So who's brewing this weekend?

[chisena]

Vanilla Porter tonight... After the kids are asleep

 

[Kharnynb]

making a chocolate vanilla stout from an old coopers stout kit I bought from the store when they were selling out kits that were going out of date.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

AG Pliny the Elder then added 5lbs grain for a Parti Gyle session IPA. Both batches got some what experimental hop addition technique. Bittering was all FWH, then @ 5min, then 2 whirlpool additions at 180F and 140F in attempt to not volatilize hop oils. Post boil sample was nice.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

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..

Sounds like a great plan...nothing taboo here!

 

[secondbase]

10 gallons of Xmas ale (dubbel grist with spices) to be split between 3787 and 3031.

 

[Mexibilly]

Heating strike water now for an IPA clone from the book SWMBO bought me.
Red ale tomorrow if I can get motivated...

 

[bam16me]

[BadDeacon]

Brewed and bottled Widow Maker Ale yesterday. Pitched yeast from cake about 5 min ago.

 

[DurtyChemist]

Brewing up a Doppelbock today. New recipe for me from a book I downloaded a few years ago when I started brewing. Drunk Monk Doppelbock

5lb Golden Promise
5 lb Belgian Pilsner
2lb Carapils
2 lb Munich 10L
1lb C60
.5 Chocolate
.25 Black Patent
1lb acid malt
Brun Water Black Malty adjustments for my water
Zurich Lager Yeast

Excited for my first lager in my mini fridge/ITC-1000 setup. I have no overall plan for days at specific temps so I'll probably just check the gravity like most people suggest.

 

[brewbama]

I re-brewed a Hobgoblin clone to correct some mistakes I made on my last attempt. All the errors were corrected but I induced another: boil over due to inattention. It's always something.

 

[singybrue]

Boiling up Denny's Wry Smile RyePA.
I love sunday morning brewing! Start off listening to American Routes followed by The United States of Americana on the local public radio station.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

brewing up an Imperial Stout right now. it's always in season.

 

[govner1]

Doing a 12 gal batch of a PumKing clone w/ a brew buddy.

 

[30_Ounce]

Brewing a Baltic Porter now...fermenting with WLP885. My 2nd lager...

 

[4arrows]

Friday night: Bottled 8 gal of Centennial Blonde Ale

Saturday Morning: Brewed 5 gal Dwarven Warrior Oatmeal Stout, and 10 gal of SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde

Saturday afternoon: Picked up freezer to begin Kegerator conversion.

 

[Einsteinonthebeach]

Brewed a 2.5 gallon batch of a Briess/Citra SMASH IPA, and guided a friend through his first brew, a dunkelweiss. Pitched Safale US-05, was working hard within 8 hours, smells great!

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I named the Imperial Stout "Coal Miner's Butt Sweat". 5 gallons came in at 1.102 and looking like an over due oil change.

Agreed, I hate it when I can't find stouts because they're "out of season", Imperial or not

Right on..sounds tasty! Just starting to name them. First up, RIS...Yoda Toe Jam.

 

[MEPNew2Brew]

Brewed up 6 gallons of ESB - pitching 1469 in 3 gallons and 1968 in the other 3.

 

[catdaddy66]

Going to try and get back on the horse after two infected batches. Went overboard on my sanitation to ensure good results. Next two batches will be Da Yooper's pale ale and a Jalepeno Cream of three crops ale...

 

[TheMadKing]

Brewed up 5 gallons of English Bitters yesterday. All-grain BIAB, hit 80% brewhouse efficiency, used tettenger and Willamette hops with just a touch of saaz. Pitched a big healthy starter of WY1098 and we were off to the races in about 3.5 hours.

Also kegged for the first time yesterday. I've got a big black IPA carbing. It should be ready in a few days!

 

[dstockwell]

Sounds like a great plan...nothing taboo here!

I was worried, this was the first time pitching a slurry. Racked IPA to secondary to dry hop. Gently swirled the the trub and kept 2 of the 3 cups (I brew 3 gallon batches) and popped in the fridge, this was on Thursday.

So now I'm brewing on Saturday, so far nothing had separated in what I saved so I shook up the slurry and pitched one cup (likely over pitched) into an APA and after 24 hours their was nothing. Oh crap, I do have US-05 if needed that's when I started googleing how long it takes for a slurry to start.

So I decided to wait it out, some posts said don't worry give it time. Glad I did 36 hours later we have liftoff.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

I've only done it a couple times. But I scheduled the brew so I was able to dump wort onto trub. Within hours had action. Once I saved trub to reuse, but early on in my hb brewing days, so it didn't ferment right. As long as everything is sanitized should be fine.

 

[JonM]

Doing a favorite dunkelweizen recipe.
