So who's brewing this weekend?

[zacster]

Next weekend I hope to be drinking, or at least sampling, my Saison. It is 5 days into dry-hopping, and I'm going to force carb it after transferring on Wednesday.

 

[Bigstaubbie]

Not brewing this weekend. Big Summer party. Gonna have Centennial Blonde, Ginger Beer(7.3%), Blue Moon clone and a very nice RedRyePA. And for the wussies, a half of CL. 80 pounds of Firehouse chicken, 40 pounds of hamburger BBQ, 21 Qts of Old Fashion Pork BBQ and 20 pounds of hot dogs. Lots of salads and sodas. Hope I don't have to break out the Oktober Fest.

Brewing my first RIS this weekend. Big starter going now and planning on buying an O2 regulator and tank to oxygenate this beast for a healthy ferment. Using WY1728 Scottish Ale. Never used it before but read that it's proper for a RIS.

Gonna rack it onto some toasted cacao nibs, bourbon soaked vanilla beans and oak cubes, and maybe even some toasted pecans and bulk age in secondary for a couple months

Heating strike ware up currently

 

[AQUILAS]

My Austin Homebrew order should be arriving today, so I'll be able to brew this weekend. Belgian wit.

Actually, I may have to do a late night brew on Friday night because we may be out of town this weekend. Anybody ever do a late night brew before?

Started a Vienna lager at 8pm. I was finished by 130am, a little hammered too

These mid-week brews kill me. I end up having a brew, which leads to more than 2, and kills my desire to go to the gym...

 

[Peruvian802]

Amarillo saison to be brewed on Friday night. I just have to figure out how heavy of a hop hand to use.

 

[HomeDrewBrew]

[brewshki]

Thinking about brewing my first IPA this weekend. Did a Scottish 80 export last Saturday that is showing no visible signs of fermentation making me a little gun shy.

Late brews are nice. I can take as much time as I want. There's no rush because all I'm losing is sleep, and I don't do much of that anyway.

I'm hoping to sneak in a house pale or amber ale sometime soon. I have lots of recipes but no time.

 

[metanoia]

Getting together with some guys this Saturday to brew 3 different beers: 1 batch of American Strong Ale, 2 batches of ESB, and 3b batches of Brown Ale. It's all extract, so not the most exciting, but we're teaching a couple of the guys how to brew so it's a win!

I desperately need to start brewing my fall run of beers but I've been killing the overtime and haven't had time.

90 hr paycheck might make me feel better about it though haha

 

[Paul_Aris]

Sunday I will knock out 10 gallons of a simcoe ipa and 10 gallons of some sort of stout.

 

[Mishraile]

Either going to be crushing some apples and making Apfelwein (thanks EdWort!) or I will brew my Big Irish Red recipe. Its delish.

A little too much hops and a little too much alchohol to be a true Irish Red, but not too over the top either. I love it!

 

[Invertalon]

My Oktoberfest just finished primary fermentation... Moved on to the D-rest and will transfer this Saturday and lager for 4-5 weeks.

My first lager (and sixth batch overall). The taste is phenomenal so far... So excited.

 

[mattmmille]

Might be putting together a Muscadine Grape and Blueberry Wine....

 

[ericrichards420]

Fixing to make 11 gallons of my house blond ale. I started out trying to replicate a Budweiser beer only brewed with a ale yeast. This go around I'm stepping up my grain bill and removing the sugar. My last beer is good but a lil to thin for me. Also stepping up the hops to make it fit the blond ale style.

 

[schematix]

Making a 10 gallon batch of Marzen on Saturday. Dialing in my recipe little by little.

 

[Chris_Primavera]

Making the third or fourth batch of my Stone clone but with my new 15 gallon kettle.

Thinking about hopping the bejessus out of it with 4 oz of Cascade at 10 minutes.

SWMBO tasted an IPA with a big grapefruit finish and asked me if I could do that.

 

[4arrows]

Will be racking a Blonde Ale into secondary onto fresh strawberries, and will attempt to brew a Scottish 60 Shilling Ale.

 

[JonM]

Doing an altbier tomorrow or Sunday. This will be the first in a three-week, one-batch-per-weekend stretch.

After getting the September issue of BYO- 20th anniversary edition, I wish I was! Pre-prohibition lager, English IPA's, old & new, and lots of good info on a lot of brewing stuff, including o2 barrier caps. Got the itch to brew again on a cold morning here in NE Ohio...

 

[Peruvian802]

Trying the little pump for underletting for the first time. Strike water being pumped through the outlet/braided hose under the grains. It's supposed to avoid dough balls.

Somehow the pump couldn't keep up. I ended up using a pitcher for the strike. Testing the pump after it seems to be working fine now.

I guess I'll try to fly sparge and see what happens.

 

[guidz]

6gal batch of bavarian hefeweizen in braumeister

 

[Peruvian802]

Pumps doing fine for sparge.

[gestyr]

Brewing up an American Brown and putting a Cali Common into my Tap-A-Draft bottles.

 

[Johow]

Not brewing quite yet as I haven't gotten it all together but I am conditioning my new kettle while enjoying a Sculpin grapefruit IPA! Think I'll add a couple ears of corn too.

 

[Alpotun]

Mashed for a 5 gallon batch of a Two-hearted clone.
