So who's brewing this weekend?

[gestyr]

I am brewing up an IPA right now!

 

[z-bob]

Think I'm finally going to brew Revvy's Kentucky Common recipe that I've had bookmarked for several years. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/...ntucky-common-ale.290419/page-11#post-8509335

I haven't decided whether to add a tiny bit of aroma hops (Mt Hood) or just go straight Cluster @ 60. Either way would be historically accurate from what I can tell.

How long are you supposed to boil the yeast ?

 

[toms_Jeep]

Planning on making 3 batches this weekend. Red Ale, Brown Ale and Milk Stout.

 

[CWood]

Superbowl day brewing a pre pro pils with locally grown 6row, polenta from a a still-functioning local mill, and cluster hops. Mt. Hood to finish.

Unfortunately my ingredients we're delayed by the weather, so I will have to wait until the next warm spell here in eastern Iowa.

 

[Pkbomb]

I'm not new here been reading for 5+ years but today I decided to subscribe and be active.

I'm brewing a 10gal batch of an Imperial Stout with Blackberries. I want to get something similar to Founders Lizard of Koz. It's for my gf bday she's dark, but sweet inside and she loves Stouts so

Funny, those are the exact ingredients I'm waiting for, 11 gallon batch two different yeast. US05 and s-23 lager yeast for a side by side. It'll be my " working in the yard" beer theough the spring, if it lasts that long.

After waiting two weeks will finally get to brew my Brown Something on not-so-super Sunday. Not interested in watching the game (except of course the commercials), but hoping the Rams beat the Paytriots (misspelling intended, YES bitter Seahawks fan here). Just need to get some more propane and exchange the co2 tank tomorrow. And my mother gets to come home tomorrow after only a bare 10 days in acute rehab from her stroke, going to be a great weekend! Just gotta get through work tonight and BFF's Bra party tomorrow before brew day is ON. Sometimes a girl has to be a girl, then she's a brewer again.

 

[Elkobrewer]

Just finished up my first brew of 2019. 5 gallon, Jucy IPA. Maybe I will do an Irish red tomorrow

 

[shoengine]

Got some leftover grains, doing a SMaSH with 12 lbs. of Golden Promise, citra hops and US-05, should turn out good, anyone have ideas on a hop schedule, I have plenty of hops for whatever

I made a GP Citra SMaSH last and it turned out well.

Brewing a Wicked Weed Pernicious clone

 

[treacheroustexan]

FedEx just delivered my French saison yeast and lavender flowers for one of my NHC entries. Will try to brew that this weekend. Just turned my fermentation chamber down to 38 to cold crash my red kolsch.

 

[z-bob]

I did the cereal mash for that Kentucky Common, and just finished grinding the malt. I was a half ounce short on the black malt so I added a half ounce of black barley; should be close enough. This is my first time using Sauergut (German noun, that's why it's capitalized) to acidify my strike water.

 

[Bluefin]

Brewed my SMaSHarillo this morning. Awesome 5 hour brewday with my Robrobrew V3

 

[Dfelix2918]

Currently Brewing a Belgian Tripple for the first time. I have 2 pounds of candy sugar I plan to add the last 5 minutes of the boil. Any thoughts?

Brewing this weekend? Yes! HELLES yes!!!

 

[SpottedDogBrewing]

New Holland Hoptronix Clone

 

[seatazzz]

Brown Something mashed out well and is preparing to boil now. Wort is quite sweet with some nice roasty/toasty notes. Looking at BJCP will be either a British Dark Mild or a British Brown, depends on what ABV we get. Damn proud of making my first beer with my own roasted/caramelized malt. New jacket for the mash tun did great as well, only lost 2 degrees where I usually lose 5-8. Only hitches in the day are I lost my pitcher for transferring (it has got to be here somewhere) and we have a co2 leak in the kegerator which I cannot find for the life of me.

Just brewed a Pale that I think will be a complete hit. A friend form the LHBC joined me for a brew day with his recipe and ingredients. He had some limitations at the moment with regard to brewing at the house, so I was more than happy to oblige.

Batch is a simple grist of 82% GP, 15% flaked oats, and 3% GNO. 5.75- Targeting 4.9%ABV (1.049 OG)

2 oz of hops @5 were an ounce each of Vic Secret and Denali

20 min Hop stand @175°F of the same hops and distribution
20 min Hop stand @160°F of the same hops and distribution

Yeast is Imperial A38 Juice

Two stage dry hop - 7 days and 3 days
Each dry hop is 2 oz of each Denali and Vic Secret.

All numbers hit during the run. We were a bit over a quart over volume, so @10 min I added corn sugar to boost the gravity to target. Only needed 3 points over 6 gallons, so 9 oz was enough to account for the gravity (plus a touch extra to account for refractometer correction factors)

Being the airlock sniffer I am, I had to check this morning. Bubbling away like mad. Krausen is high so I scraped a sample off the top to squirrel it away. The smell is just amazing. I am looking forward to this batch.

After many weekends of crappy weather including the polar vortex, it's in the upper 40s here today, so I brewed an Oktoberfest-like lager. Nearly 1/3 each of Pilsner, Vienna and Munich plus a tiny bit of Melanoiden. I added a heap of Willamette as late addition hops so we'll see how that works with everything else.

 

[jschm19]

13 gallons of dunkel yesterday.

 

[TBeard17]

Brewed an IPA with 2 Row, crystal 20, Vienna, and honey malt. Used all El Dorado. .5oz at 60, 1.5oz at 10 and another 1oz at flameout. Trying to decide whether to DH with 2oz or just 1oz at day 5.

Middle of the week brew this week.

 

[AF1HomeBrew]

Hoping to brew a triple batch of Gordon Strong's Helles recipe from his "Modern Homebrew Recipes" book on Saturday. Really depends on the weather since I have everything ready to go.

 

[Andrew Hodgson]

Sunday I will be brewing this recipe:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/hi-nelson-nelson-hopped-saison-w-hibiscus.474462/

and I will ferment with the Saison Parfait from Bootleg:
https://bootlegbiology.com/product/saison-parfait-new-world-saison-blend/

Haven't done a saison in awhile time to get back into the Belgians.

 

[schematix]

i think this is my first ever wednesday evening brew. didn't leave work early or anything. just had my wife turn power on for the strike water about 90 minutes prior to starting.

the basement brewery is really hitting its stride.

 

[jturman35]

Brewing my first ESB this weekend!

 

[6Tap]

This Sunday I will be kegging 15 gallons of WC IPA rev.8 and then I plan to brew an 11 gallon batch of xxIPA rev.#3.
I completely changed
My grains and hops for this one hoping to lighten it up and have a very drinkable 8.7 % abv beer.
Problem I have now is all my kegs are full
of beer so I will have to get bottling and drinking HB tonight! [emoji482]
