So who's brewing this weekend?

[Morrey]

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

Man...that grapefruit hibiscus beer is fit for a "King"....or as you say...fit for a "Queen" as well!

I'd drink one right along with ya' my friend.

 

[Gravity]

I am brewing up Yoopers Dead Guy Clone and have my Pacman yeast ready to go.

I've made this before...a while back...I let the boil go 90 min, turned out super good, a bit more caramelized and chocolatey then Dead Guy and still super yummy

I'd gladly do a bottle trade with you and send you some (assuming it turns out as good as it smells in primary, of course )

I will be brewing my nice and balanced house IPA on Thursday. This time my middle son will be home to brew with me, so it will be an awesome day!

Absolutely! I have a pretty good pipeline of 10 beers now, so we can compare notes when your Gose is ready. I have a Watermelon Gose recipe I'll be doing soon as well.

I gots da brewin' jones again, but my post-fermentation pipeline is backed up, no cold storage space left. I'm thinking a 10 gallon batch of pilsener can lager for 3-4 weeks in the ferm fridge while a couple of keg slots open up.

I do have some wy2206 yeast in the fridge I'll have to start building up...a lot...and half a bag of Briess pilsener malt...and some Saaz, Tettnanger, Hallertau...

Looks like a plan...

Cheers!

I have almost the same plan! My pipeline is backed up, but I'm just going to make 5 gallons of pilsner and cold store it in my ferm chamber with a party tap for "samples" until a keezer tap opens up, then I'm brewing 5 gallons of festbier to lager until October

Dang it's nice having two row on hand. Bought a full bag for last brew day and still have 28 pounds left. Plan for this weekend is doing an Arrogant Bastard clone, subbing in Columbus for the Chinook since that's what I have. All I need to get is the adjuncts, and I'm thinking about tweaking it a bit with a very small addition of something smoky to push the malt flavors a bit. I can't smoke my own grain (yet) so was thinking some cherry smoked malt or some smoked wheat or rye. Or maybe something roasty. Or maybe reducing some of the first runnings...ah the possibilities!! And it's only Tuesday!!! Is it Saturday yet?????

 

[woo_pig]

Doing a RIS. 10 gallon batch. $100 for just the speacialty malts. Pretty big beer.

I just read an article yesterday in a BYO mag I found laying around the house. It said the exact same thing you just said about smoke malt. I've never made a smoky beer, had a couple but wasn't crazy about it. Just be careful with the smoke on the bastard.

I wished I could brew this weekend!

Aaaaaaand now I HAVE to do this one because you just named it....Smoke on the Bastard. Brilliant!!!

I gotta ask about a 100 dollar specialty malt grain bill. Share?

 

[dstockwell]

Will be doing a 2 brew w/e. 3G Tropical IPA using Omega Tropical yeast, and an Apple ale with 1450 slurry.

 

[catdaddy66]

I am brewing again but I am not sure which of 2 recipes will be made. I have a Mexican pilsner that I will add gave nectar to, but also want to do another batch of an APA/IPA. Just got 40 ozs of hops delivered so I have to make some decisions on my ingredients.

In the words of William J. Lapettimane, Gov... "Work work work work work work work!" lolol

 

[AJinJacksonville]

That's a good kind of work problem to have catdaddy...haha.

I may luck out and brew two this weekend. One a Kolsch-style all-grain with my buddy down the street, and the other an extract Kolsch-style at my house (once the kids go to bed tomorrow night). I plan to harvest the yeast on both if I can get away with it.

That is includind a lb of columbus and 2 packs of 001 and some dme for a starter. So i guess i should of said that its everything but the base. Got 24 lbs of pale malt as the base.

 

[Morrey]

I am brewing a hoppy wheat beer with a lemongrass infusion. Will use Amarillo and a touch of Sorachi Ace to make the lemongrass flavors pop.

Equally as important, I am bringing my brand new Penguin glycol chiller online to use with my FTSs system (Brew Tech Conicals). In this summer heat, I was struggling with keeping frozen ice bottles in a cooler.

 

[treacheroustexan]

Sunday I'm doing a huell melon/Maris otter smash. Super excited for this one.

 

[Anon111]

Bottling mead, easy weekend.

 

[catdaddy66]

Bottling a cream of three crops batch and brewing a different APA, probably Yoopers pale ale.

 

[Trail]

I found a box of crushed grains and hops from an order I made in August... of 2015. I stuck it in the closet and forgot about it. All factory sealed from William's.

Tomorrow morning I'm going to open them, smell them, and sift them into a big bag. If it smells good and there are no weevils, I'm brewing some ******* beer.

 

[Elkobrewer]

Brewing my Broken Zipper ESB this weekend

 

[MaryB]

Batch of my house ale Sunday... 11 gallons, then the weekend after maybe an IPA for variety... Going to split my house ale between Notty and S-05 this time to see what I get, last time I used Notty and T-58(gave it a fat tire like funk but stronger)

 

[z-bob]

I'm planning to brew something, but haven't yet figured out what. Maybe a saison, 'cuz I have pilsner malt and a packet of Belle Saison, and a bunch of different hops in the freezer.

I also want to brew a witbier soon but I'd have to go buy stuff for that one.

 

[catdaddy66]

I am brewing for my 4th weekend in a row. Probably be at least two more to build up my pipeline. Yoopers pale ale tomorrow and a Mexican lager next weekend.

 

[Redtab78]

Doing my take on zombie dust today, and then another bath of the Russian River row 2 hill 56 clone, but with a cascade/citra/mosaic for the hops

 

[linusstick]

I'm brewing a small batch Saison.

 

[Transamguy77]

Well I'm planning to, I haven't brewed since last year! I have no real idea what yet, prob a pale or session IPA that will be done quick I'm running out of beer!

 

[pshankstar]

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).

That sounds like a tasty recipe! I would be curious to know how it turns out. Cheers!
