So who's brewing this weekend?

[davidabcd]

Brewed a Belgian Tripel a little while ago. OG: 1.094. Should come out to around 10%-11% ABV. I strained out the hop pellets (4oz) and measured. I got at least three cups of hop goo.
Pitching temp: 66F. Room temp: 58F. 3 packs of T-58. I usually use two so I'll see what that does. After 3 days, I'll bring it upstairs for 68F-70F.
Going to ferment for 3 weeks as usual.
Trying to get close to Dragonmead Final Absolution. Last batch was far more like Westmalle Belgian Tripel. I used the recipe on here that has 9.9# of Pilsen light, 1# Amber, 1.5# sugar. Saaz, Hallertauer Mittelfruh, Styrian Goldings. I tweaked a bit also. I saw a lot of rave reviews. Last one was good but far from Final Absolution. If this batch is still nowhere in the ballpark, I'll try a different yeast.

Comet

I think of Santa's reindeer for some reason.

first brew

Good luck. Don't hesitate to ask any questions that may come up in the "Beginners Beer Brewing Forum."

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Up early to start on another version of the Northern Brewer Blonde I did a while back. First one was good, but too bitter for my taste; so this one will get bittered with about 3/4oz of Comet, and get lighter late additions of NB.

But does anyone look at the hop name Comet and think, Why is that person using bathroom cleanser in their beer???? Or is it just me.

Could be those speeding space rocks with a tail.

Just milled the grain for tomorrow's WF lager batch; other than grain dust going everywhere because someone hasn't made a spout for the new grain mill stand yet (aaaaaachhhooooo!! grain dust up my nose) it worked like a champ and I'm still damn proud of myself. Ambitious double brew weekend planned, WF lager tomorrow and the House Amber on Sunday, using crystal malt I made myself. Which BTW made the house smell absolutely fantastic.

Cherry cider the left is being soured.

Each Homebrew Con attendee received these little packets of dried kveik from Escarpment Labs. According to them, it consists of a blend of Voss, Hornindal Kveik Blend, Ebbegarden, and Arset Kveik Blend. Today I brewed a sort of Bells Two Hearted recipe by Gordon Strong and used a packet of the kveik. I wonder if there will be bubbling when I wake up in the morning. [emoji848]View attachment 642362

Looks like beef jerky.

2nd brew of the weekend lautering now; color isn't quite what I was hoping for but the mash smells great, roasty, sweet, and should be a good one if everything goes right. For posterity, grain bill is 13lbs two-row and .75lb of home-roasted crystal; it turned out a bit dark but the grains taste terrific. Will bitter with Comet, late additions of crystal and maybe some Southern passion to give it a mild sweetness to counteract the roastiness. Dunno yet, will give the first runnings a taste once they're out and decide then. I do love flying-by-the-seat-of-the-pants brewdays.

Finishing up a azacca/centennial pale ale

 

[RCope]

Brewed a Medusa/Centennial pale ale/IPA today...last two brews were an Irish Ale and a Pumpkin Ale. Both were kegged early and both were meh on first taste, hopefully they will improve with a bit of time. So back to what I'm good at, which is cool because it's what I like to drink.

 

[orionol73]

Brewed a Hopslam clone today

It's really good and regularly in rotation in my house.

Nice! I'll be making an Irish Red tomorrow

 

[seanjwalker1]

Getting ready for a Irish Red tomorrow, hoping it will be ready for Thanksgiving but may have to plan on it being a Xmas extra.

Doing a mash out right now with one of my sons, on a wonderfully flavorful London Porter with classic brown malt. I love this beer with it's distinct layers of flavor that will be ready just in time for Christmas! Have a great weekend everyone!

Had a keg kick tonight, and my NB Blonde is going fast; I've got two in the ferment fridge that are ready to keg, but with holiday parties coming up it's time to pump up the pipeline. Will brew another batch of the blonde tomorrow, and for the first time in a long time going with only 9lbs of grain. Have had some efficiency issues over the last several months which I think I've solved, so this will be a nice little experiment to see if I was right. No matter how much grain I used, couldn't get my SG higher than 1.040; last week's brew (after making sure the mash bag wasn't getting stuck under the false bottom) came in at a nice 1.050, and could have been higher. We shall see.

 

[Beerswimmer]

Sparging a sour IPA right now. All Vienna with Voss kviek for 24 hrs hot, then add plantarum for 4 days before dry hopping with 3oz each of Citra and Amarillo.

 

[hopkincr]

Will be brewing an oatmeal porter on Saturday. Bottled the Cream of Three Crops this evening.

 

[BongoYodeler]

My back is pretty much healed up, so on Sunday I'm planning on brewing a 5 gallon batch of the Left Hand Milk Stout clone from this site. I'll be adding Apex toasted coconut flavoring when kegging.

 

[balrog]

Josh Weikert's Make Your Best Cream Ale Saturday. Yes, it is Winter but I still like to have a light one around...

I brew the same one a couple times a year.

I brew the same one a couple times a year.

With coconut?

I've brewed it once before but not with the coconut flavoring. I want to give it another layer which I'm hoping will give a twist to a very good beer.

planning a mole imperial stout for the winter warmer this year. Getting together with a brew club pal and splitting a 10 gal batch. should be fun.
