So who's brewing this weekend?

[JBone120]

Mashing a white wheat hefe right now. Brewing an IPA Monday or Tuesday. Need a better pipeline.

 

[Anon111]

Viking ale. Some crystal malt, LME, barley flakes and some juniper corns. Cooper@45. Gonna be dark&bitter, like my soul

 

[Buc_Nasty]

I brewed a Munich Helles and almost had a perfect brew day but my pH meter died. Oh well, I'm sure it will still come out good!

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Looking at a Raspberry Saison and Big Bad Baptist and it's variant Baptista clone..for when cooler days arrive.

 

[BudgetBrewer]

Did 10g of Dogfish 60min. Trying to finish the glycol chiller, hope it turns out. Lots of hot 90+ F days, but the garage is still rockin about 71 deg... 69 in the ferm chamber.. Few more days and i should be able to cobble together the rest of the chiller at least in a temporary fashion.

Brewed on Saturday.... it's now been almost 72 hours and there's no sign of activity.

Going to drain pour it tonight if it doesn't start.

Didn't get everything I wanted brewed, but I did log a Munich Dunkel and a Munuch Helles.

Where'd you get the chiller unit at? We have 1000 of them at work, wonder if they'd notice one missing...

 

[BudgetBrewer]

Its just a 5k btu window shaker ac unit.... pretty standard. Hardest part is figuring out the best way to plumb it all and the pumps / controlls.. As per the norm, i try to over engineer everything and it takes time lol...

 

[Scturo]

Gonna get an oatmeal stout going Friday

 

[badlee]

1 gallon of Gratzer mashing now

 

[catdaddy66]

Saison in the works for tomorrow. Currently getting the yeast started.

If you care to do so, love to see a pic. I don't mind brewing in Central Texas heat, but using a plate chiller when the water temp is 88F hinders progress. I've daydreamed about using a chiller unit.

Completed RIS..

Not brewing, but bottling tomorrow. 4 liter Viking Ale and about 14 liter IPA.

I'm cooking 2.5 pounds of macaroni right now; the start of a wit bier. (I should be grinding the malt right now instead of posting on the Internet) This will also be the first time using my new Wilser bag, and my first time this year brewing outside, and my first time brewing with all tapwater instead of RO water or a mix. This is a 4 gallon recipe:

2.5 lb - American Pale 2-Row (33.3%)
2.5 lb - American Wheat (33.3%)
2.5 lb - Dried macaroni (33.3%)

1 oz - Willamette, AA: 5, Boil for 45 min, IBU: 23.67

10 ml - Lactic acid, 88%, Use: Mash
0.25 tsp - Table salt, Use: Boil

15 g - Coriander, 5 min
1 each - Tangerine peel, minced, 5 min

Infusion mash, Temp: 150 F, Time: 60 min, Amount: 6.5 gal

Love Lubelski hops. I might brew something like this up next.

 

[Nicegirl]

Brewed up a batch of my Silver Lining Cream Ale today for the upcoming family camping trip in August.

 

[shellsbells]

I brewed up a batch of Citra/Mosaic IPA this morning. Things went so smoothly, I had such a great time, and I didn't really have anything else I wanted to get done today so I decided to throw on another batch (a Sorachi Ace-hopped saison)

 

[skraeling]

The house pale ale + the earlier USA v Panama game.

 

[blkandrust]

mashed in my Imperial Brown,15 mins ago.

 

[ProblemChild]

Doing a DIPA.

Built water last night. Checked out at 6.0Ph this morning. Crushed grains - 2-row, Vienna, red wheat, cara red. Flaked oats sitting to side waiting to join the others.

Running this batch with X331 as bitter, late with additional whirlpool and dry hop additions. Remaining hops are Amarillo, Citra, and Idaho 7.

Mash water heating right now.

Sipping on a cup of coffee from a local roaster - a new one for me - Rawanda organic.....

 

[catdaddy66]

Just doughed in and will need 75 min of mash time. Brewday, ftw!!

 

[Transamguy77]

Brewed 10 gallons of IPA that I split between 2 yeasts and added some dark grains in hoping to get a black IPA in half. I'll dry hop with 2 different hops also.

 

[tgolanos]

Apples are cheap this week so I decided to brew up my Apple Ale. Just mashed it in 10 minutes ago.

After the boil I'll go for a run and order some supplies - more pale malt, some more hops and other goodies.

 

[ProblemChild]

OK - ever have that brew that you just KNEW was going to be a major success?

Numbers hit very well.

Mash pH hit 5.3

Mash temp target 150. Hit 150.2

Expected 414 GU, got 396 GU (actual OG 1.069)

Vol target, 5.75. got 5.75.

Went in the basement this morning after yesterday's brew day and could still smell the hops lingering. I was almost late for work as I sat down there and breathed everything in

Fermentation bubbling away and smells amazing. Only temp control is a small room in the basement with window AC unit, but ambient is 61.5°F, so ferm temp should be within range anyway unless it really starts to run hard... anyway, we will see.

Sunday I plan on brewing! ... as to what I'm not sure

Something for FotHB I right??😀

Have grains for a NEIPA but thinking inline of a Peach Saison..

Me too! But I am fairly sure it will be a big Belgian quad. I hope it's a clone of Westvleteren 12... Yeah I am pretty sure that's what it will be.
