So who's brewing this weekend?

[cmac62]

Got my xmas ale into the fermenter. 6Lb pils, 4 lb white wheat, .5 midnight wheat, .5 Cara Munich, .25 victory and .25 honey malt, with 1 oz triumph at 60 and FO. I have some cinnamon, cocoa nibs and orange in a ticture to put in at kegging. Also made a wash with 2nd runnings, sweat feed and 10 lbs of sugar.

Brewed up a schwarzbier today. It already medaled in competition, but I took the judges comments into consideration (along with my own thoughts) and made some slight changes to take it to the next level. Fingers crossed!

 

[Abrayton]

Finally getting to the toasted oatmeal Stout today after life got in the way and planning a cream ale for Friday.

 

[2hennepin6]

Life'll do that!

 

[DBhomebrew]

Another stab at approximating Traquair House Ale.

98% UK base malt
2% roasted barley
EKG
Imperial Tartan

This time around...

Mashing a bit lower for higher attenuation.

Oak cubes in primary, a nod to Traquair's oak fermentation vessels.

57° in late November and no wind. The LHBS is 15 min. away. In a little over an hour I had scored water and ingredients and am mashing in an Altbier.

Beersmith predicted .048. Pretty good brewday.

 

[BrewChem]

checking one off Brewing Bucket List… trying a 20+% ABV ale… 38lbs of grain into a 5-ish gallon batch.

Ben-Rufus said “good crush, good flavor…mash it.!”

Didn’t have a mash tun big enough… had to improvise…

Briefly considered a Holiday-ish ale, but I'm just not feeling it this year. So tomorrow will brew up a batch of the House Blonde, fermented on proven kveik, that I've done before and enjoy. Next weekend might do a stout-ish something or other with bourbon-soaked vanilla beans to have something dark for the holiday.

 

[Brewdog80]

Brewing up an American amber. Got to run get the proper yeast.... Thought I had a pack of 1056, but is esb, so I'll pick up some wheat for the next one....

Beautiful brew day going on the back lanai right now. Cool 54 degrees and I am almost at the end of the mash step on a Baltic Porter I am brewing. Have a great weekend everyone!

Made a sudo Lager yesterday, first time using Lutra. Should have put a blowoff on it!

Just mashed in. Brewing a Cascade Pale Ale.

 

[DBhomebrew]

Water and grain prepped for tomorrow.

98% Golden Promise
2% Roasted Barley

 

[camonick]

Going to whip up a batch of @ThirstyPawsHB raspberry hard lemonade today. Should be prime for Christmas company.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Non-enzymatic cold mash Dubbel. OG=1.024

 

[JRHDBrew]

Brewing a Bock tomorrow with my dad and neighbor. Here is the recipe I have cooked up. This is for a 3 gallon batch.

 

[BrewDrinkRepeat]

Just about to mash-in for an assertively bitter, crystal-clear IPA. Just like mom used to make.

 

[DBhomebrew]

Settling into a two hour boil. Followed the strike water volume when measuring out the sparge again. Whoops. Unplanned wort reduction on the left.

 

[Dland]

Just finished cleaning up, brewed sort of a Pilsner today, 50% Heidelberg pils, 25% reg pils, 25% golden promise.

First snow & sleet brew of year, not that heavy, and was dressed for it so not so bad, but still, would be nice to move it indoors someday.

Got it all in!

 

[JRHDBrew]

Brewed a Traditional Bock with the help of my dad and my great neighbor who happens to be COO of a local craft brewery. Pictures are dough in, sparge, boil, and parked in fermentor after yeast pitched.

 

[riceral]

A friend and I brewed 11+ gallons of an English Barleywine.
OG=1.093

 

[wetmk]

Brewed a chocolate milk porter Sunday morning. First time using lactose ever.

 

[Abrayton]

Not the weekend, but I’m home on isolation with Covid so finally getting in my cream ale using barley from a local farm.

Hope you get well soon! ^

Our unofficial brew club is having its winter gathering this Saturday, when we get to take our brewing equipment on the road and party. Many people show up, but only three or sometimes four of us brew; as of right now we've got a Black IPA, Irish Death Clone, and my Wookey Jack clone on the roster so it's gonna be a dark brewing day. Should be ready to tap right around the 24th. Just waiting on the hops to arrive, and the motivation to dig out the camp stove from where it's buried in the garage. Also hoping my mouth is in better shape by Saturday; had a tooth pulled this afternoon and had to have a bone graft put in for a future implant, and it hurts like no mans business.

 

[deuc224]

Gonna give the Westy 12 a go tomorrow. Gonna get the water and grist going and set it to heat the water by 8am so i just wake up and mash in. Next week itll be my first pressure ferment lager.

 

[CascadesBrewer]

A local shop had the Lallemand Farmhouse yeast in stock, so I wanted to give it a try. I used the same recipe as a recently bottled Saison that was fermented with WLP565.

• 2.5 Gallon Batch, OG: 1.056
• 4 lbs (72.7%) Pilsner Malt, Avangard
• 1 lb (18.2%) Spelt Malt, Bestmalz
• 8 oz (9.1%) Munich I, Weyermann
• 0.3 oz Northern Brewer (19 IBU) @ 60 min
• 0.75 oz Hersbrucker (6 IBU) @ 10 min
• 1 pkg Lallemand Farmhouse

Forgot to take pics, but finally got in my last brew of the year, a weizenbock. A majority of the wheat was "hard red wheat" from a local maltster. And "hard" was right! Couldn't mill it as fine as I wanted, so efficiency suffered a bit, but well within range for the style.
