[treacheroustexan]

I hope you your buddy have a great day brewing. I just wanted to point out what irritates the crap out of me and get it off my chest. Me and many members of our club have taught friends, family, neighbors and anyone else who wants to learn. They get really excited about it, I try to let them get hands on experience which usually makes the day longer. The next time you talk to them about brewing they say they don't have the money to buy equipment or have time. I should have put this in pet peaves thread.
Thanks for listening.

Yes. This is currently the same exact situation I'm in.

But he is bringing lots of beer, so there's that...

 

[brewbama]

I am 15 min into the boil for Yooper's Fizzy Yellow Beer. Pre Boil = 6 gal @ 1.052

Ended up at 87% mash efficiency, 80% brewhouse efficiency. 5 gal @ 1.058 in the fermenter.

Beautiful day to brew in Florida! I always say this is the kind of Florida spring day that tricks Yankees like me into moving here.

That looks like a gorgeous day to be brewing!

Like trecheroustexan up above, I'm also waiting for a buddy to show up who is wanting to learn how to brew. Buddy is a huge fan of doppelbocks, so we're doing that today.

I'm in the middle of my mash. Stayed up too late last night. Slept in later than usual and spent time doing other stuff when I should have got on brewing. I decided to scale up the batch earlier in the week so I can do some splits and thus had some more recipe planning to do anyway so decided to put it off until sunday then changed my mind and got going after lunch. Took longer than anticipated to adjust the water treatments and other bits and pieces, took longer than anticipated to heat my hot liquor (usually would start that as soon as a wake up). I'll be pitching by sunset I hope.

Aiming at a robust porter at 1.062. 5gal will be straight. 5gal will get 400g each lactose, maltodextrose, 150g cacao nib and vanilla pods. Bittering is straight herkules for 35IBU with willimette at 15 and knock out for a total of 40IBU. 76% pale, 6% each chocolate, crystal and dextrine, 5% oats, 1% black patent. Yeast is closest maybe to WY1332?

Weather is looking less windy in the morning. Looking good if I can get started early enough.

 

[TomRep]

Brewed 5 gallons of a 10.5% Russian Imperial Stout yesterday.

 

[tiredofbuyingbeer]

Next weekend: bottling a mild and brewing a Vienna/Northern Brewer/California Common SMaSH.

 

[jerbrew]

Let me know how this one turns out. Started using Comet a few months ago ad really love what this one can do.

I ended up brewing it. Had some problems breaking my carboy and all but I hit my mash pH and Temp on the nose. remind me in a couple weeks and I'll let you know how it tastes.

 

[BigMack]

I haven't been able to brew in two months due to moving, and this weekend I'll finally be able to get back to it. To say I'm excited would be an understatement....

 

[koenigwi]

I brewed a 5.5 gallon batch of blonde from my LHBS. Wort sample was delicious and now it's going 1000 miles an hour. I'm excited.

I think this is my last extract batch. Time to go all grain.

 

[N3Bruce]

Got a 10 gallon batch of ESB cued up for tomorrow morning. 1.7 liter starter of S-04 in the fridge, 18 lbs+- of grain, and water resembling Dublin Ireland ready to get heated in the morning. Got empty kegs waiting to be filled.

 

[dryboroughbrewing]

Wife is out of town fermentation chamber will be empty.... Let's​ make a Milkshake IPA!

 

[BikerMatt]

Since my hard lemonade project went belly up after already buying the DME sugar and yeast etc might as well grab a coopers tin from the store today and whip up a bucket of real ale. Might even make it a bitter with some hop tea.

 

[MaryB]

Grains weighed and water additions weighed for a batch of my house ale. This one will go into kegs instead of bottles! Will save me a lot of work.

 

[hagar]

Just got back from getting water at our local springs. I'll be brewing a hefe in the morning.

 

[PeteNMA]

I've finally got things in just about enough order than I'm brewing up an emergency extract batch tomorrow.

Haven't figured out yet if I'm going for a hoppy pale or something British but I desperately need to fill a keg so probably something hoppy

 

[BWE]

I hope to be brewing this weekend; if I can ever get home from work!! Hope to be doing an American Lager, and then my cousin is bringing the ingredients for the Uncle Crunkel Dunkel that I found in the recipe sections.

 

[RevKev]

I have to fix my kettle. My sour pipeline is getting pushed back further and further and further

 

[MaryB]

Was going to brew Sat but thunderstorms changed that idea... not a good idea to be using a garden hose with major lightning. Sunday I have to BBQ ribs so no brewing.

 

[johnwpowell]

Brewing an IPA

 

[seatazzz]

Doing a Pliny Clone today. Man that's a lot of hops! Mash is doing its thing right now, enjoying a House IPA while I'm waiting.

 

[Vedexent]

I want to be brewing this weekend. My climate controlled fermenter box is full.

Clearly I need to expand it, or make another one.

Brew a saison!

 

[Joe_K]

I'm brewing an Apricot Cream ale/cider hybrid for my wife.

 

[Vedexent]

Brew a saison!

You sir, are a genius!

By necessity, I'm going to have to be a seasonal brewer; my climate control box only heats, not cools - so I have a lot of winter/spring flexibility on temperature ranges, but not so much in the summer.

So Summer was going to be for Saisons.

But, hey, there's parts of my condo that are a pretty steady 72-75; I could do a Saison at any time.

 

[BigMack]

Just mashed in on an APA at my new place. Been forever since I've brewed so I'm just excited to get my pipeline built back up.
