So who's brewing this weekend?

[user 268417]

Just brewed an IPA today because there is nothing else to do. Full grain using the Grainfather. Great system! will brew aging as soon as by fermenter is free. Just finished a knock-off of Fat Tire 3 weeks ago and will brew a Irish Red next. Stocking up on beer doing these unsettled times just in case beer is in high demand and you can't get into a store. You do need your essentials. Look for food later.

My 1st try at a hazy ipa.
6lb Pilsen lme
1lb oats steeped for 30
1oz ea citra,mosaic,Galaxy once cooled to 170 for 20 min then restarted the chiller.
OYL-200 yeast temp 80
Once hi krausen starts to slow I’ll add the same 3oz if hops
After 14 days another dryhop of the same..
Hope it turns out as good as it smells right now[emoji482]

Zombie dust and lagunitas little sumpin clone. Should be a quick turn around in case I finish the other two kegs on tap.

5 gal. Bourbon Barrel Porter. Too new to try it all-grain, so I stick with the basic kit. I need to figure out a way to limit the water that winds up all over my kitchen floor - at least it's not beer! Brewed it yesterday, so bottling in 5-6 weeks. Happy with results - 1.072 OG and soaking my oak cubes with Elijah Craig. Should have filtered wort better - lots of crud in my carboy.

Probably will brew a Sweetwater 420 IPA style IPA this week while I'm "working from home." The wi-fi reaches the garage...haha.

This looks like an enormous yeast starter!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Tomorrow or Friday I’m brewing for 12 BOC 2020. So many events have been nixed I don’t have as many events to brew for, and this one needs some aging so it will be good timing.

Sounds like a sound plan!

[cmac62]

Sunday looking to brew 10 gals of a wheat ale. 5 gals quick soured for a Berliner and 5 gals with Hef yeast with maybe some blueberry of peach concentrate for something different.

 

[Punx Clever]

I am! India Pale Lager.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Well, delays happened, so yup I’m brewing this weekend Fruit cake ale for 12 BOC 2020.

View attachment 672154 Transferred at Westy12 clone today. It willl set away for another 3 months

Now that carboy handle scares the daylights out of me. Please don't lift that fermenter when full. I tried that once, but was so lucky the neck did not break. Reading the horror stories after I did that made me never want to try that again.

 

[LokiM4]

Brewing 5 gal batch of Bavarian Pils now. My adaptation of the published recipe for the NHC 2018 champ-using a single decoction mash and almost ready to start boiling. Should be a good last lager for the cooler season.

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

Not this weekend, but I'm planning a Spotted Cow clone brew on April 11th. Formulating recipe as I keep an eye on HBT.

 

[Abrayton]

Vienna Lager and Baltic Porter

 

[BrewMan13]

Most likely brewing this weekend. Probably another IPA, since I'm not at all happy with the latest one, and have the stuff for it. Only possible complication will be how much of a pain my mill is going to be...

 

[Chorgey]

I'm going to brew a Märzen on Saturday. Yeast is on the stir plate, going to be a 2 stage starter.

 

[Brewdogbrew]

I have a strong bitters in the fermenter, should be racking to the keg this weekend

 

[brothernoonan]

I brewed 10 gallons of Belgian Dark Strong!

 

[w8av]

Transferred and dry hopped my Amarillo IPA today. Brewing Irish Red either tomorrow or Friday.

Hey, Goose! Good to see you here on HBT. Getting out and about virtually, eh?

 

[Pkrd]

Knocked off work early today and got started on a Nelson Sauvin Saison mid afternoon.

My first year hop plant that was so lovingly nurtured daily for months and months got completely forgotten in the covid chaos of the past few weeks, here's my meagre very late harvest that went in with some Nelson Sauvin at 10 minutes.

Way over chilled down to around 20°C. Pitched Mangrove Jack M29 French Saison and set the STC1000+ to 29°C.

 

[hopkincr]

What is a weekend anymore? I’ll be Brewing in the next couple of days. An IPA with El Dorado, Citra and Ella hops.

 

[Fabricio]

I'm brewing my 3 Broomstick's Butterbeer

 

[NewJersey]

What's a weekend anymore?
Brewing a Marris Otter/Cascade smash.
Still trying to decide what yeast I wanna roll with
Suggestions?

 

[Gozie Boy]

Just bottled my first Belgian Tripel, and will start on 10 gals. of Munich Helles on Thursday to have something refreshing and very drinkable ready by early summer.

 

[seatazzz]

Weekends are when I'm NOT working both my effing "essential" jobs...dammit. Trying to decide if I'm going to brew a Czech Premium, or another IPA. Have to keg the Amber lager I did a couple weeks ago anyway so might as well brew something. Nice to have a choice of what to brew with the ingredients I have on hand.

 

[skysmyzer]

I'll be brewing a Brown Ale with 3x the Crystal malt I had planned for as I rushed the order to get it on the courier before lockdown (oops). Should be interesting...

 

[Sheik_Yerbuti]

What's a weekend?
I'm brewing a Helles tomorrow.

 

[DeanRIowa]

Hopefully a Berliner Weiße, split half with Hibiscus and half with raspberry, using a kveik Voss yeast. First time trying the Kveik yeast, going to ferment at 70 & 85 degrees.

vote is settled, dark it is, i've been slacking on brewing and drinking a lot of cider...so something dark, and roasty sounds like a good change....(plus dark beers are so much easier to make! covers up my crappy brewing skills! )

With the amount of brewing you do I am sure your skills are not crappy

man it took me from 1996 when i started, to 2006 to learn i needed to sparge slow......i just ran it full open, and got like low 60's% efficiency.....lol, but in my quest for the cheapest beer, i learned!! i plan on getting probably about 90% with this store bought malt on the weekend now though! (i'm largely self taught....never posted in forums much, all i really knew was 145-158....)

edit: for the record, this is my plan, because it's what i got....

10 gallon batch scheduled for 4-4-20

20lb's pale malt
8oz's special b
1lb black patent
1lb roast rye
4oz's roast barley......and i'll love it like it's my own!
