So who's brewing this weekend?

[jfrank85]

Doing a 5 gallon batch of blonde ale bittering with centennial and finishing with sterling and a 5 gallon batch of Belgian / American pale ale hybrid sunday to be ready for the fourth. Gonna be 91F with no AC. Starting the session early.

 

[Horseballs]

Brewed in a bag a hefeweizen last night, will be adding dry hops to my ipa tomorrow and will be brewing in a bag an ESB on saturday. Gotta get that pipeline going.

 

[jtkratzer]

Brewing a 10 gallon batch of centennial blonde as my first all grain and first batch on the new rig.

 

[sweetcell]

for this long weekend i'm doing three batches: a breakfast stout, a belgian blond and a amarillo/optic smash (recipes in signature). it'll be my first multi-batch weekend... going' big.

 

[jfrank85]

I've done a three batch, 15 gallon total day once. It was a nightmare! I had 10 guys at the house at the time teaching them how to home brew and the Russian imperial stout sparge stuck! Had to scoop grain and wort out and filter it through a biab bag. Lessons were quickly learned on that day lol.

 

[EoinMag]

Just got 4 vials of WY 005 to brew a pale ale this weekend. It'll probably be a smash due to the ingredients list. Looking forward to it as I haven't brewed in quite a number of months.

sounds like a nightmare - with an audience, to boot. ugh. i'm not doing all three in one day, i'll be brewing the stout and the half-batch smash on saturday and the blond on sunday. hopefully that'll make things a tad more manageable.

 

[Barnzy02]

Doing two batches this weekend.

Fullers ESB Clone and a Blue Moon clone for swmbo.

First all grains of the year, breaking in the new Mashtun.

 

[Oter]

Brewing my Asha'man Ale this Saturday afternoon. It's my Belgian Black recipe.

 

[Piratwolf]

Going with 6gal each of a Robust Porter (coffee & vanilla in the secondary, i think) and Cuffs & Collar Blonde (split into 2 fermenters, one with Kolsch yeast and the other with Cal Ale V). My Pale Mild seems to be wrapping up, so I'll move it to the 70F closet to warm up and finish for a week.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Brewing a belgian strong ale. It's going to be my biggest brew yet and first time using a starter. I interested to see if a starter makes a big difference in the beer.

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

'Bout to whip up a batch of Midwest's Honey Weizen (extract) for our summer drinking pleasure. AG house ESB's on deck for tomorrow! :rockin:

 

[duckredbeard]

SWMBO liked my APA so much that she wants me to do it again! Expecting efficiency to be better this time, but not reducing the grain bill. It will just have to be a bigger beer this time. Oops!

 

[neosapien]

Isn't that what the weekend is for????? I have a pale/amber to bottle and am going to whip up a copper ale clone. And probably dip into my remaining stash of Fistful of Simcoe IIPA.

 

[Stauffbier]

Both sound good to me!

This Memorial weekend is all about party-gyle for me!
First runnings will be a spin on Warsteiner Dunkel with 2 row as the base and ale yeast instead of lager, and second runnings will be an amber(ish) ale that I'll toss a little Maris Otter into to raise the OG a tad bit and gain a bit of biscuit flavor..

 

[mux]

English IPA, first time building my brewing water.

 

[chuckstout]

Hop fully a double cream style ale!

 

[bjl110]

I'm brewing a hoppy blond this weekend. I'd like any critiques if you wouldn't mind! https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/hoppy-blond-thoughts-330919/

Cheers!

Think im going with a Honey ale. 1# for a 1.6 gal batch. Based on midwest supplies Honey Ale.Probably doing last minute addition with it.Heating it to 90 or so with water after primary sounds tempting but ill stick with a late additon i think.May as well prime with honey as well.

Did you ever make a coconut brew? My coconut brown is just coming around in the bottle, and it has a great coconut backnote to it! ABV was higher than I expected, and I think the coconut would benefit from a lower ABV. I'm going to try again with a smaller grain bill. I'm thinking the sugar in the coconut contributed more than I expected it would...

 

[Beer-lord]

Got a good amount of Simcoe so I may do a small test brew on Monday.
Wish it weren't so damn hot!

I was going to brew Ruby Ale (raspberry wheat) but the water pump on the jeep went out. I am going to fix that. Starting early tomorrow. I did just whip up a batch of Ed Wort's Apfelwein. Maybe if I finish early with the jeep I'll do this.

Ive used coconut palm sugar before-which tastes great.

In case you dont know (i didnt) i takes a while to grow yeast from the bottle. I wanted to harvest from bottle of orval and after 24h on the stir plate (150ml of wort) i posted worrying thread, after number of ppl told me to wait i did so and i had clear growth around 60h, now my saison is almost a week in primary and i cant wait to try it

 

[Jsuds]

Falconers Flight IPA with WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast. Yah-yer!

 

[troyp42]

I hope to brew a 19 litre batch of Irish Red Ale on Sunday and bottle my 17 litres of Smoked Choc porter which is currently Cold Conditioning at 1C in the fridge.

Will be my second batch on my new herms system.

 

[ScottMathsonPro]

10 lbs of golden light malt
1 oz. of Mt Hoods for boiling
Another 1/2 oz. of Mt Hood after 30 minute boil
Finally 1 oz. of Czech Saaz for final 15 minutes.

 

[blkandrust]

Just mashed out my Loose Cannon clone. Gotta love an early brewday!

 

[CajunJay]

Considering giving Edwort's Haus Ale a shot. It is hot outside but we can get cool in the pool while we mash ... heh heh
