So who's brewing this weekend?

[CBXBob]

5 gal BrewcraftUSA's kit of Rogue's Brutal IPA, DME + steeping grains + 4 oz. of hops (dry hoping 1 oz. Crystal).

 

[tennesseean_87]

In the next few days I hope to bottle my Hefeweizen and make a starter for a rye Saison I will hopefully brew around midweek.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Me. Doing a Dubbel, then a Belgian Blonde that once done I'll rack on top of strawberries.

 

[Beer-lord]

Going to try a test batch of Arrogant Bastard (2.5 gallons) as I've seen so many recipes. I have a few mini kegs empty so this will work out fine.
I've not used 04 yeast in a year so I'm hopeful that will be ok for this one.

 

[Geordan]

Saturday's IPA day! Got a whole whack of Amarillo sitting in the fridge itching to get used! :rockin:

 

[brewmastercontrols]

I am brewing this as I post! Just finished the 122 rest, headed for 153.

[Spraentart]

I'm going to be ambitious this weekend.. bottling and brewing!

 

[MaddBaggins]

Gonna do a Kolsch all grain tomorrow night.

 

[freemanmh]

I'm bottling my 2.5gal batch of blonde ale on Sunday most likely (was really tempted to do it tonight, but decided to give it a few more days). Once that 3 gallon BB gets cleaned up, I'll probably do a small BIAB batch of either a cream ale or a mild English brown Sunday evening. IF my Shining Star kit is done I may get it bottled too, in which case I'll pick an evening next week to brew up the Phat Tyre kit I got from NB last week.

 

[MisterTipsy]

MisterTipsy's Fruits of the Forest Ale gets brewed this weekend.

 

[cigarsmoker75]

I'm planning on a chocolate stout...

 

[spacecowboy13]

Brewing an IPA now

 

[DankHead]

Brewing a pretty big robust porter. Similar to the founders clone, but with a little bit of my own style added in there.

 

[phenry]

Got the first step up of 3711 on the stir plate right now for a Saison on Sunday, and as soon as the LHBS opens up I'm heading that way to pick up a pack of 1968 for an Ordinary Bitter I'm brewing tomorrow.

Still debating if I want to go with Saaz/EKG or Simcoe/Cascade for the Saison. Or for that matter, if I should go with EKG or Cascade for the Bitter (for anyone that's had Dark Star's HopHead, it's pretty evident how great Cascade can be in a cask Bitter).

 

[schmidty65]

I'm going to try and get to a batch of Saison this weekend (to replace the keg of it we just drained at my party last weekend), and possibly a Bavarian Dunkel (if it doesn't get too hot by that time--of course, I could just set the kettle in the sun and probably get a boil, too).

 

[duckredbeard]

Still a go for Saturday's back to back SMaSHes. One with columbus, one with Willamette. Both with Maris Otter.

 

[wowbeeryum]

brewing up a hoppy wheat with amarillo and citra, using kolsch yeast. sounds delish.

 

[MaltnHops]

Mashed in at 7:15 am trying to get done before it gets too hot today. Supposed to hit 100 here today. About to start my sparge on 10 gallons of my Last Chance Light Ale soon. I'm hoping to be done and cleaned up before it gets to 90.

 

[KingKlong]

Doing a partial mash, breakfast stout tonight. Probably start around 7 or 8 eastern time. It will be my first partial mash. Before now I've steeped only a pound or so of specialty grains. Gonna do 9 lbs tonight. Pretty excited.

 

[DankHead]

Just mashed in on a pretty big robust porter. 15 lbs grain bill for 5 gallons. I should have started earlier but I couldn't get my lazy ass out of bed before 9 am. Oh well, hit my mash temp and it smells amazing in my garage.

 

[cclloyd]

Bottling 11 gallons of English Mild tonight.

 

[Yankeehillbrewer]

I plan on brewing an all Columbus IPA on Sunday

 

[Fathand]

Bottling 10 gallons on BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde and moving 10 gallons of a Cherry Wheat to 2ndary.

 

[duckredbeard]

I plan on brewing an all Columbus IPA on Sunday

Love Columbus. I've seen that it is either love or hate that one. Not sure what turned me on to it. When I was pro, I would pull a carboy of our regular pale after crash and dry hop it with columbus. Though the dry hop was the only deviation, you couldn't convince others that it wad the same basic ale.

[DSochBrewing]

bottling my 5 gallons of pumpkin ale !!! i need to start kegging, so i can force carbonate and enjoy this week a week later instead of 4 weeks later !!

 

[DankHead]

Cooled, pitched yeast, and in the closet. My hydrometer fell off my table and broke so I couldnt get any readings. Cant wait to get this in a keg though, it smelled amazing.

 

[btgold29]

Im brewing 12 gallons of a Bitburger clone. This will be my first Lager/pilsner. I plan on using my new 15.5 gallon fermenter (see build) https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/my-sankey-fermenter-build-340162/

I then plan on using this yeast cake for 12 gallons of Oktoberfest in about three weeks. I know its late in the year for an O fest, but is there really a wrong time to drink one... I didn't think so.

 

[Bersquack]

I'm brewing 10 gallon of a Stone 15th Black IPA clone this weekend. Got the recipe on this awesome website of course!

 

[Obeesbrew]

A friend of mine and I just started brewing and we have the mr. Beer kit. ( I know it's lame) we plan on making some Mexican cerveza this weekend. Saving up to get a large brew setup.

 

[Whippy]

Good luck, Obeesbrew!! Congratulations on the new start There is nothing "lame" about brewing, no matter WHAT method you use!

 

[Whippy]

A fresh new batch of Regiment von Ditfurth Dunkelweizen is mashing right now!! This is my revised recipe while I strive for "perfection."

5# wheat
3# munich
3oz roasted barley
2oz chocolate
13 IBUs Spalt Select
WLP300 pitched straight from the vial....no time for a starter.

Mash temp is 153F

 

[akwater]

Tell us about that oatmeal stout recipe!

It's a kit extraction :-( from Midwest brewing. Not quite up to all grain yet.... By winter I'll be fully committed.

 

[MaddBaggins]

Kolsch, all grain, right now, almost done.

 

[KingKlong]

Just finished my breakfast stout. Came in at 1.080 but only a little over 4 gallons. I gotta get a cooler mash in.

I just finished a Breakfast Stout too, my 2nd all-grain (yesterday was my first). Mine was 1.041, was supposed to be 1.033, though.
