So who's brewing this weekend?

[MaryB]

Brew day Monday, might be 70 degrees! YAY warm weather! Tired of freezing my butt off winter brewing! Just my "house" ale all my friends drink way to much of!

 

[seatazzz]

Just did a keg inventory, I've got TWO that are about to kick so brewing tomorrow. Just fiddled with the Caribou Slobber recipe to make something closer to a porter/stout, will add some oatmeal to the mash to make it chewy, and will do a reduction during the boil to up the maltiness. Will use willamette for all of the hops instead of the Goldings & Liberty, want the earthiness of the Willamette since I'm also adding 1/2lb of peated malt. Should wind up with something interesting.

I'm brewing an extract batch of pale ale. First batch in 3 years, but definitely not my last.

Well crap. I had planned to brew a batch this weekend, but I'm working at least 3 more hours, after being at work for 14 hours. Then right back to work tomorrow. I'm gonna have to brew on tuesday. When I get back home.

[angry_gopher]

Just making a Cerveza from LME, nothing too adventurous. Actually started the process on Wednesday but without good temp control, I've been doing a lot of baby sitting.

 

[RedlegEd]

Hi all. Sorry, late post. Brewed a nice, basic Kölsch on Saturday. Should be ready near the end of May. Perfect hot weather, lawnmower beer! Ed

Getting back to brewing this weekend with an attempt at a steam beer (ale temps with lager yeast) using a new yeast I have acquired, wlp800. It was nearly out of date so I grew it a bit in a starter over the weekend.

I am very excited and hopeful this works out well. I have no reason to doubt that it will be great!

 

[day_trippr]

Finished up a customer job in the wee hours this AM so I could do a brew today.
Then I overslept so I'm just hitting the ramp to mash out now

Gonna be a long day...

Cheers!

[edit] Done and done. 10g of 'Murrican Wheaties in the chamber.

Happy...and hella pooped...

I am brewing this weekend.
Belgium tripel. My highest ABV brew and first yeast starter.

The starter seems to be going well.
Making up for the fact I only brought one pack of mangrove jacks belgium tripel dry yeast when I needed two.

I have a 50L pot in my eHERMS so MT volume should be ok but its more grain than I have had in it before. Lots of firsts for me this brew.

3L starter. Photo was last night and I got lots of CO2 when I shook it this morning.

 

[BudgetBrewer]

Going to do a Falconers Flight. Last time i tried it, ended dumping it all out. Tried a newly available locally grown grain. Was pretty bad. Time to experience the good stuff again. Love those hops.

 

[catdaddy66]

Going to brew a steam beer with wlp800. First time doing anything like this though I love my California common. Hope all goes as planned.

 

[rossi46]

Did a NEIPA last weekend, tomorrow will be a Kölsch.

 

[oakchips]

Brewing an Extra Strong English Ale - 6.5% beaut called Spartan Hoplite

 

[Sparkncode]

Great start to prepping for tomorrows brew day. I went to rinse my bucket i use to transfer filtered water to my HLT. No outdoor light by my garden tap but the water looked dirty. The photo is what i saw when i got it under a light. Stunk of chlorine too .

We have been having problems with dirty water in the town supply intermittently since they decided to start chlorinating it a year ago. Filtered properly the water is good for brewing as it comes from an aquifer. They say the sediment is being released from the pipes by the chlorine as last year was the first time they chlorinated the water in the city.

I've been through two sedement filters so far. Still on my origional carbon filters though. Looks like i will be using filtered water for cleaning over the weekend brewday.

I better run the filter real slow as stronger than normal chlorine and an aging filter isnt ideal. If I get up early enough I might boil then alloe to cool to mash temps to drive off and chlorine thr filters don't get. I unfortunately havent got any campden tablets but thr filters do a good job. I do have spare carbon filters if the water fails the taste test.

 

[Jtk78]

Just mashed in on an IPA that I'm using cryo hops for the first time. I'm also doing an amber ale tonight for a brew club competition that's coming up

 

[Sparkncode]

My first belgium tripel is mashing now.

6.9kg of grain so my biggest mash yet.
With the false bottom in my 50L pot is working fine with the recirculation.

When i first built the setup i had some stuck or nearly stuck nashes but ever since I filed the pickup so it always leavs a gap for liquid to flow even inder the weight of the grain its been good but this being my miggeat mash to date and using mainly pilsner malt for thr first time it was an unknowen.

Currently recirculating with the pump output fully open and no issues.

The crush didn't seam as broken up as usual but grains that looked intact had cracked as they broke when handled. Maybe i should have crushed them again but too late now. Either my mill adjustment has slipped or its a characteristic of the gladfields german pilsner I'm using. The broken chinks seamed normal size.

Not brewing but filling up three kegs with my marathon 3 day brew weekend from 2 weeks ago. First time I've had grain on hand and not jonesing to brew....literally nowhere to put another one. Unless I do another lager that would need to sit for 3 weeks....and I'll have the carboy empty....jeez I hate this hobby sometimes. (NOT)

 

[JensenLewis]

Just mashed in on an IPA. Rained like crazy all day yesterday and woke up to bright sunny skies! Hopefully taking this one on a guys trip to one of my buddies cabin in just under a month.

 

[spookymilk]

Racking my peanut butter imperial stout into the secondary fermenter today. My track record with stouts has been uneven at best, but it's my favorite style, so I guess I'll keep failing until I get it right.

 

[EtchyLives]

Tomorrow marks the beginning of IPA season. Got a 12 gallon batch of Texan Punk Monk all lined up, this year with some Vic's Secret as the dry hop addition. Excited.

 

[jbee]

Brewing 5 gallons of a hearty mead from my bees honey.

 

[El Nino]

2 gallons of apple cider. figured it was more cost effective to grab some organic apple juice and make some cider in the process, while getting a couple of gallon glass jugs for free

 

[catdaddy66]

Brewing 5 gallons of a hearty mead from my bees honey.

That's a lot of honey! It shall be delicious though.

I wasn't able to get my grain prepared as my lhbs was closed today. That means no brewing tomorrow but I have an alternate plan. As an anniversary gift I got my wife some tomato and pepper plants for a container garden (at her behest). It will be my task tomorrow to get this completed.

It's our 11th, btw... Ain't love grand??!

 

[Home_alone1]

This weekend I’ll be botteling a kolsch and then brew a Hefeweizen to refill my keg .

 

[brewbama]

I brewed Drew’s Beecham’s Patersbier: Father’s Reward Enkel today. https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/patersbier-the-lawnmower-beer-of-trappist-monks/

View attachment 568144

It came in at 1.046 which gave me a 78% BH efficiency which is not bad for the first time transferring, recirculating, and whirlpooling with the new Chugger pump.

[MaryB]

Brewed today(well yesterday..) 11 gallons of my "house" ale all my friends drink as fast as I can brew it!

Mid sparge in the picture...

 

[DHomebrews]

First thing in the morning will be the beginning of a double brew day for me. I will be brewing my first NEIPA, and also a summer wheat beer. I may be biting off more than I can chew, but with a couple birthday parties coming up, I want my kegerator filled with some of my homebrews for the guests.
