So who's brewing this weekend?

[Dland]

Just run this out on beersmith, 1st draft on tomorrow's brew: 10+ gallon all grain(kegged volume.)

10 pilsner
5 pale 2 row
2.5 munich
2.5 rye malt
2.5 flaked rice
2 rice hulls

2 oz us goldings pellet FW
1 oz willamante pellet 60 min boil
1 oz " " 30
1 ox leaf ammerillo post whirlpool 15 min

est 6.5 ABV, 39 IBU.

Anyway, just a draft, perhaps this will look awful to me in the morning.

Note: Grain and hop selections based on what is on hand, not so much any style.

I'd ask what style you'd call it, but that would kind of be asking for it....haha

 

[A2HB]

Bit of Magnum and something called German Tradition early in the boil

[Staylow]

Kegged 5 gallons of doppelbock and brewed 5 gallons of Scottish light today. Tomorrow, I'm kegging 10 gallons of brown ale and brewing 10 gallons of APA.

 

[SRJHops]

Just pitched two packs of Safale-04 into my NEIPA 4.0. The white whale of the perfect brew day continues to elude me... Used 10.25 gallons of mash & sparge water with a goal of 7.25 gallons to boil (and 6 gallons into the fermenter), but somehow ended up with 8.5 gallons in the kettle! WTF! Decided to extend the boil to 80 minutes (using pilsner as base, so figured it might be good idea anyway) to at least get to 7.5 gallons. Just missed my OG of 1.069 (got 1.065), so all is looking good. Put 6.5 gallons into the fermenter. Changing up my schedule to focus on low oxygen brewing: going to dry hop on day 2 and not open the fermenter again; will bottle straight to bombers on day 14, using carbonation tablets in the bottle so I can avoid the bottling bucket. Hoping to hit FG of 1.019 and 6.5% ABV.

Braggot day! Well, just the beer part of it anyway. OG: 1.101 before the honey Going to add the honey in spurts so as to not overwhelm the yeast.

 

[deadwolfbones]

Brewed an all-centennial APA/IPA this weekend, using my homegrown hops alongside pellets. Will dry hop with Mosaic Lupuln2.

My lady is going out of town so I am going to brew the dark Saison recipe from Zymurgy from a couple months ago. I was going to do a double brew day just because but now I am not sure I want to spend the entire day brewing. Maybe I will do the 5 gallon dark saison batch and then do an extract Lambic recipe or something so it is not a full double brewday as far as grain milling, etc.

 

[BikerMatt]

Planning to brew a batch of my best recipe the 95 IIPA but kinda tempted to experiment flavoring it with orange peel. Just not sure how much to add onto a 90+IBU IIPA.

Also got the two batches in the primaries to bottle while mashing.

 

[WesBrew]

I was going to brew my Marzen two weeks ago but s@#t happens. But I'm for sure brewing it this Saturday.View attachment 590138

Same, I was going to make 10 gallons in July and lager till October. Just brewed it Friday night. One of those kegs doesn't have a chance of lagering. Kegerator is empty!

 

[Abrayton]

Red ale

 

[Andrew Hodgson]

Zymurgy had a saison feature a couple issues back, I am brewing Count Orloque, a dark saison with a target og of 10.090 and WLP 568. I am excited.

 

[brewbama]

I brewed a Düsseldorf Altbier today.

 

[stosh]

Irish red ale

 

[6Tap]

I will be brewing a chocolate porter this Sunday.

That will be one very strong beer sir, say 80% ABV.

 

[Novacor]

Brewing a pumpkin ale today. After brewing for years on my stove top with no problems, today the overhead vent fan decides to start dripping grease into my strike water as it heats up. Fortunately it all floated to the top and I was able to scoop most of it out with a spoon, and I'm hoping that pulling the bag out at the end of the mash will take more grease out with it, but I've given up the idea of having any head retention on this beer.
I also ended up using a smack pack dated June 15th, and have seen very little activity in my starter. I've got a packet of US-05 on hand just in case that ends up being a dud.

I'm brewing my first IPA today, in the general style of Bell's Two Hearted but with Dr Rudi plus Cascade hops instead of Centennial. Just finished grinding all the malt. I've brewed stronger beers before (by adding a little sugar), but never one with this much malt or this much hops, and never done dry hops.

I'd use that US-05 anyway.

Planning an ambitious day for tomorrow. Will get up at 4am to brew a Centennial SMaSH Lager a'la Two Hearted but fermented on 34/70 that's been doing well. While that's going will keg up the American Strong I brewed two weeks ago that's been crashing for the last two days, when I'm all done will have to finish the painting project we started today that was brought to a screaming (literally, like a little girl) halt by the hornets' nest we found in the backyard. Bought 10 feet of new hose today to replace the one I melted last brewday as well.

Good luck, or hope it went well.

BTW, did you know your local KTTC weather guy Ted Schmidt is a homebrewer?

Yes, Ted is a member of the local homebrew club.

The brew went pretty well, except the grain didn't absorb nearly as much water as I calculated, so I ended up with almost an extra gallon, and the gravity is kinda low (about 1.060, it should have been 1.07-something) So I guess it will be a "session IPA" (I hate that term, but sometimes it fits) I pitched the yeast, and it already had a krausen about 2 hours later.

 

[seatazzz]

Super excited that this Saturday will be part of a group brewday at a friend's house. There will be four of us, they all do partial mash and they're keen to see how my all-grain system works. Planning a Bear Republic Racer 5 clone, I've done it well in the past and it will be fun. Although loading all my gear in the SUV is gonna be a challenge...got my checklist written out and hope I don't forget anything!

 

[grampamark]

Not the weekend, but when you're self employed and semi retired, a Thursday is as good a day as any.

Heating sparge water for a Wit right now.

 

[z-bob]

I'm planning to brew a porter this weekend. I brewed it late last winter and fermented with S-33 yeast and it turned out really good. Haven't decided if I'll use S-33 again, T-58, Nottingham, yeast cultured from Bell's Oberon, or Voss Kveik. I have all of those in my fridge. (the Oberon is still in cans) I really like that I can pitch the kveik yeast at 80+ degrees because my immersion chiller sucks, so it may become my "house yeast" just for that reason. But it attenuates more than I really need for this beer.

 

[shoengine]

No brewing this weekend. Have to go to a wedding :/

 

[Desert_Sky]

Taking a floating holiday tomorrow to fish and brew.

 

[buckinin]

Mashing my first all grain brew after 46 extract and grains or partial mash batches. A Pilsner.

 

[homebrewer_99]

I measured out my grains then looked out the window and it's SNOWING...YEP...

 

[BikerMatt]

Heating up strike water for a Rauchbier as we speak.

 

[Vader ipa]

Bottled my ipa last night. Brewing my first esb tomorrow.
