So who's brewing this weekend?

[Cider123]

Taking my first crack at a lager tomorrow. I've browsed several recipes for a Munich Helles, and while I stuck pretty close to style, I made my 5 gallon recipe my own.

I'll be doing around 8 # of pilsner, 1#Vienna, .5#munich and .5# carapils.
S-23 saflager
One issue is my one pound delivery of Hallertau was supposed to arrive today but didn't, due to an ice storm we're having. So all I have that comes close is German Select. I have one ounce and I'll use that at 60 min. I guess I won't be having a 10min addition as I wanted but oh well. Should come out pretty good.

I'll call it "Highway to Helles"

Just put a 1.066 milk stout into its waterbath 5 min ago. This thing is dark, much darker than brewer's friend said it would be. Tastes pretty good despite my first ever boil over in about three years of brewing.

ps...don't make sandwiches and try to watch the thermometer and then try to dump in hops...LOL.

So... Missed your 15 minute mustard addition?

 

[govner1]

Finally going to get to my Mystic Fox Red Ale. Also going to start a 6 gallon batch of NZ Sauvignon Blanc.

My weekend includes Monday--my day off. On Monday I'm brewing a Taddy Porter clone.

 

[Setesh]

First and second batch on the new EHERMS system. Did a hopbursted pale ale first, then a hopbursted IPA. 5 gallons of each.

 

[davemattb]

2 heart clone tomorrow. If this batch tastes as close as the last time, I'll be a happy camper!

 

[punkrawkgeek]

I just brewed my first batch of beer... I am a little bit frightened. It is a ESB. Using Mt Hood hops. In my primary now... get working yeast!

LOL...don't be frightened. Congrats

However you will be an over eager yeastie dad and probably bug everyone with questions about if everything is normal.

Just started brewing a Double IPA

 

[DrunkleJon]

Brewed up a PM Amber Bock with friends yesterday.

Things I realized in yesterdays brew session.
One of my friends seems to enjoy the craft brew sampling more than the rest of the process. And seems to get us all started sampling them before we even turn on the heat.
I definitely seem to enjoy AG far more than PM, and have the process down much more smoothly. Maybe this is due to not having done a PM brew in years.
I forgot the beautiful thing about doing indoor brews. My house still smells amazing today.
My upstairs glass top stove is weak and will not boil any real amount of liquid, had to bring it downstairs to my ancient, I-dont-think-it-has-any-kind-of-thermostat, coil stove to get the boil done. And boy did it get the job done. Way too much boiloff.
9 adults, 4 children, and one dog is way too many for me to keep track of in my house during a brew day. That was 3 co-brewers, 2 wives, 4 children between them, and then the 3 who are going to rent rooms in my house. My house is... kinda trashed right now.
I think I may have converted one newbie brewer and may have someone to trade spent grains for eggs, etc with. Of course he lives way the heck away from me, but he is welcome to them.

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

Don't be scared, the yeast are your friends. Beer really wants to be made, it will turn out fine. Just be patient and don't rush things, it will work out great in the end.

We have stupid wind in Oklahoma right now too. I've been up since 4:30 because it was making the gutter flaps bang so loudly. 35MPH winds....stupid

 

[zardozap]

Windy here on the east coast today it appears. I would go out and brew, (mild 45) but too much stuff blows off my trees even in winter when it's windy. Got a stick and 3 leaves in my beer last time. (Got them out, beer was fine) Need to clean out one of my storage sheds, since I don't have a garage.

Aannndddd I'm running out of fuel. This is NOT my day.

 

[Melana]

Today I am thankful for a rockin hubby - he went out and refilled my propane tank when my fuel went dry!

 

[govner1]

Just finished a batch of AG Mystic Fox Res Ale. OG was 1.062

 

[NervousDad]

Doing a double batch tonight. IPA and Pale Ale trying to get ready for the mid west comp. It's going to be cutting it close for me...

 

[snowtires]

Brewing a saaz Vienna ale with carafa 2 to make it the right color even tho Vienna supposed to be darker without roasted flavour. And a lager instead of an ale. And probably not saaz hops. So what would this beer style be? No idea but I'm sure it will be tasty

Edit: said beer is now cooling and I can't decide between us05 or s04

I'm thinking 05's ester profile would suite that better, but I use 05 for pretty much everything so....

 

[Tommyb52]

Just did a wit from a recipe from the recipes here that looks real good : https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f71/el-segundo-grado-witbier-87679/
The wort smelled like a good wit,just hope the WLP400 goes good and doesn't give me a band aid beer again(I pitched way too high the last time).

 

[atimmerman88]

Planning on doing a 1gallon all grain tester for a Schwarz-weizen. Attempt is to clone a kapuziner.

[JonM]

Brewing Jim's Oatmeal Stout (again!) and using 1450 this time. Should be ready in time to bring it to a party in March.

 

[Newsman]

I'm going to be kegging my dunkel tomorrow. It's going to be interesting to see how it tastes... I had to change my bittering hops because the ones that came with the kit disappeared when I was steeping the specialty grains. The ones that came with the kit were like 2% AA, and I used Mt. Hood which is like 10% AA, so I suspect it's going to be very hoppy.

 

[Stigy]

Going to get started with homebrewing again this weekend.

Starting with a 1-gallon kit Bruxelles Blonde from Brooklyn Brew Shop to get my feet wet again. Never brewed a Belgian ale before so this should be fun.

BIAB method as my pots & space in the apartment are limited.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Going to do a turbid mash to make a lambic-style beer on Monday. Will finally put my ECY01 to use!

 

[robert843]

Going to attempt an Innis & Gunn rum oak barrel beet this weekend.
