So who's brewing this weekend?

[bransona]

Cleaned out the bins and the freezer. IPA heaven. 11 gallon batch.

What software is that? It looks pretty awesome

Beersmith 2. I've resisted upgrading from the original since it's done my so well for the last 8 years. However, it's been starting to mess up and even loosing a couple recipes. Ironically, when I downloaded the free trail version of BS2, they miraculously arrived back in my recipe folder. Guess I'll pony up to buy the full version this afternoon.

It's been over 5 months since I've brewed and my kegerator is almost empty. Doing my Blond Ale recipe using the Cascade hops from my first year plants from 2015!

Mashed in my latest batch of Hopping the Light Fantastic about four hours ago. The boil is almost done, and my volume and SG are looking right on target.

That recipe looks pretty good. Have to put that on the rotation. Love me some Amarillo.

Did the wonderful Cottage House Saison again this morning. Gotta love spring in Wisconsin. All last week, mid 40s-low 50s. Next week projected to be 40s/50s. Today? Windy, low 30s, windy, snow, windy, more snow, did I mention windy? Ugh.

Have some time off, so I'm gonna do a Centennial/Nugget IPA mid-week. When it's back in the 50s.

 

[Harry482]

Brewing 12 gallons of a hoppy red ale tomorrow. Upping my batch sizes to make for time for yard work - wamp, wamp.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Sweet Stout brewed, it'll be a yeast cake for the Hanahapu clone, but efficiency came out at 78%ish. Planed for my usual 65%. Only thing different was I used pickling lime in the mash for alkalinity. Will have to do several batches to see if the water chemistry makes that much of a difference. Never had that high efficiency number.

 

[gotbeer74]

Cleaning up now. Brewed a Dunkle. Needed a lower ABV for the summer.

 

[thunderwagn]

Just wrapped up with a sweet stout.

Getting that ESB Brewer up now

 

[BigMack]

Got an American Wheat with Cascade brewed up yesterday. It was a good brew day. Prompted me to buy some more hops online. Turned into a 10# order. I'm not complaining. My SWMBO on the other hand.....

 

[Greg1Cruickshank]

Working on an Octoberfest at the moment. Just waiting for the mash to finish up.

I'm about a month late here seeming a as it should have been brewed in March, but whatever.

Should be good to lay down till the October chill is in the air.

 

[masonsjax]

I just finished making 5 gallons of Kombucha tea. This will be the first time I've made enough to put it on tap.

 

[kadozen]

Doing my ESB MK II for a comp in June. If I get a decent score, medal or no, I'll give it it's full name, Hawker Tempest.

 

[brewbama]

I'll brewing a Belgian Amber this weekend

 

[Oldskewl]

Since it's gonna be another chilly week-end here in the NE I am gonna brew an Old Chub clone.

 

[gometz]

I'm going to make a Berliner Weisse and a Gose from one boil on Thursday evening. Then bottling a porter and a saison Friday. After I bottle up my two stouts next week I'll have about 10 full cases of beer! Well that's just counting the 12 oz bottles.

 

[Natdavis777]

Zombie Dust Saturday. Doing yeast starters now

 

[StarGuira]

Brewing a Mango IPA this weekend, waiting on my fastferment to get here Friday.. also bottling this weekend an oatmeal cherry stout I have in secondary sitting on 6lbs of organic cherries for 3 weeks.. question I have is, since I pureed the cherries and racked on the stout, WHAT IS THE BEST WAY to strain my beer before bottling?? should I use a sanitized muslin bag over the syphon hose while transferring to the bottling bucket and a strainer ORR should I use a paint bag over the bottling bucket to catch most of the cherry particles.. HELP HELP HELP!!!

 

[Onkel_Udo]

Hoping to do a Quaker Stout tomorrow evening. Measuring and grinding my grain tonight.

Last version of this beer turned out poorly. It is a sweet/oatmeal stout that neither had the mounthfeel of oats or the roast character of a stout. Still decent beer but even by my loose classification standards, no where near the mark. Hopefully version II will be closer.

 

[JonM]

Using a rare Wednesday off to brew a Centennial/Nugget IPA.

 

[govner1]

Brewing my 6 gal contribution to a club 55 gal batch of RIS to be aged in a freshly dumped Jack Daniels barrel for 6 months.

 

[Yeastieboy]

Brewing Northern Brewer's Chocolate Milk Stout specifically to put on nitro. All-Grain eBIAB.

 

[atoughram]

Half Barrel Fred on Saturday - obviously a 10 Barrel Joe clone...

 

[jmitchell3]

Rebrewing our Ten Fidy clone turned up to 11....

 

[alagaren]

Brewing a Pale Ale with rakau and mosaic this weekend.
Have Done this combo before, but this time i am using a lot of wheat and oats in the Grainbill.

 

[FirstAidBrewing]

Just finished my 2L starter for the Irish Red I'll be cooking up on Sunday. Gonna give it two months to age and tap it the weekend we move into out new house

 

[Greg1Cruickshank]

Definitely brewing on Sat.
I don't know what this is though:
8.5 Lb domestic Pilsner
1 lb table sugar
2 oz Saaz.
US05 yeast

I was under the impression this is what a 'steam beer' is- lager made with ale yeast. But I think that's incorrect. Can anyway weigh in?

 

[brewbama]

I am brewing an Amber Ale this weekend.
