So who's brewing this weekend?

[Butchhe]

Just got done brewing 5 gallons of Boulevard Pale Ale.

 

[Clonefan94]

Brewed a Pale Ale today. Basic recipe, but wanted to try out the Belma hops I had purchased. I figured a pale ale would be a good way to get an idea of what these hops are all about.

Great brew day today. Did my honeydo list yesterday, so I had all day to take my time and brew.

 

[bretn]

Pilsner base, Saaz-(triple-!)hopped IPA. Should be interesting...or not.

 

[lumpher]

special bitter 1/2 way through boiling. cool and clear outside, a nice 63 degrees. did a lot of work today outside today, so i'm relaxing with an evening brew

 

[Komodo]

Sounds great to me, what yeast?

 

[bretn]

US-05. Want to keep it clean so the Saaz can shine through. I was thinking that if the recipe turns out ok, an interesting experiment would be to try witbier yeast.

I got the idea because I had extra pilsner and wheat malt already ground and mixed as well as extra saaz from a witbier recipe I had to cut in half due to my LHBS being short on flaked wheat. If it turns out ok I'll make sure to post the recipe and notes.

After a couple of forced postponement I'm doing a 6 gallon batch of my "Devils Sidekick" dark lager (s-23 yeast)

Use the same exact recipe and chuck in WLP 550 and you'll have a monster.

Just put a St. Paul porter in the primary yesterday! After a year and a half of no brewing (can't breathe... passing...out....!) I have gotten back on the horse, as it were.

 

[Beerwaukee]

Brewed a Maibock on Saturday during some flurries, hoping the snow gives it an extra umph!

 

[DirtBagRob]

I was planning on brewing yesterday but my ingredients didn't arrive by Friday like I expected so I've pushed it to next Sunday. I haven't brewed since last April due to moving across the country, starting a new job, and working 100 hrs a week since June. This will also be my first all grain batch and the first batch I've bottled in 3 years (I sold my kegerator, kegs, etc. to finance my move last summer)..... I feel just like I did the first time I brewed about 7 years ago, very excited and pretty nervous as well. I'm making a really simple American pale ale with falconer's flight and millennium hops (Millennium Falcon PA). I hope this is the beginning of making 200 gallons (since, you know, that's the most we're allowed to make )per year again like I used to......

 

[abledsoe]

Planning to brew BierMuncher's Centinnial Blonde this Saturday. Can't wait!

 

[jmacker]

Planning on brewing my first lager on Saturday.

 

[renderman]

Brewing a new recipe on Sunday ... a French Saison ... Well since its not true to form it'll be more of a French Farmhouse Ale .. I'm quite excited for this one!

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

Finally gonna take the plunge and brew my first sour on Sunday, a Flemish red. Also going to have another HBTer over to show him how to do an AG batch.

Good luck with that sour - I know you've been doing a lot of research.

 

[huhwha]

The forecast still looks cold, but I need to brew some more Caribou Slobber.

 

[unclephilly]

Odd...I plan on drinking two batches! Or at least trying to drink two batches!!

(Going to be a good weekend!)

 

[ck1950]

Well it's going to be 32F for a high this weekend and I am tired of being in the house.... So it's going to be a brewing weekend! Kiwi IPA, Pale Ale and a Jalapeño Cream Ale.

The kiwi IPA and the jalapeño Cream ale definitely sound interesting ... In a good way

Brewed this one a couple months ago, very good beer!

 

[Jbird]

I'm brewing a nut brown on Friday. Should amazing!

 

[Piratwolf]

Decided on first Saison of the season--gonna drop 1oz of Calypso at whirlpool to try out this new hop and pitch a combo 3711/530 yeast I pulled from a Tripel (3711 to finish, but I left original yeast in to see what the mix will do).

That sounds like a good combo, i was thinkin of using the belgian saison I had and finishing with the 530. Also giving it a solid flameout and dry hopping

I'm brewing my first ever recipe up top any pointers would be cool

For me, the main thing is to mash fairly low. Usually I go about 148. Helps to get that dry finish.

 

[govner1]

Unfortunately, not me. The pipeline is FULL!!

 

[bigelowsbest]

Did an oatmeal stout today, absolutely crushed it on efficiency, recipe called for 1.052 OG and ended up at 1.062 with the same volume! Got to use my shiny new stir plate with a kölsh yeast starter the brewmaster at work hooked me up with (working at a brewpub is great) He said to me "this should make a fine stout" and I was searching for a name to give this new recipe, I decided "a fine stout" was appropriate =)

 

[fatnoah]

Going for my second all-grain BIAB beer this Saturday. It's going to be an APA loosely based on the one with crystal in BCS. Looking for some nice hop flavor and aroma upfront and a nice balance between the malt and bitterness on the back end. It's my first APA too so I think I'll try the classic centennial and cascade combo.

 

[olz431]

I'm brewing the number 8 this weekend, since Belgians were the reason I started homebrewing.... Now that I have my technique down, I can wait a while for a beer to finish, since I will be bottling a batch every week and running out just when tge next batch will be ready.
