So who's brewing this weekend?

[BikerMatt]

Just did Flameout on a British style Bitter loosely based on a Boddingtons recipe found from this forum. Somehow expected it to end up darker than what it is otherwise all`s well, getting used to the new machine and learning stuff like it`s boil-off rate etc...

 

[Teufelhunde]

First batch after a couple of year break. Tomorrow gonna be a Morebeer extract kit "Look at that Hop Blonde"

 

[BikerMatt]

60 minute hops, including 1# of habaneros and jalapenos. This Habanero Pale Ale is gonna be a scorcher.

I`m an avid hothead, used to be a card carrying member of the Finnish chili association and had a big hydroponic greenhouse in my mom`s yard when we were still living in the same town, still use hot sauces on a daily basis but probly wouldn`t enjoy capsaicin IN my beer...

 

[Shenanigans]

Just milled the grains and have the yeast starters on the go for 4 different 5 gallon beers to be brewed tomorrow.

1 & 2. - Split batch with 84% Belgian Pilsner, 1.5% Aromatic malt and 14.5% Table Sugar
-1. Belgian Triple with WLP530
-2. Brett beer co pitched with BE-134 Saison & WLP645
3. NZ Pils with WLP833 German Bock yeast warm fermented at 18oC - Waiema and Taiheke hops and almost 100% Irish Hook Head lager malt with a bit of carapils
4. Stone Runination 2.0 IIPA clone

Just brewed my first breakfast cereal beer: "Honey Bunches of Ale" with 1.5lb six row, 6oz C20, 2oz acid malt, 1.5lb HBoO w/ Almonds, 8oz toasted oats. OG 1.057 was higher than I expected; I guess that the high sugar and starch content means lots of extractables.

 

[RumOnTheDocks]

Tried brewing my first IPA today and ran into some difficulties. Exceeded my mash efficiency but I've apparently messed up something with my boil off rate and I'm now stuck with a very hoppy Pale Ale. I think and hope that it'll still end up being decent.

 

[leedspointbrew]

Brewed ~5 gal Enza-style cold IPA. Mostly uneventful, except for an unusual amount of foam in the wort after mashing. First time I've encountered this in 34 batches.
Also, if someone hapless like myself loses the smaller cap on a 32-oz Star-San, the cap from a Frank's Red Hot fits perfectly.

 

[rhys333]

Brewing an American wheat kitchen sinker with what I had on hand, while sipping on the stout that came before it.

18C/65F outside and snow on the ground. Crazy.

 

[OleBrewing]

finished a batch of 40% wheat summer drinker earlier today. in the buckets at 1.050. the T58 elixir should go down nicely on the hot days. This beer brightens up very well, most casual drinkers don't notice the amount of wheat in it. next up all vienna esb experiment.

This Saturday is it JASPER IPA - inspired by Trail Session IPA from Jasper Brewing Co. https://jasperbrewingco.ca/about/
Maris Otter Pale Ale, Munich, CaraPils, CaraRed
Ekuanot, Enigma, Citra

The label is already done:

 

[seatazzz]

Last night/this morning did an overnight mash for the first time. Wound up with the same preboil gravity I get with a 'normal' BIAB mash, but with two pounds less grain. On the boil now, will be a Citra/Mosaic IPA when all is said and done.

Getting ready to setup for my oktoberfest kit. Tomorrow may plan to do something else. I have about 10 kits I need to go through and two other recipes I came up with that need get going.

 

[skleice]

Testing out a new pilsner millet malt on a gluten free Kölsch. Gonna hop with Spalt and ferment with Lalbrew Köln.

Getting ready to setup for my oktoberfest kit. Tomorrow may plan to do something else. I have about 10 kits I need to go through and two other recipes I came up with that need get going.

Turned out OK for numbers. Expected OG was 1.058. Refractometer measured 1.062 and Tilt started at 1.058. Go figure. I'm using G40 and seems like my mash efficiency is getting good. According to the app I was 86%. Brewhouse 74.4%.

 

[OleBrewing]

Vienna ESB in the books. This particular Vienna is sourced and malted in ND. should be a good beer.

maybe an all Vienna lager next, i don't have any traditional hops for it but i believe i have cluster; will need to ponder this one for a little bit.

 

[skleice]

Unexpected day off, so I'm gonna brew a Gluten Free NEIPA:

Naked Pale Millet
PIlsner Rice
Pale Oat Malt
Flaked Oats

Hotside: Idaho7 Lupo, Ekuanot Lupo, Warrior
DH: Rakau, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka

London Fog

I bought extra vanilla powder. I have a tendency to go overboard with flavors!

Nice! On both accounts!

I haven't been brewing consistently over the last few years and having a 10 month old makes it even more difficult to change that, but hoping to refocus on some aspects I've gotten lazy on (checking ph, checking gravities during brew not just prior to pitch, consistent water additions, better yeast health). That being said planning an Imperial Red IPA for Saturday:

Road Rash Imperial Red
5.5 gal batch
OG: 1.075 / FG: 1.012
IBU: 116

12 lb. Vienna
1.25 lb. Victory
7 oz. C20
7 oz. C60
3 oz. Special B
1 lb. Corn Sugar
Hopped w/ Citra & CTZ
WLP001

Planning to do some prep work and make the starter today.

Congrats! My wife loves everything in the German wheat family. Thinking of brewing a dunkelweizen for the fall. Care to share your recipe?

Just starting the boil on a 3 gallon Hefeweizen

 

[Malticulous]

Last week I brewed 15 gallons of Weizenbock. I used the same wort for a WLP-300 starter. I took 3L into a 4L jar shook it a bunch over an hour or so. It took off. After a few hours I pitched it evenly into three fermenters.

Today I brewed a Hefeweizen and top cropped the yeast. It's going from a 1.065 batch to a 1.050 one. WLP-300 is a beast. It will be fine.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Earlier boil of my first attempt at a cream ale. Cleaning up now.

 

[jdauria]

Double Decocted Czech Amber on deck for this coming weekend. Well, Czechish since I am using German X yeast. Sekado Pilsner malt and Saaz, Saaz and more Saaz.

 

[MaxStout]

Doing BIAB of an ESB out in the garage today. It's windy af, so will only have the door open a crack for ventilation.
