So who's brewing this weekend?

[mttaylor1066]

Green Flash IPA clone with Simcoe bittering, Simcoe flavoring and Simcoe/Cascade dry hopping.

Used my new toys: a banjo burner, 8 gal Polarware brew pot, a stir plate and a wort oxygenator wand. Had a great deal of fun... as soon as I learned to regulate the O2 properly on the banjo burner!

Reducing 3 quarts of first runnings to a caramel with 1 lb of lactose for our creme brulee stout try

 

[duckmanco]

HBT member Bob's extract session mild will be on the boil later this AM. I haven't done a stove top extract brew in what feels like forever.

I haven't even so much as tasted a mild before, but an easy to session brownish ale sounds really nice for the coming fall. And if this style is as enjoyable as the other British ales I've been into lately, then it will be a staple around here.

 

[Beer-lord]

Going to do the NB Tallgrass Oasis all grain kit. Been having it for a few weeks and am ready to get it done. Planning on early Friday morning.

 

[starrfish]

ordering my nut brown ale ingredients for a camp out in october, today... brewing sunday.

Brewed a double batch this past Friday, first double in quite a while:
- Smoked Pumpkin Spice Ale (Pumpkin Spice recipe with some smoked malt)
- Columbus Day IPA (Mostly Columbus Hops with a touch of Cascade)..hope it's ready for Columbus day.

I'm brewing Baddest Amba Jamma this weekend. It's Badder Amba Jamma cranked up to an Imperial Red. I'll also be racking and topping off a cider.

 

[nukebrewer]

I've seriously got the busiest beer weekend I've ever had this weekend. Bottling my imperial sweet stout and my pumpkin ale. Brewing a blonde for the wedding I'm going to in October and brewing KeyWestBrewing's Badfish IIPA. I'm not sure in which order all of this will happen, but it will all get done assuming the hops get here by Friday for the Badfish. Damn KWB had to use all hop varieties I don't have, one of which being Citra which was pretty hard to track down.

 

[cwschupp]

Gearing up for a home brew Oktoberfest (not all German style beers, but who's complaining) for last weekend in October. Brewed a Belgian IPA last night and going to do a dead guy clone this weekend. Thats roughly about 5 weeks from kettle to keg tap, should be enough time to mellow with 2 weeks in the keg, right?

 

[29thfloor]

Trying to decide between a pumpkin porter, berliner weisse or a lime basil saison. I'm gonna be doing all three eventually but I'm not sure what's on the schedule for this weekend yet.

 

[watersr]

I'd say it has to be the porter. The saison sounds fantastic but more of a light, warm weather kind of beer. Can't go wrong with a pumpkin porter in the fall.

 

[Matt3989]

Time to bottle my first beer ever, a robust porter, followed by brewing cheese's vanilla caramel cream ale. Then I've got to recruit some friends to help me drink 50 more bottles so i can bottle my Boston ale next weekend.

I would brew the pumpkin first so you have it for Halloween, then

 

[Hartski]

Bottling my American Light ale this week and will brew a cream ale this weekend. Might try a batch of cider, too

 

[bluedog_Brewing]

Making 10 gallons of pale ale with Columbus and Cascade this weekend and a bunch of dog biscuits with the leftover grain!!

 

[copyright1997]

So, what IPA should I brew next? I've done Mrbowenz English style, Victory Hop Devil, Sierra Nevada Celebration, LakeFront IPA, Bells Two Hearted, Ballast Point Sculpin IPA, Enhocs IPA, a Columbus day IPA (mostly with Columbus hops) and probably a few more I can't remember.

I tend to like a medium amount of bitterness (for an IPA) with a nice in your face hop aroma. Any other favorites out there or do a re-do? I'm so wishy washy today.

 

[bluedog_Brewing]

I love Green Flash West Coast IPA, CYBI did it a while back and the recipe is on here somewhere. I make 8 gal of it a few weeks back and just bottled it, tasted great!

Thanks, here it is I think: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/green-flash-west-coast-ipa-jamil-show-171700/. I've been looking at this one (don't get it here in the waste lands of NY). About 7.5 ounces of Hops for 6 gallons, wow. The only thing I don't like is that this will eat into my precious stockpile of Simcoe and Amarillo. (I've got bunches of Columbus and about 10 POUNDS of cascade , so I can use them like they were water.)

Thanks for the suggestion!

 

[ZombieWoof72]

Northern Brewers Black IPA in the AM. 0_o

 

[cdeme123]

Getting my ingredients together for brewing a pumpkin spice ale on Saturday. Recipe is based on one I found in "Brewing Classic Styles."

 

[cdeme123]

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.

For me, traditional turkey dinner calls for a more balanced beer. A brown or mellow pale work for me. The pumkin spice also works for a lot other foods we eat around the holidays.

 

[mjdonnelly68]

Brewing up a Vanilla Porter on Sunday!

Yea thats the same recipe I used, except I added 1/2 lb of Special B for an 8 gal batch for a little more color and caramel flavor.

 

[Soup4you2]

Brewing the White House honey ale on Sunday, along with a honey/orange mead. Moving one of the IPA's to cold crashing tonight so hopefully i can bottle that up while waiting on the water to boil.

 

[free2scour]

Brewing an American Wheat on Saturday and a 2x IPA on Sunday.........can't wait!!

 

[shoreman]

Oktoberalefest - kinda late but I had a very busy aug/sept

Try it on pork!

#1 was Mr. Beer kit a couple of years ago. Sparked my interest (as it seems from reading the threads Mr. Beer did the same for a lot of people)

First time with "big-boy" equipment this weekend, going with Northern Brewer IRISH RED ALE

Sorry I can not quote all the specifics yet, but I will do my best.

OG: 1.040
Danstar Nottingham Yeast

 

[Krovitz]

My first double brew weekend! Red ale tomorrow, pumpkin ale on Sunday. And yes I know I'm starting my pumpkin late.

I want to do a pumpkin ale still

I will drink it late. Doesn't matter to me. Delicious any time!

 

[Beer-lord]

Just finished brewing Tallgrass Oasis. OG right where it should be even though I did an extra 1/2 gallon. Can't wait. I really like the hop additions and the 20 minute stand at the end. The 1450 yeast starter should kick in soon.
Next up, either another Two Hearted or Hop Head IPA. Hey, fall is here, what else should you be doing besides homebrewing and football?
