So who's brewing this weekend?

[Hello]

15 minutes left in the boil - and now theres a tornado warning.

Beats my issue of watching my propane tank putter out with 4 minutes left in my boil.


Brewed an amber for people (and me) but my OG is quite literally 10 points too high. trying to figure it out. Aeration was great, top off to 5 gallons and while it is extract, it wasn't a kit so I may increase the batch since I don't have another vial of WLP005 and I don't think it'll be okay with just one at that OG based on what Mr. Malty has to say.

Got a BIAB Newcastle clone staged and ready to brew this evening. Almost out, and SWMBO says don't let it get that low again! Yes, Mam!

 

[Billy-Klubb]

Chocolate habanero stout. So far I've broke my hydrometer and burnt up my drill, and I haven't even mashed in yet.

my condolences on your brew day. I really hope it turns out great. the beer that overcame the obstacles.

10 gallon brew day. Made a 10 gallon OG 1.072 and 90 IBU wort, split, steeped a pound of carafa III and a pound of caramel 60 then boiled and added to half. I pitched a 2 liter starter of WLP001 to each and set a blow off tube. Magnum, Columbus, Amarillo and Centennial in the boil. Will dry hop the IPA with Centennial and Citra. The black IPA will get a Simcoe Amarillo dry hop. Looking forward to sampling these brews!

All. Friggin. Done. I broke my hydrometer, burnt up my drill, ripped open my grain bag and spilled grain everywhere, got a hole in my BIAB, clogged up pump because of said hole, spilled 155 degree wort on my foot trying to unclog said pump, got drenched running into and out of the house during a tornado warning, disregarded SWMBOs advice to take cover during the sirens, and sliced my hand when disassembling my CFC, but I got that goddam beer made.

 

[Swarley88]

Throwing together an apfelwein tomorrow. Cant wait to try it in a few months!

 

[Mikethepoolguy]

You are fighting the good fight. Nicely done.

Brewing my double black IPA tomorrow. Second time brewing. Was more of an imperial black ale than a DIPA, but super delicious with some nice roasty notes blended with a hop assault. Psyched!

The dedication is paramount. That's gonna taste like one of the best beers you've ever had, if only on account of what you went through to make it.

Brewed a Dark English Mild on Saturday and hit 79%. WOO HOO!!!

 

[Homercidal]

Jeep floor pans are almost completed. Should be done next 2-3 days, which means I shall have almost the entire weekend to do other things. Which means finally brewing a beer or two!

I've got too many on my to-do list to choose one right now. I know a couple who wants to brew a Rye Pale Ale, so if they are able to brew this weekend then that's what I'll brew. Otherwise the possibilities are nearly endless.

 

[brewcephus]

Will be doing my first AG brew this weekend. Can't wait to see the AG in action, but kind of psyched out about it too. I read too much on here lol.

Doing a side-by-side brew day with a friend who's also doing AG brewing, this will be his second time. If there's enough time afterwards, I want to do an Extract kit that I have in waiting.

 

[Melana]

Was going to brew again this weekend but the weather doesn't look favorable.

 

[Fordzilla]

Saturday is my Fiance's bachelorette party. While that happens I will be brewing up some Zombie Dust.

I don't mind snow... It's the high winds that do in my burner.

 

[carlk47]

Had to delay my brewing this past weekend so I'm currently brewing up a Honey Brown Ale and excited to try my hand at no-chill! Really hoping it works out well.. Between BIAB and no-chill, the amount of equipment I had to take out is about 1/2 of what I've used in the past.. Cheers!

 

[BrewinHooligan]

Brewing 10gal of IPA and 10gal of a Rye Amber this weekend

This is true. Turn the pot into the wind--the wind will keep the wort in the pot, and the pot will protect the flame. It's simple engineering.

Homer is doing the logic in his brain right now

 

[Melana]

If it were a steady wind that would work... Gusty winds won't work.

I'm not actually brewing, but I will be bottling a St. Paul Porter around Saturday. The diacetyl rest should be complete by then, I think. Gonna be delicious!
