So who's brewing this weekend?

[buddman]

My first brew of 2014 will be a Smithwick's clone (10 gal.). Harsh winter in Michigan this year has prevented me from brewing until now. Have a lot of catchin' up to do. Running low on HB.

I may be doing an Oud Bruin for a second barrel project we have running, in this case we are doing primary in our own vessels and adding all the rest to the barrel to secondary and age.

Going to try to make a toned down wookey jack clone I think. Don't have the room in the mashtun for the full grain bill so I am going to make it a black pale ale instead of black ipa. hopefully it works out and is similar enough to the regular thing.

If you haven't already brewed this: could you get enough grain in if you cut the water to grist ratio? I did this with a 10 gallon doppelbock recently, and was able to get the full grain bill in my MLT by cutting the water to 1qt/lb.

I hadn't thought of that.

Using the calculator at http://www.rackers.org/calcs.shtml i found to use my 5 gallon mash tun with the 16.66lb grain bill, i'd have to go with .9 qt/lb. Do you think that will be too thick? I could maybe drain a gallon and then top off and do another rest if that is a viable option.


Would I have to change anything with batch sparging? I am pretty new to all grain.

Looks like I will have to get a bigger mash tun sooner than I thought.

 

[Black Island Brewer]

I've never dropped that low, but I have done 1qt/lb and got 80% conversion efficiency. You could give yourself a little room by cutting back a pound or two of base malt and adding in the missing points with extract in the boil.

 

[Fenduh]

Thinking of doing an Arrogant Bastard Clone this weekend. Bottled up my Fullers London Porter clone and a Milk O'Stout last weekend but I still have some empties left...this cannot be.

Just going to do a 1.5 gallon batch.

Supposed to hit the 50's this weekend.

 

[Schemy]

10 gallons of Saison will be happening.

 

[klinus]

gonna try my hands at a clone of Omnipollos Leon. Its like a belgian ale, but hopped with simcoe and amarillo. The original is fermented with champagne yeast, but im a little noob and nervous about that, so I'm thinking of splitting the batch and ferment half of it with belgian ale yeast instead.

Want to brew but can't decide what to make... Need to call in and order to lhbs but am so indecisive. What should I make? In the past 2 months I have made a sweet stout, honey blonde/honey kolsch, and a Belgian wit.

Sounds like you need something hoppy :rockin:

 

[dadshomebrew]

I am frothing about breing this weekend. It is supposed to be 60 degrees an sunny in the Philadelphia area and I cant wait to get out and brew it up.

On a side note my shipment of supplies for this brew got delayed, killing last weekends brew. Eat my stinky ass UPS. This has me all the more pumped.

All grain moose drool clone.

 

[VaBrewer]

15 gallons of Allagash's Curieux happening this weekend.

I'm coming up to 212F on a Citra pale ale right now. I love brewdays!

 

[Riot]

I need to do something with the Worthingon culture I have on stir, but I havent really decided on exactly what yet. I have a bunch of Maris otter, bit I still need to make a trip for hops and specialty grains. Any suggestions?

 

[abrdnck]

I will make an extract Zombie Dust (kinda) clone tomorrow. I've never actually had ZD so I won't know how close I come to it, but I will do lots of late Citra additions and aim for an OG of 1.065.

 

[Melana]

Hoping i can brew 10 gallons of Porter tomorrow.

 

[PetenNewburg]

My plan is to do a Cream Ale Saturday and a Coconut Cream Stout Sunday. I washed the yeast from a fairly strong IPA I racked yesterday and roasted the coconut for the Stout.

Cheers!

 

[Oginme]

Gearing up for a batch of my Sea Spray Summer Ale, requested by SWMBO, on Sunday.

 

[choirjon]

Brewing an Orange/Honey Hefe with too high an OG around 1.065. Does this make it a Wheat Bock?

 

[TimFarAway]

Either a "black" Kolsch or a cream ale. Need something to share with friends during pool parties. I may split a cream and add some cherries to 1 gal just to see how it turns out.

 

[AsgardNorth]

Hoping to brew up a Brown Ale (2 1/2 gallons) tomorrow and maybe something on Monday though undecided as to just what yet.

 

[DaNewf]

Bottling a wine kit on Saturday night to make room for the BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde Ale I plan to do on Sunday night.

 

[Whippy]

5 US Gal of Helles going on tomorrow morning!

 

[cmoewes]

Gearing up for my marathon brewfest brewing 7 beers over 14 weeks. This weekend is 5 gallons of my 1744 Porter.

That and building a 3 tier gravity rack.
