So who's brewing this weekend?

[Beernik]

It could be a brew made in memorium...

I need to brew something! It's been a month since my last session.

It's been about half a year for me since my last brewday.

Saw my neighbor tonight. The elder sister fell and broke her hip, again. She just got out of surgery.

Brewing is still probably off for the weekend. It's too late to pick up ingredients today. But next Saturday is looking pretty good. Maybe I can think of something I'll be more exited to brew than a bunch of Orval.

Decided to brew a Munich Helles at the last minute, more or less. Couldn't really justify 4 movies again like yesterday. Gotta be active at least one day of the 3-day weekend.

 

[EtchyLives]

I put the ESB into the fermentation chamber last night. This morning it was at the proper temperature and bubbling away quietly. Now I'm getting away with my wonderful wife (who fully supports my hobby) to the city for a few nights away together.

So far a good weekend.

Brewed up a Kolsch this weekend, right now it's sitting in my new fermenter (wine fridge, nothing fancy) at a solid 60 degrees.

 

[dhelegda]

Brewed a Boston Lager clone, it is currently being cooled in the lager fridge!

Here's my batch, straight off the boil and chillingView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1436127159.426781.jpg

 

[Carros]

Have a batch of Flanders red boiling now. It will be tacked onto a roeselare cake that my previous batch has been sitting on for the last six weeks.

 

[Komodo]

Maybe I can think of something I'll be more exited to brew than a bunch of Orval.

Wha?! That sounds awesome. Try a bunch of Duvel instead.

Wha?! That sounds awesome. Try a bunch of Duvel instead.

I'm doing a black wheat beer now. Not a Hefe, more of a Wit without the tart, orange, or coriander. Or maybe it's better described as a wheat porter/stout with subdued roasty character.

I'm splitting the 8 gallons with my ... My wife's second cousin's husband. I guess that's a second cousin-in-law? Puerto Rican families...

But, I finally have a brew buddy.

Just doughed in dubbeldach's watermelon wheatView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1436313157.506644.jpg

 

[govner1]

Doing an Edmund Fitzgerald Porter on Friday w/ my daughter.
Have a Red Headed Rye Child planned for Sunday.

Orange American Wheat put down tonight. Used Liberty instead of Hallertauer, forgot the 30 minute hops so they went in at 10.

I really need to start drinking while brewing so I have an excuse for screwups.

Seems very similar to what I am doing next week. I am using tettnang and Liberty, and a blood orange syrup that morebeer has.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

After tentative brewing plans have fallen through over six of the last eight weeks, I'm going to brew this weekend (or someone's going to get hurt!) With luck I'm going to get in three batches - a saison, a lambic style and then a barleywine or IPA. Hopefully I survive all that in the 90 degree weather.

 

[Psylocide]

Going to try to sneak in a batch this weekend and doing a Cream ale tonight.

@Qhrumphf 's mild is up next.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Will be hitting LHBS tomorrow and probably midweek starting a sour mash for a partigyle Gose and Lichtenhainer.

 

[MNSmitty]

Will be brewing my annual imperial stout on my sons birthday, tomorrow. Going to hope for a partigyle brown ale as well.

 

[tfbrews]

DIPA on Friday night, biggest beer I have done on my system yet...then Mandarina Blonde on Sunday.

 

[Snisup]

Doing a 10g batch of a British Golden Ale on Sunday.

 

[wtaylor3]

Cream of three crops today hopefully, that'll give me two fermenting at once and hopefully they'll last won't be able to brew for a couple weeks

 

[Eucrid]

Just finished brewing a pale ale with Centennial, Cascade and Galaxy.

 

[BadDeacon]

If all works out.... c3c tomorrow afternoon after getting back from the beach.

 

[Beernik]

This guy is finally brewing again. I checked my log and it's been nearly a year.

But in that time I haven't been sitting idle. I have a cooler for sparge water now. I installed a valve and thermometer in my keggle. I got my grain mill set up yesterday. I also built a recirculation system for my IC.

It's almost like losing my virginity again.

Today I'm drinking beer, clearing the brew area (garage), testing **** out, and verifying system loss assumptions.

And it looks like I'm right on 75 minutes for boiling 10 gallons of water.

 

[Peruvian802]

Brewing with the club at Hapgood Pond tomorrow (Google that ****, I don't have the linky).

Double crush for the BIAB Cascadian Dark Ale.

Ain't no such thing as Black IPA!

 

[gometz]

Brewing a helles with Mandarina hops tomorrow.

Other brewing related items:
- Bottling a normal helles from the keg
- Kegging an export I brewed with Azacca hops
- Moving a saison made with 3724 to the garage so it'll warm up and finish fermenting

I also have the labels "designed" for 6 batches I have ready (the labels will be mainly to identify them in my bottle collection). Just need to get the ink tomorrow. Dreading labeling 145 bottles.

 

[aprichman]

Brewed a pale ale with all vienna malt and hopped with 40 IBU of columbus (60 min & 10 min) and el dorado (5 min) and a 25 minute 170F hopstand using 2 oz of hops (1:1 columbus:el dorado). This is the first time I've brewed a base malt only beer, the first time using wyeast 1332 (pacific nw ale), AND the first time using my chest freezer / STC-1000 fermentation chamber.

 

[Jcruse]

Brewed 8.5 gallons of oatmeal stout last night, and pitched the yeast this morning (couldn't chill it below 80 degrees with the warmer groundwater). Will keg 5 gallons and put the other 3 in secondary on top of raspberries, cocoa nibs, and vanilla bean (chocolate decadence inspiration) and bottle after secondary. While my 32 IBU is within style for oatmeal stout, it might be too bitter for the chocolate/raspberry version, so I anticipate I'll have to age it for a while for the bitterness to fade.

 

[ChelisHubby]

B rewed a blonde and did my first attempt at FWH I probably came in low if you can believe brewers friend software. I just don't see how you can only get 70% of the bitterness from the extra time.

 

[Pkrd]

No brewing beer, I did bottle a gallon of 15 month old JOAM though.

Hmmm, now I have an empty gallon carboy.... I guess I can put beer in it

 

[wtaylor3]

Just doughed in 5 gallon batch of co3c. Hopefully this time I don't brew carbonated water
