So who's brewing this weekend?

"Who's Brewing This Weekend?"

Well, I was *thinking* about it, but the mercury is threatening to freeze in the thermometer. We shall see. I'll keep you all informed. I know you'll be losing sleep wondering.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Me, I hope… some stoutly stouts.

 

[seatazzz]

Mashed in on a simple Blonde that will ferment in the house on Lutra. Pipeline is dangerously low, so tomorrow will also brew up a Wit; going to try it with Imperial Whiteout for the first time. Last one used Stefon (yah I know not a wit yeast) so I'm hoping for more clove-y banana-y this time, coupled with some dried orange peel and freshly crushed coriander.

Yea! You’re brief abscene was noticed. I have a wit in the line up as well, saison and American wheat after the stout today.

Step 1&2 of a new 3 step Guinness clone are started. Hopefully this is going to give me the results I’ve been chasing for 20 years. Planning on starting step 3 tomorrow.

 

[grampamark]

Some Irish after supper.
edit-wrong thread. I am planning to brew a Mosaic SMaSH tomorrow.

 

[AlexKay]

Heating the strike water so I can brew a 1/4-gallon batch of weizenbock.

 

[RCope]

Brewing a Monster Stout to put in my barrel for a year or so. 26.5 lbs of grain! Planned a pour-over sparge with my old kettle, but was worried about the wet weight of the grain. I came up with this...it worked beautifully. Got 9 gallons of wort from just over ten gallons of water

Sorry about the thumb, put you get the idea...

 

[rhys333]

It's been a few months. Brewing a kitchen sink brown ale... 2Row, caramunich, torrified wheat, amber and chocolate malts. Willamette hops and Windsor yeast to follow.

 

[camonick]

Step 3 of 3 for my Guinness experiment is now on it’s way. It’s a “color extract” that will ferment then be added to the pale base and small Brett batch at packaging. This color extract looks like used diesel oil.

I double brewed last night and into early this morning, an English Brown and a Best Bitter. The brown came in at 1.050 and the bitter at 1.052. The yeast was a repitch of 002 English Ale from my English Mild that was the second runnings of my Imperial Stout. The Mild is tasting fantastic now that is slightly carbonated.

The hopping for both were simple. I used UK Phoenix for both. 5/8 oz. went into the brown for 60 minutes and 28 IBUs. The bitter had a half oz at 60 minutes and another half ounce at 15 min for a little over 30 IBUs total. These should both be easy drinking session beers.

AlexKay - brew a 2 pint batch ?

 

[leedspointbrew]

Still trying to kaizen the Cali Schwarz towards my mental goal. Last couple batches weren't quite there. M54 and Northern Brewer hops this time. Might be weird; might be great.

 

[jcav]

Mash is almost over here on my Irish Red I am brewing for the big party coming up next month!

 

[day_trippr]

Just finishing whirlpooling a crapton of hops for an neipa...

 

[Section1]

Brewed a Kolsch today. Fingers crossed.

Is that a US crapton or metric?

 

[seatazzz]

Getting ready to mash in on a WF lager, with this girl as my brewdog for the last time. Tomorrow she's crossing the bridge, it's time. She's been with us for 12 years since she was a puppy, and has been the best, goofiest, cuddliest, goodest girl. She's having some bad heart/breathing issues that medication just isn't helping anymore. Love you my Sabrina.

And because I need to keep my mind occupied, ran to wallyworld for honey and making a batch of mead. Husband bought too many clementines for his lunch snacks, going to use the extra as fruit for this one. Drank my last bottle of the last batch last week, and I'm jonesing for more.

 

[Wigglebutts Brewery]

Got carried away.... brewed bitters, irish red ale and imperial stout.

 

[MajorJC]

ran to wallyworld for honey

As a beekeeper, this hurts. I know it's cheaper than real raw local honey, but they heat it up so much and filter it so finely that it's really not honey anymore.

Anyway, I apologize for sticking my nose into your business. I hope your mead-making helps to distract you from the loss of your fur-baby.

Thanks for that. There is a local honey farm not far away that I've thought about going to, but their cheapest is about $25/3lbs. Right now just can't justify $50 for a 3g batch of mead, at least not until I get better at it.

 

[MajorJC]

but their cheapest is about $25/3lbs.

Yep, the price per pound does go down when you buy a larger quantity. Around here you can find 12 pounds (1 gallon) for $60.00 and sometimes 60 pounds (5 gallon bucket) for $180.00.

Mashing in for a Pilsner/Saaz SMaSH:

First of four, as I try once again to determine whether I can taste the difference between Pilsner malts. Today the Pilsner is Sugar Creek, tomorrow Crisp Hana, and then Weyermann Barke and Floor-Malted Bohemian.

 

[Jack Arandir]

Brewed an oktoberfest. Will lager this till August. Prost!

 

[HM-2]

Brewed a Hopfenwiesse today. Total nightmare, crush on the wheat was FAR too fine and it burned onto the bottom of my Brewzilla twice, triggering the boil dry protection. Had to drain it, clean it, then baby the thing up to pre-boil using just the 500W element, took all bloody day to get it into the fermenter.

Hit my numbers in the end though, 1.075 OG. 27g of Mandarina Bavaria in the boil, and 20g more plus 40g each of Vic Secret and Necteron in the whirlpool. Two packs of 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen.

Last WF lager that was done under pressure is seriously meh, if not ick; so since my wonderful new job is allowing me to stay home tomorrow, as we have a new dog to get acclimated to our house, I'm going to brew another one. This one with fresh yeast, and THIS time let it sit in the fermenter for at least 6 days before crashing. Also most of the ports are closed tomorrow, so they won't miss me too much.

And in a strange twist of fate (or maybe the brew goblins switched kegs on me) the lager actually tastes a LOT better today, and should only get better; so doing a quick blonde on Lutra. Remember kids; don't give up on a beer too soon!

I commend your wort:kettle volume ratio.

I condone your propane tank location. Use the full length of that hose to get the tank away from the flame.

Enjoying this while kegging a quad after mashing in on Weikert's Octoberfest.
