So who's brewing this weekend?

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Yellow Rose....Pilsner/Mosaic smash.

 

[tracyk]

Just finished brewing an American Brown Ale and it smells wonderful. Can't wait for it to ferment.

 

[Wolfdust]

Brewing a Belgian quad or Mrs Cary's good ale. I'm not sure what but I will brew something at the club meeting.

 

[user 224599]

I have a Kolsch extract kit queued up for my second brew day. I hope to have the craigslist True GDM online as fermentation chamber first.

 

[Nicegirl]

Going to brew a batch of my Marzen lager this weekend to give it plenty of time to lager nice and smooth.

 

[Double_D]

Wife has been asking me to brew a beer she likes. Looks like it's gonna be a Hoegaarden this weekend.

Just do this a arrogant Bastard or something and scream "how does it taste"! Until she likes ipa.

 

[govner1]

I have 6g AG Hoppyum clone planned on Sunday

 

[schematix]

Came home from being gone all week to a finished Bock fermentation... so I kegged it. Now fermentation chamber is open for a DMaSH MO/C45 + EKG ale that i'm brewing tomorrow.

 

[Peruvian802]

The wife's favorite - citra IPA. This time with 1318 instead of Conan.

Mashing in BIAB style.

Brewing a yet to be named IPA with late additions of Simcoe, centennial & centennial!
I let my kids name my beers!

Awesome! My granddaughter is naming mine. Super Snake Simcoe IPA and post kegging sample of Black Cheetah Imperial Stout (Hunahapu clone).

Not the weekend, but going to brew on Monday I believe. Going to do my take on an Irish red (admittedly it was an Irish red I pulled off beersmith and tweaked only a small bit) and going to do a couple 1 gallon batch of straight two row for my wild yeast. Can't wait!

 

[Stillraining]

Pulled off a 30 gal brew day. 7 hours out the gate to end of clean up. I'm all wore out.

 

[Shalenkur]

First I wanna thank everyone for making this site a great treausure for all us homebrewers! This is my first post. Gonna do a 11 gallons of SMaSH pilsner tomorrow on my herms. German pilsner malt and saaz hops. With temperature in the 90's it will be a sweaty brew day!

Amen! Central Texas was 92.

 

[stella_tigre]

Today heat index was in the upper 90s - tomorrow's high is supposed to be 80, so Brew Day! The cream ale is still in last fermentation stages but the Flat Tire Crone is over half gone. Getting ready to do Da Yooper's House Pale Ale (no Crystal 20 though, gotta use 40...) Yay!

 

[Dixon9717]

What I like about having a mill, buying grain in bulk and stocking up on hops is I don't have to plan a brew. I can spontaneously brew when I have the time. So much more enjoyable.

 

[pshankstar]

Brewed a clone of the DFH Tweason'ale yesterday (recipe found on the forum here) for my wife. The first picture was right after oxygenated and the yeast was pitched (about 11:45pm) & the second picture was this morning around 4:00am. She was starting to bubble away!!

2.5 gallon batch and the OG came in at 1.071!! I wonder how far Wyeast 1318 (London Ale III) will take it down??

[catdaddy66]

Want to brew another batch of my house IPA that has gone over well with both the beer and non-beer crowds. I call it Green Warrior for the hops used (Green Bullet and Warrior). I also hope get a Cream of Three Crops ale done the following weekend.

 

[EtchyLives]

Brewing up a simple ESB. Should be a good recipe to keep on hand as a house beer. It's been too long since I last brewed an ESB.

 

[CJ-3]

If the chips fall in place and I get everything else done this week I will be brewing my winter stout this weekend so it can age until the end of November.

 

[Pkrd]

Raspberry porter tonight. Took a late lunch so I could mash while at work in the afternoon. Started doughing in and remembered you need a bag for biab. Think I lost about 200gm of pale malt. Started afresh tonight.

Do you have a favorite recipe? I'm planning to brew my first ESB as my next brew most likely. I'm not brewing this weekend, sadly, but that's only because I already have my two kegs full and a carboy in my fermentation chamber . I'm starting to feel like I need to get a 3rd/4th keg and switch to buckets so I can have more than one batch fermenting at a time. I use a ~5.5cu ft. chest freezer to ferment in.

Bit R Done
This is my old house recipe for an ESB. It's got a little more hop kick than other ESBs but is still a really good beer. Once I test out my new recipe I'll post it up if it's worthy.

Kegs are on sale at AIH right now...just saying.

 

[Genghis]

Going to try and sneak in a Father's Day brew. Think I have the stuff on hand for another simple stout. I know I have the grain and yeast, not sure on the hops.

 

[MaryB]

Brewing tomorrow or Thursday... probably tomorrow(need to mow Thur if it dries up). Caribou Slobber from NB, my neighbor asked for a batch and is paying for it and coming over to be brew slave...

I need to get ingredients in for some lawnmower beers, some nice simple ales that are medium alcohol, low on bitter... like this recipe

Working the bugs out of my new set..and equipment. Time to fully test with the infamous Double Citra DIPA...after the baby goes to sleep tonight.

 

[Praiodan]

Going to attempt a Born Again Yesterday clone from Lagunitas. Next to almost no recipe information, other than what hops are used..should be fun!

 

[Wiscohio_brewer]

Brewing a SMaSH saison and a dunkelweizen. Looking forward to working with saison yeast for the first time.
