So who's brewing this weekend?

[philipCT]

Setting up for a Saturday brew of an APA for a friend's birthday next month. I'll really have to move this through the pipeline crisply to make the date.

My Oktoberfest I brewed ~2 months ago or so just finished bottle conditioning, so I will be moving a few bombers over to the fridge for a week or so tonight... Going to have a little "Oktoberfest" complete with steins, sausage and all that good stuff for the release with family.

I will be cleaning bottles tonight in preparation for my imperial stout bottling tomorrow, which is currently cold crashing. May split 1-1.5 gallon off the 5 or so brewed and use maple syrup (grade B syrup my aunt made) instead of priming sugar to see if I get any flavor out of it.

This Saturday I am brewing an IPA as I just have one bottle left of my IIPA brewed previously. Going to have 2-row, munich, Vienna and victory in the malt bill... Hops include Ahtanum, Simcoe, Amarillo, Mosaic and homegrown cascades. Plan to do some first wort hopping, whirlpool at 170F, etc... Also be the first I adjust the water for (just start doing that two batches ago). Also got my O2 kit in so I can force O2 prior to fermentation. Gonna be a fun one.

Gonna brew a cream of three crops recipe! Am missing brewing since my last two attempts were infected. Sanitizing like a beast so it won't happen this time.

 

[jake-k]

I had the day off so brewing an IPA today! Trying out a new recipe. Great way to spend a hump day afternoon.

 

[MagicRat]

Taking my first shot at a Belgian tripel - keeping it simple: Belgian pils, 1/2 lb. aromatic, WLP 500, about 30 ibu tettnager and saaz, and a couple pounds of cane sugar.

 

[catdaddy66]

Heating strike water now! Got my grain, hops and other additions ready to add. Had to run an errand for my daughter's birthday or I'd be boiling by now...

Late night brew session tonight. Brewing a 100% Pearl malt ale for an experiment my brew club is doing. Everyone brews the same hop bill and uses the same yeast (bitter with Magnum, ferment w/ WY1098). Same mash temp, target OG, IBUs, etc. Only variable is we all chose a different base malt and it must be 100% of the bill.

 

[stella_tigre]

Have a belgian tripel simmering away. Extract, only the third one, the first two came out so well (fat tire and sierra nevada pale ale clones,) might try a biab or at least a partial mash next time...

 

[Qhrumphf]

About to fire up strike water and mill up Irish Red grains.

It's a long weekend up here in Canuckistan, I'm planning on doing 2 brews: A Bohemian Pilsner, and a Zythos Pale Ale. I've had the Zythos hops in my freezer for a couple of years, I figure I might as well use them up. I started the yeast starter for the BoPils last night - 5 liters! It's a huge starter! I haven't decided which day to brew though, probably Sunday.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Taught a buddy how to brew hard Lemonaid. Starting with the easy stuff. Ten-fidy v3.0, in 2 weeks.

 

[Buc_Nasty]

I'm brewing my first IPA recipe, I figured it's about time stop buying kits.

 

[erick0619]

Ill be brewing up my first lager. First brew day with my pops.

 

[lumpher]

[pricelessbrewing]

Brewed up a riff on Zombie Dust. Notes can be seen here

 

[Hammy71]

Flying Dog hasn't released their Hoppy Wheat since last year and I liked it. Been on the bucket list since and having a go this morning.

 

[Xhul]

I'm going to brew an ipa with Pearl malt, fermented with conan, and hopped with centennials grown on my porch. I have no idea what kind of alpha acids they may have so we'll just see how it turns out. I'll probably toss some simcoe in the dryhop.

 

[Lepetitnormand]

mashing as we speak

happy brew day

 

[Scriv]

Heretic is brewing for me this weekend, I'm just picking it up at an AHA rally.

 

[catdaddy66]

Pitched the yeast after my gravity was spot on at 1.048. Hope to see some activity here very soon!

 

[gestyr]

I just finished brewing a brown ale that I pitched some wild yeast that I captured. Hoping for the best. The starter smelled good ... somewhat fruity ... so I am keeping my fingers finged.

That is cool. I captured some wild yeast about 2 years ago and I have turned it into my house saison yeast. Good luck. I like the idea of owning a yeast that is your own.

Keep us posted on how it turns out.

I will. This my second attempt at capturing. My first was a failure but a learning experience. I bought a couple of plums from the local farmers market that had a nice coating of yeast on them. I used them to make a starter and it came out smelling beyond foul. lol This time I left a jor of wort covered with cheesecloth on the front porch porch overnight. Like I said, it smells fruity.

 

[beergolf]

Cool

Here is the thread of my capture.. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=419725

Give it a chance and you may be rewarded with a good brew. You never know.
