[Hawaiibboy]

Depending on how long it takes me to renew my drivers license tomorrow, looks like I might be brewing up "The Nug", A Nugget single hop IPA.

 

[Clonefan94]

Unfortunately, I'm going to be off for a while. Going to be out of town the next few weekends, plus family coming to visit me on the other weekends, will probably put me out of commission for at least a Month. I did put some time in though, over the last 6 weeks I have brewed 4 times to get the pipeline back in shape. .

 

[Qhrumphf]

With a higher than expected volume/lower than expected OG I may end up not needing it, but I've got some WLP099 Super High Gravity waiting to polish up my English Barleywine. Will check the gravity maybe Thursday or Friday, and if necessary make a big starter of it Friday or Saturday.

[Sudsy426]

Brewing a pumpkin ale Saturday

 

[PJoyce85]

Brewing right now. 96 degrees outside is too warm for brewing but you gotta do what you gotta do!

 

[Genuine]

I forgot to order some ingredients earlier in the week so I would have something to brew today. Next weekend I'll need to brew my pumpkin ale so come September/october it'll be ready to enjoy! This weekend I'll clean out the keg and kegerator to keg an Amber Ale

 

[Beer-lord]

I'm hoping to get to brew Stone Sublimely Self Righteous this Sunday.

 

[bboyeruga]

I'm brewing 5 gal classic Marzen and 5 gal Sam Adams Oktoberfest clones to have a taste off. Going to be a busy Saturday.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Going to brew a simple SMaSH. 2-Row and Cascade. Also going to be my first wet hop ale. Going to pick the first year cascades i have in my back yard and throw them all in!! cant wait

 

[firerat]

I finally get to brew my Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout clone.

I hope these grain aren't stale.

 

[gavball6]

Gonna brew Radical Brewing's Spiced Cherry Dubbel as part of the 2013 12 Beers of Christmas thread on Saturday so it can have plenty of fun sitting on the cherries for a while!

[carlk47]

Now that my new electric kettle is up and running, I'm brewing a 2.75 gal batch of Blacklab's Cascade Orange Pale Ale!

 

[JonM]

I hope so. Hoping to get a chance to brew the latest tweak of my ever-evolving IPA recipe. It's basically a two-hearted clone with a mix of Citra, Centennial, and Simcoe instead of just Centennial. Trying it with 1272 this time.

Not brewing anything this weekend, as I have 27 gallons currently in the pipeline:
5gal Helles bottle conditioning
3gal Christmas ale bulk aging
In primary from brew session 2 weeks ago:
5gal Marzen
5gal Hoppy Amber
5gal Indian Brown
4gal Irish Red

I'm going to a family reunion in southern Vermont for a week, leaving tomorrow. I'm bringing 4 cases of bottled brews for sharing, and hope to collect several more cases of bottles so I can empty my clogged pipeline.

2 sixers each of:
Maibock
Dry Stout
Zombie Killer Clone (cherry cider)
Best Bitter

Plus 2 more cases of various brews, including:
Lemon Pepper Rye Saison
Spruce tip Pale Ale
Chipotle Chocolate Robust Porter
Vienna Ale
Dortmunder Export
American-hopped Best Bitter
Cherry Raspberry Melomel (after 8 months, it is very smooth and extremely potent!)
7 year old mead
2-year-old smoked porter

After I get back I'll be brewing a Classic American Pils and a series of 3 gallon Single Hop APA's - I have half a pound each of Chinook, Cascade, Centennial, CTZ, and Perle, and I want to really learn them, and try blending the finish beers to see what proportions I like.

My grist for those will be:

5lb 2-row
1lb 15L Munich
.5lb C40

 

[unionrdr]

Just ordered &/or bought at lhbs/midwest yesterday enough ingredients for two PM IPA's. Another Batch of my Maori IPA (with fresh hops this time),& my new recipe,Cougar Country IPA. Both will use the same malts. But replacing the 3.2oz chocolate malt with 8oz melanoidin malt to get more of the color I was looking for. It's also supposed to intensify the malt character.
The hops will be the same for the NZ-hopped Maori,but a new combo inspired by Latitude 48 & Pliny in the cougar country. Def wasn't cheap to brew 2-5 gallon batches with some 9 hops between 2 ales...

 

[m3n00b]

Not brewing but just went commando in the carboy and dry hopped an IPA with Amarillo, Citra and Colombus. Going to try cold crashing for the first time. Have too many batches going and my ferm chamber is full.

 

[WesleyS]

Def wasn't cheap to brew 2-5 gallon batches with some 9 hops between 2 ales...

Adds up quick doesn't it. Just wait till you brew a DIPA with over 25 lbs of grain and a total of 19oz of hops and a Belgian IPA with 15 lbs of grain and 7oz of hops all in one day.
That was my most expensive brew day I've had so far. I don't make it a habit to do that.

 

[n240sxguy]

My black ipa was my most expensive. Close to 30 lbs of grain and 14 oz of 5 different kind of hops.

 

[Stauffbier]

Today I'm brewing my house IIPA called Dust Devil. I'll be entering it in an upcoming competition at a local beer fest.

 

[mysteryshrimp]

I've signed up for community batch of Flanders Red for the club's 55 gallon barrel. My share is 10 Gallons, must brew tomorrow. My biggest pot is 8 gallons.

Right.

i have a dark cherry lager and a canadian blonde in my kegerator carbing, should be ready in a week (both were 8 days primary 10 days secondary).

Today I was bored and what better thing to do when your bored is to brew something! So I felt like doing something different...after some searches for hard apple cider (I didn't want just plain apple juice cause I don't like wine) I stumbled upon something called Graff. I searched the post some more and thought it was the perfect thing to try. I only added cinnamon and nutmeg ontop of the original recipe (brandon O's graff). Currently in the primary, 5 gallon batch. I'm happy to venture onto the cider side!
