[BrewingChemist]

brewing a 10 gallon batch of cream ale - made in the true cream ale fashion of a lager yeast fermented at 60F. looking forward to finally having enough of it to keep it on tap - everytime we have brewed 5 gallons its gone in no time flat!!

 

[tdogg]

Hopefully ill have time to brew tomorrow evening. If so, ill be doing a smash beer with canadian "superior" pale malt and "wakatu" ( aka new zealand hallertau).

 

[duckredbeard]

Damn damn damn. My double brew day may turn into a drive to score a great deal on 3 desperately needed cornies.

Maybe it can be a drive and a single brew.

 

[Pilgarlic]

Dubbel.

 

[capulinflicker]

Brewing up an all Citra pale ale this weekend as part of a homebrew club experiment. Everyone's using the same recipe, but we all chose one different hop so we can compare the differences between different strains.

 

[Arbor413]

Going to attempt to "Pumpkinize" a Brown Porter.

 

[FullDraw]

Saison Sunday

 

[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.
