So who's brewing this weekend?

[jeepinjeepin]

Brewing a pale ale right now. If the weather holds I'll brew a belgian wit next. If I'm really feeling like a glutton for punishment I'll make some more base beer for my sour solera tonight.

Yeast pitched on the pale ale. Near the end of the belgian wit boil. Third brew ain't happening.

All done! Lowes delivered a 7 Cu Ft freezer to my apt at 6 PM. I got 74% Eff, and the wort tastes really nutty. This is going to be delicious. The carboy is currently cycling between 60 and 66F. Last time I used English yeast I got a fruity character, but things should go much better this time.

Super smooth brew day for my first AG. Only know was when the chiller clamp and hose popped off and my shoulder and scalp got sprayed with boiling water. A few hours of pain and its gone away now, no problem. I am going to check the hose every brew day from now on.

11 lbs Maris Otter
10 oz Carafa Special
10 oz Munich 10L
8 oz C120

.5 oz Northern Brewer (60) The real beer uses bullion but LHBS was out; so I checked the comparison chart and chose NB
.5 oz Cascade (30)
.5 oz Fuggles (0)

US-04 yeast. I didnt feel like making a starter this time, I rushed to get ready for brew day this week. I built the tun, bought the freezer, and the ingredients 3 days ago.

Just about to fill my HLT to start an American Pale Ale w/ Cluster hops.

 

[ChillWill]

Finished off a cali common - but using wlp830, german lager yeast, might end up an epic fail, going for low 60's ferm temp.

Still havnt started on the Belgian stout, its going to be a late evening I have a feeling. Did get 5 gallons of my pale ale bottled though

Finally able to post here after a long hiatus.. Brewed an English Brown.. slightly under volume due to greater than expected evaporation.. good efficiency aiming for 1051 got, due to said evaporation, 1054..

Water run to make sure all the components are working.. by Cyclogenesis_au, on Flickr

 

[Mischief_Brewing]

Cranked out 15 gallons of a sierra nevada type pale, but played around with my crusher settings and unintentionally upped my efficiency into the mid 80s...

[Genjin]

Was supposed to brew but then the kitchen sink clogged monstrously. Took up the better part of Saturday to get that flowing again. Tuesday evening brew session it is!

 

[HAREEBROWNBEEST]

Got me a red hots candy cider going on 4-20, gonna do another something most likely a simpler cider tomorrow. Down to my last 22 oz bottles of an old coopers IPA I brewed last year late, it's super good all hopped up and stuff. Ordered me a auto siphon and some yeast today! Woo hoo!

 

[tugbucket]

Did the first all grain brew with my fiance. Went pretty damn well. Standing in the back, drinking beer, talking to neighbors, dog sitting and peeling labels from bottles for 3.5 hours. Not a bad Sunday afternoon. The petite saison was bubbling little after 5 hours in the bucket. This morning it was chugging away.

 

[snccoulter]

5 gallons of Blue Moon Clone and an attempt at a table beer, with the used grain and 3 pounds of fresh grain. We shall see either way it gave me an excuse to brew this morning.

 

[thetragichero]

testing out my new turkey fryer brewing setup before my buddy comes by may 5th with barleywine/esb partigyle this coming sunday
it's gonna be a looooooooong day

 

[jtakacs]

if my grain and yeast show up in time, yes... either an all brett sour saison, wheat kolsch, 120 hop addition dIPA or a flanders red. honestly it depends on temperature... i don't have a ferm chamber so i have to pay attention to weather.

also brewing on sunday... trying to crank out four brews by end of may.

 

[sweetcell]

made my ChickenGate Rye IPA yesterday (sunday). brewing went really well, hit 81% efficiency on my first all-grain BIAB batch. unfortunately i rushed through cooling and pitching and ended up adding the yeast at 90*F. fermentation was in progress 12 hours later - not a crazy violent churn but there was movement and a quarter inch of krausen - so all is good
