So who's brewing this weekend?

[unionrdr]

That's about it. Gotta figure out how much spring water to grain weight & get going on my stout. The Irish red should be about done fermenting.

Brewing another batch of my friend's and family's favorite, Strong Scottish Ale. It's actually a I & G clone. Ten gallons SHOULD last for a few days!

10 gallons:

26 lbs Pale Malt, Maris Otter
7.1 oz Chocolate Malt
3.6 oz Roasted Barley
Mashed w/ 9 gal. @ 157 degrees for 75 minutes.
Carmelized 1 gal of first runnings to 1 qt.
Batch Sparged - Two 4 gal. sparges @ 168 degrees for 10 minutes each.

2.83 oz Fuggles [4.50 %] - Boil 55.0 min
2.00 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 15.0 mins) Fining
2.0 pkg Scottish Ale (Wyeast Labs #1728)

4 oz. oak chips soaked in bourbon to secondary for 14 days.

 

[unionrdr]

Just mashed in on my stout at 12:35. Gotta get some Beam's Black to soak the white oak chips in though, & some ice later on. Got no freezer space atm.

I have grain, I have hops, I have time. I'm brewing. Throwing together a Mosaic/Cascade blonde.

 

[jmward21]

Doing my first all grain on Saturday. I got my new shiny equipment and my ingredients. I'll be making BierMuncher's Creme of 3 Crops Ale. It's a nice light beer for a beginner brew. Now I just need to stop reading and start brewing.

 

[Genghis]

Going to pick up the stuff for a batch of Smashbomb tomorrow or Saturday.

 

[unionrdr]

Got the boil going on my whiskely stout stout a few minutes ago. Had to start beers & shots a bit early, my backs murdering me. My new glasses I picked up today really help though, so that's something. So far though, I smell more roasty arabica in the wort than semi-sweet chocolate, like I did when I crushed it.

 

[govner1]

Planning a 6 gal batch of Cottage House Saison on Sunday.

 

[unionrdr]

My stout's sittin @ a firm 18C (64.4F) atm. Hasn't bubbled yet, but pegged the airlock centerpiece. Both fermenters full & looking at my grain stash to figure out what's next?

 

[philipCT]

Brewing a BCS American Amber. 10G. This will take the #1 tap when it's done - the anchor position for the new house beer list. If I can squeeze it in, I may also get 10g of Rye PA in the fermenter. There's no IPA or APA in the house right now so that's urgent. That'll take the #3 tap.

--
Currently on tap:
1- Trashy Blonde - a Centennial Blonde Ale
2- BCS Belgian Blonde
3- BCS American Brown Ale
4- BCS American Wheat - SWMBO now calls this "my beer" because I told her I brewed it for her

 

[cantrell00]

Bigfoot.

First barleywine.

 

[Eucrid]

Gonna make a chinook & mosaic session IPA tomorrow.

 

[unionrdr]

My stout's finally bubbling steadily. Was a bit slow this morning, but determined to get an orgy going...

 

[Xtynct]

I'm brewing a Citra Wheat using harvested Oberon Ale yeast!

 

[HomeDrewBrew]

Attempting my First Lager,Gna try the Quick Lager Method and see how it turns out!.

 

[Kharnynb]

All grain apa to fill up the cellar, trying dryhopping with this one for the first time.

 

[unionrdr]

Got a few ounces of Beam's Black soaking 1 1/2ozs of American white oak chips in the fridge to secondary with the stout in a couple weeks yesterday.

 

[frozennorth]

Spring is finally here and IPA season is just around the corner. A continuously hopped DIPA at about a 9 ABV should be nice in a month.

[pittsburghguy]

Brewing an Irish Red Ale.

 

[grrickar]

Shooting for two brews tomorrow - Mosaic IPA and an Old Rasputin RIS Clone. I haven't brewed in awhile and my bottled reserves are running low...

 

[1977Brewer]

Mosaic/Cascade pale is in the swamp cooler. SonRise IPA II is in the bottling bucket. Bottling after dinner. Turns out I can clean the garage while I brew.

Sounds like something SWMBO would point out.

Bottled my Belgo Paleo Belgian Pale Ale tonight...think it's good. No corn sugar...used table sugar. Fingers crossed!

[Crispyvelo]

Brewed my second all-grainer yesterday. Chose BierMuncher's Centennial Blond, because I want to have a good session/lawnmower brew that my wife will also like as the weather heats up. I checked this morning and we've got active bubbling! Additionally, I'm ordering kegging equipment so this might be my first try on the keg!

 

[chuckstout]

Finally brewed again, made a Chinook and Centennial Rye IPA.

Finally brewed again, made a Chinook and Centennial Rye IPA.

That is my favorite hop combo for a Rye IPA. Have one in the fermenter right now that is getting bottled next week. YUM

 

[okiepc]

Just brewed a big Red Ale, 6 gallons using Columbus hops. Getting ready to pitch the yeast when the temp is just right. A good brew day.:rockin:

 

[SteveH aka shetc]

Must be getting better at this brewing thing. Hit my mash temp, kept within 2 degrees for a 90 minute mash and produced exactly 5 gallons of beer after the boil. Hope it tastes good, too.
