So who's brewing this weekend?

[electric_beer]

Brewing a tasty dry stout! After the last one I decided who cares if its summer, its too good not to brew again!

*edit: 83% efficiency!! My system is finally hitting its stride!

 

[ImperialLover]

I'm doing a brown my buddy cam up with. We're naming it H&D's On The Brown Low. Recipe to follow if it's any good.

Just Boiled Up & Pitched yeast on a Dark Ginger Wheat

 

[kstater]

Water coming up to boil on a Stout

 

[Yankeehillbrewer]

Brewing up a concoction that will use all New Zealand Motueka Hops. I'm not really sure what to call it. Imperial Kolsch maybe?? Koln IPA??

9 1/2 lbs Vienna
1/2lb Munich
1/2lb Crystal 40

1oz Motueka @ 60,30,5, & Flame out

Wyeast 2565 Kolsch ale yeast

 

[DD2000GT]

Just brewed my Dirty Dishwater Hefewiezen. It got the name because as we were racking to the fermentor, my wife said it looked like dirty dishwater. Yeast is in and waiting for the fermentation to commence.

Making a Tripel tomorrow; I'm counting it as the weekend considering I've been studying all weekend for my final tomorrow. The post-exam celebration will be brewing up this 10-11% Belgian delight :rockin: Wrote up a delicious looking recipe:

13# Belgian Pilsner
2# Munich Malt
2# Dememera sugar (1# added to boil for 15 minutes, 1# added after fermentation slows down)
1# Dextrose (added to boil for 15 minutes)

2oz Mt. Hood (@60)
0.5oz Saaz (@25)
0.5oz Saaz (@5)

WLP#500 Trappist Ale (supposedly the Chimay strain)

Brewing Denny Conn's Rye IPA today. I had to make some hop and yeast substitutions based on what ingredients were available.

Update: Missed my post boil target gravity, 1.082 and only got 1.067, I was using some older crushed grain I had lying around so it's either that or my sparge wasn't as efficent as I thought. Still, the wort tasted fantastic, so I'm excited to see how it turns out. This was my first AG, in a while, without any equipment issues.

Tried my first all grain yesterday. I was going for a hoppy American pale but I blew my efficiency. At least I know what I did wrong. I expect to do a lot better next time.

 

[MBasile]

Made the starter for my pilsner this weekend. I'll brew the beer Tuesday though. Woohoo for finally getting to brew again!

 

[Daybis]

I finished a batch of APA and a starter for an experimental batch of APA.

 

[Sedge]

I'm trying to get 4 batches done before June. Last Tuesday I brewed an Imperial Red Ale with some brown sugar tastiness...finished at 3:45 AM then got up for work at 5:30. Fun.

Just pitched the yeast on my NHC rebrew of the Ginger Bread Brown. The numbers are a little different from the last time, but no snags in the process and I have better temp control now. Excited!

 

[Paul_Aris]

Just bottled and kegged 10 gallons of Bells Oberon clone Saturday. Pitched yeast in 5 gallons of cider yesterday. The local cider mill pressed some apples and was nice enough to fill a fermentor for me. Today I rack 10 gallons of IPA to the secondarys and dry hop.

 

[strat_thru_marshall]

Mashing grain for a Hallertau lager right now... 5 oz of leaf Hallertau in 5 gallons, pitching a big ol' starter of White Labs WLP838 Southern German Lager. Hopefully it will be ready to drink by mid-late summer! If I have time, I may do a quick IPA too... I just need to buy doubles of all my gear so I can do 2 different batches at the same time on brew day.

 

[cclloyd]

Hit the supply store at lunch today - doing a batch of Tampa Red this weekend. First brewday since the end of March. Time is flying!!

 

[Layne]

Brewing a barleywine saturday. Gonna pour onto the yeast cake of my SNPA clone, thats ready to keg.

 

[Bmorebrew]

Sunday I'm making a batch of the SWMBO Slayer with my brother. Picked up my ingredients today.

 

[demonrichie]

greasing the wheels to get swmbo to allow me to buy more equipment so i got EdWorts Apfelwein goin for her 3 gal

 

[masonsjax]

If I can find the time I'm gonna do an american wheat with some orange peel.

 

[wreals]

Doing a Chimay Red Clone on Saturday. I'm trying to get ahead of the "party season" at our house this summer and my goal to provide my beer, to my guests, this summer, which means I need to brew at least twice a month for the next 1 to 2 months. Which is nice because I find that the more frequently that I brew, the easier it gets and the more I'm learning.

Of course, you also start tweaking your gearing....which is never ending.

 

[EO74]

Cream of Three Crops with washed cry havoc yeast, hopefully tomorrow or sundayfor an upcomming pig roast! Gotta keep the BMC'ers happy,ya now what i mean

 

[arturo7]

Firing up the brewhouse on Sunday for an all-simcoe Stone IPA clone.

 

[Babachewy]

Starting to worry about my pipeline for a Memorial Day party. I'll have a cream ale that should be ready by then.

Brewing an extract Belgian wit this weekend, spiced with marmalade, coriander and a grains of paradise. It might not be ready by the end of the month, but hopefully I won't need it.

 

[Duffer]

NorWa club meet this Sunday. Inaugural all-grain for my new stand. Strong Scotch Ale. Yeast starter already bubblin' away. Hoping others will bring their brewing stuff too!

 

[wildwest450]

Just finished a Sam Adams noble pilsner clone. Got Dang, decoctions are a lot of work. I hope it pays off.

 

[RyanN]

I'll be brewing my first AG this weekend! I decided to go with a kit so the "process" is the only thing I can screw up and not the ingredients. The kit I decided to go with is the Karankawa Pale Ale (from AHS) after reading the thread here....plus it's getting close to summer and it's a bit lighter beer.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

No brewing but bottling 5 gal of Grateful Dead Guy and 5 gal of Pale Ale. Then racking the strawberry blonde off the berries into terrtiary!

 

[Frank99]

Not brewing as I played hookie from work on Wednesday and brewed! However, I've got an American Wheat that's been on the gas for 2 days and should be ready tonight!

 

[viking73]

Doing a Belgian, and a cherry ale on sunday

 

[david_42]

Nope! Got someone coming down for the weekend and we'll be drinking the blueberry weiss I made for her.

As a matter of fact, my banana is dancing.
