Brewing a Trillium Fort Point Ale clone and trying out some new equipment (Arbor Fab hop spider) and techniques (whirlpooling).
 
Gotta brew this weekend after seven weeks without. I'm gonna use my fresh Omega Hothead courtesy of @GQT, the only question is whether I try it out of style on a caramel amber ale or a bit more conservatively on a Rye Saison.
 
Brewing 10 gallons of Kolsch on saturday and 5 of a french saison sunday. And something needs smoking bad....... And to all those who know the joy i have. Happy Fathers Day.

NOTES:
 
Brewing a Schneider Weisse Hopfenweisse clone on Sunday. I made a 5 liter yeast starter Tuesday night with Wyeast Weihenstephan 3068 and it went gangbusters through the wort, blowing out the top of the flask even though it was on a stir plate. I'm doing 50/50 German Pilsner and White wheat malt. Bittering with Hallertau, then whirlpooling with Saphir, then dry hopping with a bunch more Saphir. Hope it turns out.
 
Going to squeeze in a quick sour Sunday. Attempting to mimic provenance from jester king. After primary finishes in adding orange and grapefruit juice and zest.
 
gotta brew something... either 5gal undead guy or 10gal Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Hope to taste the Fizzy Yellow Beer thats chilling...
 
On vacation visiting friends. I brought some grain and hops. My buddy is providing some DME and yeast. We're brewing what I'm calling Some English Brew. It's just some sort of English pale ale with some biscuit malt and a little bit of medium crystal. Using Millenium and Sonnet Goldings along with Thames Valley Ale II yeast.

We'll be brewing it up after dinner tonight (he's working during the day).
 
Brewing a quick finishing mead. Must to glass in 6 days. I'll be making up the lacking body/taste with a home made tea. Hopefully nail down a recipe if I open a brewery so I can have a mead that'll get out the doors quick if needed.
 
I work weekends so I brewed today! just finished up a brew day for an all nugget IPA. Pitched wlp075 slurry from a previous batch.
 
My weekend starts tomorrow and I'll be brewing a Blue Moon clone recipe I found here on HBT, I'm so excited!!
 
Gonna be busy but after bottling my stout and racking my marzen, I am brewing my cream ale, dammit! Lol

Last two weekends I have tried to brew but the gods weren't in favor...
 
Husband is in Vegas with his buddies, so I was going to try to get ambitious and do TWO AG batches in one day...on mature reflection (and reflecting on dirty house and lots of laundry) I'm going to stick with one, AIH's Racer 5 clone. I've done it PM twice now and really want to see what it's like AG. 1st batch was waaaaaaay too malty. Tested out my new propane burner last night, it's effing wonderful. Tomorrow's supposed to be nice so will be treating my neighbors to some beautiful smells from my front yard!!
 
First brew on my new Brew Boss setup! Can't wait. Just going for a good 'ole American Pale Ale. I need something a bit more... session-able.
 
Thrown together brew day and did my first full volume mash, which definitely simplified things but turns out I hit a crazy efficiency so I had to dilute, but over diluted so doing an extra 15 minutes on the boil and calling it a day. Well see how it turns out, trying for a lawnmower beer as I just brewed up 10gal of my very hoppy house pale last week and would like something easy going for that Saturday afternoon beer
 
We tapped the cream ale this week, it's OK but not too exciting. Da Yooper's house pale ale is in the fermenter two weeks this Sunday, so going to brew up BierMuncher's Centennial Blond Sunday! Saturday is tied up with a paired tasting and meal at the Safe House Saloon in Lansing (IA), so we'll go for Sunday brew day.
