So who's brewing this weekend?

[Refly]

Brewed a Brown Porter on Sunday - happily bubbling away today.

 

[corkybstewart]

I brewed my oatmeal stout yesterday-20 pounds 2 row, 4 pounds oatmeal and 2 pounds of rye malt. The sparge took forever but it's bubbling away. OG was 1.074, and it had the viscosity of used diesel oil.

My braid collapsed in my mash tun. I had to dump it all into a kettle, fix the braid and then drain and sparge.

What a pain in the a$$.

All is well, though. Finishing the boil now:rockin:

Don't feel bad. I went through basically the same thing last night.

I had the day off too. I brewed a AHS Honey Blonde kit I had gotten a while back. Hit the sp. gr. spot on, a first for me. I also used my homemade immersion chiller instead of the plate chiller as I didn't feel like cleaning up the plate chiller and got to use my Blichmann pot. I have to say, brewing with the right equipment makes it all the better. Whirl pooled the trub and drained off a nice clear beer, put the fermenting bucket in the swamp cooler and pitched the yeast at 73°F. Temp is now down to 65°F so it should ferment nice and clean in the 60's. Can't wait for my next day off to do a 10 gal. AG batch.

I have a day off tomorrow and will be brewing a base recipe for Arrogant Bastard, though it won't be AB as I'll be substituting Galaxy for all the hop additions. It is springtime here in Sydney Australia and it should be a lovely day to be out in the back yard.

Surprised nobody is brewing an all Columbus beer today If I had the day off I might have had to slip an All Columbus IPA into my rotation, to "celebrate" Columbus day! Really need to bottle/keg a few batches though...all of my carboys are full right now!

 

[iceman1407]

Almost mid boil on a goose island sofie clone right now...

 

[Whippy]

Ok, so since I decided to brew my American Stout last weekend instead of the American Brown Ale, I'll brew the Catahoula Carolina Brown Ale this weekend....starter going on tomorrow evening or the next day, I can't wait!

 

[HokieBrewer]

20 minutes into an Amber right now. So far so good!

 

[JeepDiver]

just started the water for a Founders Breakfast Stout Clone. Probably going to split in Seconday and put half on some burbon soaked toasted oak chips.

 

[chapa]

Getting ready to start brewing a Chappist Belgian Dubbel

 

[jamboparty]

Going to try out the Black Widow Porter recipe from BCS tomorrow. I was pleased with the APA recipe from there so I figured I'll try another one from that book.

And no, I will not be adding spiders to the wort.

 

[wmatejka]

Smithwick's clone yesterday and hoping to get an English Brown going this eve or tomorrow. But gotta keep my focus on the Lions tomorrow, so might have to hold off. 5 different batches in Primary right now, so I don't have to push another batch. PS - Anyone ever toss a couple oz of dark chocolate bar into their Stout primary before? Looking for opinions on messing around with my Milk Stout 10g batch that I was gonna split into 2 primary's.

 

[ChuckCollins]

Brewing a Smoked Beer .

 

[jafo28]

Founders Breakfast Stout clone going right now, later will be a brown porter. I also managed to score a couple four packs of Founders for comparison later, I think i'll drink one while i'm brewing it too.:rockin:

 

[djfriesen]

Planning on heading to LHBS and picking up stuff for a BlackHook Strong Porter Clone recipe I found on BeerTools. Brother will pick up stuff for Yooper's Oatmeal Stout, and we'll try to get a double brewday in on Tuesday.

 

[truckndad]

Got a Dunkel all ready to go for Monday.

 

[PickledFetus]

Brewing BierMuncher's OktoberFAST Ale, though I messed with the hop schedule a bit. I'm still experimenting with the no-chilling process as I haven't really been happy with adding hops directly to the cube (cube-hopping) it seems to add more bitterness than I expected (even using adjustment charts) and it lends a slightly unpleasant grassy flavor. I'm just doing two additions on this one - a FWH addition of Hallertauer and a 90min addition of Magnum. Should be a tasty beer, even though I missed the Oktoberfest season for this one.

 

[Barnzy02]

Just started the mash on my first porter

 

[Petehopinn]

I am brewing this weekend, a christmas ginger ale light hopped with golding hop and dark -malt and a tad of fresh honey 5 gallons oh and 5 gallons of Perry from my Perry tree its going to be a good christmas cheers and good will my drinking buds

 

[tobrew]

Brewing a American light Ale today and my Christmas Noel tomorrow:rockin:

 

[swoof]

Last night/early this morning I brewed a Belgian Strong Dark using the 3522 cake from the batch of Surly Cynic clone I just bottled.

 

[beowulf]

Just brewed an Imperial Stout...just in time to bottle the Rye Stout...then mulch in the hops before it gets too cold...

 

[nspaldi0]

I brewed up BM's black pearl porter today. Hit all my numbers and was a very smooth brew day. First time I've brewed back to back weekends in a long time and loving it.

 

[jmacker]

Looking forward to giving my brothers-in-law a home brew tutorial with a 10-g batch of Thanksgiving oatmeal stout in the morning.

Brewing this 10/15

http://brewersconnection.com/recipes/RohanRed.htm

But adding 1 pound of caramelized local clover honey (1 pound before caramelization). I have brewed this a couple times before and am looking for more of a roasty, nutty flavor...just a tad.
no other tweeks, trying to kepp it scientific

Smells awesome with the honey

 

[chapa]

Somehow I got a way better efficiency than expected and even ended up with a little extra volume making my Dubbel. Shooting for 1.064 and hit 1.078! My only concern is the ibu's only being around 20...tasted damn good though! Kegged up an ESB also

 

[Veritas]

Yesterday saw my return to brewing after having been laid up for 6 weeks following a crash on my Harley. My bike was totaled, but fortunately, I "only" ended up with 4 broken ribs, a double-fractured collarbone, an twisted ankle, and a bunch of road rash. (Good thing I had previously brewed an Alt, a stout, and a pilsner to see me through my recovery!)

Although a bit sore, it felt great to start brewing again! The moment I doughed in for my porter recipe, and that wonderfully malty smell of the mash hit my nose, I felt "back in the game."

Brewing is awesome therapy. Cheers.

Mashed my Blessed Bitter while at church today, ready to mashout now.
