Tommorrow brewing an Ithaca Flower Power IPA clone, Beersmith has it at 7.6% so I consider that DIPA territory. Looking forward to it, it's got 7 diff hops in it, should yield an interesting result.
 
3 batches tomorrow. It's A Trapp- my Belgian IPA, Ryedin' the Storm Out- my Rye IPA and a new recipe I formulated that I'll be brewing for the first time, Sauvin Blanc- an all Nelson Sauvin hopped farmhouse ale with Brett that will be Oaked and dry hopped.

Well, the watermelon hefe from last night pegged the airlock center piece. But no explosive fermentation as yet. Have to keep an eye on it though. It could just be a late bloomer....:D
 
This will be my 3rd weekend in a row brewing. Weekend before last I brewed a pretty basic Saison to have something for the keezer (only 3 of 4 taps running right now :(), Last weekend I brewed another batch of the Strawberry/Rhubarb pale ale to have ready for when the keg kicks (it is on permanent tap at my house), and this weekend I will be brewing my first 10 gallon batch and it will be a Chocolate coffee stout that I am brewing for an obstacle / peep eating / shooting / soda chugging event called Cola Warrior. I will be floating 20 marshmellow peeps in the boil and the 10 gallons will be brought for after event refreshments (once all the firearms are secured of course). It will be called Peep Show Stout :D.

I ended up doing 15 gallons on Friday. I decided to parti-gyle a 5 gallon batch after I got enough for the 10 gallon batch. Used some amber LME, turbinado sugar, and Conan yeast (<-- heady topper yeast). No idea what it will taste like but should be good.

15 gallons at one time was way too much. Had the keggle outside on the deck on propane and the 5 gallon batch on the stove in the kitchen. Too much running back and forth to ensure no boil overs.
 
Hopefully, if Brewmasters Warehouse delivers on time (which they usually do), I'll be brewing up a Mocktoberfest Ale based off of Biermuncher's OctoberFAST Ale recipe on Saturday morning.

I have to start early because once it gets about noon down here, not only is it hotter than the sun, but it rains EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!

I'll be using Kolsch yeast for this one. I've used it twice so far with decent results.
 
I like the WL029 Kolsch yeast for my hybrid lagers. should work well at ale temps (65-69F) for an oktoberfest beer. My watermelon hefeweizen finally got to bubbling in fast spurts...I think it's finally blowin' it's load?...
 
Oatmeal Amber Ale in the fermenter and bubbling already. Maybe an American Wheat tomorrow..... Helles and Oktoberfest starters going. Couple jars of 1056 and 1469 in the fridge........ Back to school in 10 days - gotta fill up some fermenters!
 
My watermelon hefe is still bubbling away steadily this morning. The 30% head space my Cooper's Micro brew FV gives per instructions is working out great in keeping explosions at bay.
 
Planning a Munich helles. Already have the starter going, two more steps.

Fiancee is going out of town and I am debating brewing another batch. But I have no idea what and I wouldn't have a fridge for it. I keep my apartment at 73-77, so maybe a saison or maybe that new de bom yeast.
 
Brewing zombie dust since I have the house to myself.

Ingredients from NB should be here Thursday and I will bottle my honey wheat ale giving me a free primary. Yep, I could brew my attempt to clone A Lil Sumpin Sumpin!

It's not the weekend. This thread specifically only matters to people who brew on the weekends, because weekends are the only time people brew.


My bad. I'd try to brew again this weekend but on vacation. Maybe I'll brew again tomorrow just to brew again on a week day against thread rules! :D
 
I'm on a staycation so it's technically my weekend so I'm brewing a cream of three crops batch right now while drinking my citra hopped apple wheat (tastes like pineapple)
 
1 more hour of work then I'll either be brewing right away or this afternoon..regardless brewing up my first attempt at a RIS! Big beer, big grain bill, can't wait!
 
In about 1 hour, it's gonna be Oktoberfest time! Got some pulled pork to grind on, some friends stopping by and of course homebrew to consume.

I am talking to the owner of my LHBS about using his space to make an RIS. He was intrigued as well, so maybe I can convince the SWMBO to make that my Xmas gift!

I just do not have the equipment to handle 30+ lbs of grain or a 15 gal boil kettle.

Pushed my MLT to its limit. 23.5 lbs of grain and 7.5-8 gallons of water. But I managed to hit my temp dead on, I know the limit of my MLT!

Woah, I think I had 22 lb in mind once and that was a lot of work.

Cleaning up then getting water for a sour I'll be brewing tonight. Tomorrow I'm going to attempt a decoction for a helles
 
That fine grain river gravel looks almost like grains! I take it that was on purpose? Looks kinda cool in that shot...:rockin::mug:

Oh thanks. Not on purpose. I'm not that creative with landscaping. Makes for a good a brewing place though.
