So who's brewing this weekend?

[Beernik]

I brewed my pumpkin in January because that's when I could get to it.

I finally wrapped up my dampfbier brewday. I was good on my preboil gravity but under on my post boil gravity. Collected an extra 1/4 gallon. I think the steady rain had something to do with it.

Did a Maine Beer Company MO inspired pale ale with a split batch yeast experiment . One batch 001 and the other 007. Can't wait until this is done!

Which one? The Red or the Wheat?

The red. I've got a recipe I posted for a partial mash one I came up with. Just looking to see what others are using to maybe up mine a bit more.

FInally brewing my Blackberry Red Ale.

I was supposed to do this two weeks ago, but stuff got in the way.

Just brewing the base beer tomorrow... I'll add the blackberries (in a bag) after aggressive fermentation is done....

Hope you guys had as good of a brew day as mine was. One stuck sparge, but it still worked out. I did two back to back all grain brews without too many hiccups so I'm happy.

I fired up the burner this morning at 7 and soon as the last pot was cleaned I climbed back on the lawn mower and mowed about 5 acres. I just came in from finishing up the yard. Had to use a headlamp to trim, but i'm done. I'm beyond dead tired, but man what a fabulous weekend.

Just mashed in ten minutes ago. Making a tangerine wheat. Wife thinks i am a little crazy. she woke up and came out to garage and said "really". She smiled and I said honey but their a lot of guys that do early morning brews so we can spend the rest of the day with you. She laughed.

 

[Kingbogart]

I mashed in at about 10 til 6 as well. SWMBO slayer.

[SupervisingChildren]

Brewing a blue moon type partial mash attempt. Maybe brewing another beer in the afternoon if all goes well.

 

[unionrdr]

Heating water for a couple pounds of steeping grains for a more beer Irish Red kit. Taking forever on small burner since wife using big one. so much for a quick brew day.

 

[te-wa]

Going to do Beirmuncher's Cascade blonde and Cream of three crops tomorrow to get a flow going before 1st baby comes in June. Just moved so I hope there won't be too many kinks with "new" set up.

 

[BeerGrylls]

Doughing in Jamil's ESB now. Drizzly, cool, but very peaceful. I love brew days.

 

[unionrdr]

Steep just about done for the red. Gonna dunk sparge'em next. Will have to wait till maybe Friday to brew the ESB. Gotta get paid first.

 

[Guden]

Just started the boil on my second annual lambic. Having a great day so far and haven't even cracked a beer yet.

Got my Irish red in the fermenter. Got good efficiency again with the barley crusher mill. Stirred wort & top off a 2nd time & tested again to be sure of my gravity reading. Out of the 1.049-1.053 range,I got a 1.061! I think I'll be doing the dunk sparge from now on. Looks like a reddish copper color so far.:rockin:

That's pretty awesome. When I first made the jump from extract to all grain I still had a kit leftover (I think it was a NB Irish stout) I did a mini mash of the steeping grains and got an extra 16 gravity points

 

[unionrdr]

I love it when a fresh crush & good mash/steep gives higher efficiency! I steeped the grains in 2G of spring water @ 158F. Lost 4 points in the smaller kettle over 30 minutes. Instructions said to steep @ 170F,but I like to stick to my usual routine. Maybe that's part of it?

I have three 1 gallon jugs of Motts Apple juice, waiting to be made into hard cider.
In one container will be a Apple/Cranberry using a 12 oz can of concentrate added.
In one container will be a Apple/Raspberry using a 12 oz can of concentrate added.
In one container will be a Apple/Apple using a 12 oz can of concentrate added.
I am fairly sure I will have enough juice left over to make another batch, of what I am not sure, it might be Apple/Grape, or Apple/Pear if I can find it.

Pear is a waste the flavor is to mild to come through IMHO

Just Finished up about 30min ago, Small batch, Thread and Pics to come...

Just finished up a brew day about an hour ago. Wasn't originally going to brew, I was going to do some yardwork, but the weather last night called for rain most of the day. So I decided temps in the low 50s and rain, perfect garage brew day. Well, luckily I did a little yardwork in the morning, to not feel all bad, but it didn't rain until just as I was finishing clean up.

I did a leftover IPA. Basically built a recipe from a few leftover grains I had. If it turns out decent, I'll post the recipe. Nothing crazy. A little 60L, a little vienna and a touch of amber malt, then obviously 2 row. Mainly simcoe hops.
