So who's brewing this weekend?

[hagar]

Grains for a big blonde in the MT next to me. I'm using homemade candi sugar in this one. I was surprised at how easy it was to make.

 

[BongoYodeler]

I'll be starting later this morning on my first AG brew. A BIAB Grapefruit Pale Ale. I'm a tad nervous.

That's a GOOD nervous! Good luck, you'll do well.

20 liters of pear cider. Bulldog extract packet, breaking in the Big Demi. Nothing fancy but SWMBO thought it a good idea.

 

[Anon111]

Not really weekend, but extended: 1.5 liter Sing Sing Cider and 5 liter Lavender Sparkle part Deux.

 

[RevKev]

Brewing an all German hopped IPA tm alongside of either the redo of my mess up of a cream ale or.. a saison which some will have a 'secondary' with either lambic Brett or roselare. I'm actually brewing WOO, FML. I hate being busy

Brewed an Imperial Stout today... 1.096. Damn, so close to double digits.

 

[JohnK93]

Brewing a variation on BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde. Using the same grain bill but Columbus for bittering (because I had some) and Exp Lemon Zest for flavor and aroma additions. Also using 1098. This will be a test batch for a keg I'll be bringing up to a week on the lake in August.

I'll also be kegging a saison made with Wyeast 3711 French Saison.

 

[deere322]

10 gallons of Grisette today.

 

[catdaddy66]

Gonna have to I think! My daughter's friend has taken a serious liking to my beer and has helped me reduce my inventory over the last month or so, which means I need to get brewing. Have two batches ready for bottling but have about 4 batches worth of bottles to be filled.

Now I have to decide what to brew on Father's day.

 

[Trail]

I'm brewing a British dark mild tomorrow AM. First batch in a year, and if it pans out it'll be my first successful batch since '13. Fingers crossed!

 

[TheMadKing]

currently mashing a grapefruit hibiscus gose.. summer girly beer, but damn it's tasty!

 

[DrunkenCanuck]

This weekend is sour beer theory crafting time.

4 Lbs of 2 row
1 Lb of Wheat Flake
1 Lb Red Wheat Breiss
.05 Oz Ahtanum hops
.05 Oz Hallertau hops
White Labs liquid Brettanomyces Yeast

Doing 3 gallons and will be separating the wort into 1 gallon fermenters. Gonna let them ferment for as long as possible.

 

[stella_tigre]

Just about to kick the Flat Tire Crone. A nice mixed hop pale ale hitting its stride, and the CCC IPA going to keg tomorrow. So tomorrow's brew will be a session PA (<5%) with Amarillo and Cascade, to keep the summer pipeline flowing.

 

[hopkincr]

Brewed a wheat today.

 

[Anon111]

3 gallons of IPA. First time to use the mill, first time to use Nottingham and a good cleanup of my hop stock!

 

[dstockwell]

3 gallons of American Brown.

 

[catdaddy66]

Heating the strike water for an APA. Kind of a spur of the moment decision but I have to refill the pipeline. Looks like brewing will continue for the foreseeable future!

 

[BigCrazyAl]

5.5 gallons of a lemon summer blonde in the fermenter last night. Excited to see where it ends up.

 

[Trail]

My first batch in a long while. British dark mild. Man did I miss the smell of hops in the kettle! View attachment 404723

Did 10 gallons yesterday, one mash then split into two kettles. Had a few hiccups, mash got stuck three times and then decided to stick even worse when draining before the sparge. Then I miscalculated the sparge and wound up with only 3 gallons of the IPA and 4 of the Blonde. Gravity was at 1.058 , so after I took 1/2 gallon of the Blonde and added it to the IPA, topped the rest of the way with water. Took them down to 1.052 so no great loss. I THINK I kept track of which one is which (both in identical buckets) but I forgot to mark them. So one will get dry hopped and the other will sit. Neither has taken off yet (mildly concerned, using Notty which usually starts with a bang) but there's foam present and some pressure in the airlocks. I need both of these ready next week as I'm down to half a keg of Scotch ale, and about 2/3 keg of a jalapeno amber that is for the husband (I don't like it but he does).

 

[Dcpcooks]

Brewing a wedding beer for my God child today. Kinda cool!

Belgian white with orange peel and coriander. Second generation forbidden fruit pitch from the test batch.

It's a White Wedding for all you old rockers

 

[Genghis]

5 gallons of cream ale yesterday. 5 gallons of ESB today.

 

[TheMadKing]

Boil day for a grapefruit hibiscus gose that's been kettle souring since yesterday.. This is the most complex boil I've ever done.. Salt, coriander, grapefruit, hibiscus, oh and hops! All at different times

 

[pshankstar]

Brewed a clone of Deshutes Fresh Squeezed IPA this morning.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

HB English Stout, mild, w/coffee, bourbon, coconut.

 

[Invertalon]

Brewed an IPA yesterday, a nice step away from all the NE IPA’s I have been doing lately. I wanted something completely opposite side of the spectrum.

This one is designed to be intensely bitter and unbalanced. OG of 1.056 (expected FG of 1.008-1.010), approx. 6% ABV. Using good ole’ Chico.

100+ IBU with a nice collection of dank hops… Columbus, Nugget, Simcoe, Centennial and Chinook. 3oz of Chinook alone as my bittering charge at 60min, on top of 1oz of Columbus as a FWH. The only other additions at 15min and flame out. For the dry hop, a bit of “color” with a small amount of Galaxy and Citra (with a bulk of the dry hop being Simcoe and Nugget).

Water profile is very high in sulfates (350ppm) to further accent the bitterness/dryness.

Grist was a bit more robust with additions of munich, vienna and flaked wheat on top of the 2-row. Touch of carapils and 60L (5oz or so to bring color to 5 SRM).

Well after a year break, I finally brewed this past Sunday. Partial mash IPA, it's been way too long, and it felt good to be back brewing again. Now if this life thing could just stop getting in the way.....

 

[jschm19]

Buddy and I are going to give Braufessor's Northeast IPA recipe a try this weekend. Hoping for 11 gallons in the fermenter.
