So who's brewing this weekend?

[Halfakneecap]

Kind of an american style wheat, with dried lemon peel at the last 5 mins of the boil.

73.7% Voyager Atlas lager malt
26.3% Wey wheat malt
30g Dried lemon peel last 5 mins of the boil
1.039
16 IBU


Not sure of the yeast yet. I have Verdant, which i really like. I use WLP029 German ale quite a lot but am out at the moment. Not sure whether to use Verdant, or re order 029. Ill definately use it ( its my house ale yeast ).

Or order Wyeast 1010, and try that as my go to ale yeast for a while. Not sure about it in standard APA's etc.


EDIT. Just ordered 029.

 

[bike2brew]

Heritage Pale ale into the fermenter 1.064. A bit high on the OG for the standard but I would rather start higher than lower. Likewise, I favor my brews @ > 6% abv.

 

[HM-2]

Mashed in on an 8% West Coast DIPA with Columbus, Amarillo, Citra and Strata.

 

[brewbama]

Brewing a Weissbier this AM.

 

[bike2brew]

Hungry Brown Dog ale in production today.

 

[bike2brew]

5.5 gallons into fermenter @ 1.058. Clean up all done and ready to kickback w/ a cold one.

Contrary to popular mechanics (as we said when I was a young 'un) I am still around. Had to wait about five weeks between brewdays as bills needed to be paid before grain procured, now that a company that rhymes with shmowing finally gave us something decent. Pipeline is completely empty so brewed up a superfast warm pressure fermented lager today, that is already up to 20psi and looks to be drinkable by the weekend. Until then it's what I like to call drinkydrinks (hard alcohol with mixer) or Rainier.

 

[BrewMan13]

From last weekend; my last brewday of the year so figured I'd go out with a bang. Yes, that's a full size keg mash tun. Yes, my efficiency and other numbers took a big hit, and brewday was a nightmare in almost every way. But at the end of the day I ended up with 11 gal of my gruit-inspired imperial oatmeal stout. Was targeting 13 gal as it's going to be the next beer in the barrel, but it is what it is.

 

[HM-2]

Having decided not to do my Christmas barley wine this year, I've planned an imperial red rye ale instead.

70% MO
15% rye malt
7% red rye crystal
5% CaraHell
3% T50

Keeping hops pretty grapefruit/resin forward. 50 IBU with Apollo for bittering and Apollo/Simcoe for aroma. Small dry hop, WHC LAX yeast.

I plan to soak some of my oak stave chunks in Rittenhouse Rye and chuck them in for 6 or so weeks once fermentation has finished.

 

[CodyRonan]

Started a 10.7g batch of Irish Stout that is a little stronger than "spec" for the recipe. (4.7 ABV vs ~4.2) .

Mash is half way finished - looks gorgeous and clean already. Smell is amazing and I made enough to condition properly (4 weeks+ )
Hurray!!! I love a good stout!

What yeast are you using...

 

[Willy]

For this batch I used 2 US-05 packets. I contemplated using 1 Nott & one 05 but decided I would just use the US-05 because I had more of that in house than Notty. The batch is still conditioning in kegs and one of the kegs should be tapped by year end. (The other keg in late Jan or Feb)

 

[Halfakneecap]

Fuggle bitter.

98.8% Maris Otter ( Simpsons )
1.2% Dark Crystal ( TF )

Green Bullet 60 mins
Fuggle 30 mins

Windsor

Long low mash, 1 hour at 63c, then 72c x 20.

1.033
32 IBU

 

[brewbama]

Woke up early to start the mash. I’ll go thru mash out, then hold it there until I get back from running ~ an hour errand, then lauter to the BK and finish the brewday.

Edit: I’m usually happy with a gravity point or two N or S of target. Today I was spot on. Love it when a plan comes together.

 

[SFC Rudy]

Brewed a Kentucky Common yesterday and heating water for my Copper Ale.

 

[seatazzz]

Brewing up the House NEIPA this morning (12lbs two-row, Citra and Sabro late and dry hop) since the wonderful husband has been hinting about it. Also it will be done fast. Tomorrow considering doing just a plain blonde with the same yeast slurry (Imperial POG) just to see what flavors I get. I hate to see only one selection on the kegerator chalkboard. Current on-tap is getting closer to Kona Golden which is my eventual goal.

 

[kurds_2408]

My Christmas gift this year is a diy EBiab setup. Finally moving from propane outside to electric inside. It'll be a month or more before I get it finished and do the first brew though. On Sunday the weather is ok so I'm going to brew a simple APA on my current setup. Going to use that recipe as the baseline to dial in my new setup when it is ready. Will also be my first time trying Omega West Coast. LHBS charges way less for Omega than White Labs so fingers crossed.

 

[MaxStout]

That beer fridge full of HB and HM hard lemonade is getting a lot less crowded. Time to brew on Monday. Will do an English ordinary bitter. Maris, some UK medium crystal, a touch of Carafa III for color. First Gold, and S-04.

[brewbama]

Just put an American Lager in the fermenter. Not my favorite style but I need category 1 for MHP Jack of all Trades

 

[HM-2]

Got a rum barrel red rye ale in the fermenter, brewing system is currently cleaning and I'll be drying everything out in about 10 minutes

 

[grampamark]

Brewed a 4 gallon batch of Bullwinkle Brown (Moose Drool clone) today.

 

[MaxStout]

Not really "brewing," but will be making another batch of hard lemonade Sunday. This time using wild blueberries instead of raspberry. Also Minute Maid concentrate instead of the cheap Walmart stuff, as the former has a higher sugar content and better flavor. And some blueberry flavoring to add before bottling.

About 51° F here in Carolina. Sunny & warm. But 51° makes the cool down phase go nicely. Loving the colder air right now.

 

[kylewag]

Got a Czech Dark Lager fermenting now. Should be ready to drink just before Christmas.

 

[jdauria]

Just brewed up a nice strong dark Doppelbock yesterday.
