So who's brewing this weekend?

[seatazzz]

In my ongoing quest to figure out just what the hell is going wrong with my lighter beers, brewing up a blonde on some kveik yeast slurry I have. The NEIPA I brew is the only beer that is turning out well lately, and it's done on that yeast; so we shall see.

If you're brewing them all with Kveik that might be the answer

In a 60 minute mash right now on my favorite version of my English Brown Ale. Beautiful morning on the back lanai. Have a great weekend everyone!

Brewed a 2.5 gallon batch of Rauchbier Saturday on my recently purchased PicoBrew Z. I enjoy that so much more than the Anvil 10.5 I bought after my original Z was lost in a fire.

I just finished cleaning up after brewing 3 gallons of drsmurto's Landlord. My LHBS didn't have 1469 (W. Yorkshire) or 1187 (Ringwood), so I went with 1318 (London Ale III.) I've been working my way through Graham Wheeler's cask ale book over the past couple years using whatever English ale yeast I had on hand, and haven't ordered 1469 in about a year. I think my LHBS is going to stock Imperial Pub soon, which I would like to try.

A few days late on the post, but I brewed over the weekend. I don't really brew IPA's much anymore in general, but noticing I had some "IPA style" hops left, and a hoppy beer brew club competition coming up, I decided to do one more of them (non-hazy). Hop choice was based solely on what I had and wanted to use up: amarillo for bittering, sabro and nelson in the whirlpool/dryhop. I have zero idea how it's going to come out...

Scaling up my Hops Kitchen Amber to 5 gallon AG recipe in the SVBS this weekend. Looking for the consitsency of the automated temp control in the mash and boil. I am hopeful this will result in minor improvements to my 2.5 gallon BIAB-stovetop efforts w/ respect to production numbers and overall finish.

 

[Knightshade]

I'm toying with the idea of brewing this weekend, just because it is Big Brew Day, but I'm not particularly enamored with any of the recipes this year. Need to find something to get rid of some of these damn hops I have...

 

[kurds_2408]

I work until 2:30pm Saturday and then have to go back to work at midnight for the overnight shift. I've never participated in Big Brew Day but wanted to so against my better judgment I've got the ingredients to brew the Jabba Juice between my shifts. May chicken out and brew Sunday instead.

 

[bike2brew]

Sounds good. Otherwise I say brew what you will drink. I have had my Amber que'd up for a couple weeks so it a no brain'r

 

[MegalomaniaC]

Well a friend’s bbq just popped up in the calendar two weeks from now and that means tomorrow its brewing day. Its already warm and sunny here in spain so it’ll be a 7%abv NEIPA.

I dont usually brew dry hopped stuff but sunny time calls for hoppy refreshments!

 

[skleice]

Brewing up a gluten free "Teffeweizen" tomorrow:

Pilsner Rice
Ivory Teff
Munich Millet

Hallertau Mittelfruh
Munich Classic

 

[Conehead]

Brewing a West Coast IPA tomorrow. Using Quebec grown Cascade hops for the first time. US-05, Rahr 2 row.

 

[Squirrels]

I'm making the Degobah Dunkel with a friend tomorrow. I'll have to work through my backlog of beer...

 

[tdf]

I brewed a double ipa today. Columbus, Chinook, Centennial. Pitched wlp002 and it’s starting to bubble 6 hours later.

 

[Mark3885]

Yesterday I brewed a beer with the intention of using up my overstock of grain . 12 lbs white wheat
2 lbs flaked oats
2 lbs pale ale
7 lbs Pilsner
2 lbs Bonlander Munich
1 ounce liberty hops at 30 minutes
1 ounce of citra at 15 minutes
3 ounces sweet orange peel and 3 ounces crushed coriander at 5 minutes
2 packets of Us 05 at 68 F
I guess I call it a blue moon summer ale , we’ll see in 2 weeks, no doubt it should be good.

 

[Novacor]

Finally getting around to brewing my smoked porter that I've had the ingredients for since February.

 

[bike2brew]

Four gallon Amber ale on Saturday. Still dialing in my SVBS. Pre-boil gravity came in low despite steady mash temp @152. Pre-boil volume @ 6.5 gallon. Finished with 4 gallon @ 1.053, rather than predicted 5 gallon @ 1.059. I'm thinking tweaks needed to more grain and less water, increasing flow rate in recirculation, and reducing boil intensity from 95% to 80-85%. Nevertheless, fermentation is proceeding nicely @ 1.031 today. Also, noteworthy the refractometer and tilt readings were in agreement @ 1.053/4 given my eyes ability to resolve the little lines. Every brew is an experiment and an effort to reach the null hypothesis.

Brewed an American Lager on Saturday at my club's Big Brew Day. Used malted corn for the first time, which caused me to miss my OG by 7 points, but have to say the aroma coming out of the kettle was amazing, sort of combo of a freshly made corn tortilla and a fermenting pizza dough.

I brewed a Brown Porter yesterday. I’ve never used brown malt before. I was surprised how much it smelled like coffee.

 

[lumpher]

I'm gearing up my lager stock for the Texas Summer, so on deck this weekend is

 

[cmac62]

I got 11 lb of Belma at the So Cal fest last weekend and I brewed a single hop IPA to 65 IBU. Anyone have any experience with Belma?

 

[grampamark]

Yesterday, actually, but it was the start of the weekend. Brewed an American Wheat Ale with my SIL. He’s done some brewing in the past but,with a demanding job and a side gig to keep him busy, he doesn’t have a lot of spare time. He enjoys having half a day, or so, to not have anything to think about besides beer. Well, between work related phone calls, anyway. His phone rang about every 20 minutes.

My daughter’s family is here for the weekend; her husband’s nephew graduated HS today.

Today I brewed a Scwarzbier recipe that I absolutely love and the brew day went very smooth. Tomorrow got all the family coming over for smoked ribs and chicken and we will be tapping my English Brown Ale. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend everyone!

Sold the spare car yesterday, so with cash on hand filled up the grain bins. Today brewing up a pseudo-lager on Novalager as the LHBS was out of my go-tos 34/70 and Diamond. Tomorrow will do the House NEIPA, need to get the pipeline back up and running.

I got 11 lb of Belma at the So Cal fest last weekend and I brewed a single hop IPA to 65 IBU. Anyone have any experience with Belma?

Early crops of Belma (around 2013) had a subtle strawberry-like aroma and flavor and may not be for everyone. Not sure if that's still their expected profile.

I made a SMASH Pale Ale with it back in those early Belma days, and needed quite a bit of dry hops to get them to shine. A hopstand or whirlpool would be in place too.
