So who's brewing this weekend?

[WCrane]

Knocked off a Scottish 70 based on Jamils recipe on Saturday. First time grinding my own grains with a converted clay roller, Worked well and manage about 70% effeciency.

I brewed what should have been a Strong Ale on Saturday, but with a disappointing OG of 1.050 I think its going to not be so strong. The target was 1.065, it was a partial mash and the only thing I can think of was that I didn't get enough sugar from the partial mash.
This is what happens when you take 10 months off of brewing.

Brewed my first 10g batch yesterday ... oh my, I don't think I'm ever going back to 5g ... also, I believe I'll start doing back to back 10g batches since the extra time for the second batch ( maybe an extra 1.5 hours ) is pretty negligible

 

[bassbone]

I brewed up Orfy's Mild Mannered Ale yesterday and a starter (using WLP007) for the Robust Porter I will be brewing tonight.

 

[copper]

Bottling a batch of Deception on Sunday.

[Captain_Bigelow]

Brewing my Caffrey's Irish Cream Ale Friday night. Then I have a Lemongrass Wheat and BM's Centennial Blonde on deck. But will probably save those until Labor Day weekend.

Brewing an Imperial Stout/KBS clone Saturday.
Won't know the true results until at least Thanksgiving.

Brewing the beginnings of a blackberry lambic on Saturday. I guess before it's infected and soaked in fruit it'll be an abbey ale...

[bdnoona]

Brewing Pliny again Sunday, after partying all night at my friends wedding the night before. It's going to be really rough. I hate getting all sweaty when I'm really hungover.

 

[steinsato]

I want to get a another kolsch done this weekend. I have another kolsch that is going on 1 month in primary and I want to use the yeast cake for this one, but it's swmbo's birthday Saturday and I doubt she's gonna want me brewing on her birthday. This could get tricky.

 

[marubozo]

Just got back from LHBS with some grain. Looks like I'm going to be brewing a Edmund Fitzgerald porter clone this weekend. :rockin:

 

[Saint Aardvark]

Trying a Belgian-ish stout-ish sort of thing...looking forward to seeing how it turns out. And then a trip to the LHBS on Sunday; I figure I should come home with 52 lb of grain and 6 oz of hops. I think they'll be happy to see me.

 

[eanmcnulty]

I'm brewing a 2.5g batch of IPA right now. Using a mix of extra hops: Chinook @ 60, Centennial @ 20, Saaz @ 5, and Hallertauer @ 5.
6# 2-row
1# crystal 20L
.5# carapils
US-05
Should be pretty good.

 

[MikeScott]

I'm doing a couple of 1 gallon batches of an amber to test out some wild hops.

I'm doing a couple of 1 gallon batches of an amber to test out some wild hops.

Do you mash 1g batches, or do you mash 5g and split it? Do you then boil a few 1g batches and follow different hop schedules?

Me Me Me!

I recently acquired a new (to me) fridge and a couple 15 gallon HDPE drums. I've been waiting on a gifted temp controller to fire up the brewhouse again. Just got the call to pick up the temp controller. Stopping by the LHBS on the way.

10 gallons of Simcoe IPA on Sunday. Unfortunately, my brew buddy is out of town. This will be my first solo flight since I was doing extracts.

 

[marubozo]

My helper is stirring the first runnings, even though they don't need to be stirred.

 

[eanmcnulty]

She looks like she is stirring a porter. I can tell by the excitement on her face.

Hahaha. It's going to be the best porter ever.
