aaaaannnnd a seven hour brewday comes to a close. Did the main brew and a partigyle. everything except the kitchen floor is cleaned and stowed. Pitched the main brew and am chilling the partigyle batch.

 

[EtchyLives]

Nope. No Brewing this weekend but I am bottling up close to 400 bottles for an upcoming function. This is my first "event" and so far so good. Centennial Blonde tastes pretty good despite being warm, green, and uncarbonated. It should be real nice in a few weeks.

 

[Zepth]

I am going to try making my first English Mild on Sunday morning. Going to give no chill for a shot, adjust hops accordingly. Hopefully all goes well.

 

[Devon]

Just finished brewing a batch of Santa Baby Spiced Holiday Ale, then partigyled another gallon onto a yeast cake from a batch of Belgian blonde.

Long day and I'm pretty much gassed but I put up a blonde and a hoppy near-IPA today, both with all home-grown hops...



Cheers!

I started a Pannepot Reserva from CSI
http://www.candisyrup.com/uploads/6/0/3/5/6035776/pannepot_gran_reserva_-_041.pdf

I like their recipes, this one will be a long term bottle aged brew. I may do a partigyle. I had great results doing a porter from their RIS recipe. Free beer!

Really interesting recipe. The 124f Protein Rest caught my eye. This seems rare in today's recipes. Can anyone explain why this particular recipe would have that?

That's a pretty looking beer.

My limited understanding is that it is due to the terrified wheat. What I've seen is that for unmalted grain it is advisable.

The CSI recipes seem to be well thought out and researched/tested, I'm using them as part of my learning curve.

Hmm, missed opportunity: the Pliny recipe has terrified wheat in it but doesn't include a protein rest.

Side thought: what has that wheat got be be all terrified about? Is it a Halloween thing?

It must have been afraid of the masher. Stupid autocorrect.

Going to brew Da Yooper's pale ale (10gal) at a fund raiser. My local LHBS was hit hard by the flooding last month and he and some fellow veterans are going all uour to raise money for his shop and others in the strip mall. All in all, a very good cause!

Just mashed in for a Cherrywood smoked porter. Smells just a little different than a usual brew day.

 

[Zepth]

Just about to pull out the hop bag on my first no chill batch. Chilling in the kettle and could only find conflicting into on whether or not to pull the hops or leave them in until transferring. Seems divided between "longer contact time = +IBU" and "Oils are gone from them already, isomerization will happen anyways." Err on the side of caution I suppose.

Looks and smells great so far. Also experimenting with a few less conventional things going on at once. Short mash (30 mins, iodine test was complete at 20), short boil (30 min), no chill. Done the first two individually without problem, time to combine them and see how it goes. 3 hours from start (measuring and milling) to now. If I wasn't pulling the hop bag from the kettle, it would be down to 2 1/2. Good time for 10g batch. If this turns out well I might just modify all recipes to fit the schedule.

 

[Brizzo]

Mashing out of a lambic that I am going to spontaneous ferment tonight (hopefully with good bacteria and yeast- see that allagash has been using their coolship and I am going to follow their lead)

 

[RothRock]

Brewed an All Grain Festivus Miracle beer today smelled so good can't wait to Keg it 1.066 OG

 

[specharka]

Belgian DIPA was an enormous success today! 1.080 OG, 92% brew house efficiency between the beer and second runnings (preserved for future starters).

Upcoming brew of a 6 gal AG Red IPA.

 

[Genghis]

Hopefully an early morning Common Room ESB on Saturday.

 

[Sailingeric]

I should be able to put down about 5 gallons of amber recipe I made. It has been raining every weekend for the last few weeks so have not been able to brew outside, but this weekend it should be dry.

 

[BaylessBrewer]

Brewing up a Triple Chocolate Milk Stout Friday morning.

 

[chisena]

Brewing NB's Caribou Slobber using some washed WLP001. I might accidentally slip some bugs into it after primary fermentation has ended.

 

[govner1]

I have a 6 gal AB batch of my Red IPA planned for Saturday.

 

[Peruvian802]

Later today I'm brewing a 'holiday cheer' for a friend's Xmas party.
