So who's brewing this weekend?

[jaydlaw]

I'm waiting on my grains to arrive via fedex. Brewing a American Amber honey tomorrow.
Been working a shutdown all this month, now its time to brew some beer and relax a little.

Could you share the recipe? I am interested.

 

[Kozwald]

Sunday is brew day! Planning a Wheat Saison flavored with Orange and Lemon Grass.

Similar to a 5 gal batch I made. No biscuit, and different hops though. I used azacca and jarrylo since I had them on hand.
I also used hothead ale yeast from omega. I like it

Set to do 10g of enderwig's fizzy yellow beer tomorrow. gonna be serving it up at some parties, since it's a crowd favorite

 

[1977Brewer]

Me me! I am! Seems like it's been ages. Brewing up a Black Butte clone.

 

[philipCT]

Knocked out a Pliny clone yesterday. Hit the mash temps and pH dead-on - even with 4 ozs of Cascade mash hops. Didn't really think how mash-hops would affect pH.

Gravities were within tolerance too. Ended up with exactly 12g in the fermenter. That's maybe 1/2g shy since I'm bound to lose some vol with more than 8ozs of dry hopping coming up. Last year I double dry hopped per Vinny's original recipe. I also worked out a rig for CO2 hops rousing during the dry hop.

Pitched 500ml of 1056 slurry from previous batch. Good activity in the blowoff bucket this morning. I'm really excited about this beer. It's a busy beer to brew, but it was really fantastic last year.

There it goes

Hope there's something smoking in that Big Green Egg as well!

 

[4arrows]

Bottled 8 gal of Honey Hefeweizen Friday evening, till I ran out of bottles.
Got up early Saturday and brewed 13 gal of Belgian Wit with Orange zest and coriander.

 

[gometz]

I'm planning on brewing my first Munich Helles. I have only done a couple of lagers--Czech pils and Vienna. Any opinions on whether I should do a multi step mash or just a single infusion? Basically, with modern malts is the multi step really worth it? I'm using Best Malz pilsner for the base malt.

Decoction mash for a helles.

 

[twinfore]

Brewing 10 gallons of a vanilla porter. Than i will have all 6 taps filled!

 

[pascalxricher]

Probably my last one before the winter... I brewed a 80 Schilling.

 

[jfr1111]

Brewed an IIPA and the clamps on my immersion chiller failed, dumping unsanitary water in the wort and diluting it. The lawn was very hoppy to be watered. An afternoon and 35$ of hops wasted, along with the huge starter of 1968 I had made for it, since I won't be able to brew for like a month...



At least I kegged my pale ale this morning and from the small sample I had of it, it will be pretty good.

 

[gometz]

Brewing a tripel right now, but it looks like I missed my target og based on the pre boil sample. Going to sample at 15 minutes left in the boil and decide if I need to add DME (never had to yet, but desperate times).

 

[sleepspeaking]

No, unfortunately. This was only my third batch of beer, and my first all grain batch, and with no brew assistant my hands were full.

 

[BrianGee]

5 gallons of 1.060 porter in the fermenter with a decanted starter of Wyeast 1728. My 3rd brew, second on my own equipment. All went well other than an immediately clogged funnel filter during transfer. In the end I ditched the filter and will just let everything settle out. It's going to sit a long time anyway.

 

[PrairieDawg]

Just pitched the yeast into a three gallon BIAB of an Amarillo IPA.
Used Chinook to bitter, Chinook and Amarillo for aroma, will dry hop with Amarillo as well.
Only my second all grain BIAB.

 

[FatDragon]

Planned on 13.5L of long-boil barleywine. Efficiency was so high and the boil was taking so long that I flamed out at 18L and just a smidge below my intended OG. We'll find out how it is around this time next year. (Yeah right! I'm totally gonna cheat and drink some whenever it's finished bottle-conditioning!)

 

[1977Brewer]

Almost halfway done boiling the Black Butte clone. I am not accustomed to hop additions under the ounce level. Measuring them in grams threw me a little. 24 grams of hops total just feels weird.

 

[mattmmille]

No brewing this weekend, but I racked my "There Gose Sea Breeze" and added the grapefruit zest and hibiscus tea concentrate. Looks like a giant jar of cranberry sauce! Hopefully, it will be ready to bottle next weekend and will carb in time for Thanksgiving.

 

[Greg1Cruickshank]

Well, I brewed up my Scotch ale on Sat.
Wyeast 1728 once again in the holster. Damn it, I made too much wort even after a 120 min boil. And I know this yeast needs headspace. So since I'm a genius, I split the batch between my glass car boy and a bucket.

Yesterday it appeared that high krausan had come and gone so I figured it was safe to transfer the bucket beer to the carboy lot.

So I did that last night *idiot* I actually know better, but was hoping for the best.

I woke up this morning to half a gallon of scotch ale on my basement floor.

10 second rule?

I recently filled a carboy and underestimated the krausen action. Should have played it safe anyway. Can you say "blow- off tube"?

 

[Bulls Beers]

Brewing my winter dark lager.

 

[KindofBlues71]

I did a BIAB Sculpin IPA clone on Sunday afternoon, my first brewday in a LONG time. It was so great to get back to it and I'm going to do another BIAB this Saturday. Thanks go to my wife for suggesting I go to the homebrew store last Sat and get enough ingredients for two brewdays. The "Wife of the Year" award has been claimed!

This Sat I'm planning on brewing the "Softer, Juicier, and Uglier APA" recipe by the Mad Fermentationist. He actually made three beers from the same recipe: a Berliner at runoff, saison before whirlpool hop additions and an APA. I'm currently in the process of trying to figure out the numbers using Beersmith and converting it to my 5 gallon BIAB system. I'm no mathlete, so it's proving to be a challenge for me. I also had the crazy idea of splitting the Berliner wort and making a Gose, but that would be a super long brewday.

 

[lumpher]

Forget waiting for the weekend. I needed some time away from the family, on my own, so I'm cooking up just a fizzy yellow drinking beer. Coincidence? I think not.

Your wife might need to share the award with mine. I got the ok for a brewstravagansa Sunday. I extract brew and I have 7 recipes ready to go, hoping to do 3 or 4 of them. Can anyone say all day brewing and football![emoji482]

 

[Greg1Cruickshank]

Blow off =Serious necessity.
The problem is I always push the limits of 'not enough headspace'. It just seems so sad that it could be used as 'beer space'. But that never works out.

I need a wider diameter blow off tube. My 3/4 inch syphone tube just blows up like an airlock dumping beer on the floor.

 

[BadDeacon]

First competition this weekend and I turn 40. So, no brewing. I have Brewed for 2 months for the party!View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1446690384.597146.jpg
