[alagaren]

I just could not Wait to brew,Started when i got home from work. And here i am at 3 at night waiting for the wort to boil.

 

[mattmmille]

No Brewing, but going to bottle 5 gallons of Blueberry-Muscadine Wine. Did a straight muscadine last year (about 2 gallons) and put it in beer bottles. Tomorrow, I'm going to the LHBS and rent a floor model corker and buy some wine bottles/corks and make these look official.

 

[gspot]

Brewing a batch of Bell's Two Hearted clone right now.

Wound up brewing a raspberry hefeweizen for my wife instead. Its boiling now.

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Wrong thread..but if I don't get too tanked, doing a hard lemonade for xmas....mango or raspberry don't know yet.

Edit: completed! Hopefully 10-Fidy next weekend.

 

[Bigstaubbie]

Did my first Saison. Just made a diy stir plate, works awesome. Beer smells good, can't wait.

 

[hanuswalrus]

Mashing in a foreign extra stout right now.

 

[Cider123]

Made some type of Irish red I think. Ended up around 1.046. I picked the grains based on how I was feeling at the time. I think it was:

6# MO
.75 flaked oats
.5 victory
.5 crystal 60
.5 C-150 (more like .4 and then a handful of C-80)
.25 roasted barley

1oz fuggles@60
.25oz magnum@60
1oz fuggles @20

mashed 154F
pitched S-04 at 64F

I think it's too much barley as it looks pretty dark. I should have cut back, with all that 150. We'll see

Not that I'm an Irish Red expert, but whats IBUs? Also, will 04 give too much English fruity flavors?

I'm certainly not an expert either. I have no idea what the IBU's are. I just figured the fuggles alone would make it too plain, so I threw in a little magnum to give it some bite.

The 04 may very well produce those flavors (maybe not so much at 64F) but I would think the overpowering raisiny flavor of the .5 lb of crystal 150 would mask it anyway

I'll let ya know how it comes out.

 

[CA_Mouse]

5 gallons of Dry Mead and 10 gallons of Drew Beecham's Magnum Blonde.

 

[PrairieDawg]

Just wrapped up my first batch with the new Wilser Brew bag.
A batch of a Cascadia Dark Ale of my own design.

Yes, i'm curious!

Next 10-Fidy attempt Wednesday. Using San Diego Super Yeast in this one.

 

[Michigan_Wolfman]

After a long hiatus from brewing, the Michigan Wolf Man returns to our little obsession. On deck tonight, I have an Adventures In Homebrewing Frozen Flame Steam Beer kit. Currently lacking a means of temperature controlled lagering, I opted for SafAle US-05, which has always been my "go to" dry yeast.

 

[BadDeacon]

Finally bottled some C3C after 6 weeks in primary as well as a 1 gal test batch of hard Root Beer!

 

[timdillon36]

Brewed 2 10G batches today. An IPA and a lite. That puts me at almost 60G in fermenters but only 10 packaged. The cider is going so slow and wine even slower. It might have to secondary in the keg. I have 40G of space there.

 

[GrogNerd]

first time brewing in over a year & a half, will be cloning Deschutes' Fresh Squeezed IPA this Friday.

was planning on using WLP001, but the local homebrewing microbiologist/mad yeast scientist offered a free pitch of his latest ale strain for testing

 

[Greg1Cruickshank]

I'm doing a festa brew Cab Sav wine kit tomorrow.

 

[okiepc]

Just this morning brewed a nice Blonde Ale extract, 6 gallons. Went pretty much according to recipe but I lost control at the end of the boil and added 1 ounce of Columbus pellet hops. I knew I should have hid those hops till I was finished, Oh well.
So now I have 6 gallons bottled & 6 gallons fermenting. The ones that are bottled (American Ale) will be ready to try Christmas Eve, good timing. First brew came out at 6.3 ABV. Blonde should be the same.

Think it is time to order a couple more kits, been having good luck with MoreBeer extract kits.

 

[wtaylor3]

Attempted to brew today, but ran out of propane right after the 60 min hop addition. Tried to finish in the house, but I work 3rd shift and it was approaching 4pm by now.

So I killed the flame put the lid on the pot and placed in the bathtub. Hoping I can pick up with a 60 min boil in the morning, not sure what's gonna happen to my hop utilization though.

 

[WestCoastBrew]

Planning on brewing up a grapefruit sculpin clone!

 

[bobeer]

Just got finished cleaning up from making a chocolate milk stout. I'm out of town this weekend and kegged my only beer a few days ago. Not having anything fermenting drives me crazy!

Thats annoying. My last batch I was worried about running out but decided to weight my tank and thought there was enough. And there was.

Anyway, you may see a minor increase in your IBUs from the problem. I think your worst case scenario is a 10% increase. Any extra aroma you get from soaking (like a pre-boil dry hop, lol) will just boil off.

Got a kit of irish red Iv been trying 2 brew ...hopefully this weekend
