Brew day tomorrow. Making an imperial IPA with all hops from the Yakima valley. 46 pounds of grains for a ten gallon batch. Hopefully it's not to cold. Should be rediculous.

Late start this morning.... I slept in a little bit Mashed in at 6:05 after fumbling around the kitchen making coffee and starting a fire 'cause it was 58F in the house. Off to feed and water animals before the mash is finished!

Im brewing my Cockfosters Pilsner.

AHS half IPA is boiling now. Something about simcoe and Amarillo together smells exquisite.

I love it! I just brewed a Baltic Porter with it and have made a California Common as well. This is not a prototypical lager yeast. It's the Anchor Steam strain. It does not handle typical lager temps (low 50s) but gives some lager characteristics at temps closer to where ales are usually brewed. I start it at the low end for this yeast, around 58 then slowly let it rise to 62.

Hmm i didn't read to much on san Francisco lager yeast and just assumed it was a lager yeast... So i wouldn't be able to ferment this is the traditional lager way?

I was planning on pitching at 60 letting fermentation start and dropping to 45 to 50 degrees... Would this yeast preform at that temp?

I was going to

You will want to ferment in the mid to high 50's for the best results, but it will give you traditional lager characteristics.

might be a stupid question but can i ferment at around 55 for the 2 weeks raise to 60 for the diatycly rest (should this be done with this yeast?) then rack to secondary and then lager down to 35? would this work out?

From White Labs website: Can also be fermented down to 50 degrees for production of marzens, pilsners and other style lagers.

You should be just fine doing that

[gometz]

Will be being a kolsch on Sunday. Wrong time if the year, but i want to do a test batch before my father's 60th in May for which i will be brewing 10 gallons.

 

[ArkotRamathorn]

Planning a double day on saturday, doing a BDSA to start in the morning then what will become a Banana Foster's Beer (got the recipe from here on HBT).

Someone tell me I'm not completely insane for wanting to do a double batch on a Saturday.

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

I read that as being dedicated, not insane

I'm hoping to brew a 5 gallon batch of Slim's Graham Cracker ale some time over the weekend and a 4 gallon batch of barleywine by this time next week.

Partial mash or all grain? I've done double extract days, but I don't think I could endure back to back AG batches. I know that plenty of people here have done it, but to each his own.

 

[roastquake]

Working on a recipe for a wheatwine one gallon BIAB parti-gyle. I'm thinking four pounds total grain for an OG of about 1.120, taking the spent grains and dunk sparging for another smaller wheat beer

 

[opiate82]

Yup, I need to brew this weekend. Haven't decided what yet.

Ran into the unfortunate situation of running out of homebrew after a Thanksgiving party wiped out 10 gallons of brew. Basically that coupled with a diacetyl problem in a batch of blonde has dried my pipeline up for a month. I have learned that I need to brew extra batches for parties in addition to my normal pipeline additions.
