Sometime later on the week (+/- Thursday according to my LHBS), a wet hop Imperial Red with 100% Citra (bittering and dry hopping with pellets, the rest wet hops). Then thus weekend a friend and I are doing an all-grain version of the White House Honey Ale.
 
Saturday I brewed a pumpkin ale based on dark and wheat malt extract. Hopped it with US goldings, and put a spoonful of pumpkin pie spice in at the end. Yesterday was an attempt at making Kreik with extracts and safale-04 versus lambic yeast. Next brew will be a chocolate cherry porter of a partial mash build.
 
Bottling pumpkin ale Monday! Any ideas for a thanksgiving brew that will fit well turkey dinner? I need ideas quick so I can brew and be sure it will be ready for its unveiling.

How's it a kreik without lambic yeast?
 
I'm trying for the style... I had a brewferm kit two years ago that had dry yeast in it, so it's a close as I can get at the moment without ordering seperate yeast from NB or other brew supply.
 
Finally going to brew that IPA I've been wanting to brew the last few weeks. I'm shooting for an IPA that's a touch sweeter than your typical commercial.

Pretty much doing the same. I wouldn't normally brew on a Tuesday, but I got some fresh hops and I'm going to try a wet-hopped harvest IPA! Let's hope the hops are still good after 2 days.
 
I just started a beer that will be a Specialty/Wood-aged beer when all is said and done.

I used something new I found - HICKORY syrup. I've seen a ton of Maple syrup added beers, but thought the Hickory would be a nice , nice change. The hope was to find some hickory wood to add...but at this stage all I have are a few different light and medium toasted OAK. Was hoping for Hickory rather than Oak. Oh well.

Starting OG was 1.063. Happy with that.
 
I think I will get a chance to brew my Altbier either Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. I've only made it once before but it was one of my best. I really want to get it in the fermenter since I can't keg anymore. I'd love to be drinking this in a month, but looks like it'll be closer to the beginning of November.

If you just brewed it, you have 3-4 weeks, go and find some Hickory to throw in the secondary!
 
Wife and I are brewing our IPA and possibly (hopefully) finally our Christmas Barleywine. OG 1.116 before adding the pumpkin pie filling!
 
I need to bottle more before I brew again. That and get friends to come over and drink more now that I have quite a variety. I don't drink enough to brew so often :tank: so I'm using my budgeted funds to get some new gear and supplies.
 
I'm brewing an AG version of one of the White House beers this weekend...was supposed to make my starter tonight, but could not...must do so tomorrow or in the morning before work!

The Barleywine sounds interesting, snaps10!
 
I racked my pumpkin ale to secondary, beer is really cloudy but getting better. I had 5" of pumpkin sludge in it that went into the composter. I would have liked to harvest the wlp001 in it but with so much crud in it I wasn't messing with $6 of yeast.

My extract whitehouse honey ale is still bubbling like crazy on day 5.

I brewed a CTZ/cascade IPA today, I was happy I got 83% mash efficiency from the grain, I was even able to get an extra gallon of third runnings for frozen wort starters. Who needs DME when you can nab spare sugar from the spent grain?

SWMBO was none too happy to find a swamp cooler in her walk in closet...I outgrew my beer closet!
 
Brewing an Urca vanilla porter this weekend and getting ready to keg a hefeweizen and bottle a milk chocolate stout on Wednesday. These are my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th batches.
 
I've got a Pliny the Younger and an India Brown Ale in the basement that are a week into fermenting. Lately I've been kegging after a week and then depending on the style, drinking 1-2 or more weeks later.

I've got a recipe for a "Belgian Trippel" I want to do this weekend, but can't decide if I should give the brews in the basement another week or go ahead and transfer and let them age/carb and brew the Trippel. I put the first one in quotes because it's all German Pilsner and I'm hopping it like an AIPA. Had one of those recently and loved it.

I'm thinking I need to do 2 weeks for the ones in the basement and just live with it. Sigh. I'm so anxious to get to Kyle the Younger.
 
Brewed a westy 12 clone and a dead guy clone with a freind today. Very busy brew day. It was my first time brewing with him, he had a pretty sweet setup and good techniques and tricks. I learned quite a lot. I fly sparged for the first time and then applied it to my mash tun. I havent run thd efficiency numbers yet but it was a cool experience.
