I'm probably not brewing this coming weekend, so instead I have nice Oatmeal Stout to brew tonight when I get home from work. The hope is to get this brewed tonight, ferment until 11/5...11/7 and then bottle. If I'm lucky I'll be able to have this ready for Christmas. That way I will be able to serve it in conjunction with my Wiehnachtsgeist (my Christmas Spiced beer).
 
Brewing a Standard All-Grain Wheat beer this weekend which will be split into 3 seperate brews.

1. 3 gallons Blueberry Wheat for SWMBO
2. 1 gallon Medium Heat Jalapeno Wheat (1 jalapeno)
3. 1 gallon eXtreme Heat Jalapeno Wheat :) (3 Jalapeno)
 
Past weekend was a bust. I did manage to get my ingredients and water all prepared. I cut some steel for the burner stand, but now I have a new design in my head. Hopefully I will have that done tonight and be ready for Thursday, my next scheduled attempt.
 
Gonna be brewing this Friday morning, a celebration ale clone. I'll be getting things ready Thursday evening!
 
Im doing 2 batches on saturday, my house red and maybe a nice nut brown kinda ale for thanksgiving?? Something SN Tumbler-ish...

You gonna do the sierra nevada celebration? I found a recipe that is pretty close, but i think its better than the original!
 
I did a black Butte clone last weekend, I'm doing a pumpkin beer experiment next weekend ( never been crazy about those styles but it's for the holidays ).
Doing a honey ale the next weekend and I'm going to try making some of it into a chili beer.
 
Gonna try my first partigyle brew: Old Ale for aging on French oak (medium toast), then Pale Ale. To make this happen, I'm mashing the Old Ale's crystal & Special B with 2# of 2-row in a separate mash tun :)
 
I am off this week and next, so I will be brewing a bunch. A friend asked me to show him the ropes of homebrew . . . made my day! Of course, for his first brew, he wanted to go complicated. He shows me a recipe for a "Strawberry Wit" of sorts, which is not all bad, but seems rather vague about specifics in the ingredients. Either way, it calls for 4 lbs. wheat extract, 2 lb. flaked oats, 1 lb. candy sugar, 2 lbs. wheat malt, 1 oz of bittering hops, 1 oz of flavoring hops, 8 oz. strawberry flavoring extract and some yeast. Yes, that is as specific as it gets . . . Seeing how the local supply store is not as big on brewing as the big store in town, we changed it up a little.

3.3 lbs canned Munton's wheat extract
2 lbs. flaked oats
3 lbs. dried wheat malt
1 lb. candy sugar
1 oz. Cascade hops for 60
1 oz. Cascade hops for 10
8 oz. Strawberry NF extract just before bottling

Of course, we get back to the house to find I have run out of Ale Yeast . . . for shame!! Looks like another stop at Valley Winery & Brew Supply today to restock on Ale Yeast. Other than that, "The Boss" has asked for a Bud Light clone, or something light . . . best to keep "The Boss" happy, nobody likes it when she isn't happy ;) And the last brew in the plans so far is a Chai Stout. I am not sure why I want this, it just sounded interesting. I am quite sure I will find more to brew, the requests from friends always pile on, but I usually only consider the ones that are willing to buy ingredients . . . probably going to cook up a Heidelbeere Weizen before I go back to work or the Caramel Apple Honey Mead I found on the forum . . . apologies for not knowing whose recipe it was, but it totally rocked, will have to look for that again.
 
Mashing a Belgian Tripel right now and will use my new Speidel fermenter. I hope to be drinking this on Thanksgiving.
 
Brewing the first of my winter lineup, Schwarzbier. I typically do a German lager, an American Ale, and a session from the British Isles for each season. Getting started a bit late, but it'll be ready in January.
 
I will be brewing a Wee Heavy/Scotch Ale on Sat or Sunday. Can't wait to boil off that first 1.5 gallons down to a sticky sweet syrup elixer.
 
Planning on brewing:

10 Gallons - Jamil's Evil Twin IPA
5 Gallons - Bavarian Banana Hefeweizen
5 Gallons - Dead Ringer Ale
 
i'm making an IPA with some new fangeled HBC-342 hops

Experimental Hop HBC 342
0.5 lb carapils
1 lb aromatic malt
0.5 lb crystal 60

6 lb pilsner LME, 60 min
1 lb corn sugar, 20 min

1 oz HBC 60 min
1 oz HBC 30 min
2 oz HBC 5 min
2 oz HBC dry hopped

Safeale 05

any suggestions? maybe up the C-60 to 0.75 lb? more efficient hop schedule?
 
I am hoping to brew a darkness clone on Sunday. I have a starter of wlp007 (Surly's house yeast) going on the stir plate that I stepped up from 1 liter to now 2 liters.
