So who's brewing this weekend?

[Alpotun]

Brewing another batch of a Pale to suit my BL drinking son in-law.
Upping the ante on the hops a bit unawares...

Sparging an oat table saison. Going beautifully so far, didn't even need a vorlauf.

Starter is ready, 3711 with a vial of WLP644.

2nd go around brewing the Dragonmead Final Absolution Clone.

Writing was on the wall for this batch earlier in the week when the second step of my starter overflowed out of the 2L flask.

A friend showed up right as I lit the flame to heat up the mash water, so of course we started drinking far too early....

Good news: hit pre-boil volume exactly.

Bad news: Expected pre-boil gravity 1.072. Actual 1.052. WTF?

Whatever - added a little over 2 lbs of DME....moving on

Only when already had the chiller going did I realize two major errors:

1. Forgot to back out the :15 late addition 2 lbs of Simplicity candy syrup out of the Beer Smith recipe when calculating pre-boil gravity

2. Forgot to add the 2 lbs of Simplicity as a : 15 late addition.​

Oh well....

Curious how this will turn out with the DME instead of the sugar. Worst case scenario..I brewed beer.....

 

[mgortel]

I am brewing ANOTHER batch of Biermunchers Centenniel Blonde!

Perfect Summer brew.

Gotta love brew day!

 

[Peruvian802]

Double brew day tomorrow. One will be a Belgian enkel and the other a Citra IPA.

I've got to kill some kegs soon though for them. T-minus 3 weeks and counting.

 

[welly2]

Not this weekend. Fermenting fridge is full. Bottled a cider though. Moved a pale ale into secondary and threw some hops in with it for good measure.

 

[Gonefishing]

Brewing the first all-grain in a very long time (maybe 5ish years) on equipment I've never used, with a recipe I made up. It meets all the guidelines for a pale ale, so I'm hoping it's good. We'll see.

 

[1977Brewer]

Trying to figure out what I want to brew. I wasn't planning on it, now I'm scattered.

Brewing an IPA and a Brown Ale today... Happy Brew Day!!!!

[Genghis]

Just mashed in on my Edwort's Oktoberfest. Looking forward to enjoying it in a couple months!

 

[hifidelity]

I'm considering brewing a honey brown ale (clone of Back 40's Truck Stop Honey) tomorrow if I wake up early enough. If not it'll wait until Tuesday.

Does anyone actually read anything in this thread?

 

[myerstyson]

Does anyone actually read anything in this thread?

Yes.

Brewed a Doppelbock today.

 

[ericrichards420]

I read them all the time

 

[Oginme]

Does anyone actually read anything in this thread?

Whenever a post is made.

On brewing hiatus right now as farm work and chores take over my time, so I brew vicariously through all of you fine folks!

It's always interesting to see/read who is brewing what.

 

[unionrdr]

No brewing yet, but gotta secondary my dry stout on bourbon-soaked white oak. I wrote two recipes as well, #1 Burton strong ale, & Ordinary Bitter I'll brew 6 gallons of so I can make a gallon of malt vinegar.

 

[Firewalker11]

Does anyone actually read anything in this thread?

Yes, why?

 

[Peruvian802]

Right side is mashing a patersbier. The left is waiting for an IPA. SBSBIAB (side by side brew in a bag) fills fermenter quickly!

Does anyone actually read anything in this thread?

Everyday. Makes me dream to my next brew day and plan when it might be.

 

[Kharnynb]

vienna, brewers gold/simcoe APA made today, just cause i had bottles left

 

[hanuswalrus]

Yes, why?

Didn't mean to sound like a jerk. Had a few too many last night. I guess I just got the feeling that nobody really reads the posts because there is very little interaction in this thread, just people stating what they're brewing. I was just curious, cuz I read the posts too. Interesting to see what everyone's brewing

Btw, mashing in an IPA right now.

 

[flars]

Just pitched the yeast into Northern Brewers Velvet Rooster.

 

[cantrell00]

American Hoppy Wheat..

 

[Onkel_Udo]

Finally did my ESB from two weeks ago...but since I screwed up my volumes it is now an Ordinary bitter.

My Analog eBIAB test went moderately well in spite of multiple miscalculations on my part.

 

[mattmmille]

Brother inlaw says he'll buy the Mt. Ranier Cherries, if I brew something and use them...must be coming into season. I need to do something for the Summer, though...a lawnmower beer with Citra. Can I make those work together? Hmmm.
