So who's brewing this weekend?

[pshankstar]

My plan is to brew this weekend one of the two or hopefully both. First the Zombie Dust clone (AG) found on this forum. The other would be a small 3 gallon IPA I brewed in March. I want to tweak it some. So I was thinking about going with:

Grains:
7# 2-row 87.5%
0.5# Biscuit 6.2%
0.5# Caramel 40L 6.2%

Hops:
1oz Bravo (10.5% AA) 60 min
0.5oz Warrior (14.90% AA) 20 min
0.5oz Warrior (14.90% AA) 5 min
1oz Citra (12% AA) Dry Hop 5-7 days

The last time I brewed this IPA I did:

Grains:
7# of 2-row
10oz of Caramel 40L

Hops
0.4oz Bravo 60 min
0.6oz Bravo 20 min
1 oz Warrior 5 min
1oz Citra Dry Hops 5 days.

It was low IBUs and bitterness, so I think maybe changing the hop schedule some might help. It turned out great but it wasn't very "hoppy" for an IPA. So I could just add more hops since I have them handy.

Brewing at this moment #3 of the Flat Tire Crone series. #1 was extract w/ specialty grain (our first beer ever.) #2 was partial mash. And #3 is all grain! Smells great.

I should do one of those for my brother that used to live in Seattle.

Sunday looking good for my bitter. Then I'll have something for after lawn work.

I don't know what to call this. 2lbs dme, 4 cans of Lemonaid concentrate and saison yeast with 1oz Mosaic 20min. Trying to make the raspberry hard Lemonaid more beer like.

We are brewing our Cream Ale (10 gallons) tomorrow! Weather looks good for it! Should be ready in plenty of time to enjoy at our lake place, in Maine, this summer.

[PADave]

Doing NB Chinook IPA today.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

DIPA (Centennial, Simcoe, citra,mosaic) and Hanahapu lite (8%ish)

 

[Onkel_Udo]

Apparently, I am. Weather sucks...awesome car we wanted to buy was too wide for the tow dolly...F-it, making another batch of my RyePA.

Sounds like a Shandy.


Wife will be at a bridal shower tomorrow, so i have the grains already milled and the hops measured out for an American Amber.

Brewed a dipa with a buddy of mine.

DIPA with a 8oz of El Dorado and Hull Melon hops.

Hoping for something new and... fruity.

Looks futuristic. Never heard of Hull Melon. Curious how it turns out.

Funny, and Eldorado was what would not fit on the tow dolly...

Second batch of NB Phat Tyre Ale later today, #1 was bottled last night. Smelled great, 1/2 cup taste test flat was good but as expected a bit raw around the edges.

 

[myerstyson]

Doing a Kentucky Common this weekend. Probably more, because we have many days off this coming week for local holidays (2nd, 3rd, 5th, 9th).

 

[badlee]

Going for 9ltr of Vienna lager at OG 1.050.
Got 11ltr at 1.048.
Go figure

 

[Alpotun]

Brewed a stout yesterday that I'm telling myself I'm gonna let age for a few months before I start drinking, so as to excuse myself for brewing a mild sooner than I probably would have otherwise.

 

[thunderwagn]

About ready to finish up a batch of Caribou Slobber.

 

[day_trippr]

Knocked out a Trappist/3787 and an Irish Porter/1084.



Yeast gave me fits with slow starters on the stirplates as these packs were both from early March.
But they eventually finished up and I think the yields will be sufficient...

Cheers!

[edit] 4 hours post-pitch and the 3787 is already popping the blow-off. Fingers crossed on the 1084...
[edit2] ftr, the 1084 was busily burping 8 hours in, and five days later the Trappist is at 1.015 and the Porter is at 1.010...

About ready to finish up a batch of Caribou Slobber.

Still one of my favorites...

 

[BudgetBrewer]

No idea if i'll get the time. Ingredients lined up for a double brew day... Fizzy yellow Beer and a batch of Undead Guy.. Hoping, weather looks awesome on the weekend.

 

[Tactical-Brewer]

Brewing Thursday I suppose. My cream of three crops reversed.

 

[GrogNerd]

brewing a Grodziskie for the 2nd time. this time a full batch and will have fermentation temperature control

 

[kcoect]

Brewing a strong Hefeweizen on Saturday with friends! Friends brewing an IPA and someone else a porter...

 

[MaryB]

No brewing for at least a week for me. Need to let the current ales finish fermenting out. Innkeeper and Phat Tire NB extract kits, 1 more extract kit to use up then I switch to all grain until deep winter (no water supply in my garage... it gets to -31f here) when I will likely go back to extract or maybe 3 gallon BIAB mashes... something my under powered stove burner can handle. I can do a full 5 gallon extract boil but it is slow getting there.

 

[mattmmille]

I've been warned...brewing on the weekend with Mother's Day is NOT advised. Too bad, there's a "Big Brew" at Atlantic Brew Supply/Raleigh Brewing Co. on Saturday. I finally have a small freezer to set up as a fermentation chamber and an outlet installed. Definitely itching for a brew day. Plans are for a Fluffernutter Stout and then maybe a black IPA.
