So who's brewing this weekend?

[Selfsufficient]

Kegged an Irish Red and just racked an American Brown experiment.

 

[VABeerSnob]

Did it all yesterday, and am listening to the burbling of a blowoff tube in a gallon jug as I type this.

1. Brewed a Hefeweizen, using EdWort's recipe (that's the blowoff tube I mentioned).
2. Bottled a porter.
3. Racked a Maibock to secondary, put it in the fridge to lager.
4. Racked a German-style lager to secondary, put it next to the Maibock.

Busy, busy weekend!

 

[MBasile]

Does a starter count? I FINALLY got my White Labs German Bock yeast, so a 3+ liter starter is in order for my Maibock.

 

[masonsjax]

My WL Bock yeast is coming in tomorrow along with some grains for the traditional bock recipe in BCS. That will be my first lager.

Brewing my first All-Grain brew this weekend. A Belgian Trippel. Maybe a little challenging for a first AG brew, but what the heck!

I actually think the wort production on that beer is pretty simple, the fermentation requires a little attention though.

The lame thing about some of the belgian yeasts (coughWYEAST3787cough) is that you'll hit your attenuation like a champ but the flavor is so dependent on pitching somewhat cool and slowly raising the temp. If your trip is like my first tripel, when you look at your numbers and the yeasts specs you'll feel really confident. If the fermentation doesn't go well you've got 5 gallons of bubblegum brew, rocket fuel or barley-banana smoothie.

just my .02

 

[BrianTheBrewer]

I am finally going to get my Stone Ruination clone going this coming weekend...

 

[Stuntman]

I want to brew right now. A New Castle that is dead on, except for a hint of honey taste. Looking how to get that honey taste in there faintly. probably just put an oz in the boil.

Yeah, this bock (once the 3.3L starter is done) will be my first lager.

[rwinzing]

I bottled my cream ale yesterday, brewing a Wheat Stout now and Have either a Black IPA or a British IPA tomorrow

 

[Brewenstein]

My brew partner and I brewed 12 gallons of a belgian dubbel and 12 gallons of amber ale AND bottled 6 gallons of Jamil's Black Widow Porter and 6 gallons of a cascade IPA :rockin:. 9 hours for everything from start to finish, including a run to the LHBS to crush grain because my grain crusher seized up while grinding the second batch. I planned this long day because my wife and three daughters are out of town. My son (11) helped us brew. He has a soccer game this evening and then we are getting tacos and watching a guy movie later (Predator) . All in all it will be a perfect day.

 

[meddin]

5.5g Ed's Wort's Haus Pale Ale - today - S-05
bottled water (afraid to use my Chicago supplied water for a pale)

I use the water for pale ales with no problem (west chicago burbs). I just leave it sit out overnight for the chlorine to off gas.

I did do that for the red. I was concerned that the bicarbonate level would be a problem - but maybe i will try it next pale.

 

[ILuvIPA]

[DBbrewing]

My homebrew club had a group brew yesterday and we had 4 members brewing. I brewed 10 gallons of EdWorts Pale Ale.

 

[Pick]

Did a batch of altbier. Tried out my new immersion chiller and electric HLT. Put a 5500 watt element in a 24 quart Bayou Classic pot. Ran it off my 7500 watt generator! Full pot boils in less than 20 minutes.
