So who's brewing this weekend?

[unionrdr]

Waiting on the mash tun to heat up to 155F or so. This Mumme' gruit ale is a different animal. A pound of cooked & coarsely mashed beans go in with the grains for 90 minutes @ 152-153F. Gotta go check the mash water temp again...

 

[unionrdr]

After getting the right element heated up, the BK/MT to 158F, I used the coarsely mashed beans as chill scrap. Then added the grains, & stirred. It all mixed so easily, I was surprised. 90 minutes counting down. Gotta heat sparge water in a bit.

Brewed a blonde that will get coffee beans in the secondary while another brew club member brewed an amber yesterday.

Still waiting for the two pouches of WY 1275 to take off in my Mumme'. Cleaning a couple more things from brew day.

 

[schematix]

LoDO Helles.

Will be my first time employing low DO techniques to the mash and boil, as well as first time doing a closed fermentation. I've got 3 kegs and 3 sets of spunding valves ready to go.

 

[Sourz4life]

I'll be brewing a metheglin and a coffee mead(not sure what that falls under) tomorrow.

 

[razyrsharpe]

Friday i will be brewing a Pale Ale malt / Palisade SMaSH.

 

[Xernex]

Decided I was going to do a double today... brewing a new Wit recipe as well as another take on my Migratory Coconut Stout...it's 95 degrees out...why'd I decide to do this.

I'm also planning on doing a wit and coconut stout this weekend. Prepping the stout now, saving the wit for tomorrow.

 

[JayInAmes]

Brewing Fat Sam this weekend, in my never ending quest to be better at this hobby!

Great minds....

 

[Elkobrewer]

Going to brew up a 5er of summer nights pale ale Saturday

 

[Jimbodaman]

Probably gonna brew 5 gal of Resurgence's Oktoberfest from BYO magazine. Using wlp 820 rather than 830.

 

[Yeastieboy]

Why sad?

28.5 lbs measured for a big stout:rockin:

Who says that's my sad face?

 

[stella_tigre]

We have our friend Matt coming over again for a second brew day, and this time he is bringing SWMBO, thinking that she might like to do this too. We have another round of our AG Flat Tire Crone to do, the grain is all measured and ready to mill. In the past we've used BRY-97 for this recipe, but this time we'll try some Mangrove Jack M44, just to be different! And we just tapped Yooper's House Pale Ale, hoping it's carbed up just right for tomorrow.

Brewing the Hop Bomb IPA several people helped me tweak the recipe for on Sunday, 14oz of hops in 5.5 gal. Gonna be tasty.

 

[cantrell00]

15 gallons of Sublimely Self Righteous for a barrel.

[Erik_Mog]

Yup....14oz. Was going to bitter with Simcoe, but going 1oz Centennial FWH, 1oz Centennial@60, 4oz each Cascade and Amarillo for a 45 min hop stand, and 2oz each of Cascade and Amarillo dry hop. 65IBU.

 

[y498yates]

Wow. Good luck with that. As a non-bitter hop fan, I think you have chosen wisely and wish you godspeed!

 

[y498yates]

Also, ftr, I tried brewing a super hopped IPA with a friend of mine once (just to use up all these free hops I won). Long story short, after taking one look at the glass carboy fermenter we decided to name it "Swamp Thang." It was THAT green.

If you don't like it at first, DON'T DUMP IT! It cleared out after nearly a month. Sure it lost some hop character but it was actually a pretty solid beer!

 

[Invertalon]

14oz... That's it? muhahah

My last DIPA was 19.5oz for 5-gal... My friends couldn't stop raving about it... When I took that beer to a homebrew meet with a ton of people I never met before, I constantly was told how delicious it was. Many questions on how I pulled off what I did. The reception for that beer was the best to date. It was damn delicious, I will admit. The dry hop alone was 8oz, so you can imagine that aroma. The only "flaw" I had with the beer was the S-04 yeast, which I didn't care for.

My next DIPA after my lager-duo in process right now is at 20.5oz for 5-gal. It is primarily hop bursting for the whirlpool and a huge dry hop. Going with chico on this one to compare with the one above.


Note: I do buy my hops in bulk and trying to use up my 15' harvest supply so I can re-stock for 16' with the new stuff... So I don't mind going overboard with the hop rates.

Brewing my Munich Dunkel tomorrow and kegged my Vienna lager tonight. Can't wait for these in a few weeks!

 

[MaryB]

Mowing lawn tomorrow, if I have any energy left Sunday I may do a pilsner malt smash lawnmower beer...

 

[Alpotun]

In the midst of a Mild mash at the moment.

That sounds good. The one I am doing is a regular IPA, not a DIPA. I will definitely keep in mind the 1# plus of hops when I do make a DIPA in the future.

 

[Erik_Mog]

I like moderately bitter, but not over the top. I am going for mainly flavor and aroma. Hoping this turns out as good as I think it will.

I will probably use muslin bags for the hops in the kettle, and then pour through a paint strainer bag into the bucket, as well as dry hop in a couple of muslin bags to try and keep it a little cleaner.

 

[unionrdr]

Wow. And I thought I was going " out there" when I used some 8.5ozs in my Cougar Country IPA? It tasted like Pliny crossed with the average commercial IPA. Damn good...but I'm humbled by these Zar Bomba hop bombs you guys have here!...

 

[thaymond]

My DIPA had 16 oz before dry hop. Nugget, Zeus, Cascade, and Chinook. I'm nearing the end of it, and wish I made another batch.

 

[BaylessBrewer]

Going to be brewing a Pliny The Elder Clone later today. Got a 2L starter of wlp-090 crashing in the fridge right now.

 

[Yeastieboy]

Oh forget it...
