I got my Dark Chocolate Stout in the mash right now!

 

[Beernip]

Got my big English Barleywine done and pulled a Mild out of the third runnings. Long brew day but a lot of fun.

 

[smokinghole]

I woke up and decided to brew up an IPA today. I needed something hoppy in a fermentor anyway. I think this will be a triple brew week for me. I see an English Bitter also in my near future.

It was still the weekend for me so: I made a Porter-its gonna be good. It better.My first one. I realized i had alot of dark malt dormant for too long. I wasnt impressed with my first few stouts,but that was then-now its go time...

 

[supe_kitchen]

Breaking out the Christmas gifts, gonna do a weizenbock ale in my new better bottle and make a huge starter for this big brew with my new stir plate. Love playing with Christmas toys.

 

[Brewenstein]

Tried my hand at a Scottish ale yesterday afternoon / evening. Was supposed to be a 70/-. Took 1 gallon of the first runnings and boiled it down to 1/2 gallon and added it back to the main boil which was for 90 min. Started with 7 gallons total, ended with 5 (as planned). Based it on 75% eff. but got about 88%! Of course this was the one time I did not take a pre-boil gravity reading, so I ended up with 1.050 and more of an 80/- beer. Decided not to add water and just leave it.

 

[maltbarleyhops]

brewing "Dont Spilzen the Pilzen" this saturday. last batch lasted 2 weeks.

 

[Andrewtherooster]

My buddy and I are making a 10% RIS this weekend that we're going to add DME and Turbinado to while in primary with the goal of fermenting something to about 15% abv. Let's hope it works!

If my 20psi propane hose shows up by Saturday (3-5 days shipping my tookus, more like 7-10) I'll be brewing the first batch on my new toys I got for Christmas.

Wrote up an all-cascade Cascadian Dark Ale with 15.8oz of hops.... 15.5oz of which will be added throughout 15min, 10min, 5min, flame-out and dry hop additions.



Also, I should mention that it should be Cascadian Dark Ale. Here's why:

1) Respect the region in which it was invented. And "it can't be a CDA if you don't brew it in Cascadia" is bull. What do you call your kolsch/pilsner/Berliner-weisse/etc then?
2) Black IPA is an oxymoron and sounds dumb if you word out the acronym
3) I can't even remember what the BJCP wants to call it because it's like 10 words long and pretty silly sounding.

What was the recipe you brewed? I went to my LHBS and they told me to take my best ipa recipe and add carafa III (.5-.75 lbs) to it. Brewed it about a month ago have it sitting in the keg, but don't have high hopes for it.

Brewing a 10 gallon batch of AG 100% wheat Hefe Saturday.

5 gallons will be fermented with Wy3333, 5 gallons with Wy3638.

This my first all wheat, and the first time using 3333.

 

[solbes]

Will be brewing my first lager this weekend. Chose a lower gravity brew to start, a Vienna. 4 Qt starter of WY2308 is nearly fermented out, so I will cold crash it starting Friday morning for a decant on Sunday.

Cpn Kirk, I've brewed 2 wheats with 3333 (have yeast stored in fridge still). Definitely has a tart edge to it, which I like. Ferments and drops quickly (2 weeks). Both of my wheats have dropped crystal clear, which I find pretty unusual for a wheat. So not sure you're going to get the hefe look with your brew. My second wheat, I added Raspberries which clouded it up nicely.

 

[BrewerinBR]

Brewing an American Black Ale on Sunday.

 

[mlyday]

Well Im planing a saturday brew of 5 gallons of Cream of Three crops. My order from brewmasterswarehouse should be here on friday, minus the flaked corn which they were out of. If I can find that locally Ill be brewing, if I cant it might be a cream of two crops.

 

[tinman1]

Just did a all pilsner malt pale w/ bravo, palisade, calypso hops. This weekend has a 10gal batch of vienna lager using bohemian lager yeast from a previous mexican lager batch scheduled. Holiday season this year put brewing on the back burner for about 4 weeks. Lickily I stock piled this fall in anticipation! Next after that is first sour split into 5 one gal batches using differnt fruits in each.

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

two five gallon batches; an IPA with Bell's yeast and a northern english brown.:rockin:

I've been told 3333 produces a beer similar to Paulaner, which would ROCK!

:rockin:

 

[modernlifeisANDY]

Batch of double IPA tomorrow with my bro, who is in town from San Francisco. First time using the new double burner and the March pump - totally psyched!

 

[nrock74]

Had today off & yesterday's weather was perfect for brewing so did a Simcoe IIPA on the back deck.

 

[Calichusetts]

My final test batch of my very first original recipe...its an Imperial IPA @9.5% called a "90 minute NAPA"

 

[ajbram]

Galena/Cascade IPA.... looking forward to drinking it already!

 

[mrkrausen]

Plan on having a brew session on Sunday with some friends. I have a oatmeal stout kit I just picked up. I plan on altering it somehow. I know it's nothing crazy, but possibly a couple of cinnamon sticks with 10 mins left in the boil. Considering going to the LHBS to get something else to brew this weekend as well. Possibly a good light summer beer.

 

[frod1963]

Just mashed in a Simco/ Amarillo Session pale ale with my new 15 gallon Blichmann mash tun. THis thing is freaking sweet
