So who's brewing this weekend?

[Drewch]

Brewing this tomorrow; a sour, fruited ale using Philly Sour yeast and a bit of super cheesy old (they're plugs!) hops. After primary fermentation winds down I'll be adding a few cans of tart red cherries. I'm calling it "Lambique"

You should throw some Brett and oak cubes in after the Philly gets a headstart.

Just put 5 gallons of More beer German Hefe in the fermenter. Hit target OG...

Glad I had these ingredients around, I was *intending* to partigyle brew my Russian imperial stout and dry Irish stout, but then I accidentally went out and bought a bunch of water...realized I didn't need soft water to brew the stout, so figured I'd make a Hefe instead!

I brewed a lambic with wyeast Roeselare blend a couple of weeks ago, that batch will take at least a year before it's ready. This philly sour "lambique" with aged hops and cherries was supposed to be a quick batch ready in a month or two. I do have b.lambicus, b.bruxellensis and oak on hand, now you've got me thinking.

Then if I can get in one more brewday, I'll do a strong pale ale with whatever bits of MO and Optic I've got, top it off with Golden Promise, and hop with Mittlefrüh. Pitched with Voss, I'll start my exodus from the dairy.

Got it!

That sounds amazing…the part about wife snd kids out until Sunday!

 

[Jayjay1976]

My wife and I enjoy brewing together. She even has her own recipes.

 

[BrewMan13]

Looking to brew up another IPA this weekend to experiment with/use up some hops. I'm behind my personally set schedule due to having a lot going on this summer, but still not close to being out of beer, so it's all good. May have to chop something off the list though (looking at you pumpkin ale, lol).

 

[Sunfire96]

Centennial and Cascade pale ale. And got my new (to me) Tilt up and running

 

[Spundit]

I plan to brew a Schwarzbier on Sunday. ...but that assumes I finish my fermentation chamber on Saturday.

Plan B will be to brew a blond ale with kveik.

 

[Beerstein]

Brewing a red ale tomorrow. First use of my spike solo. Outside temps in the 90’s. What we do for the love of beer…

 

[seatazzz]

Brewed up another batch of American Strong this morning to replace the last one, that is...well, not good. Unless you like bitter bombs. This one was done correctly and should turn out well.

 

[Brewsmith]

Brewed a pale ale yesterday, and brewing an IPA right now

 

[Spartan1979]

If Monday is close enough to the weekend, then I brewed an Altbier today.

It's my 5th brew day in the last 6 weeks as I prepare for our Oktoberfest party and two festivals where our club is pouring. I usually only brew about once a month, so this will be the last time probably until November.

Ended up brewing the Blond Ale.

The fermentation chamber is still on the to do list. I did spend several hours pondering my options....perhaps next weekend.

 

[cmac62]

I gotta get something into the pipelilne. LOL, I think I'm brewing a margarita gose.

 

[GlobularDuck]

I'm brewing a smoked porter, just bottled an oatmeal stout last weekend. Got to get all my winter beers ready.

 

[BrewZer]

After several false starts due to weather, volunteering and "stuff," Asst Braulein and I are doing the SMaSH tomorrow. Have the water, gas, 2-row, Galaxy hops and Kveik Voss all set. Just need to grind, mash, boil and ferment.

 

[jcav]

Step mashing a really nice Vienna Lager right now. This one is going to age a bit and be served at my Octoberfest get together with all the family and friends.

After a disastrous summer, I finally got my butt back in the saddle and made a weissbier yesterday. Aside from my pump turning up DOA, it was an enjoyable, smooth session.

The SSbrewtech Immersion MT continues to impress. I got brave with the mill and turned the wheat malt into chunky flour. With the aid of 4oz of rice hulls, the lauter went as smoothly as an all barley lauter. The Immersion MT is a really impressive piece of kit.

 

[Sunfire96]

Brewing a small batch of Amarillo Blonde tomorrow with kveik first brew in a new apartment and wanted something simple to see if the stove is up to snuff for 2.5 gal of wort. Fingers crossed

 

[Abrayton]

Raspberry vanilla cream ale

 

[Falstaff]

Me. Trying to get a wild yeast strain or lactobacillus off of some grain this week, which I'll pitch into 60% wheat and 40% 2-row. If it just sours I'll pitch kveik to finish it, or leave it be if I get a hearty strain of wild yeast.

Sort of a kettle sour, but I'm doing it in my carboy and keeping the culture alive.

 

[seatazzz]

Planning an ambitious double-brew weekend; WF lager on Saturday, before the new dishwasher gets here, and a Sabro/Citra IPA on Kveik on Sunday. Both will go for competition in 2 weeks (YES a lager in 2 weeks, I don't care it's gonna be good). Done it before, last one was on tap in 10 days. Took a couple more days to clear and settle out but was delicious.

Not this weekend, but I do plan to brew on Saturday, September 4, 2021 (Labor day weekend for us folks in the USA).

WF meaning warm ferment? Cool! What yeast?

[Beerstein]

I was planning learning round #3 with my spike solo. Something with Lamenta malt, and Columbus or chinook and something else complementary. But I just sprained my ankle, and thinking my weekend is a bust.

 

[seatazzz]

- Dan

Yes, warm-fermented. Call me crazy but I've been having very good luck with Saflager S23. I've also had good results with lallemand Diamond (bit pricey right now) but I like what I get with the S23. As long as I keep the fermentation around 64-65, it does very well.

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

@seatazzz Most interesting...

@seatazzz Most interesting...

Yep. Not kidding, the last WF lager I did with 2 packets of S23 turned out very nice. Maybe I'm biased because it's mine, but I still like it.
