Mixing it up and taking a small break from all of the brown and amber ales I've been brewing over last 2-3 months.. going to brew up a nice light cream ale tomorrow!

 

[AbsoZed]

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!

 

[sbrann]

Brewing up a 5gal batch all grain of MOOSE DROOL... cant wait considering on punching it up with a bit of Espresso or strong coffee

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Cooling the wort for a strawberry citrusy blonde. Added some extra cascade and galaxy, plus some orange peel and lemon peel to the usual recipe...

 

[coyote68]

brewing a tetleys clone tomorrow... not the weekend but i gotta work the weekend so i gues this counts as my weekend.

 

[Veritas]

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 ****** beer made.

Winning.

I'm about 45 minutes into mashing my first AG brew: a simple blonde ale with a touch of rye and palisade hops. (Gottal love 9/80 work schedules and quiet Friday mornings. Just me and the dogs.) It's raining at the moment but it's supposed to dry-out for the boil in another hour or two.

The partial mash Kolsch that I just racked out of primary is fantastic. (It's amazing what proper fermentation temperatures can produce.) I'm hoping it will drop clear in the garage for bottling on Sunday.

 

[user 51917]

Mashing 10 gallons of Irish Red Ale as we speak
GO BEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Melana]

Weather looks good to brew Yoopers Oatmeal Stout tomorrow. YAY!

 

[smccarter]

Bought 2 kits from NB... an American Rye and a German Alt. Going to brew today (Friday) and tomorrow.

 

[Schol-R-LEA]

Given that I have all three of my carboys full and fermenting, and I'll be busy with other things both Saturday and Sunday, no, I won't be brewing this weekend. I mean to bottle my brown ale on Saturday, but it may have to be put off for a week while I'm down in St. Augustine, FL, visiting family.

 

[DrunkleJon]

If I can get my other errands run I am going to brew. Not sure what yet but I will brew. Now I really should get my lazy butt of the internet and get them done so I can brew. Come one motivation. You can do it!

 

[DaNewf]

I bought the ingredients for CBBaron's Smooth Oatmeal Stout earlier this week. My plan was to put it on last night but that got derailed. Saturady evening is the new launch time.

I've scaled CBBaron's recipe down for a 15 litre batch and I'm replacing the Williamette hops with some wild Cluster (I think they're Cluster) hops I found/picked/dried back in September.

 

[NervousDad]

Just weighed out all of my grains, hops, and gypsum for a Modus Hoperandi clone, can't wait for this one.

 

[BrewinHooligan]

Just created a brewday checklist and am getting started on building the water profile for a rye amber. Will run out to the LHBS after work to buy enough grains, hops, and yeast to pump out 20 gallons this weekend.

First AG brew day went great! Long...5 hours start to finish...but I put wort and yeast in a fermentor, so I'm calling it a success. I'm amazed at how clear the wort became as the cold break dropped like a bomb. Never seen anything like that with extracts in the mix. Brewhouse efficiency was reasonable at 77%. Next time I'll know to expect a faster boil off rate thanks to my wide 40qt pot. Next weekend: the rye monster.

5-6 hours is my AG brew day. There seems to be a lot of variation depending on the size of the grain bill .. longer lauters? It sounds like it went pretty well for you.

I will be brewing a Pale Ale (Edwort's Haus Pale Ale) on Sunday. I wanted something tasty, with a quick turn around, that I can include in gift packs for family and friends this Christmas.

A little extra time went into the boil since I ran off more wort than I had intended, and I thought I needed to boil off nearly a gallon before I could start the timer. A quart would have been about right. Backing-down the boil at the half hour mark got me pretty close to what I had intended, so I'm calling it good enough.

I planned every step ahead of time and printed-off a queue sheet with volumes, temperatures, etc., and I think that's why it was relatively painless. I didn't have to think too hard during a new process with a timer ticking down.

 

[justkev52]

10 gallons of Evil Czech Pilsner and 10 gallons of Best Blonde

 

[govner1]

Just finished an AG Cream Ale w/ my daughter as assistant brewer.

 

[beerinasippicup]

On monday Im gonna brew a . . . Hazelnut nut brown ale. (ha! nut nut). My friend has been asking me to do one for a while now. I will probably just wing it on my Beersmith.

ANY GRAIN BILL SUGGESTIONS?

 

[jpeebs]

Just about to start brewing a Scottish ale. Any suggestions on boosting ABV? Got some dextrose and maltodextrin. Also have about 4 lbs of corn sugar. Wondering what the better choice will be.

Dextrose is corn sugar

 

[jpeebs]

Dextrose is corn sugar

and maltodextrin is basically just going to add mouthfeel right?
