So who's brewing this weekend?

[finsfan]

Sparging an oatmeal stout now. I'm planning to do a lot of stouts this winter, one style I haven't nailed yet.

Here is one you should try. If you dont want to try the pumpkin part, the rest is there is make the oatmeal cream stout. Buffalo sweat is one of my favorite beers and it is well liked, craft beer drinker or not!

Gonna do an oaked oatmeal cream stout this weekend if SWMBO allows it. This may be a time when it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. I can't stand having an empty fermenter. So what if I have 5 gallons fermenting in my other one and a couple of gallons of mead doing its thing (I forgot where I put it)?? Oh yeah, and that cider that's kegged.....yeah just pretend it's not there.

Nice. I was down to 2 batches of apfelwein, and one keg near death (done now) and another backup. I brewed 2 batches in the last 2 weeks and have the ingredients for 3 more beers and a 6 gallon batch of apfelwein. Just realized how much $$$ I have tied up in future brews. I gotta get brewing! Hopefully that'll be tomorrow...

Brewing up 2 this weekend. A clone of Mirror Pond, and an IPA with either the fresh cascade hops from a co-worker, or with some New Zealand Rakau and Pacific gem. If I do the NZ IPA, I'll probably do it as an IIPA. It'll also be my first attempts at BIAB and 2.5 gallon brewing. Have only done 5 galling batches so far.

It's not money tied up. It's an investment into your future.

 

[Malty_Dog]

Hopefully be breaking out new mash tun for first 5 gallon AG batch ever. I have pretty fresh Conan, so I'm just going for it and trying a heady Topper clone.

 

[finsfan]

Brewing up Yoopers hoppy amber ale this sunday, modified it a little by adding c10 and a half pound victory, I hope it doesnt come out too nutty but it should be good either way

 

[Whattawort]

Doing a tandem brew with a buddy. He's doing a bourbon vanilla porter and I'm doing a chocolate milk stout. I'm trying to convince him to go partygyle on this, but I don't think he wants to share. Oh well.

Out of curiosity, has anyone had success with "oaking" a chocolate milk stout or would that take things over the top?

Haha true that. However, I should have invested a little more in the present for beer consumption as my reserves are dwindling and good commercial beer costs money. I never thought I'd say this, but I planned too far in advance haha

 

[brewcephus]

doing a double brew day this weekend. Have a Nut brown ale kit from NB, adding 2 pounds of honey to it for a Double Honey Nut brown ale

Also have the "What the Fox" saison kit from AHS.

Looking forward to both of these, but really looking forward to having that saison bottle conditioning for the spring.

You don't need luck, you need cleanliness, and beer.

An IPA kit from my LBS. Can't wait to get my feet wet in this hobby!

Well, cleanliness is one of my main concerns. Beer will be involved for sure!

Just remember to relax, not worry, and be clean and sanitize anything that will touch cooled wort. It will be beer. Share your brewday experiences. And do not hesitate to ask questions, no matter how stupid they may sound. That is what we are here for, and we all were there.

Plan is to do a wheat for the spousal unit and a big heavy stout for myself, both on Saturday...

Cheers!

 

[Bulls Beers]

Brewed a Dark Lager today. I love this beer...See you in 2 months.

 

[inthebackwoods]

You know you're a brewer when you take a day off work to use specifically as a brew day. I'll be brewing my Honey Nut Imperial Brown on Tuesday. Made the starter today. Psyched!

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Seconded. I learned that after my 3rd batch or so. Times, temps, weights, etc. all written down.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Almost done except pitching the yeast!

 

[Trox]

Brewing up an IPA this Sunday. Having my Brother In-Law coming over to check it out and once he sees how easy it is might have another convert into the addiction.
