So who's brewing this weekend?

[Brewsmith]

I've got a 60 Shilling going right now. It will be a big yeast starter for a 70/-. 80/-, Wee Heavy and an Irish Red. After those are done I'll have 9 beers already done for next years NHC.

 

[Coldies]

I had a good day as well on Saturday, transferred my IPA to my seconday and dryhoped it. Now I have a Hefeweizen in the primary that was brewed on Sat as well, that is going off like a yeast party this AM. I love this new hobby of mine!!!!

I won a red ale kit (or part of one) in a raffle and brewed it Saturday...with one helluva hangover. The kit had just the LME and the crystal. I just used some of my opened hops up in it. I think it was:

3.3 lbs Light LME
3.3 lbs Amber LME
1.5 lbs Crystal 20L (or was it 40L...whatever)
.5oz Chinook @ 60
.5oz Cascade @ 10
.25oz Cascade @ 0

5 gallon boil, then topped off. Pitched a Notty. It'll be beer of some sort.

 

[BigJerk]

I ended up adding 3 oz of a puer (black fermented chinese tea, normally has a slightly smokey to sweet earthy taste) to my stout. I'm hoping it'll turn out well, I've had a few green tea pale ales I love, but puer is my favorite tea and I think it will compliment the stout nicely.

 

[SourHopHead]

5.25gal of Watermelon Sour today. 12.86P OG.

6gal 90min IPA clone based brew scheduled.

[ChshreCat]

Brewing? I'm hoping to get around to bottling the saison I brewed in August!

 

[chapa]

Going to brew an All Centennial APA/IPA. Was thinking about doing 1oz FWH, 1oz 60min, 1oz Flame Out, 1oz DryHop - 5g batch. Sound like a good hop schedule?

 

[AwesomeSquad]

I'm brewing a chocolate pumpkin stout this morning as soon as I get off work. Should be miserable. Alright.

 

[Saint Aardvark]

Doing a sort-of bitter with home-grown Mount Hood hops and Munich.

I would check the AAU's for the 60 minute boil to make sure it has enough balance for whatever grains you are using.

My Centennials are 6%AA. I'm looking at around 1.060-1.065 SG, and maybe like 40 IBUS. My Amarillo/Simcoe was 1.061 w 50 IBUS and it was great. Cents are kind of powerful though. I always have a hard time trying to ratio my bitt/flavor/aroma hops and SG. I try to just do equal amts of each. Is there any good way to have an idea, without just trial and error? Beersmith has an IBU/SG ratio, I guess a 1.0 is an equal ratio? Sorry for the OT post.

Thanks for the help! Switched out the manifold in my MLT with a steel braid, and went from losing 1gal of liquid under the manifold, to hardly having a cup left over. Very excited to brew this weekend, and hopefully get a good eff!

This weekend I think I can squeeze in the time to use my new mash tun (upgraded from 5 to 12 gallon). I'm thinking my recipe will be something along these lines...grain bill is loosely based on EW's Haus Pale.

8 lbs Pale
2 lbs Vienna
.5 lb Crystal 10
.5 lb Biscuit
1oz Black Patent (may substitute for Carafa III...may use both)

.5 Palisade @60
.25 Palisade @30
.25 Palisade @15
.50 Cascade @15
.25 Palisade @0
.50 Cascade @0

~1.059OG / ~30 IBU / ~11 SRM

Pitch with a Notty. I've got a ton of Palisade hops and have never used them before. I wanted something that would give me an idea of how they work but was afraid to use all Palisade since I've read mixed reviews. Any tweaking ideas are welcome.

Bottled my very clear Black Pearl Porter last night - had a bit of an alcohol bite, so it is going to bottle age for longer than I planned. ABV on that one turned out to be ~ 5.764.

This weekend is going to be a Belgian Dark Strong Ale (from the recipe section) that is for drinking this coming summer, or next fall. Thinking of a bit of oak and maybe some bourbon? Who knows.

Also going to bottle the best Merlot, or any other wine, I have ever done. Sat on oak for two months and is so perfect now........ :rockin:

 

[IrregularPulse]

Hoping to do a smokey brown ale next week before the baby comes.

 

[nikkormat]

started a double IPA last night, and as soon as one of my fermenters frees up I'm gonna do something quick and dirty to get me through the winter.

 

[Homebrewtastic]

Just finished an "I don't know what". It's a little two row with medjool dates, brown sugar, concord grape juice, red himalayan rice, orange peel and ginger.

 

[HexKrak]

Bottling my "First Born Pale Ale", and refilling the primary with a Punky's Pumpkin Porter.

 

[Conesus_Kid]

OktoberFAST on the schedule for tomorrow...

 

[rmolledo]

kegging my "The Notorious E.S.B." on saturday and am going to brew either a
Belgian Dumb Blonde or another Hefe.

 

[Chemiker]

I'm doing a Sierra Nevada Glissade Clone on Sunday

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/glissade-clone-time-200248/

Got my starter going nice and strong, all ready to do my first lager

 

[TwoHeadsBrewing]

I'm brewing up a boring ole wheat tomorrow, but it's kind of like the potato of my kegerator. I've got a super malty and roasty brown ale, an 8.2% extra IPA, and a 6% Blackheart stout on tap now. I figure that wheat beer will round it out nicely, and then I'll be on to a Barleywine, ESB, and Dunkleweizen for my next brews. It's going to be a fine drinking harvest season!

 

[Teaman]

Ballantynes XXX Ale

 

[EoinMag]

I'll be doing 5 Gallons of Graff and 15 Gallons of APA this evening.
