So who's brewing this weekend?

[ThirstyPawsHB]

I've been brewing 11 litre (sorry, 3 gallon) batches because I can get though this quicker and make more batches in a year (more practice, more different styles etc.) It's just a matter of adjusting the recipes correctly, but you can't use pre-hopped kits or they are too bitter. I boil my own hops.

Holy crap that sounds good! Love to hear the results in 12 months or so..

Don't know what just happened, was quoting MarkO22.

That's weird. The quote it placed was from 2005 on a completely different thread.

Anyway, ordered 3 kits (Ipa/Red/stout) from NB for 20.16 and items for a mosaic smash. Just got done with a hard lemonaid, which will end up as a raspberry. Something will be brewed.

Had the day off today and brewed a small BIAB batch of Irish stout on the stovetop. Maris Otter, flaked barley, black barley, 1 oz. EKG at 60, pitched 1084. Yielded 2.75 gallons--right on for volume. I always plan for 70% efficiency, but my crush must have been better today, as I overshot OG (1.050, instead of 1.043). That's a little over 80% eff.

 

[BrooklynTom]

No brewing, but I will be
kegging a Belgian pale ale and dry hopping another pale ale with all New Zealand hops. I guess I can call it a NZPA.

 

[BUCKNUTS]

3 day weekend for the holiday. Brewing an ipa on Monday.

Stone ruination brewed this morning. Subbed in Warrior for magnum, found I didn't have enough Warrior so put a little citra in too.

[MoodyLane]

As soon as I figure out a vegetable/fruit themed beer for my clubs next tasting I'll be brewing. I'm not sure what to do yet..

 

[Pantherjon]

Cucumber/peach?...LMAO...Yuck

No brewing for me this weekend..working Oh well..Might brew up a 1G batch of Pecan Pie tomorrow tho!

I'm not a huge fruit guy at all, but I really like the flavor of tamarind. I just added it to a dubbel, but it's carbing now. I also made a sour rye with it, but that won't be done for a few months. The tamarind wheat I had was really good.

I might suggest a tamarind saison, use a lot of wheat and do a ferulic acid rest. Then use 3724 and some citrus hops.

Oh and I'm brewing two pale ales Friday. One with Columbus, the other with the ales for ALS hop.

 

[MoodyLane]

I'm most likely going to use a wheat base, probably american and a clean yeast. I don't want too much yeast character unless I decide to make a banana bomb. Boy wouldn't that be an easy one!

 

[BUCKNUTS]

Brewing an ipa in the cold

One of my favorite fruit beers I have done to date was an American Raspberry Wheat. Can PM you the recipe if interested

Planning my maiden 5 gal extract brew of either Caribou Slobber Brown Ale or Irish Stout this weekend. Leaning towards running the ale first most likely.

Busy busy weekend. Pale Mild on Friday after work. On Saturday, bottle Belgian Blonde, Kitchen Sink Tripel, and Kölsch (will be hitting the Kölsch with gelatin tonight), and do an initial skim of the Pale Mild. Sunday, brew Oat Dark Mild and Bramling Cross Best Bitter, top cropped from the Pale Mild.

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Yellow Rose clone. Pilsner/Mosaic.
