So who's brewing this weekend?

[unionrdr]

Bottled my 2nd pm pale ale yesterday. Got 51 bottles instead of the usual 47-48. May just try to rebrew this one,being a happy accident that found a place to happen.

What's with the plastic bag?

Inexpensive airlock. It also holds the wort in when I set the bottle on it's side and roll it back and forth for aeration.

Do you have any issues with boil over with a pot that full?

No. I use fermcap and do a gentle boil to start with.

Brew day with my girls, love that instead of purses she shops for plate chillers... Modifications on a sumpin sumpin clone

 

[Shred]

I have an Irish Mocha Stout wort cooling before pitching right now!

 

[periwinkle1239]

Made a Bell's Expedition Stout clone today. It's cooling right now, according to the refractometer I missed my target 1.110 gravity, only reached 1.100. Oh well

Will be pitching on a yeast cake of Bell's yeast from a 2-hearted ale I made 3 weeks ago.

 

[mjdonnelly68]

Batching up a Sierra Nevada clone

 

[JoseLima]

I brewed two this weekend One a Weiss Bier 1.048 and I also went for an American Brown Ale 1.055.

 

[dustinjkline]

Going to try my first all-grain biab this weekend. 3 gallon IPA

 

[jflongo]

Going to try my first all-grain biab this weekend. 3 gallon IPA

I will be trying my first all-grain biab as well this weekend. Either a Irish Red Ale or Centennial Blonde Ale, whichever one is cheaper when I go to the grain store tomorrow. Also if I can find room

I have a Irish Stout in it's secondary phase in a carboy, and a Bucket of Pino Grisio still fermenting in a bucket right now, which I will be transfering to a carboy this week. I need a place to put a 3rd bucket this weekend.

 

[jonmohno]

Think Im doing a 2.5 gal BIAB Pliny finally. Between a 10# bag of base malt I should be able to make a Ranger clone following that next also. Sugar is cheap and good in particularly good beers like these.
This will be my very first kegged beer I think,am getting a 3 gallon keg.

 

[Xpertskir]

Hopefully me. Our new townhouse is supposed to close Thursday, and we have the movers coming that morning. I plan to get a starter going that day, and brew on Saturday, more likely Sunday.


Been a while since Ive brewed in anticipation of the move and I am antsy

 

[cmhblake]

Either this friday after work or saturday morning I'll be brewing a 10 gallon batch of porter to split into 5 gallons vanilla porter, 5 gallons coconut porter.

 

[cjsturch]

Shopping at the homebrew store Saturday morning, then brewing Saturday and Sunday. Brewing an IPA on one of those day, and still debating on what to do for the other day. Possibly a lambic. Never tried to brew a lambic before, and it's always good to try something new.

 

[Piratwolf]

Belgian Tripel for NHC, and a redux of the CAP I've been working on with a brewing buddy.

 

[Upthewazzu]

I'll be bottling my amber ale and then starting a Cologne Kolsch extract kit on Sunday or Monday (MLK Holiday, we get the day off!).

 

[jflongo]

I just bought all of my grain and hops, so will be doing it this week, or this weekend, to make the Irish Red Ale

 

[MindenMan]

I put a 5 gallon batch of American Amber Ale in the fermenter today. I wanted to use up bits and pieces of various grains I had sitting around.
I have six cases of beer I have to wait to drink Oh well, at least everything won't be be green at the same time.

 

[509inc]

The time has come to brew a Lager. Debating between a Optimator or Celebrator clone.

 

[chornbuc]

Brewing a Dogfish Head 60 minute clone in anticipation of it becoming my first beer on tap for my kegerator. That, of course, requires me to complete the construction of said kegerator.

 

[BarefootFriar]

I'm kind of thinking about doing (my first!) brew day on Thursday. My fiancée will be here that day, so I can make her help. An extra set of hands will be good, I think. However, it's supposed to be cold and rainy, so I may wait until next weekend.

 

[tracyk]

Brewing up a Honey Cream Ale this weekend. Need to use up some Cal V yeast that is about to expire. Looks to be a great weekend here. Highs in the low 70's!

 

[dpatrickv]

I'll be brewing this - http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/30934/leftover-belgian-hop-bomb tonight. I had some leftover grains/hops from some of my random LHBS trips so I decided to try and make something out of it.

And yes....I do like hops.

 

[Ostomo517]

No need to wait for the weekend, brewing now! Shorts Bloody Beer clone.

 

[mgr_stl]

Bottling my first brew (sierra nevada pale ale clone) and brewing the brewers best psa ipa. Gotta love 3-day weekends!

If I boil 5.5 gallons for a 5 gallon batch (and then top off if needed) how greatly will that increase the intended recipe IBUs if the recipe calls for only a 2.5 gallon boil (followed by adding 2.5 more post boil) ?
