So who's brewing this weekend?

[seatazzz]

Can't remember if I posted about this already. Doing a small batch of apple spice ale for the fall. Just came up with this recipe while I was shopping for grains. Maris otter base malt, and a small amount of crystal malts 10 & 40. Apple pie spice blend at flame out. May add some apple cider or apple extract to the keg just because.

That sounds awesome. I've been thinking of doing another apfelwein soon but also have been toying with the idea of using chopped apples or applesauce in a blonde base ale with some spices for a nice fall ale. Let us know how it turns out.

I used home-made applesauce in the apple beer I just made. Stewing the apples in organic apple juice gives better flavor, I find. 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves each does the trick.

And now I'm drooling. Gee thanks! Sounds like a perfect fall harvest ale. I'm not a big fan of the pumpkin ales that will start showing up in September so this sounds like a great alternative. Know what I'm brewing last week in August now!!! I'm thinking of doing a nice blonde base mashed a bit low (148-150) and doing the apple additions in the last 10 minutes, also "dry" hop with maybe some fresh apple slices and more spices. Would want it to wind up a bit sweeter than a "standard" ale. Yep gonna run this one by the husband. That's what I love about HBT!!!

I've in the middle of a two week voluntary lay off, so time for a midnight brew!

Just put grains in the mash tun for a lawnmower beer using light munich, flaked barley, and flaked rye. Decided to give muntons yeast a try cause I'm like that.

 

[Trail]

This guy! I'm brewing an IPA, which I've never really done before. So many baggies of hops!

 

[catdaddy66]

I have brewed for 7(!) straight weekends now and want a break but really want one more batch to get made. I have room for 5 gal of California common so I can do that, then take a break.

Or not... Lol

Im brewing a dry stout this weekend and its going on nitro:rockin:

 

[Killshakes]

I'm brewing an APA. Totally new recipe I came up with this week that uses Mosaic and Citra (might include some Amarillo too--not sure yet). I've never used ANY of these varieties before, so I'm excited to see how it turns out.

The boss and his wife are off to Mexico this weekend so me and the other assistant are in charge of kegging on Sunday. My fellow assistant has never done a "homebrew" batch (has only brewed on our boss' 6 bbl system) so I'm going to bring my little mash tun & keggle to the brewery and he's going to brew his first batch with some of my equipment. We'll use the brewery HLT and pumps. He lives in an apartment complex that frowns on anything going on the balcony so I thought this would chirk him up. He doesn't drive so it's up to me to go grain shopping on Saturday, the boss is happy to let us ransack his hop inventory as well as adjunct grains so all we have to provide is base grains. I've got enough yeast slurry at home to ferment 10 gallons. Going to do a Red IPA, with hop additions a' la 90 minute Dogfish Head at 5 minute increments (his idea, not mine). He's got a solid take on how to brew on a big system so it will be fun to show him how to use that knowledge to ramp down to a smaller batch. Most homebrewers get to go the opposite way so it's going to be interesting. Looking forward to it!

Murphy's Irish Stout tonight. Hit my numbers then remembered the sugar. BIAB efficiency is great on these smaller beers.

Putting in some work this weekend. Brewing for a big party and I have three 11 gallon batches and one 6 gallon batch planned for this weekend, so two per day. Pretty much all weekend dedicated to brewing so wish me luck!

Good luck!! You will be in need of a weekend to recover from your weekend.

I am making it 8 straight weekends brewing... Whew. Gonna make a California common, or my best recipe, for the 3rd time this year!

Then I am hibernating...

Brewing sunday. My homebrew club is having a octoberfest contest. Everyone had to pick a german style. I picked maibock but i will be turning half into a Eisbock. Hope it ready by then.

Today was the best brew day I've had in a long time.
93% mash efficiency. No crazy mishaps. Just straight brewing beer.

1.051 pale ale/Brett pale ale split batch

 

[November]

I just put 15 gals of American Lager in the fermenter, kegged 15 gals of red, kegged 15 gals of pale ale, cleaned the rig, cleaned all the kegs and fermenters, and smoked a roast. Time for a break and a beer.

 

[catdaddy66]

Just got a bit under 4 gal of California common first runnings. Sparging now with 4 more gallons.

We're off to Oregon Brewfest on Friday for my birthday (yes I will be taking notes on what I may want to try to brew myself!), and I've been instructed, nay, ordered, to brew this Sunday. Going to go off the sheet with a recipe I completely made up myself, a golden ale with raspberries after primary to make something that will taste like a raspberry scone. I've got some solid advice from people here and hope this one will be great. Just need to make a quick trip for the adjunct grains and it's on like donkey kong.

 

[boasist]

A take on Dogfish 120 is going down on Friday, starter is in the works as I type.

I ordered 3 more kegs, another chronical, and the brewpi v3. On top of having the week off of work, it'll be a great brewing time!
