So who's brewing this weekend?

[jonny24]

DIPA - for Father In Law per his request. Bringing it up to Montreal at Christmas. His favorite beer

hops - Strata features along with Citra and Mosaic.
yeast - A38 Juice
Complex grain bill, but it works quite well in a double - 9.5lb 2-row, 2lb Vienna, 1.25lb red wheat, .75lb flaked oat, .75lb carared.

Is that raw wheat or malted? I don't see many people specifying red or white wheat so that's what made me think raw.

I'm planning on brewing tomorrow but I have no idea what yet. Probably a pale ale or my house pilsner to build up for Christmas... but I might change my mind completely.

Is actually red wheat. Seems to be a bit more of a creamy mouth feel than white wheat. It kills in NEIPA. I also do other pales with it and love the stuff. good conversion/extract with it. It is a smaller kernel, so watch during milling.

I really like it in pales where I do about 10 lb 2-row, 1 lb red wheat and .5 lb 40L.

Ahh, sorry I should have been clearer.. is the red wheat malted?

yup - better be

 

[jonny24]

Maybe I'll try malting a little bit- my dad works at a grain elevator so I have access to all the raw corn, wheat and rye I want. I've only used a bit of corn so far in a cream ale.

Just finished a double brew day. A dark American brown @ 1.054 using WY 1318 and a Citra ipa @1.059 using a bunch of cascade and Citra and wy 1056. Also kegged a steam beer and a centennial blonde, so all in all 20 gallons of beer made and/ or kegged. Now time to have a cold one!

 

[jcav]

Brewing a Fuller's London Pride clone tomorrow with Target, Challenger, and Northdown hops that I was able to source from England!

[MaryB]

11 gallons of my house Ale Monday, warmest day in the next week at 48

 

[jake-k]

Doing a brewing demonstration for all my co-workers today. I'll be serving cream of three crops and brewing a centennial blonde. Should be an interesting day. No pressure lol.

 

[deere322]

Brewing up a Brown Porter right now!

 

[ChelisHubby]

I am making a porter for my friend , he liked the last one. This time we are changing the hops a little and adding flake barley to try to get more head without changing the flavor.

 

[shellsbells]

I got in a brew day today. Was finally able to get my hands on some El Dorado (it's been difficult to get around here for the last while), so used it in a pale ale with citra & mosaic. And I'm making some bread with the spent grains. It feels like winter outside, so might as well warm up the house

 

[jcav]

I got a brew day in as well. Beautiful day here in Florida and I brewed on my lanai and what a smooth brew day it was. Hit all my numbers spot on! I brewed a Fuller's London Pride Clone, with a buddy. Already have airlock activity to boot! Plus my chickens loved the spent grains!

[schematix]

Pilsner today. First in a series of 3 nearly identical batches. Just changing up the hops... magnum/saphir, mandarina Bavaria, and magnum/hallertau.

Not sure if I hit my numbers. Refract and precision hydro couldn’t agree to half a degree Plato. Scratching my head on that one.

Weather was so so, but was nice in the basement.

 

[Transamguy77]

Just finished up making an oatmeal raisin cookie stout. Smells delicious! If it tastes anything like it smells it will be delicious!!!

 

[Jayjay1976]

Brewed a simple hefeweizen; 5 lbs pale wheat, 4 lbs german pilsner. Mashed for 1 hour @153 then 1 oz hersbrucker FWH and 60 minute boil. Was shooting for 1.047, ended up with 1.046. Fermenting with wyeast 3068 weihenstephaner. Airlock already showing signs of life.

Edit: this was my fist attempt at manipulating water chemistry; I used distilled water and added 5.2 stabilizer. We'll see how that turns out.

 

[kristiismean]

Brewed another 1 lb ipa (Using 1 lb of hops in a Five gallon batch, but not for bittering, I used Magnum this time). This one was cascade, with a standard 2 row, crystal grainbill.

 

[BikerMatt]

Thinking about whipping up a simple pale ale either next weekend or tuesday next week when I have a day off work and nothing I have to do. Would be a nice change to brew at daytime.

 

[stella_tigre]

Our usual pale ale recipe, featuring El Dorado as the primary flavor-aroma hop. Probably Tuesday, as the weather is supposed to be a balmy 45*F or so!
Edit - looks like a 10 gallon split batch! Just got some hardware to help with hoisting the extra big bag out of the 20 gal kettle.....hmmmm, maybe El Dorado in one half and a blend (Amarillo, one of the Cs, and Mosaic?) in the other....

 

[Jtk78]

I'm brewing a Belgian blond and a dry stout.

Pale+vienna+ bag bottoms of munich & fuggles, guess it'll be some sort of an apa or sth.

 

[treacheroustexan]

Doing a chocolate porter this weekend and going to add Maple Coffee from my french press to the keg. The coffee is from one of my favorite local/small business coffee shops I grew up near.

 

[hagar]

Looking forward to brewing a batch of house grog tomorrow. Turning my phone off, putting up the gate, and everyone can p1ss off. I'm busy.

 

[Jtk78]

Took tomorrow off work to brew. Doing a batch of dry stout and a Belgian blonde. Should be mashed in by 6am.

 

[Oldskewl]

Brewing up the Shipwrecked Saison Saturday evening. I brewed a NB variation of it with Moteuka over the summer. Using Saaz and Coriander this time with harvested 3726.

Winter ale on Monday ...

 

[lorne17]

Bourbon Barrel Porter boiling now!!

 

[jimyson]

Mashing in.

 

[ESBrewer]

Brewing my second batch of ESB and second ever batch of beer. The first one with wlp002 is fermenting (slowing down already) so I'll take it away from the cooling water bath to get the new batch in with the Ringwood strain (wlp005). So much easier the second time!

 

[JonM]

Did my favorite oatmeal stout recipe yesterday.
