So who's brewing this weekend?

[riverfrontbrewer]

Made 10 gallons of blonde last thurs then split 5 on Abbey Ale yeast and 5 on notty.....racked to 2ndary last night so I would have fermentors open for a dunkelweisen brew on Fri and a IPA on Sunday.

 

[Marshdaddy]

Doing an all Amarillo late-hopped pale ale. First time doing an all late-hopped pale; very much looking forward to it.

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

Just brewed up 4g of raspberry wit last night. Went well except for the massive thunderstorm that blew through right at the beginning of the boil. yikes.

 

[peanasky]

Does thursday count as the weekend? Wait, I'm WI, of course it does

that was wicked. up in thiensville we got monsooned for like 20 minutes, then calm...

I'm finally brewing an oktoberfest i've wanted to brew for about a month.

geeze its been 8 weeks since i brewed....my pipeline is dwindling! time to switch to liquor for awhile, lol.

 

[arturo7]

10 gallons of a hoppy Amercian Red on Friday.

 

[steinsato]

a Hoppy Red sounds like a good plan

 

[knightbeer39]

I'm doing 10 gallons of Bier Muncher's "nierra sevada" clone. Trying out my new brutus-like system for the first time using the brew stand I bought from Marcus (aka Pinup Brewery). Should be fun!

 

[Mischief_Brewing]

If I can escape to the LHBS I'll brew up 5 gallons of what I'm calling my "freezer special" IIPA. I've got a ton of hops in the freezer that are begging to be randomly thrown into a 90 minute boil, creating an unreplicable IIPA. I'll note the additions, but doubt that I'll be sober enough to measure each addition properly.

Recipe as it stands in my head right now:

Grain Bill:
16lbs golden promise
2lbs crystal 10L
1lb honey malt

Mash 60 mins @ 154

Hops:
Columbus, centennial, and summit hops are what I can remember being in the freezer, but I know I have more.

OG: 1.090
FG: 1.024


Will likely do some Edwort's applewein and 3 gallons of NJ Wildflower Mead too.

Need to get a lot going now since I'll be out of town for the next few weekends...

 

[Homercidal]

Might be brewing this weekend. Thinking about making an Imperial Stout, or something with bourbon and oak in it. I have been trying to get working on my car again, and so I might try to do both. Maybe work on car on Saturday and prep for brew on Sunday.

 

[heywolfie1015]

Making 5 gallons of a saison on Saturday. My parents are taking the kids for the day and SWMBO will be out shopping with a friend. House all to myself. Lovin' it.

 

[Homercidal]

Had a stroke of genius! Smoke that Pork Butt in the freezer this weekend while the wife is away! Work on car and brew beer and eat pulled pork and drink too much beer!!

or bite the bullet and haul my woodworking tools downstate and help the MIL with some house projects...

I'm afraid of Karma right now.

 

[MR2Aaron]

I'm brewing this weekend. I bought a house back in October, and haven't had much time since then, but I think I'll finally have a weekend where I don't have anything really planned. I went and picked up ingredients yesterday for 3 gallons of Edwort's Haus Pale from AHS's new location here in Austin. The new location is really hard to find, since there's no visible sign, and if you miss it, you have a nightmare of one way highway frontage roads to navigate in order to turn around. Their new showroom is pretty nice, though.

This is gonna be very relaxing.

if you aren't doing all this in your underwear and a wifebeater then Kharma certainly will bite you in the ass.

 

[GaryJohn]

Just got a bunch of flip-top bottles off craigslist, gonna brew up a RIS for this winter and fill em up! (It will probably be better the winter after that though, lets see if it'll last).

 

[eppo]

Brewing a German pilsner this Sunday. It's going to be fo my buddys 30th birthday. Then brewing up an ESB for another friends birthday.
Love excuses to brew!

 

[riverfrontbrewer]

Homer, throw a few lbs of base malt in the smoker too!

 

[GoldMiner]

Brewing an APA on Saturday morning.

 

[ClaudiusB]

Brewing a German Helles on Saturday night.


Cheers,

[oldschool]

Brewing up a brown ale in the morning.

 

[ScottishPete]

Just had the most brutal brew day ... wife took kids to grandparents until tomorrow afternoon so I ran to the LHBS to pickup supplies for a Dogfish 60 clone even tho I have two Brew Builder batches coming tomorrow from Brewmasters Warehouse

LHBS didn't have 66% of the hops I need

Pretty sure he didn't grind in the 6oz of Marris Otter I needed ( didn't realize till later )

He double charged me for a pound of DME ( didn't realize till later )

Get home to inspect keggles ... forgot to clean them after last batch ( two weeks ago ) ... they're an absolute mess ... takes a while to get them all clean

Can't get the burners working on my brew stand ... have to use the turkey fryer which means lifting & moving the very hot keggles multiple times

Stuck sparge

Stuck boil kettle!! probably crap from forgetting to clean ... dumped 1/2 gallon of water into MLT to see if I can get pump primed ... nope ... dump all of boil kettle into MLT, forgetting about the 1/2 gallon of water ... SG ends .011 points low

Hose side of plate chiller springs a leak

Look at primary fermenter and realize that's probably oxi clean in there rather than star san ... this is with 5 minutes left in the boil

Dump stir plate into primary

Dog crapped on rug

 

[cclloyd]

Making 5 gallons of IPA tonight. The garage will be a sweatshop but this time of year it comes with the territory.

 

[copper]

Starting off with Grahams English Cider this weekend for my first homebrew. :rockin:

 

[coppergti]

brewing a brown ale in about 3 hrs from now....

 

[Pilgarlic]

Not brewing today; twelve cases in process/inventory. Bell's Two Hearted clone next week.

 

[marubozo]

I was supposed to be starting my RIS in about an hour but it looks like the weather has other plans

 

[greencoat]

Not this weekend, but come Tuesday I'll be giving my new burner a road test on a mild or bitter.

 

[jwatkins56550]

Brewed a bitter yesterday in the hot humid weather...it was in record timing though. From start to finish ( including cleaning and sanitizing equipment) it took 5 hours.

I feel dead today...but at least its rockin away with a nice krausen!

 

[bovineblitz]

Success with my American wheat this weekend, hit all my numbers dead on for the first time

 

[misterVT]

For the first time I brewed two batches in one session on a 95 degree day. Went pretty well except for dumping boiling wort on my hand. I was distracted because the neighbors were curious what the hell I was doing. Did 10 gallons each of Franzikaner Hefeweissen and Wounded Knee IPA.
