So who's brewing this weekend?

[Rob2010SS]

View attachment 593838 Was shooting for 151° but I guess I’ll take it. Love brewing with the help of my four year old but was praying he didn’t give my thermometer a bath!

How much did that thermometer run you? You like it? How fast does it read?

 

[Abrayton]

If I remember it was on sale for about $20-$30. It’s a ThermoWorks. Reads in 4-5 seconds and I really like it.

 

[BongoYodeler]

I brewed yesterday. Two firsts: First one gallon batch, and first time brewing two beers in one day. I went all Bee Cave and brewed the pale ale and the robust porter.

 

[boxboybrewing]

Brewing a red ale on my back porch today. First time the sun has been out in a week.

I finished an American Wheat about an hour ago. I didn't start until 4 PM...

 

[AZCoolerBrewer]

Just tucked in an Imperial IPA. Columbus for bittering along with a 30 minute addition. Simcoe at 5 minutes and EKG at flameout. I’ll dry hop with Centennial and the last of the Columbus. OG was 1.073. I was shooting for 1.075 so close enough for me. Wort was very fruity.

I want to get a brew in this weekend, but it depends on whether it rains or not. If the rain holds off, it's Altbier day on Saturday.

 

[Andrew Hodgson]

Got my aged hops and Lambic yeast, so next weekend on Sunday I will brew up a quick 5 1/2 gallons of lambic to age for a year. Then to plan my Mosaic SMaSH.

 

[Mitch S]

Brewed up a Holiday Red on Sunday using some new (to me) techniques. Probably one of my better brew days, too. The 60 degree morning temps also made it easier to stand outside with the kettle.

 

[Abrayton]

Nugget and cascade pale ale Saturday morning.

 

[seatazzz]

Too much going on this weekend with working and football on Sunday, so slagged off work early and mashing in on the house favorite Crystal lager tonight. If things go right will be done by 9pm with cleanup and all. My last WF lager is going to be a dumper (34/70 does NOT like going past 3 generations we've learned after 2 failed batches) so need something to replace it. S-23 does better the more I use it so it's now my go-to WF lager yeast. At least until I taste this one in a week or two...

Brrrrrr 60 degrees. Cheers from AZ.

Brewing a wee heavy this weekend. Though I can't decide if I should do it tonight after work, or in the morning...

 

[OG-wan Kenobi]

Brewed up my fifth batch of the Treehouse Julius clone and the neighbor's chickens are very please about it
I could do this brew in my sleep at this point, hit all my numbers easily....

Cheers!

How close is your clone? Which recipe do you use? Is it the one DrGMG has posted on this site? I am trying to find a solid clone I get it fairly often but for $9 a can and that's an expensive 4 pack - Thanks

I'm brewing a Porter this weekend, but still debating English or American yeast

 

[bleme]

I haven't brewed since Saint Patty's so I am very excited about the pale ale I am brewing tomorrow! I'm currently sitting on about 190 lbs of grain that is just screaming to be mashed!

 

[6Tap]

I am brewing an American Stout tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

 

[Sbe2]

[raclark69]

[tgolanos]

It's Altbier day today!

 

[Rodent]

about to pitch yeast on an Imperial Red IPA that started the day as a bag of crushed grain, a yeast starter, and water

and to top the day off - the Sox win Game 4 while I'm racking to the carboy!

 

[Dland]

Racked last week's brew to kegs to spund, a somewhat malty higher ABV all barely lager. Tastes good, still working some at 1.012.

[Brewbuzzard]

Brew buddy and I brewed 16 gal of Bohemian Pilsner, tripple decoction. Everything went very well. We hit all the marks.

 

[Carrie Fleming]

Apple cranberry cyser! Small batch to drink young and sweet!

 

[BrewMan13]

Brewed up my pumpkin ale. Brewed by request only, not something I care for much anymore, though it is pretty solid for the style. Got great efficiency at least.

 

[Murphys_Law]

Brewed my Bulldog Slobber on Sat. It’s an ESB with some rye thrown in for fun! This is becoming one of my standard beers on tap.
