So who's brewing this weekend?

[BrewBrain]

Just finished an IPA - first brew with my new 15 gallon kettle:rockin:

Evap % seems a little higher than I anticipated. OG sample was amazing

 

[masonsjax]

We're approaching the one year anniversary of the "this weekend" thread.

 

[smokinghole]

I'm brewing up a DIPA using late citra/cascade hop additions today. I should hit about 1085ish and 9% abv hopefully.

 

[beerjunky828]

About to heat up some strike water to 170F. Brewing a Scottish Ale starting in about 30 mins.

 

[Stuntman]

Got a 5 gallon BrandonO's Graff in the Primary this morning, , need to rig up a bucket and ice so that I can get it to the correct fermenting temps. Wanted to do the Graff for a while, now the daughter and my new son in law is on their honey moon, everything should get back to normality. Also moved 5 gallons of my Cherry Wheat into the keg. Gonna be a hit at the Crawfish dinner I'm throwing for the Newly Weds Sunday.

 

[masonsjax]

Got a Pacman starter going last night. I'm gonna use it to brew that hoppy american red ale from "Brewing Classic Styles" tomorrow. I love that book. Slowly working my way through all the recipes.

I'm also kegging a Traditional Bock (also from BCS) tomorrow to get it ready for lagering.

 

[mikeysab]

got my pacman yesterday and a new 52 qt coleman xtreme, so I might do Yoopers DFH 60 clone, or just a Liberty Cream Ale. Darn I wish I ordered that stainless BV From Bargainfittings earlier than today.

 

[Sedge]

I started four 1 gallon batches of cider last night, as well as a small batch of Lindemans Kriek I'm fermenting the excess sugar out of.

 

[SkiGladys]

Just picked up ingredients for a Pale Ale, an IPA, an Irish Stout, and a Hefewiezen.
I think I'll do the Pale and the Hefe on Saturday, then maybe brew the other two later next week.

 

[swankyswede]

Tom Yum Wit this weekend - witbier with lemongrass, kaffir lime zest/leaves, coriander, and maybe chilies later?

 

[ArcaneXor]

Shooting for a RyePA (Can You Brew It Terrapin clone recipe) on Saturday. Pitched the yeast into a 1.8 liter starter this morning, and it's fermenting away. I've never used American Ale II yeast, so this should be interesting.

 

[humann_brewing]

got my WLP001 starter going last night in prep for a barleywine partygyle brew this weekend

 

[ThoricourtBrewing]

I'm brewing version II of Thoricourt Saison. Going to have a couple of version 1 Thoricourt Saisons in the process!!

 

[Chuckus95]

I'm going to do my first AG this weekend using DRoyLenz's stovetop AG method from the All Grain & Partial Mash Brewing page. I'm going to make a 2.5 gallon batch of a simple Simcoe/Citra IPA using Maris Otter as my only grain. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well.

 

[SkiSoloII]

Surly Furious Clone attempt. Also posted recipe on IPA Recipe database after discussions and adjustments. I hope it turns out well, I'm putting in a few hops! Good thing they are relatively inexpensive right now.

Shirley is Furious

Taking a bit from everyone, and getting closer to the IBU's listed on the can (99 IBU). I'm an engineer. I can't help but adjust everything. I'll probably try to dry hop at least 3 gallon of this in the keg..... I like to mix it up with my larger batches - yeast and hopping style. I usually split the fermentation with 2 yeasts, keg 3 gallons from each "half," and bottle the rest of that.

AHS Kolsch is mashing now........

~Diz

 

[FlashRedGLS18T]

Doing an 80 Shilling Ale tomorrow as well as a Hefeweizen.

 

[storunner13]

Blood Orange Hefeweizen to be started tomorrow, WLP300 in the starter jug. SUPER excited for a summery, wheat homebrew.

SkiSoloII, if you like Furious, try to get your hands on their new IIPA "abrasive"! It's great. Good luck with your clone.

 

[Brewsmith]

Did my Brown Ale today after school. Hope to get in an IPA before the weekend is over.

 

[SkiSoloII]

Probably not going to get the efficiency I ws hoping for. It seems 28lbs of grain is a bit much for a 10-gallon round cooler - even with a stiff mash 1:1. I put a couple of lbs into a small "auxilliary" cooler (I used to steep in it), and am kind of doing a double mash - this beer may need a new name entirely!

[mikeysab]

not brewing this weekend but I just got my SS ball valve and hardware for manifold for my brand new 52 qt cooler. My underwear got tighter when I looked at that ball valve. I might just have to belt out a batch tomorrow.

 

[SkiSoloII]

I did OK. Got 12 gallons of 1.065. I am messing around with the late runnigns as well. Boiled 3 Gallons of late runnings (1.025 OG - "Dave Lite") with 0.5 oz of Perle @ 60m and the other 0.5 @ 20 min. The SWMBO doesn't like the "bite" of most of the beers I brew. Though.... She likes porters and stouts - go figure. A good Porter is my next batch.
