So who's brewing this weekend?

[shellsbells]

I've only brewed twice since Easter, so I'm super excited to get one in today. Was planning a Zythos SMASH but don't quite have enough hops, so I'm going to bitter with magnum and use Zythos for everything else

 

[treacheroustexan]

Just getting up to the boil on my maris otter/huell melon smash. Only my second BIAB since I didn't feel like breaking out my grainfather for 2.5 gallons. Temp was 152 when I put it in oven, and it got up to 156. Hopefully it doesn't turn out too sweet.

I need to brew some experiments, but I generously gave my wife all 60 gallons of ro water I keep stashed, so I'm making more and drinking in my hammock.

How's the BIAB working out? I did three or four BIAB batches and never got comfortable with it. Bag never felt safe.

10 gallons of Bohemian Lager in the ferm fridge.


Yeast and O2 are rarin' to go but can't pitch 'til it drops another 10°F.
Lagers are a bit of a pita...

Cheers!

Brew day pushed to Monday... 40mph winds would have made keeping heat even a major pain!

 

[catdaddy66]

Doing a Calimex lager, using agave nectar and wlp810, the San Francisco lager yeast. My friend who owns the local lhbs will let me use his fridge for temp control.

Yay!

Been lazy with brewing lately.

Brewing Charlie Papazian's Duck Slippers Session Helles recipe today. I should have brewed this a couple months ago so it would be on tap already!

What temperature is the wort now and what temperature are you aiming for?
My last batch was an imperial pilsner; I could only get it down to 60 so I pitched the yeast late afternoon and put the carboy into the cooler at 50. By the next morning it was down to 54 and the first signs of fermentation were just becoming apparent. It turned out very good. This is my normal lager S O P and I've never had any problems.

Next weekend Viking Beer. Extract and the first time to use Irish Moss. Exciting! Oh and my JOAM is bottle-ripe. Clear as glass but most oranges are still floating.

This weekend I'm bottling up a 3 gal batch of a blonde that I accidentally made tart in the mash; added berries in secondary in hopes of saving and it's great from the sample I pulled yesterday. Harvesting the yeast from the batch and using it to brew up a relatively low ABV (around 7%) 3 gal batch of mead that I plan to experiment with in separate 1 gal secondaries - Earl Gray, chamomile, and spruce tips, I think.

 

[JonM]

A hoppy Mosaic pale ale kinda based on the Two-Hearted recipe in the current Zymurgy. Gonna get a starter going tonight using Oberon dregs.

 

[boasist]

I'll be brewing up a Victory Prima Pils clone. While racking my scotch ale, and kegging my summer ale!

 

[Scturo]

Another batch of NEIPA. Will change up the hops, thinking Nelson, Amarillo, Mosaic.

 

[stella_tigre]

A Bell's Two Hearted style IPA on Saturday. HWMO requested it. We're currently drinking a Centennial-Cascade-Citra IPA with a lighter hoppy ale next to keg. Gotta love it!

 

[dryboroughbrewing]

Absolutely! I have to bang out at least 20 if not 30 gallons this weekend.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Brewing my nemesis as of late, the dreaded highly hopped IPA. Cheers fellow HBers!

4th of July weekend = my last chance to get my beer for my annual Oktoberfest party done with adequate time to lay them down and lager, so this weekend I will be brewing:
- a Munich Helles
- a Kloster Dunkel (modeled after Kloster Kreuzberg's house bier)
- a Bamberg-style Rauchbier, half of which will get oaked.
- a Bavarian Pils
My Oktoberfest has already been brewed and is lagering, so that's taken care of.

Yes, my annual Oktoberfest party is quite an event.

 

[shallywag]

Split batch, Rasberry and Blueberry wheat.

 

[MagicRat]

First try tomorrow at a New England-ish IPA with Galaxy, Mosaic, and Citra.

[emoji50] Sounds like a busy weekend!

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!

my thoughts exactly, no space, going for a lager which will hopefully take at least four weeks.

 

[DrunkenCanuck]

I am kind of undecided on what I want to do. I am in the experimenting mode right now. I have two 1 gallon Belgian Ales with WLP Brett yeast fermenting away, they are still going at it after a month and I am unsure how long I want to keep them going for. I want to whip out some more 1 gallon batches so I can try a few things. I haven't learned to later yet, but it's getting late to do a large batch later. I am thinking I want to try my hand at a Belgian Quadruple. 4 fermenting cycles means if I do it soon, it would be ready for the fall.

 

[dawn_kiebawls]

I am just about to start my boil for a partial mash attempt at a belgian IPA and begin planning a red ale (possibly IPA) for Husker football season!

 

[MaryB]

Brewed today instead of this weekend(going to have company). 11 gallons of my house ale. I might take 3 hours this weekend and brew up a free extract kit I have had laying around to long...

 

[CapitaineHaddoc]

I'm brewing a pretty low abv Session IPA (3,7 abv) with cololombus, Simcoe and Hallertau blanc.

Malt bill is 2 row, Vienna, caramunich and pale wheat.

Yeast is Wlp090 San Diego Super.

 

[catdaddy66]

Five minutes from draining my first runnings. Making a lager with wlp810 and agave nectar. I rarely do lagers so I am a little nervous but in a good way!

 

[nobadays]

Got a 4:15AM start this morning to beat the heat! Have about 20 minutes left on the mash for a low ABV Pale Ale... OG of 1.040... Citra/Centennial/ Cascade with all the bitterness coming from 20/10 and 5 minute hop additions. Should round out at 33 IBUs at 4% ABV

Cheers! Don
