on mine after finally buying it on Wednesday. Gonna be a busy day, we have a Kolsch and Scotch Ale planned.

 

[Redlantern]

Finished my DIPA "Krausenous Funk" this afternoon. Went really well. Looks like i am going to have a firmly bitter, dank and resinous brew. Apollo, Galaxy, Amarillo, Idaho 7, and Citra. Cannot wait.

 

[Dfitz]

Brewed a pumpkin ale last night. The recipe (from beersmith) didn't call for rice hulls. It didn't matter as 2 lbs. didn't help. I really don't think this recipe was meant for recirc. Thickest mess I ever met. What a workout! Not sure how it'll turn out but thought it was worth a try.

Motueka Pale Ale

Awesome!!! Thanks

 

[libardinho]

First time using my 10 gal 3-vessel system. Took me around 8 hours from starting to cleaning. Hopefully I will reduce this time when I get more familiar with new system.

Result: 5.5 gal APA

I've seen this picture before. Great shot.

 

[catdaddy66]

Going to brew a Belgian blonde ale using S-33 yeast. Also going to bottle my saison.

It feels weird not to be making a yeast starter. I haven't used dry yeast in over a year now.

 

[doriftoshoes]

I'm still a noob but I'll be brewing this kit this weekend: https://www.morebeer.com/products/american-honey-pale-ale-extract-beer-kit.html

I've just kegged a dunkelweizen and I have seven deadly C's in the fermentation chamber now...woohoo!

 

[schematix]

i am scheming an IPA with 16oz of Citra and 16oz of Simcoe.... only question is whether to split that across 10 or 15 gallons.... decisions, decisions!

 

[Yeastieboy]

Might get around to a coffee stout for winter. We'll see how things play out with the family life...

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

This ipa is 1oz each simcoe, citra, mosaic at 10, WP, and DH. Small amount of warrior at 30min. 5.5gallon batch. Mash at 155F. Had wife, who hates beer, smell it. She swore it was pineapple/mango juice. Just a thought..

Back at it after a brief break. (m)Oktoberfest this weekend and introducing a friend to the craft. After cracking open my keg of Oktoberfest from July, I realized I was going to want more soon.

 

[geoffrey-foggon]

I've got to get a batch going, keep putting it off.
