Will be brewing one on Sunday, with my first attempt at pH and water control (other than using only store bought drinking water).

[C38368]

Brewed my second formulation of Little Lion IPA earlier this week. All grain, with a brand new hop profile: Centennial to bitter, flavor and aroma from Cascade and Willamette, and a Simcoe hop stand. Planning to dry hop with more Simcoe in about ten days.

Only got about 3.5 gallons out of 7.5 gallons water to start with, though. Also learned the hard way to stop putting whole cone hops in the boil without some kind of screen on the output

 

[benco]

Brewing NB dead ringer ipa with my new blinchman buner. All grain double crush biab. I love this beer! Plan on buying in bulk and making my own recipes.

 

[Ethan19993]

Brewing a "Royal IPA" from my local home brewer shop! It's a clone/tribute to the beer that was brewed for the royal wedding a few years back! 3 hop additions (British hops) and I'm using the California Ale Yeast WLP001 since it can handle the 74-79 degree fermenting temps I'm dealing with here in Florida. Beer brewing and Football!

 

[Hello]

nice. Did you add the BS to the boil?


I'll be doing a pumpkin after I clean up from doing yard work and go buy another storage tub. Excited to get that pumpkin fermenting. My fat tire clone has been in for nearly a week and I'm rocking the temperature control (unlike last time).

 

[Trail]

I wanted to brew this weekend, but my bitter is cold crashing and hasn't clarified yet. Stupid tiny fridge.

 

[causeimthesquid]

Brewing an American pale ale with homegrown hops I harvested 2 weeks ago.

5 lbs Maris Otter
5 lbs Pilsner
1 lb Crystal 60

Cascade, Chinook, Galena hops (mixed) 1 oz at 60, 1 oz at 15, oz at flameout. Dryhop with 1 oz.

Using a WYeast 1056 yeastcake.

 

[Cathedral]

Does this count?

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Does this count?

Are you fermenting them?

 

[Cathedral]

Are you fermenting them?

Yup!

 

[Qhrumphf]

Does this count?

Are you fermenting them?

Yup!

That's my kind of mad science there. Looks like a whole bunch of habaneros, a bhut, and is that a trinidad scorpion? Shape and color look about right, but I don't see a tail.

It's orange and one red habanero (came from a friends garden, that's why just one) and a bhut. Although about the scorpion: I went into work yesterday morning--it's five am, and one of the night shifters walks up to me and says, "hey, I hear you like hot things. Try this. I make my own beef sticks." So I grab it and say thanks. He just keeps looking at me, so I take a big ole bite. Then he says, "Yeah, I make them with trinidad scorpions. Enjoy!" and then walks away.

It was a warm beef stick.

About to finish up a double batch day.... The wort chiller is in the kettle... just waiting for things to cool down so I can finish up.

I brewed two and racked two. And... drum roll please... have enjoyed a few home brews - including the samples from racking to secondary.

It really is good to be a home brewer.

 

[daburrs]

Brewed an identical AB clone batch from last week to tweak my new AG set up. The whole batch was intended to compare/contrast techniques from last saturday and (hopefully) improve efficiency, unfortunately my hydrometer met the concrete floor and is no more. At least i THINK i improved my technique! Go Bears anyhow.

 

[lumpher]

brewed an irish red lager today. special bitter and cream of 3 crops tomorrow

 

[Spargster]

In the middle of a 90min boil on my first ever all grain IPA. Using recipe from AHA web site for East India Pale Ale along with Gordon Strong's RO water recipe for his pride of Warwick strong bitter since I'm on RO water. Single grain 13lbs Maris Otter, single hop UK east kent Golding. Single yeast London All III. Hoping for the best while I enjoy a dunkleweiss from my last brew session........life is good!

Congrats on making tge all grain jump.

I'm brewing up an IPA right now, which is close to the Stone Ruination Clone from BYO/Yoopers variation. 14 lbs of 2-Row with a pound of Crystal 20L. Nugget for bittering and lots of late addition Centennial.

 

[finsfan]

brewed an AG citra/chinook IPA yesterday. hit my OG perfect at 1.060.

 

[gometz]

Going to be brewing up a lager this afternoon (watching the F1 raced I recorded this morning right now).

However I realized my 2L starter was likley not enough (calculated 330 of 390 billion cells needed), so I decided to decant it and add another 2L of wort.

Now my question is: if the starter is going for about 8-10 hours, is that good enough?

OR should I wait until tomorrow morning to pitch, all the while the wort can cool to 50F (I have read somewhere that if the wort and yeast are at 50F already, no diacetyl rest is needed)?

D- rest for me are only needed "IF" yeast is under pitched and slow to start another way to check is taste a sample after primary. I haven't needed to do a rest since I pitch a robust starter and hold temp 48*-52*wort about 46*lager fridge temp. Results may vary

Brewed up a Summit IPA clone yesterday. Everything went real well.

Awesome. Hoping to have about 600 billion cells if I wait until tomorrow morning. The second starter took off like a damned rocket (about 15 minutes of lag). Since it is an all-grain batch with a thin mash I am thinking it will probably take me 8 hours to complete. But maybe I will try and pitch tomorrow morning with a cooled wort and test out the d-rest necessity.

 

[m3n00b]

Just brewed something similar to snpa using a bunch of leftovers. Just started my 30 minute hop stand. It might turn into a session IPA.

 

[Snisup]

Finally bottled my Oktoberfest. It's been lagering for the whole summer and it's delicious!
