So who's brewing this weekend?

[jerbrew]

Got my honey wheat going. Gotta love it when you hit your mash temp with almost zero effort.

 

[biochemedic]

My weekend is right now! Brewed an APA and a session mead today (finally!)

 

[jpcourtney]

Going to brew a Dead Guy clone.

 

[ProblemChild]

Just finished cleaning up after a very successful brew (save for the spill...) hit targets on a DIPA that has been a crazy success in previous efforts.

Hop bursted, big hop stand and (in two weeks or so) a big dry hop.

7 lb 2-row
7 lb Golden Promise
.7 lb 40L
.3 lb Golden naked oats

Apollo, Galaxy, Nelson, Amarillo, Idaho 7, Citra. (Stupid, expensive hop bill, but I do NOT care)

Omega DIPA (OYL-052) yeast with 1.7L starter. (Three hours in and already chewing into it)

Should finish up about 9.2%ABV - drinks like five..... Lordy!

I loved my brew day!!!!!

Brewing an American Wheat Ale right now. Five minutes from flameout. 'Scuse me, I gotta run...

Brewing an American Wheat Ale right now. Five minutes from flameout. 'Scuse me, I gotta run...

In the fermenter. The recipe was:
4.5 lbs white wheat
4 lbs 2-row
1 lb Munich 10l
12 oz Caramel/Crystal 15l
.3 oz Magnum @55 min
.75 oz Cascade @30 min
.5 oz Cascade @1 min.

The recipe predicted 1.038 pre-boil and 1.047 OG. I hit 1.044 and 1.050. The sweet wort tasted great. I'm looking forward to this one.

NE IPA brewday in the books, hit my within 0.001 of my numbers and 11.5 gallons in the fermenter. Pretty good day

 

[day_trippr]

Knocked out a 10 gallon batch of Treehouse Julius today and split it between 1318 and Conan.
Gonna see which I really like better...

Cheers!

 

[BongoYodeler]

Seems like a successful brew day today. Yooper's Oatmeal Stout. Hit my OG target of 1.052. Hope to hear all kind of action by tomorrow morning.

 

[Miraculix]

My we was also quite productive. 15liters of a spelt Stout went into the fermenter. Missed my expected Og by 0.01 though... Now I have a stronger Stout with 1.06og. I increased my brewhouse-efficiency to around 78%. BIAB rules

After 24h the air lock is not bubbling, it is spitting. Re used the yeast cake from the previous batch never saw fermentation kicking in so strongly.

 

[Bigstaubbie]

Took Troegs spec's got it pretty close. Later post showed my %'s a little off. Everyone thinks it's better then the real deal.

 

[HopGobbler]

Broke in the new stove with a Belgian Tripel IPA last night, the stove took some getting used to, but overall it went pretty well.

Lots of hoppy goodness in this one

Did a yeast starter for the Belgian yeast, this batch was going crazy and already fermenting when I added it to the batch.

 

[jalc6927]

I did an AG ***** modelo spin off, had issues with clogged line running from false bottom elbow to valve, had to dump, clean, restart vorlauf...

Missed OG by 3 points 1.045,hit 1.042

Other than that should be fine

 

[Trail]

I'm brewing an oatmeal stout this coming Sunday... actually, am brewing every Sunday until at least mid-October. I have to get my kegs filled before winter hits or I won't make it to Spring!

Sounds good. What was your batch size?

 

[HopGobbler]

5 Gallons

 

[HopGobbler]

I checked the fermentation last night and this morning and the airlock was humming away like a quick beating heart, sucker is chugging away!

 

[Zimm9]

My uncle requested a stout for his NYE party. I never know what people will like so I brewed up a batch of choco milk stout and a batch of dry irish stout this weekend. Hoping that'll give them a good amount of time to age....assuming I can resist temptation!

 

[sleepspeaking]

Planning 10g of Basil Honey Ale.
Maybe a split batch and throwing Lavender in half.

 

[z-bob]

I'm planning a simple 4-gallon American pale ale, and going to use one of the packets of S-33 yeast in my fridge. Single hop variety, but haven't decided which one yet (probably Nugget)

 

[kristiismean]

Got some comet hops at a great price. So doing a 1 lb IPA . 10 lbs pale, biscuit and honey malt. Then mainly dry hopping and whirlpooling with the comet..

 

[jalc6927]

On Sunday I'll be doing an amber ale with some all natural apple butter added. Not sure if I'll add at 5 mins, flameout, or secondary

My guy tells me flameout

But also thought I may add it to the mash?

Depends on how much I drink most likely

 

[benco]

Oh! I brewed today, not this weekend. I haven't brewed in at least 6 months, life got in the way. I brewed a Irish red ale all grain kit from nb with free shipping for about 25.00. I normally buy from Tx brewing out of ft. Worth and I normally build and design my own recipes off of other recipes. I'm glad I got to brew today and really enjoyed it, although I was a bit rusty.

 

[jalc6927]

I just got started with Texas brewing, been listening to their podcasts, which are hilarious

 

[dawn_kiebawls]

I can't decide between a saison or a belgian stout

I have the grains milled for both of them. The stout will take longer to get into bottles and be suitable holiday gifts. But, the saison grains have been milled for a longer period of time. Hmmmm.... Looks like a double batch weekend!

 

[Mainer]

Brewing Monday. Finishing up my "Summer of Sours" with a Juniper-Spruce Gose.

 

[catdaddy66]

I may finally get to do that English brown ale I have wanted to do for about 3 weeks now. But it will have to be wedged between 3 batches getting bottled in 7 days, a birthday party and a college football game... Holy crap.

 

[MaryB]

11 gallons of my house Ale Saturday weather permitting(I won't brew in a thunderstorm using a garden hose for cooling water...)

 

[Zimm9]

I should bottle a batch of BrandonO's Graff this weekend. I've added a few tools and pieces of advice to my arsenal so hopefully it'll be a faster/easier process.

 

[MSK_Chess]

brewing a stout I made up, has smoked malt, roasted barley, flaked barley, chocolate malt and rolled oats in it.
