So who's brewing this weekend?

[brew703]

SNPA clone, either today or tomorrow morning.

Well, shiz just got real. Stove wouldn't turn off last night. Peppers coming in today & tomorrow, gotta get spring water & ice today to chill a couple gallons for top off...if we can get the stove to work until I can get another one. I have the Cooper's ordinary bitter & Hellfire IIPA to brew this weekend. Dang, tell me again how I need this!...
**- Looking through my e-mail, I had an ad to best buy cc customers for a sale on all kinds of things. They had a Whirlpool smooth-top convection range $270 off in SS, so i used my card to get a new one. Won't get it till Wednesday though, so I'll have to see if the old one will work for two brew days. It has 5 burners, one really big one with this quick-boil-whatever function. Should be a nice improvement to my brew days? Good thing the bottom of my kettle isn't warped. Now if they could just deliver it tomorrow...sale was on-line only, so no local option to speed things up. But it'll be nice. The old one came with the house when we built it, so it's at least 15 years old.

I have to assume that 18oz of hops aren't all for one recipe lol

Why not? I used 16 oz in my last DIPA. I wouldn't mind throwing in 2-4 oz more haha

 

[finsfan]

gonna brew up a Twin Towers hoppy wheat in about an hour after work.

Brewing a double chocolate porter on monday. First christmas beer on the list. Scratching me head for a catchy name though.

 

[slym2none]

I have an Irish red scheduled for next Friday, and I have two recipes for one. One is an extract recipe, and the other is the Raging Irish Red from here.

I am seriously thinking this might be my first AG (BIAB) beer ever...

I sure hope so! I'm several brews behind this year.
The weather is turning cool, and the local brew club is having an IPA contest in November so I'm going to skip the wit and the saison and jump ahead to something more substantial.

English IPA (4 gallons)
9 lbs American pale ale malt (because I have it already)
8 oz Crystal malt, 60L
5 oz Biscuit malt
20g Nugget or Magnum hops, 15AA @ 60 minutes (will probably use Nugget)
1 oz Willamette @ 15 minutes
1 oz Willamette @ 5 minutes
S-04 yeast

Looks like I'm brewing up my Christmas Ale so it will be fully ready and mature by Christmas (or sooner). I can hear the pleasant tinkle of the stir bar spinning in the starter flask right now.

Naughty & Nice? Ooh... use Nottingham yeast and call it Notty & Nice Double Chocolate Porter!

Brewed more Zombie Dust Wed. Previous batch was about 85% cloned. Needed more bitterness. So I sub'd some hop extract for my 60 min, and up'd the hop burst. Ended up using the flameout addition as a whirlpool and added it @ 170F and whirlpooled for 30 min... Think I will even do a dual dryhop. It cant come out less hoppy than before, which isnt a bad thing

 

[fimpster]

I got home from work around 6:30 tonight and around 7 decided to brew. Had everything on hand for @brulosopher 's (m)Oktoberfest, including enough yeast not to have to make a starter, so it's a go! About halfway through the mash right now.

 

[alagaren]

Brewing up a Brown porter this morning. First brew on an all new electric system

 

[wtaylor3]

Got ingredients for a pumpkin ale and a Vienna/centennial smash, hoping to get at least one brewed today before the Spartan class but I have my concealed weapons class today so we'll see

 

[Lost_Arkitekt]

So...it's been awhile since I brewed, and posted at all on here. This past week I brewed 10.5 gallons of American Blonde and the same amount of Irish Red and ESB. Names, in order, are 6th Row Window Seat (had some 6-Row in their), Red's Shawshank Ale, and Great Lakes Bail-Out ESB. The last one was so named because a brew club member didn't brew the promised 5 gallons, so I brewed to bail us out. We would have been 5 gallons short of the 30 gallons.

 

[unionrdr]

Gonna do a quick Cooper's English bitter today. 1 gallon of which will be malt vinegar later.

Love the Shawshank Redemption reference. Love that movie.

 

[unionrdr]

I like Morgan Freeman in that one. It's like listening to your grandfather telling you things.

 

[DerrangedPOJO]

Gonna Brew something well an experiment with the unidentified hops i grew. Hopefully its awesome. otherwise its gonna be drain cleaner. Started my starter today and tomorrow ill brew.

 

[unionrdr]

Warming up the ingredients for the bitter. Gotta make sure the spigot on the FV is clean & sanitized.

 

[eko]

I decide to take a stab at Charlie's old coconut curry hefeweizen. Smelled delicious while cooking it up. Time to go chill it, pitch, & clean up.

 

[beerplumber]

Brewing this tomorrow!

[lumpher]

Putting a dunkelweizen into the fermenter now

 

[jschein]

Flocckin rain. Cant brew, no smokin, flocckin yard is 2 inches underwater iN 10 minutes. Pissed now. But fedex guy just delivered my new 2 tap tower. Life is good.

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah, at least you got that to help improve your day. Darn rain & cold air got my back & hips achin'...on the brew weekend I've been planning for for so long too. Dang it! Got the fermenter ready & 4G spring water on to boil for the Cooper's English bitter.

 

[z-bob]

English-style IPA is mashing right now. Wife even commented how good it smells.

Screw it, just put the water on. Rain cant f with me only because i just went to ollies and got a tarp, i am brewing now. FTW

 

[jschein]

And yeah, the new tower rocks! Did I say I am drinkin from it now on another post? If not sorry again. Checking out the wife is cranky.

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah, that's what I said, marthafloccit! I dood it anyway! I'm planning on a 3 keg kegerator with the three tap tower myself. It would just fit the area I stack my boxed empties in now. Getting rid of most of these bottles would leave a lot more room in here. And the bottling table would be the size of the desk I wish I could find to replace this comp hutch thing. It's getting nastie & old anyway. So the kegerator would allow me to really clean out the ol' man cave/brewery. Hm...that'd be a good name...Man Cave Brewery...

 

[Brizzo]

Doing a Flanders red tonight or tomorrow. I have to bottle a sour saison that's been on apricots for a few months at some point. Not enough time in a brew day

 

[jschein]

Marthafloccit! Love it. My new tagline; if I can't fix it, marthaflocca it! Marthaflocca !
