So who's brewing this weekend?

[Bramling Cross]

Brewed another batch of Panther Piss Classic. I keep telling myself that I'm just doing it because it's a great candidate for tightening up my LODO techniques. Truth is, I really enjoy that fizzy yellow swill. It makes me proud in a dirty, dirty kinda way.

 

[Bramling Cross]

I think..two weeks now and I've said....I need to get to LHBS to get some grains....and it hasn't happened.

and I haven't wanted to purchase grains online because it is more expensive...might be a good idea to just do it at this point...yeesh.

It's all dependent upon where you live and how your LHBS operates. I still buy my 55lb sacks and fill my gas at my LHBS, chiefly out of a desire to see them continue to keep going, but also out of gratitude for keeping me brewing throughout the pandemic.

On the other hand, I can frequently buy grain from Beer, Beer, and More Beer in five or ten pound increments for less than my LHBS charges and hit the free shipping threshold. Hops are always cheaper online.

Nothing wrong with buying online, you just have to be smart about it.

Brewed inside for the first time in about 15+ years! Was nice since outside temp was 27F this morning and while not especially warm, the garage was 53F. Brewed this nice American wheat with some Belma, Pekko, and Cashmere hops. Also got to finally use the Tilt I got for Christmas!

 

[GBRbrew]

Finished up my marzan, into the ferm chamber.....man its gonna be a long six months

Cheers

Threw together an Oct fest which can sit till Sept. (sure it will) Trying a Kentucky Common brew. Seemed easy enough with basically Flaked Corn & Rye as main ingredients. Didn't use cara or any other sweet tastes. I Just want a crisp old fashioned beer. So far the nose knows and it smells quite tasty. Thats all.

Planning to brew an imperial stout Saturday based on this monster. Should be a fun and challenging brew day!

Well that recipe is just utter madness. But I can't wait to hear how it turns out.

 

[jdauria]

Brewing up a Trappist Single this Friday and maybe a Irish dry Stout Saturday. Both for submitting to Nationals.

 

[vikyvar]

Czech Lager - this Monday. With my home-grown hop.

 

[RevA]

I brewed an ESB. And then the water pressure dropped when I want to chill the wort

Brewed a Pale Ale today.

 

[BeerAndTele]

Brewed an American Pale Ale today ... 2-row, crystal 40, and a bunch of Cascade.

But with this batch I'm trying WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast for the first time. Cautiously optimistic ... a little worried about it getting too dry, but countered it by mashing a little warmer.

 

[seatazzz]

Taking multitasking to the next level today; working from home on what promises to be a very busy Monday at the ports, brewing a batch of Moose Drool/Caribou Slobber, and between times working on a sock. Wort is heading to boil right now, should be all buttoned up by 9am. Haven't done a dark ale in a long time, and completely forgot how freaking good the wort smells; so brown & roasty, whole house smells terrific.

 

[Sam_92]

I brewed a CDA on Saturday. I've been brewing a lot of low ABV bitters and pale ales but this one will be a bit of a bruiser starting at 1.072. I did a big whirlpool charge of Amarillo and Centennial and the airlocks is releasing all kinds of amazing smells now!

 

[jdauria]

Brewed a Patersbier this past weekend for NHC.

 

[bobeer]

Brewed a kolsch this past Sunday for lawn mower month at the club. The recipe calls for kumquats in the keg but I might just do half fruited and half normal since I've never brewed this particular kolsch recipe before. I added some wp hops just cause I dig hops. Should be a good one I think!

8.25 lbs- German pils
8 oz- Vienna
1.25 oz German hallertauer @90

[loganklaas]

Just finished brewing an Old Rasputin clone.

 

[WesBrew]

Knocked out a .047 wit . First go at a Belgian. Mash last night , finished brew day at 10am

 

[Deadalus]

Almost done, whirlpooling some Fuggles and Mosaic hops in a British Golden Ale.

 

[grampamark]

Brewed a 2.5 gal batch of Altbier at the city house today. A little over 3 gal into the fermenter at 1.050. One of those brewdays when everything was on autopilot. I’ll take those any time.

 

[DBhomebrew]

It's been tough finding time to brew these days with the little ones at the feet. Four long prime brewing months without a brewday. 70s+ in the basement coming real soon.

Decided to see if I can make something enjoyable with a minimum of time and effort.

4Gal VIF
1.036
29IBU
30m boil

85% Briess Pale Ale DME, 1/2 withheld for flameout
15% DIY Invert #2 @ flameout

FWH Fuggle 14.5IBU
30m Fuggle 14.5IBU
0m EKG .125oz/Gal
175° Whirlpool EKG .125oz/Gal

While my all-grain day lasts 5-6 hours, this was in the fermenter with the kitchen cleaned in under three.

Got the mash going on what will be a Citra Pale ale, for an upcoming competition. Finally cobbled together a heat jacket for my kettle out of some leftover thermowrap; later today I'll hit up Home Depot for a fresh roll, and do the thing up proper with velcro. For today a bungee and some spring clamps are doing the job.

A week late but got it in.

 

[BeerAndTele]

Brewed an American Wheat yesterday.

White wheat, 2 row, a little light Munich and a little honey malt.
Willamette, Crystal and Amarillo … but only to ~18 IBU.
Wlp001

Looking good today:

 

[DuncB]

47 litres to fermenter, 3.5 kg of German pilsner, 3.5 kg of Malteurop pilsen and a kg of wheat malt.
Hopped with styrian goldings and bramling cross. Then ran off at whirpool temperatures half through elderflower and the other half through Pohutakawa stamens. A right pain to pick these, likely never again baked in the hot sun up a ladder.
Couple of saisons the Pohutakawa is fermenting on 100% Brett so could be interesting.

Pohutakawa is known as the New Zealand christmas tree, interesting smell to the stamens ( the spikey bits in this picture) . Probably be ready around Christmas time.

 

[Dr_Jeff]

10 gallons of Irish Red ale & 10 gallons of Super Saison

Planning a Schwarzbier Saturday

 

[3 Dawg Night]

I have a starter happily chugging away for a kolsch brew on Saturday!
