I'm brewing an ordinary bitter using some homemade invert #2 on Saturday
 
I'm brewing tomorrow come hell or high water.

I am a teacher and I'm on spring break. If I don't get a brew in this week, I swear I'll break something. Violently.

I am going to bottle/keg (too much to fit in one keg) a batch of my version of the Old Bitter Bastard recipe. I may also bottle up a sour brown, if I get adventurous/ambitious. And I'm planning on brewing the Northern Brewer Ares' Biere de Mars recipe, with a couple additions (some millet just for fun and a tiny bit more bittering hops).

All of this while trying to keep an eye on my 3-year-old while the SWMBO is at work. Should be fun. My schedule has been crazy busy the last week and a half or so, so the intensity of tomorrow is merely in line with what I've become accustomed to.

:tank:
 
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?

Not a steam beer. Looks like a pilsner on the drier end of the spectrum. But the yeast is wrong for that.

Steam beer is darker than a pilsner, has a more American hop presence (typically Northern Brewer), and is fermented with a lager yeast that can still produce lager characteristics when fermented at more ale-like temperatures.
 
Brewing a porter tomorrow. Pretty standard recipe that seems to be a crowd pleaser, the last batch disappeared before I could even enjoy much of it. Also, thinking about what to do with a big old lager yeast cake since my German pils is about ready for lagering in a secondary. Maybe a helles?
 
Last weekend. Grapefruit IPA, also try out a mead.

Brewing a variant of Biermucher's Centennial Blonde. I did not have C10 nor Vienna, so I used more Carapils and some CaraVienne. I subbed in one lb of Maris for 2 row, and added another .5 of 2 row. I omitted the C10....
 
Thursday's the weekend, right? I am making a new experimental recipe of 1/3 each Wheat, Flaked Rye and American light Munich (10L).

Hops are still up in the air but yeast is WB-06. Interested to see how Spicy, oily, biscuity and banana/clove mix.
 
Thinking of brewing a 20 gallon batch that will split into three 5 gallon variants: IPA, saison, and a sour using some funk I harvested from a bottle of crooked staves mama bear.

Still need to do some due diligence on OG levels in combo with Lacto/Pedio and sour mashing but looks promising!
