Yesterday I brewed a Fat Tire clone. It's my first time fermenting in my Johnson Control-led deep freeze, and it seems to be going beautifully.
 
Brewing right now as I type, waiting the 60min mashing time.
Brewing a wit beer, my own recipe as follow, 5gal batch:
4.5# white wheat malt
1.5# pilsen malt
1/2# Briesss aromatic
1# Briess Munich 10L
2# flaked wheat
1# rice hulls
1/2 oz Hallertauer for 60min
1 oz Hallertauer for 5min
1/4 oz cracked coriander
1 oz sweet orange
1 oz bitter orange
1 tsp irish moss for 20min

Mashing at 153F.
S33 dry yeast

Expected numbers:
OG=1.046
FG=1.009
ABV=4.7%
IBU=10
SRM=6
 
Really itching to test both a) my roommate's new MiniMash MLT and b) our new chest freezer for fermentation temp control (and also pump setup for wort chilling). A lot of new stuff to test in one brew - hopefully it's ready this weekend in time for a Yeti clone.
 
Brewing the Lady Liberty Pale Ale from Palmer's How to Brew on July 4. Picking up the grain, hops, and yeast tomorrow. The empty keg in the freezer is crying out for a quaffable summer beer!

Edit:

APA is in the fermenter, cooling to pitching temp.
 
Brewing up 8 gals of an American Amber tomorrow morning. Going to split it between two 5 gal fermenters. One half will get blackberries, and the other half is a toss up between dryhopping and blackberries/bugs.
 
Just brewed 5gal of a Smithwicks and introduced a guy to the world of brewing. First fermentation in the new chamber too, hope it holds the temp, I guess we'll see in the morning.

Might try to squeeze in an ESB tomorrow.
 
July 4th pale ale brew im calling ALE TO THE CHEIF. 9 pounds 2row .5 pound 2row toasted 2 ounces amerillo hops so i think it could be a SMaSH ale? God bless America!!:D
 
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.

Sweet setup. I kegged 15 gallons of Wounded Knee today and brewed 15 gallons of Bavarian Hefeweizen.
 
Making this today:

9Lbs 2-row
1lb brown malt
1lb crystal 40
.75lb roast barley
.25lb chocolate 350
.5 wheat

Mashing at 152f

OG hopefully 1.053-1.055.

30 IBUs from two additions of Willamette hops, 60 and 10 mins.

Gonna ferment it with Burton Ale yeast at 68f.

My experiment, turning JZ's brown porter into a stout with some American ingredients and more fruit from the yeast.

This is my first beer using a stir plate, temp controller, and oxygen tank w/stone. Hope it works well!
 
I didn't brew this weekend, but I did rig up a temporary toolbox-mounted pump. I plan to redo the way I'm mounting the pump, but for now I should at least be able to brew with it the way it is. I just need a couple more fittings from HD/Lowes, and then I'll be ready to use my plate chiller on the next batch.


I also designed a new recipe that I'm kind of excited to try out. I think it's going to taste great, but only time will tell.
 
About to mash in with an IPA

13 lb 2-row
3 lb Munich
1 lb 60L

Hopped every 10 minutes starting 30 minutes into the boil with a mixture of Chinook and Cascade, increasing the percentage of Cascade and decreasing the Chinook through the 90 minute boil. Dry hopping with additional Cascade.

Cheers!
 
Doing Midwest's Irish Stout extract kit tonight.

Tomorrow I'm doing their Octane IPA all grain kit.

To accompany me I bought a sixer of Flying Dog's Snake Dog IPA.

Fun weekend in store.
 
Making a variation on the Bass clone that Biermuncher has posted.
8 lbs MO
2.5 lbs flaked corn
.5 lb 60L
.5 lb honey malt
.14 lb roasted barley
3 oz EKG
notty dry

strike water is heating now....
 
I need to keg the Janet's Brown from BCS and gonna try my hand at a CDA (BIPA or whatever you wanna call it) this week. That's the last recipe I have planned atm, so I need to fire up qbrew and figure out what's next.
 
Kegged my blonde ale and brewed a pale ale with some of the repitch. Brewing my American stout tomorrow with more of the same yeast.
 
Gonna brew black ipa/cda/whatever you call it this weekend.

brewed this last year, but going to sub in chinook for the cascade. i figure i have enough citrus with the cent's and amarillo. need some resiny to play with the roast.
 
I've got a couple of things on deck for this weekend. As far as beer goes, I'm either doing EdWort's Haus Pale Ale or some sort of cream ale and I'm going to be making up a batch of sweetish strawberry wine. And maybe (likely, in fact) bottling up ten gallons or so of apfelwein that's been aging since...February? I forget. But still! Huzzah for apfelwein!
 
I'll be brewing the Premium Style Bitter ( forgot the actual name ) from Brewing Classic Styles this afternoon after a post work nap. I just sampled the Mild that I brewed from BCS and it was excellent.
 
I just kegged a Blueberry Summer Ale, and in an hour or three I will be brewing some Ginger Ale using 6oz of fresh ginger and Sorachi Ace hops.
 
Brown Porter...mmmmmmm Man I love that smell.
I also love the clarity that the RIMS gives you.
