So who's brewing this weekend?

[wtaylor3]

Not sure what to do, I have some grain for a batch however I messed up and it's way darker than the recipe called for. At the same time I'm not sure that it'll be great by itself.

Oh well still have to bleed the pressure off a keg of watermelon wheat that's force carbing, finish my temp controller box, finish the kegerator and dry hop my centennial/Vienna smash beer hopefully all today

 

[Kharnynb]

making a batch of deathbrewer's vienna/nb smash, slightly adjusted to my own taste.

That double pitch of US-05 is still goin' stark ravin' berzack in my pepper IIPA this morning. Good thing the lid fits tighter than the ale pail's did!

 

[brew703]

Sacred Summit with Denny's favorite is now in the fermenter- within 4 hours fermentation stated and pretty vigorous.

 

[Zepth]

Happy to say I made it work out and squeeze in a brew without flaking on other plans. Still have an afternoon/evening plan going on, and my regular scheduled early afternoon thing. Social gathering yesterday that lasted from noon till about 18:00 as well.

Ended up mashing in last night right before bed, and just getting my boil on now for a second take of Yoopers Oatmeal Stout. Great stuff.

 

[day_trippr]

Put two trappist style brews into the pipeline today, one using wy3787 and the other is the Spencer Abbey's yeast.

The former has become a favorite recently, and I'm really looking forward to having the latter on tap...

Cheers!

 

[punkrawkgeek]

Made a pale ale last with lots of cascade. Tonight I'm just bring a brown Ale to a boil. Added pumpkin and acorn squash to the mash... Looking forward to it. Still deciding if I should add any pumpkin pie spice to it....

 

[SquidPope]

Happy to report that after a few hours post-pitch on Saturday with no visible activity, my saison stout spent all day Sunday fermenting with a nice healthy krausen and lots of CO2 production

I was a bit worried, since I was using a half-vial of yeast left over from a couple of weeks ago. But I woke it up in a starter and all seems to be well!

 

[BaylessBrewer]

Gonna be brewing the Common Room ESB recipe from the recipe section here on HBT. Got a 1L starter of WLP013 on the plate last night and all the good and grains are ready to go.

 

[hanuswalrus]

Brewing a Vienna / Galaxy SMaSH tomorrow. Fresh 2015 Galaxy crop ordered from Yakima Valley Hops

 

[jschein]

Brewing has been canceled due to weather. I gotta get me one of those fancy electric indoor setup thingys.

 

[unionrdr]

Won't be brewing, but my bucket & bags came in finally. If the English bitter is done, maybe Sunday I can make a gallon of malt vinegar & bottle 5 gallons.

 

[BrianGee]

My first solo brew on my own equipment tomorrow (my second ever brew). Doing a simple Hefeweizen kit from my LHBS. I wanted something easy that's also ready quickly since I don't have any kind of pipeline in place.

 

[Zekk]

Left Hand Milk Stout clone recipe from here is on deck. Just have to get water and that final approval from SWMBO.

 

[pricelessbrewing]

Tiny batch # 3. Chicago apartment life.

8 Bottles of Common room ESB are in the mash tun (slow cooker) atm. Holding a perfect 154F when set to low. Yay.

Don't let a tiny apartment hold you back. I've had 15-20 gallons fermenting at once in mine in downtown SF apt

Our old apartment had 12 gallons going at once. Mostly limited because I have to brew on the stovetop, no additional electrical heating sources allowed per the the lease agreement and I have no way to store/transport my 5gal batch equipment back from MI (it's in storage at my sisters house for a year~)

Currently have 4 gal going though.

I see. Yea I'm brewing on a crappy glass electric stove top. Super slow.

Edit: might just brew another 5 gallons today

Double edit: I did

Going to try a two gallon batch of Wee Heavy, BIAB style this weekend. I've never done the BIAB method, been looking forward to it for a while.

 

[tgolanos]

Long weekend for Labour Day for us. Let the brewing commence!

 

[Brizzo]

Doing a Pliny clone-either Saturday. Or Sunday. Got my hops from farmhouse, great price, fast delivery And I really like how they are packaged

What's your hop schedule like?

Best thing about electric - weekends like this one we're looking at in the Northeast (wet, wild and windy) are perfect for brewing!!!

Getting ready for a porter. My own recipe round 2View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1443842258.723222.jpg

 

[Dixon9717]

Brewed a Saison that I split in 1/2 to try the new Imperial yeast (Independence) vs US-05 harvested just to learn about Independence characteristics.

 

[dstockwell]

I know it's taboo for a secondary, but I think I'm going to transfer (after 2 weeks) on primary to secondary to dry hop, and harvest yeast from primary for next brew..

 

[brewshki]

Wishing I was brewing soon. I've been too busy to brew for about 3 weeks and have few opportunities in the next 2 weeks...

 

[nettekdl]

Brewing a bourbon barrel porter, a brochet and maybe sone spiced meads tomorrow

 

[CrimsonYeti]

As long as I recover well from the beer festival I am going to tonight. .... I plan on brewing a pumpkin cream ale.

 

[GaBrewZoo]

I just brewed a batch last night. SWMBOs amber ale. Her keg kicked Wednesday. That makes five batches in two weeks for me. The other four batches were all a blonde ale I made for my daughters wedding coming up next month.
