Gonna do a pseudo lager with lutra and use just pilsner, carapils an some flaked rice. Hopefully itl turn out good so I can make a mexican lager next.

 

[bkboiler]

Brewed this last night: American Brown Ale - HBT BJCP comp winning American Brown
I was not necessarily close to hitting the numbers, but I am still stoked to try it...
always pumped when I get to brew with high quality ingredients!

 

[Abrayton]

Maibock tomorrow

 

[BlueCloudBrewing]

Red Rye IPA today... all the grains from geterbrewed.ie (no affiliation, but a great website for UK & Ireland brewers....

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

Was delayed from original plans, but now, my Victory Brewing Prima Pils recipe is formulated, the grain is crushed, the yeast is ready and all thing are GO for Saturday. Once done I already have a Victory Prima Pils tap handle for my keezer.

If I can get the garage cleaned out tonight of all the cardboard boxes that we seem to have accumulated over the last couple weeks, I'll brew up another version of the house lager tomorrow; straight pilsner base with Crystal hops for bittering and late additions. Makes for a tasty light lager. Need something to take my mind off work, just-entered competition, and other family issues.

 

[camonick]

Just mashed in a new recipe. Supposed to be a Fat Tire clone, except I’ll just be using Nottingham yeast. If I can pull it off, I might try to brew a Munich Helles tomorrow.

Just added the steeping grains for a full Centennial IPA - Bell's Two Hearted Inspired. I've been going back and forth on dry hopping with just Centennial or Centennial + a little Citra. I guess I don't have to decide for a while

Hit the starting gravity on the nose, 1.066. Pitched an Imperial Flagship A07 starter, time to ferment.

 

[Pkrd]

Little Irish red today.
My Saaz hops have been in the freezer since 2017, I'm sure it'll be fine.

 

[Sully1986]

First attempt at a Rye Pale on my anvil. We shall see. Hits all my numbers spot on. Sitting in fermenter now. Smell was promising.

 

[Scottyward]

5gal all grain dry Irish stout in 10.5 anvil. For once all my numbers spot on . Amazing color, gravity and smell. Yeast starter spot on, with full head in 7 hours.. hoping for a st pats tasting in 4 weeks.

 

[Elric]

I freed up one of my mini 1 gallon kegs last night, so this afternoon I brewed a double IPA to fill it. been meaning to brew this one forever but kept getting pushed back by other season specific brews I wanted instead. Doing it hot with Kveik so should turn around pretty quick.

 

[govner1]

Brews a 6g AG batch of my clone of Three Taverns Night in Brussels/Night on Ponce with my daughter.
pitched half with US-05 and half with Lallemand Belgian Abbaye.
We nailed the numbers.

 

[Saunassa]

I was going to. But when they said we would be above 0f on Saturday I brewed during lunch on Thursday, rather long lunch and went snowmobiling Saturday.

Long weekend

Doing Yet Another NEIPA, so far smooth as butter. The rig has been on cruise during the recirculation, haven't touched a knob in a half hour...

Fly sparge started...

One point on the plus side of pre-boil gravity, now whirlpooling lots of hops!

Kettles and rig cleaned, carboys filled, yeast pitched, O2 applied, all hooked up to the keg purging system and ready to go!
Well, except those two loose clamps I just noticed in the pic

Time for a just reward!

Cheers!

What do you have on the tail end of the purging process for the last keg? A PRV or airlock? Are you getting slight pressure in the kegs or anywhere in the system?
Thanks!

 

[day_trippr]

I submerge that last tubing run a few inches deep in a quart mason jar of plain water. I like to see the bubbles
From a previous brew:

Using yeast that's only a few days old, today's batch is already starting to bubble. I like that, too

Cheers!

 

[grampamark]

5.5 gallons to the fermenter at 1.050. Beat the estimated gravity by 2 whole points.

 

[JJ_Jameson]

Brewing a Wicked Weed Pernicious clone

Do you have a recipe for this? I've been lookk h everywhere for it!

 

[jdauria]

Was going to brew this week, an American Wheat, but my hops are in FedEx limbo...stuck in that "Pending deliver" loop...been six days since they left Yakima Valley and they are only in Spokane now. So doubt they will make it to Mass in time...so going to have to get crappy repackaged LHBS shops that are in just plastic bags.

 

[deuc224]

Im going to try the imperial stout this weekend, gonna take a few days just to make the starter. My hefe dunkel was a total fail and really broke my heart. Came out the COMPLETE opposite of what i was going for.

 

[Elric]

Dry irish stout on the go...

 

[seatazzz]

LHBS was out of two-row due to missed delivery during the snowstorm last week, but she did have Canadian Pils. So my planned usual House American Strong recipe got a bit of an overhaul; usual recipe is 16lbs two-row and 2lb Special B, this time went with 12lbs Pilsner, 2lbs light Munich, and 2lbs special B. Should turn out interesting if not as strong as the usual suspect. Smells divine in the mash tun. Still debating on the hops; usual is Chinook, but I've got a ton of el Dorado that I need to use, so might go with a mix of that and Chinook. Dunno yet, plenty of time in hand to decide.

Well, after a solid month of daytime temperatures in the teens we've had upper 30's and 40's for the past week. With highs expected to be in the upper 40's today I had planned this as my first brew day of 2021. I went out to the garage (unheated) to do some prep work yesterday (high 45°) and found the hose I use to supply water from the house to the garage still frozen. Then I found that I had left a bit of water in the HLT and my HERMS coil was frozen in place. So... no brew day for me today.

Brewing a Cream Ale, drinking a HB Golden Ale

 

[Abrayton]

Belgian Blonde

 

[Knightshade]

Brewed a tropical stout on Friday. Hope it turns out. Was going to brew again today, but the thought of all that cleaning so quick had me hit the pause button.
