So who's brewing this weekend?

Tomorrow: Maris Otter Citra Amarillo IPA on the stovetop while watching NFL football and my Saison and Hickory Black IPA on tap? Yup, don't mind if I do. Class starts Monday (I teach) so time to get my kicks in.

I'm brewing a Vienna Simcoe smash right now. It's my first foil boil (my kitchen stove can do it!!!) and second all grain. It's also my first time using FWH and hop bursting. I'm ridiculously excited about this beer!

Just started the boil on my Flanders Red, first bottles ready to drink in early 2014

[VegasJ]

Brewed last night. My 1st lager - a LHBS extract kit. Dopplebock.

My 1st requiring a start yeast also which I got going on Thursday...

I was worried when reading their instructions about the primary needing 50-55 degree temps for fermentation... until I put a thermometer in my basement closet back in the corner... 54 degrees!!


smelled.awesome.

Congrats - I've got my first lager mashing right now! Just keep an eye on your temps since we're supposed to get a warm-up later this week (at least in Eastern PA - not sure if you're going to see it.)

Did get the first lager under my belt today. Went pretty well other than not paying enough attention during my top-off. Overshot the water and ended up 1.061 and should have been 1.065. Could've been worse, I suppose, but still...

Doing my favorite black IPA today....Men in Black IPA. The kitchen is smelling good and the grain is about to be used for some bread.
Raining outside and chilly. The perfect day to stay in and brew whatever you like if you live in my area.

thx!

I should be good... later this week it'll be ready to be taken out of the 50-55, instructions say let it sit at 70 for 2-3 days before going into a secondary @ high 30s to low 40s. I'm hoping by the time our warmup hits it is ready for the 30s-40s. I can keg it and put it in the keezer which is kept around 38 for the secondary. Force carb later this month.

 

[Cincy17]

Brewing a Southern Tier Creme Brûlée Stout clone tonight and a Belgian pale ale this weekend. Both to enter in my first homebrew competition in February.
