Doing an experiment today. Small 1 gallon batch. A Pumpkin pie hefe. Well see how it turns out.
 
Re-brewing my porter today. Had a little accident with my last batch at the end of fermentation. I was draining the trub out of my conical and forgot about my blowoff tube. Ended up sucking up about a gallon and a half of stars san into the fermenter. Oops
 
Since I did not manage it today(cleaned all of my kegs and house a bit as well) since I have Thursday off this week I am brewing up that batch of Cream Ale I have been neglecting, and then on Saturday am brewing a Boddingtons Pub-ish ale with a friend and possibly the head brewer of a now defunct brewery.
 
This Sunday I will be brewing 2 batchs of IPA. The wife and I are having a brew-off. Same recipe but have to use different fruit.

Using 6row,uswheat, victory,am carapils,2oz of rosasted barley and crystal10L. Not doing all grin yet so using pale lme and 1lb extra light. For the hops 1oz of each. Centennial 60min chinook 30min cascade 10min. And American ale yeast. Wyeast 1056


She has gone out of the box and went with Pluots (plum apricot) making a PIPA. She's still thinking of a 2nd item to add

I have picked Apples and Cranberrys. With ginger root. Cranapple. Calling this a cranapp IPA

Now we just have to figure out how much fruit and when/how long to steep in wort.

Also have a Pumpkin wheat in the 2nd ready to be bottled. Thinking of priming with Molasses.
And lastly I will be getting my outdoor 62k btu burner! Can't wait to use.
 
I haven't brewed in way too long, so it's time to get cranking again. Won't be brewing this weekend, but will hit the LHBS late week, get a starter going, and brew a Dusseldorf Altbier early next week while I'm on vacation.
 
Just finished the brew
9lbs Belgian pilsner
1lb Flaked Wheat
80min 144 10min 147 10min 152
Just to see how dry the Belle Saison yeast well go
.5 Citra@60 .5Galaxy@40 .5Galaxy@20 1Galaxy@5 .5Simcoe@5 .5Citra@5
1.050SG. Startering fermentaion @68F and plan on going as high as 78F. After fermentation Im going to keg and cold condition for a week then carb fairly high, a little worried about an astringent bitterness, but am looking forward to getting this once through the process
 
Going to brew an Austin homebrew supply Dunkelweizen this weekend. Hopefully it'll be in good shape for Christmas time.
 
I'm hoping my Whiskely stout I bottled 6 days ago will be good by Christmas. With only about 1/3 of a large bag of ice left,I'm wondering if I should go ahead & get the vanilla porter going today?! I do have 2G of local spring water in the fridge a couple days now. Maybe that'll be enough with the ice I have left to get down to pitch temp? IDK...
 
Well,the 156F mash temp on my robust porter worked a lot better than on the stout. This one has a good roasty almost soup kinda smell. like french roast coffee smell mixing with smells of dinner or something. Got the boil going with .5oz warrior for bittering. Fuggle & wakatu goin in at 20 & 15. The vanilla has been soaking in vodka a couple days now. Should be great by the time I dump it in the beer.
 
My third starter from Bells dregs should be at high krausen after the last step this morning. So I should be set to brew this weekend.

Going to do my third batch of orange pale ale using zested tangerine peels and homegrown cascade hops. I am going to up the gravity and the hopping a tad this time to make it an extra pale ale.

I will use the Bells yeast from the EPA to brew up my 50th brew, a massive Barleywine that can age in carboys till spring. Can't wait to see how high I can get that gravity.

Recipe please?
 
Testing my new AG setup this weekend with a pale ale. Will still need to figure out how exactly to lauter. Wish me luck!
 
finally brewing up the Tallgrass pumpkin buffalo sweat clone sunday :D

unfortunately I was at the LHBS yesterday who told me they had pale ale malt and when I got there and ask he picked up a bag of 6 row and said that was close enough. I now will have to delay the brew day until I can order the right base malt and yeast, which he also said they had but didnt. Not gonna take any short cuts on this clone. I will instead be brewing up Yoopers hoppy amber ale that I have altered a little instead :D

haha normally I wouldnt but the pumpkin buffalo sweat was just so incredible that I wont take any chances. PLus ive had Yoopers grist sitting around for almost 2 months so I needa get that made. I may decide to just do a smash IPA or pale ale with the 6 row and pound of simcoe I have
 
Not brewing this weekend.

I WILL be volunteering for a couple of friends who are starting a microbrewery. Oak Park Brewing in Sacramento.

The building they're leasing needs cleaning, painting, repairs, etc.

I'll gladly work for beer...when it's theirs! :mug:
 
Cable company is supposed to fix my phone line and install high speed internet (yes i live in the sticks) so i brewed up a partial extract dead ringer ipa.

Drinking a Mad Tom IPA now.

Good luck to everyone else!!
