So who's brewing this weekend?

[AdamM]

Brewing a Chocolate Banana Stout on Sunday morning.. chocolate stout fermented with hefe yeast (WY3068)

That sounds delicious. Might need to put one of those on the schedule

 

[Brewenstein]

Brewed a pale ale last night.

 

[brettwasbtd]

Brewing up a session IPA right now! First brew in the basement brewery...crossing my fingers everything goes well

 

[sablesurfer]

Getting started on a quick IPA, shooting for that 'old skool' citrus/grapefruit kinda IPA and no dankness. Magnum for bitter, amarillo and citra through the rest.

 

[day_trippr]

I brewed a Trappist refectory ale last month that never made it to the keezer - we picnic-tapped it in the carb/conditioning fridge for samples and then ran through that puppy in two weeks (with no less than six other beers on tap).

It's an emerging star in our constellation of recipes.

Soooo...I'm gonna fire up the big kettles and brew up a double batch tomorrow. The 4L wy3787 starter is crashing, just gotta make four pounds of Belgian Candi tonight and the morning lift-off will be good to go...

Cheers!

[edit] Done And Done!


It's All About The Pipeline!

 

[Mexicanconnection2002]

10 gallons pale ale with Apollo, Azacca and Mosiac. Trying to figure out the dryhop for the separate batches.

 

[corkybstewart]

I need a quick ESB to round out my taps, something around 1.060 without much hops punch. I'll probably brew early tomorrow morning before the heat gets unbearable.

 

[user 30639]

I've got the grains steeping for 5 gallons of a Belgian Cherry. Had gas station tacos for lunch, listening to baseball, and brewing. It's going to be a good Sunday

 

[cantrell00]

Did my first 11 gal split with a friend. Hit our volumes and OG perfectly.

Jai Alai

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Doing skeezer's zombie dust clone for the 5th or 6th time.

 

[xandersaml]

Put a batch of cider in fermentation yesterday afternoon. Finished a batch of KolscheRyeWeizen at about 12:30 this morning, sitting beside the cider.

 

[govner1]

Moved my brew day to Tuesday for my Lemon Drop/ El Dorado IPA.
Next up is an Edmund Fitzgerald Porter, the a Red Rye Child.

 

[TheMadKing]

Just pitched a batch gone awry... Such is life with new equipment.. Sigh.. I was going for an deschutes red chair clone with an OG of 1.068. Ended up with an OG of only 1.050 due to too much volume and a MUCH lower than expected BIAB efficiency. Hopefully it still comes out drinkable

 

[Brizzo]

Just finished up a small IPA with galena nugget and citra. Overshot my gravity, my efficiency was above my normal 75%. Whirlpooled with galena and citra. The hydro sample was very tasty. I am gonna dry hop or with citra and something yet to be determined. Maybe nugget. Dunno

 

[frozennorth]

Just finished a 5 gallon extract Pale Ale. I used some mystery wild hops a friend brought from the Pacific Northwest. This was the first time that I used whole hops and they sucked up about 1/2 gallon, which I did not account for. So, I actually got 4 1/2 gallons. Using S-04. Looking forward to see how it tastes.

 

[EcuPirate07]

Did my first SMaSH beer today for a buddy wanting to drink some Homebrew for the Aldo v Mcgregor fight on July 11, here's to hoping it can be ready in time. First brew since my back surgery last month. Felt good to brew again, also got to use my Father's Day immersion chiller gift today, I can't believe how much time I wasted with ice baths.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Brewed my once-every-three-years hop bomb, an Imperial IPA (seriously, last hop bomb I brewed was in 2012) yesterday, already chugging along happily. Tomorrow (yay holiday), two brews a little more my style, doing a Wee Heavy and Scottish Export/80 Shilling. Targeting 21°P for the Wee Heavy and 12°P for the Export, should work out to respective 8.5% and 4.5% ABVs if attenuation does what it should. Doing a blended runnings partigyle, with a larger grain bill, collecting first, second, and third runnings, blended to give me the right preboil volumes/gravities for both batches. More consistent than simply first runnings for big beer and subsequent runnings for small beer, and hopefully better flavor to boot.

 

[yukonhijack]

I brewed a Cascade IPA on Sunday. I overshot my efficiency a bit, and adjusted the hop additions to compensate. I went through all of my harvested yeast on the last batch of Yooper's Stone Ruination IPA so I started up with a clean 1056. My OG was 1.060 and it is chugging away in my new fermentation keezer with my newly built STC-1000 temp controller. Interested to see how truly controlled temp works out on my beers, and glad to be done with water baths and frozen water bottles.

 

[Calichusetts]

Bourbon rye barleywine bubbling away. Came in over my expected OG. Hit 1.115

 

[BGBC]

Brewing refill #4 for my Brett Saison solera right now.

 

[brewprint]

Brewing the American Wheat again this weekend. I think I may use an ounce of knockout hops and possibly dry hop a bit.

Then depending on how bored I am since my boat is in the shop; I may head to the LHBS and brew some more. Decisions, decisions, decisions

 

[Genghis]

SMaSH on Saturday to avoid a trip to the brew shop. 10# MO mashed at 152, 1 oz Cascade each at FWH, 20, 5, and dry hop. I'll let US-05 do the dirty work.

 

[Komodo]

Brewing 12-14g of a straight up pale on Saturday, 14lbs of 2-row, ~8lbs Marris to keep it interesting, 3oz ea of Cascade and Citra. S-05.
I plan to drink heavily and blow stuff up also. My beers aren't named, just numbered - but I asked someone what I should call it since it's the 4th. Something super American, over the top. With a crazed look in their eyes, they said "EagleFire" which I freaking love. So, EagleFire IV pale it is.

 

[philipCT]

Monster Imperial Stout sparging right now. 11 gallon batch - 38 lbs of grain. Should OG at 1.1 or so.

It's been a brute of a brewday. Got started late due to being at a friend's birthday party last night and not really snapping outta bed all bright-eyed at 5am :cross: Then screwed a couple of things up which took some time. Didn't hit my pH's for reasons that completely baffle me. Same as last brew session, which is very unusual. I think my pH meter needs a new probe.

Feeling good about getting this stout brewed in time to put it up for four to six months for aging. I'll keg half and bottle half of it for longer term aging.

 

[andvari7]

Finished at 1:30 this afternoon. My immersion chiller sprang a leak, and I clogged two Pur filters, but everything else went according to plan.

 

[z-bob]

Right now, brewing the beer I was supposed to brew last weekend. For 4 gallons:

• 7 lb pale ale malt
• 4 oz Special B
• 1 oz Bramling Cross @60 minutes
• 1 oz Bramling Cross @2 minutes
• S-04 yeast.

 

[Mermaid]

Just pitched the yeast on my first batch in about a year and a half (last year was spent working on my house).

Belgian Specialty Ale
7.5 lbs. Belgian Pils
1 lb. Wyermann Abbey Malt
.25 lb. Light Crystal

1 lb. local honey (Forgot to put my honey in at flameout so I pitched it in when I racked the beer to the fermenter...gotta live a little dangerously)

Hops:
1 oz. Fr. Streisselspalt - 60 min
1 oz. UK Kent Goldings - 15 min
.25 oz. El Dorado (15 min)

Using the Wyeast PC Leuven 3538 strain.

Going for something a bit like a Saison but with a different hop profile.... should be in the neighborhood of 30 IBUs.

Of COURSE impending disaster would strike.. my brand new stainless steel wort chiller sprayed cold hose water into the cooling wort.. so I ended up boiling it again for 5 minutes once I tightened the d*mned hose fittings on the chiller.

OG came out a little lighter than I thought it would be.. 1.052 vs. 1.056 but I'm sure it will still be BEER when it's done.

Tasted the wort... nothing off or funky... so we'll see what the yeast does with it.

Glad to be back in the game! I really missed this hobby.

I was thinking about brewing 8 gallons of an Orval clone this weekend. But when I got up this morning there was an ambulance in front of my neighbor's house.

I don't want to be an insensitive prick, brewing in our shared driveway if one of the older sisters passed away last night.

It could be a brew made in memorium...

I need to brew something! It's been a month since my last session.

 

[BaylessBrewer]

Brewed a Kölsch up today. Overshot my volume by .5 gal using a new BK and burner but only lost a few points. Was looking for 1.056 and came in @ 1.052
