So who's brewing this weekend?

[Newsman]

So I'm working on some cider, somewhat following a YouTube recipe (heavily modified.) I condensed two gallons of cider down to about 1.25 gallons, then added two cans of apple juice concentrate, a package of (boiled) baker's yeast and a pack of Mangrove Jack's M02 Cider Yeast. I put it all in my 6+ gallon BMB fermenter with the "universal" lid, one solid bung and one drilled. I keep having to force the lid back down because it keeps getting pushed up. Of course this causes the CO2 out through the airlock, so I have to refill that...

I have found that reversing the gasket helps keep the lid from popping off of the Big Mouths.

Brewed a 2x Bock. Filled the MLT with this one. Missed OG by 4 pts but that’s OK. Close enough.

Just pulled out my 64L Brewzilla to fill it with water for tomorrow’s brew: a Czech Pilsner. Saw a huge roach running around inside and decided to cancel tomorrow’s brew day. I’ll do a deep cleaning Sunday and brew next week, I guess.

Yuck.

Brewing a pale ale with my home grown hops. I have cascade and Columbus. There’s enough for the finishing but not enough for bittering, so I’m using half ounce of cascade pellets for the bittering addition. Everything else is the home grown in the last 15 minutes. The grain bill is simple and makes a solid base for trying different hops. It’s my go-to pale ale.

First brew since March! Finally got around to brewing the Sierra Resilience IPA

 

[AlexKay]

Tried to brew an Imperial California Common today. Ended up way low on gravity (too much grain in the mash to mix well?) and very dark. Oh well, it’ll be beer:

 

[HM-2]

Planning an 8% old ale, half size batch with 5L to go to my dad and the rest in bomber bottles to age.

Spider with a body about an inch long in the bottom of my Guten 70, tipped it out and rinsed the guten out and did my Elderflower saison. I think there was a fair few small creepy crawlies on the freshly picked elderflower. But they won't make it to the glass.

Made a English Bitter today. Been awhile and was craving one.

 

[ZapperMike]

Caribou Slobber. Tried this one yesterday. Looks good so far.

This is what my hop stopper looks like after a spruce ale today.

An EKG English pale ale

 

[leedspointbrew]

AOH (Absegami Original Hibernian) is just about in the fermenter. Perfect wet, misty, rainy day to brew an Irish amber.

 

[Brewsmith]

Brewing right now, a red IPA. I kegged my pale ale from last week and the yeast is getting repitched into this one.

 

[AlexKay]

Mashing in on an Imperial Eiskolsch, which is a style I just made up. Kettle is a little full.

 

[AlexKay]

Hop additions for an IPA: bittering, 10 minute, and whirlpool.

Mashing in a Baltic Porter at 5:35 AM local time.

Brewing a New Zealand Pilsner this Friday.

 

[Apmarand]

Stars aligned and had my luck brewing two totally distinct (not split batch) beers over the course of 1 week. The CFV got the NE pale ale and the anvil is rocking a vanilla porter. Stoked for both! Running CIP

Brewed up a batch of the House Blonde this morning, and trying no-chill for the first time in a long time. Very cold in the garage today, one hour post-flameout and it's down to 147. Hoping to pitch this afternoon since I'm using Lutra.

Brewed this yesterday, finally pitched yeast just now. I had planned on pitching a 4th gen top-cropped WLP-037, but the starter never took off and went sour. Sneaked out to the LHBS this morning for some Notty. I'm disappointed in the 037 going bad, but Notty is more accurate anyways.

Pre-Prohibition Lager, 1-gallon batch. 6-row, wheat, and corn, with Magnum for bittering and Boadicea for flavor.
