So who's brewing this weekend?

[JonM]

It’s 34°F! Practically spring!

In the middle of brewing Pappers’ Dortmunder Export lager recipe.

 

[BikerMatt]

Brewing a batch of my house IIPA tonight. Pale/munich/crystal 50 + magnum/amarillo/challenger. 100+ IBU, 10+% and it's gooooooood!

 

[Ogroat]

I’ve got a rye pale ale going today. Haven’t brewed a rye beer before and have probably only drank one or two, so I’m interested to see how this turns out. The bettering addition goes in at 30 minutes too, so I think I might be able to shorten this brew day from the normal 60 minute boil.

Ended up brewing Sunday and got 5.5 gallons of wort at 1.102 for the imperial stout and then partigyled to get 3 gallons of a porter at 1.061.

Doing a Motueka cream ale and a Simcoe/Nelson pale in a wicked doubleheader. Borrowing equipment to run batches faster - will start second mash when first sparge is done. Have a few friends helping out. Should be a great Sunday morning

 

[MHBT]

Duvel clone on saturday

 

[sborz22]

A citrus pale ale tomorrow

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Completed a Maple stout and Coffee/vanilla stout. Needed something to fill these buckets with wyeast 1056 (aka Ten-fidy clone).

 

[brewcat]

A citrus pale ale tomorrow

Thursday isn't really the weekend. I have a stout lined up. Should have the weekend to do some other stuff.

 

[BikerMatt]

Been brewing pretty much every single weekend after christmas so might sit this one out as I have to fix up my car for MOT inspection and brewing through the night always F's up my rythm, end up sleeping through most of sunday and then not getting much at all at sun-mon night so mondays been extra hard lately...

 

[helterscelter]

Brewing an Amber Ale Sunday morning.. gotta do a starter tonight!

 

[z-bob]

I just finished grinding the malt for a 5.4% ABV porter (90% pale 2-row, 6% black patent, 4% crystal 20.) I'm going to brew it tonight -- I know it's a late start -- and then I plan to brew another beer on Saturday. That one will be an experiment brewing with K1-V1116 wine yeast. Just pilsner malt and a little Vienna; i'm hoping it turns out Belgian-y and about 5.7% ABV.

I better get off the Internet and start heating the water...

 

[MaryB]

Brew moved to Saturday... had to run to town for something today and with a 60 mile round trip that killed 2 hours.

 

[jonny24]

Got a free pound of local grown Cascade - well, in exchange for some beer made with it. I'm going to do a series of beers using it in different ways to show the grower what they can do.

First up tomorrow is my pilsner recipe swapping in the cascades instead of Perle and saaz. If I feel ambitious I may do a double brew and do a pale ale as well.

 

[bovine_OB]

Munich helles as the inaugural brew on my diy herms system. Real excited for my first light lager. Probably a poor choice for a new setup but i already had the ingredients from my old system.

 

[BudgetBrewer]

Finally doing a black ipa. Didnt have cara II, had to do some quick calcs and sub'd in roast barley and a lil black malt. Got a bud from work showin up to see a brew day. Hes been getting my old gear to start into this rediculous obsession we call a hobby. lol.

 

[mr_stout]

I am brewing a stout this weekend. Surprise, suprise. LOL.

 

[KonservativeJay]

I brewed what is hopefully a Founders Centennial IPA clone for my wife today. Used the harvested yeast from the Arcadia IPA clone kit I made for her father last weekend.

 

[MaryB]

And had to move brew day to Tuesday. I got up at 10:30(I am a night owl, got to bed at 4AM!) and it was 36, great, a warm day! By the time I had breakfast and 2 cokes(my version of morning "coffee") the temp had dropped to 28, I went out and setup to brew and it had dropped to 26... nope not brewing. To cold for the garden hose!

 

[BikerBrewer]

Just finished brewing a batch of Irish Red for St. Paddy's Day.

 

[TANSTAAFB]

Relaxing after a busy beer day...bottled the last of a couple of kegs to free them up. Love the ball lock adapter for the new Intertap tower!

Cleaned the kegs and filled them with my split batch saison...WLP644 Sach Brux Trois, WLP590 French Saison, and US 05 for a clean comparison. Brewed a PA/ IPA with Falconer's Flight 7 C's and YHC CryoHops Citra and pitched the 644 and 590 because why not?! [emoji16][emoji482]
All cleaned up and watching useless football

 

[seatazzz]

Worked at the taproom brewing this morning, and took my pay in grain. Mashing in on an IPA now, next Saturday will do a Rye Stout. Been a while since brewing.

 

[MirImage]

Brewed up Flanders. Way colder than I expected it to be but chill time was quick.

 

[Dcpcooks]

11:50 min later I have 11 gallons of 1.129 imperial stout in the fermentor. Blew a pump and had to get creative on the transfer to the fermentor but she is in bead with a nice dose of 02 and 5 pacs on Nottingham. Night y’all

 

[ProblemChild]

Awesome day - overlapping brews. Nelson pale and a cream ale. both batches hit gravity unit targets, still have to adjust volumes for the hoppier ales, but all targets were hit. Did have a problem with doing a protein rest on the cream ale as my saccrification rest came in at 146°F, but since I did not mash out, the sparge should have picked up any missing conversion. ( if there was any to get)

One goof, installed a whirlpool arm and forgot to put the pick-up tube in the kettle - D'oh!

Both batches came out very tasty out of the kettle and here's hoping that the fermentation and trasnfer goes well.

 

[jhart94949]

Making a Rye IPA (MonteRYE-PA). Yeast starter on stir plate as we speak.

Just mashed in. Later in the day than I wanted. But it's so freaking cold! 33f!
Dammit Georgia isn't supposed to be like this.

 

[KIDD69]

I’m going to do a pre-Super Bowl brew tomorrow, which will be a lemondrop blonde ale. It’ll be the first time using these hops and I’m interested to see how much “lemon” flavour is present. I was going to use a bit of cascade as well but want to see how the lemondrop stands on it’s own.

 

[davem301]

Depending on the activity level of my kids, I might be. Kids age 8, 5, 18mo. and 18mo.
If the stars align I’ll be brewing an American Honey Wheat.
