So who's brewing this weekend?

[osagedr]

Gonna do a 5 gallon AG Czech pilsner this weekend (not sure if it will be Friday or Saturday). 9.5 lbs Weyermann Pils; 0.75 lb Carapils; 0.25 lb Caramunich. Saaz hops at 90 mins, 45 mins, 15 mins. 122 for 20 minutes; 155 for 60 minutes; decoct to mashout around 170. Saflager s-23 2 packs rehydrated pitched & fermented at 55 degrees.

Beautiful weather calls for some refreshing pale ale! Brewing up our pale ale recipe (Centennial/Citra hops, a tiny bit coriander, and a little lemon peel) -- the only difference this time is we're trying a less attenuative yeast strain (WLP051 vs. WLP001) to see how if we like the balance better that way. It was really, really good with a dry finish... but gotta tinker! Came out around 1.005-1.006 last time, this time we're shooting for about 1.010-1.011.

Curious to your hop schedule, especially with the citra. I just did an all citra apa and its decent. Definitely got a good aroma, but I think it might be better to use it with diff hops, and maybe at later additions.

I'm at minimum going to bottle or keg my porter this weekend the samples of this monster have been delicious! It actually hit 1.082, so its not really to style, but I dont care. Can't wait to get it carbed up. I need a bigger kegerator!

Brewed a Hefeweizen yesterday. My first step mash - lots of fun.

Curious to your hop schedule, especially with the citra. I just did an all citra apa and its decent. Definitely got a good aroma, but I think it might be better to use it with diff hops, and maybe at later additions.

Here's the recipe:

6.6 lbs Maris Otter (we're using Crisp's)
0.4 lbs Crystal 60

0.8 oz Centennial @ 60 minutes
1 oz Citra @ 30 minutes
1 oz Citra @ 5 minutes
0.5 oz coriander, crushed @ 5 minutes
0.5 oz dried lemon peel @ 5 minutes
1 oz Citra dry hopped in keg

Mash @ 152F for 60 minutes
OG/FG: 1.045/1.010-1.011 (@ 85% extract efficiency)

WLP051 w/ starter (001 worked well, but like I said -- always gotta mess with it!). Simple recipe allowing the hops room to do their thang.

As far as Citra applications, we've stuck with flavor/aroma, mostly. And we love what it brings to the table -- really some lovely aroma in there. I suppose it could be used a dual-purpose hop, though; it definitely has high AA% and oil concentrations (we're using whole leaf Citra rated at about 13.5% AA and Hop Growers of America lists its oil concentration between 2.2-2.5 -- which is a huge amount. Though they suggest it as a flavor/aroma hop and not dual-purpose).

Hey Everyone,

First of all...have a great weekend!!!

I am going to brew a Paulaner style weizen this weekend from notes I gathered from a post in the Northern Brewer site intitled “The Great Bavarian Weissbier Project of 2007/2008”. In those massive threads is a double infusion mash recipe. However, I think I will use a single infusion, double sparge method instead. I have tried double infusion before and failed miserably.

We shall see how it turns out in a few weeks.

Happy Hopping...

sadly my kettles will be quiet and the burners cool this weekend (I'm working) but NEXT weekend will see two batches (Nice old generic Dunkel and another batch of simple summer ale -seems the keg was a bit light last time I checked. Must be a leak somewhere.... have to check up on that. I figure another batch of ale will help plug the leak (grin).
