So who's brewing this weekend?

[jlinz]

Did a coconut porter yesterday and going to do my first all grain biab tomorrow, a Scottish ale.

 

[lumpher]

Just about to add the flameout addition to an all first gold esb.

 

[z-bob]

I'm bottling this weekend, and generally cleaning the place up. I am trying to revive some Wyeast 1762 slurry that's been in my fridge for a long time. If it wakes up, I'll brew a patersbier next weekend. If not, I might still brew a patersbier and pitch T-58 or Abbeye.

I made it from Thanksgiving to Christmas w/o gaining any weight, then let my guard down and gained almost 10 pounds last week. I feel like a sausage. Been drinking beer like it was water; gotta start drinking water like it was water, and beer like an occasional treat for a while. Brewing a low-alky beer will help.

Going to brew tomorrow. A simple SMASH.

First brew of the new year.

First all grain brew.

And it will be my first "personal" brew in over a year. Life happens and sometimes gets in the way of our hobbies. Had a new child (4 is a bit hectic) and got 3 people into brewing. So I have helped and participated with them, but now to take care of myself.

About to mash in on Basic Yellow beer BYB (recipe at brewtoad). It is a good light blonde ale to just keep around. Also have to bottle up 5 gallons of Miller the Muggle. Add yeast nutrient to a couple of lagers to help them get down in FG... kinda a busy home brew day.

 

[Pantherjon]

Going to start a 1G Chocolate Maple Porter

Then, if I am feeling ambitious, I just may break out the big-un and start a 5G brew! Not sure what it will be, I only have 6 choices!...LOL

 

[corkybstewart]

Tomorrow I'm gonna brew a nice pale ale, nothing extreme so I can have a good yeast cake for a robust smoked porter in 2 weeks.

 

[lefort3]

10 gallons of my double chocolate milk stout and 5 gallons of my kolsch yesterday. Bubbles & more bubbles now. Happy Brew Year!

I will split the stout into five that ages in a bourbon barrel and the other five will go straight to nitro when ready.

 

[BrooklynTom]

The wife and I just finished a Belgium pale ale with a touch of sweet orange peel at flame out. Looking forward to the first pour in about two months.

 

[SeraW]

Brewing up an American Brown on Monday. Starter fired up.

 

[gotbeer74]

Brewing a Baltic Porter. Just started a 90 minute boil. Using a yeast cake from a steam beer I just racked over to secondary.

 

[bartcal]

My NYE was spent brewing an Oatmeal Stout - my first partial mash, so I'm curious to see how it turns out.

 

[Oginme]

I brewed a dunkel as my last brew of 2015 on NYE. Then started 2016 with an early morning brew of a helles. Today, I finished off cooling down a traditional bock to add to the fermentation chamber. Yup, it's lager season here in the northeast!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

English nut brown ale in the fermenter yesterday.

 

[badlee]

Starter wort for four Brett cultures and for my Abbaye

 

[Tactical-Brewer]

My weekends a little different than the standard Fri-Sun but I am brewing a New Castle Clone Monday or Tuesday evening

 

[DroolingNeoBrewery]

Brewed up the ESB today. Hydrometer sample was fantastic! Looking forward to this one.

 

[Pantherjon]

@johnmac22 busy man! I just moved to a new house, no SWMBO(yet) and same old job...Well, 1 out of 3..LOL...

Anyway, I am off on Tuesdays, so when I got home tonight I went ahead and did the lazy man way and brewed an all extract...Supposed to be a Vienna Lager, but seems pretty dark for a lager..BUT, we shall see.. Just MIGHT get ambitious and bottle my #3 batch..But I really do need to get on to a 5G batch as I have a big get together coming end of April and need more then a sixer(Big group thing), and IF I get started sooner rather then later it will give it a chance to condition and be some GOOD beer and not just OK..Anyone have any 'motivation pills'?LOL

 

[masonsjax]

Today I tested out my new 70 qt coleman mash tun and new 5500w ekeggle. Brewed 10 gals of smoked brown ale and partigyle 10 more gals after that.

 

[chudsonvt]

I was planning on ice fishing but not sure if there will be enough ice. I was not planning on brewing this weekend so I ordered a grain bill online for an amber when I fit it in the schedule. Won't be here in time so I guess I'll likely be going to the local shop for a Centennial Columbus Blonde recipe I'm throwing together for SWMBO.

Saccharomyces Belgian PA for me. Hoping to get some crawfish to boil but that depends on the weather. Couple days this week the high was in the low to mid 50's. Warming up as we get closer to the weekend but should cool down by Sunday which is my planned brew day.

I've wondered if I used my brew pot for crawfish if it would ruin it for brewing. Do you use a separate pot?

 

[gometz]

Brewing my Helles yet again, but this time mashing a little higher and using only Amarillo hops. Still shooting for about 20 IBU, but with first wort hopping and a big late addition.

 

[chisena]

More Caribou Slob on Sunday but I will be using WLP001 from last Pale Ale instead of Windsor Ale Yeast.

 

[Elkobrewer]

First brew of 2016 will go down this weekend.

 

[Pkrd]

Just chilling 10L of Beetroot wit. 500g of grated Beetroot in the mash, great red colour in the mash that turned orange and then brown during the boil. I'm assured the red will return during the ferment.

 

[erick0619]

God willing and this rain clears up il be brewing a de konink clone finally going to use this wlp 515 yeast.

 

[Invertalon]

I am brewing an Azacca Single Hop IPA Saturday... I have my half pound of hops and malt/yeast set to go, but I am debating about wanting to throw in a pound of white wheat into the mash... I don't have any so it would require a trip to the LHBS, so I debate... lol

 

[Terek]

not this weekend, but i brewed a wookie jack clone, bottled 10 gallons, and started 2 one gallon ciders yesterday. I was flying solo, and wasnt keeping track of my drinking. Im usually pretty good at controlling myself, but 7 hours in the brew room alone, and ya stop caring i guess

For the first time in years, i woke up with a hangover.......sippin coffee at my desk now......

 

[Tactical-Brewer]

Terek, I dig the hop trap!
