So who's brewing this weekend?

[stbnj]

This coming weekend I am going to get my funk on and brew my first beer with brett using WLP670. I had been debating on getting into sours/wild yeast so when Austin had carboys for 10 bucks I decided to buy new ones and move the old ones to funk duty.

Doing a Little Scotty PM (low ABV around 3.3%) - Saturday or Sunday, gonna use it as my non-alcoholic beer experiment....Just 50% of it....

Not really brewing today, but toasting a couple pounds of oats in the oven for some oatmeal stout soon. I might try to brew a belgian dubbel this weekend, we'll see.

I brewed yesterday. I had an unexpected snow day so i managed to bottle a batch and brew an AG black IPA. Turned out to be a good brewday, hit my numbers and ended up with 6 gallons of now fermenting beer. Cant ask for much more. And yes i brewed on the porch. We got a foot of snow yesterday so the patio was not an option haha

Work requires me this weekend, but I get Friday off. So Friday is my weekend and what a day I've got planned.

Task 1: 2 row goldings smash. No sparge.
Task 2: Vienna goldings smash. No sparge.

Venturing into the world of AG brewing I think a couple simple base malt comparison brews are in order. I can read for a fortnight on the end result and what to expect but it still won't be the same as having it side by side.

Task 3: I wasn't done! Take all that spent grain and make a parti-gyle inspired half 2 row half vienna sparge water brew. You thought I was mad to not sparge didn't you? With sparge water from 2 batches it should (I have a love hate relationship with that word. should) have around the same OG as the other 2 batches. Perhaps throw some crystal at that.

I realize this is quite the bill for the day, and fully expect it to take the entirety of it. I am open to suggestions as to how to not lose my mind or streamline the process.

I actually think the vorlauf and first runnings of all that wort will have a much higher OG than the sparged grains at the end.

I'm planning an Irish Red and Dry Irish Stout(which I will add coffee to the secondary) for this weekend, provided that everything goes well

I think I've talked myself into trying my first batch of apfelwein. I hadn't planned to brew anything but I unexpectedly find myself in posession of a new-to-me 3gal carboy, and it seems wrong to let it sit empty.

 

[carlk47]

Kegging an Irish red and brewing up a small batch of Scottish 80 & Dunkelweizen. Off for a few days so might also brew another small test batch!

You should! It takes about ten minutes to make and is very much worth it. I havent meet a person, beer/wine/spirit drinker who did not like it. I like the still version better than the carbed version, but both are very good!

I know one person who doesn't like it. Of course it is his fault as he drankmultiple pints of it, blacked out for hours and woke up feeling like death. As a result I do not have any pity for him (I warned him of the ABV ahead of time) and do not consider that a real "not like".

Haha that happens. I had a buddy black out on four of them. I told him not to drink more than three but he was already drunk at that point.

He still loves when I bring them over though, only one at a time though.

Meh, I don't really like it that much.

Brewing a German Pils this weekend and preparing for a Barley wine / parti-gyle Saison in 2 weeks. My goal is to pull the pils from my fermentation fridge for a d-rest on the day I brew the barley wine. Ferment the barley wine at 60F for a few days in the fridge, then swap the pils back in and drop the temp for lagering.

Hopefully by late March or early April I'll have the Pils and Saison both kegged and ready to serve. The barley wine will sit for a while.

Have a buddy coming over and we are brewing our first beer batch. It's a Munton's IPA bitter. Also gotta bottle up some skeeter pee. Will be making some wings and kicking back a few while the wives are at a baby shower. Ahhh. Nice.

Im doing a 10 gallon batch of pump-kin ale. I have a few extra bags of priming sugar from past kits. Can i add them to my boil without ill effect? Like 3-5oz bags? I keg and use tabs so i dont need it for bottling.
