So who's brewing this weekend?

[bigken462]

please tell me you have some air inflow to that room, and a fire extinguisher close by!

Yeah, I keep a few inches of the garage door open to promote a good flow of air. As you guys know who brew in the garage, but have to store their stuff in the house........I only make about 50 trips in and out before I get everything that I need. Also have a CO alarm out there. There is a constant breeze.

Well, small plans for this weekend, so I might decide to throw a stout together. I should have everything I need, even some RO water to dilute with.

Just chilling 4 gallons of a cloned Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA. Will pitch it tomorrow

Brewed up a Blonde Ale today as a starter for a Barleywine.

 

[Sandbag58d]

Ran out of IPA and have a new RIMS control panel to break in. 13 lbs of grist + 8 lbs of pork shoulder = brewday!

 

[wtfDean]

single malt single hop pale ale with maris otter and cascade

Not Brewing this weekend. But will be next week. I've been offshore for almost 4 weeks and have ordered all kinds of items to get me going. I used to brew on the stove, but after joining this sight and talking with an experienced guy on the boat, I'm now doing a full boil with a starter. Trying out the Octane IPA from Midwest. 6 more days of waiting.

Probably no brewing but I will most likely throw a cider together with the mangrove jack cider yeast that showed up in the mail today. Also bottling the ris a brewed several months ago.

 

[Talonracer67]

Will bottle a chocolate stout today, samples of this beer have been yummy! Sunday I planned on brewing a bourbon barrel porter but I'm unsure if I wanna stand outside and do my boil in 15 degree weather. My guess is I'll brave it. My 1 liter starter is in the fridge ready to go.

 

[gwapogorilla]

well, I 'WAS' going to brew today....but the weather man was wrong AGAIN! Strong winds weren't suppose to be here til tonight. Right now sustained winds at 24 mph with gusts up to 39 mph....and it's cold!
F@&king f@&ktard weatherman...wish he'd pull his head out of his ass!

 

[dan6310]

All mashed in for an oatmeal stout

 

[brick]

I decided to brave the cold and brew a faux pils. (I mostly wanted to try out my new monster mill, which worked great.) It isn't the best day for a long boil but I don't feel like waiting for spring to brew this one. Currently waiting for the mash to finish.

 

[pumpkinman2012]

Been fighting a cold...going to try to brew a Lagunitas Brown Shugga clone if I don't crawl back into bed first...LOL

 

[zardozap]

Just about to start a Honey Weizen after getting delayed for about 4 days due to commitments and cold weather.

 

[brick]

I'm into the boil now and the wind is absolutely killing me. I jury rigged a reasonable wind break but gusts still keep knocking down my boil. Lesson learned: a frigid, calm day is better than a very cold windy one. Also, build a proper wind screen.

I couldn't agree more! Freaking winds really mess a brew day up. Something else I have noticed for these cold winter days...my evaporation rate increases a bit...cold WINDY days increases it even more.

Brewing really is as much of a science as it is an art form.

 

[BeerGrylls]

These stories keep pushing me towards an eherms.

 

[dan6310]

That's one of the reasons why I went E-Herms. It a balmy 30 degrees out side but a comfortable 55 in my basement.
Getting ready to chill.

 

[igotsand]

Just finished a 80 bitterness American IPA from a recipe I found in my late uncles stuff. Thought it would be a great first all grain for me. I added some spring water I gathered from a hole in the ice when we were sledding last weekend. I'm naming it Seeley's Second Spring IPA since it's my sons second birthday today. My hose was frozen, so I had to hook up the chiller directly to the spigot outside :/

For measurements...I have a fb on there too and I like to know how much volume pre boil and post boil I have and adjust the hop additions to that..
My kettle is 26 gallons and .075 =1 gallon..

I got ya. My pot has depressions for every quarter gallon I put on with a metal punch. Ruler is a good idea.

 

[Amick780]

Brewing a Pliny the Elder clone tomorrow, brewed a Black IPA on Friday. It's way to cold out but the kegs are getting low. Gonna have to brave the elements in the name of home brew Time to sit back and enjoy one of these!
