So who's brewing this weekend?

[Gary Baker]

Wanted to brew a black IPA this weekend but I was pretty sick yesterday and still not quite feeling up to it today. I'll try again next week..

Feel better soon!

 

[Gary Baker]

Brewing a Belgian Wheat on Sunday...

 

[MrTimV]

Brewing a white IPA and a cherry/apple graf for the Mrs on Sunday. Both are experiments, so we'll see if either turn out to be drinkable or not.

 

[seatazzz]

Pondering on running out to the LHBS here in a while to replenish the base malt, only have about 9lbs left. And seriously thinking of trying my hand at a Bell's Two-hearted clone. I've got plenty of Centennial for it, and a lot of nothing-else-to-do today. Can keg up the Bastard clone today and just leave the keg in the house for a secondary kinda thing to free up space in the ferment fridge, and can also just pitch straight on the yeast cake after I take about half of it out for future brews. Ow that hurts! Somebody just twisted my arm....

 

[Patcreery]

I just broke into the world of legging, and my first batch is carbed up and ready to go, I have a feeling that it won’t last very long, as the samples that I’ve drawn off are delicious ( my west coast IPA recipe that I added wheat to to kind of make it “bicoastal “) so, I’m making a back up batch tomorrow...

 

[MagicRat]

A simple International Pale Lager - 8 Briess pilsen, 2 flaked corn, hopped with Saaz, WLP840.

 

[Duffman870727]

Rockin' a 40L German Pils brew, got my mash run off and waiting for it to come up to boil.

 

[6Tap]

Fill to boil so far. Long day...

 

[Tom Foolery]

Fourth NEIPA and first temp controlled fermentation.

 

[jcav]

Brewed a German Kolsch today. Beautiful smooth brew day and hit all my numbers. After I got done cleaning the wife had an amazing dinner ready for me. Great day!

[Brewbuzzard]

Brewed 15 gals of Hefe Weizen with a friend that has never brewed before.

 

[seatazzz]

Just put the Bell's Two-hearted clone I did today to bed. Missed my FG by 3 points but don't care. Smelled and tasted great going into the fermenter, and now slowly going down to 62 from the 68 it chilled down to. All equipment clean and fan running to dry the floor, and off to get something to eat before taking a nap before work tonight. Great brewday.

 

[imnotcassie]

Well thats right on target. I'm pretty sure there is no more activity. My best guess at the OG is between .055 and .061 (.061 is target) It's pretty hoppy and I'm pretty happy.

 

[yeehaw_charles]

Brewing my first Brut IPA this coming weekend.

[jturman35]

I’m going to shoot for Psuedue Sue Clone, never had it and can’t get where I live.

 

[HB2 HughBHomeBrew]

Planning this weekend to brew first my first lager since my return to homebrewing after 20 year "retirement." Going for a Pilsner - Grolsch clone idea. Trying to make something my wife will like. Going to try something new for me - Corny keg as fermentor since it will fit in the fridge I have.

 

[seatazzz]

Lager keg kicked last night, so since I had to keg my Mosaic Pils today anyway, decided to fill up that carboy with a WF lager. About 20 minutes left in the mash, already got the kegging done and carboy is soaking in the tub. Brewday is going well (knock wooden mash paddle)!

 

[geek_chaser]

I'm being my first lager. A harvest pilsner.

 

[govner1]

Brewing my Märzen on Monday. Moved my brew day from Sunday because of weather. I'll make a 3L starter Sunday PM.

 

[riceral]

Brewed 6 gallons of vienna lager yesterday.

 

[kjm13]

Did a 12g batch of a hoppy APA yesterday. Was a smooooth brewday!

 

[Chris-Naz]

Triple IPA named “Day Ender” in honor of Mr. Shapland. Bravo/CO2 extract for bittering, comet/centennial/amarillo and cryo simcoe for flavoring/whirlpool/2 dry hop additions. 16 Lb golden promise and 1.5 Lb sugar for a 1.091 OG.
Everclear + CO2 extract works well...

Expand on that extract thing please?

 

[seatazzz]

Hard to see in this pic, but yeast are getting going in the WF lager I brewed this morning. OG wound up at 1.061, still smells awesome in the brewery, and homemade crystal malt currently in the oven

is contributing some great smells as well.

 

[bracconiere]

my co2 tank is running low(going empty) welding shop is closed on sunday, planning a brew...probably going to have to drink moonshine (no vitamin's )

but hoping to de culm, and brew sunday! (and if anyone's wondering what i'm listening too, it's 'shout at the devil')

 

[Chris-Naz]

Expand on that extract thing please?

Hello seatazzz, I picked up the tip here via Mr. Shapland’s Old School IPA discussion: https://www.experimentalbrew.com/podcast/brew-files-episode-57-old-school-triple-ipa

1/4 cup everclear to 10mL of CO2 hop extract (probably too much everclear) led to a mostly soluble/suspension that dissolved well in the boil. I tried this b/c the last time I tried CO2 hop extract it turned into an ineffective mess that stuck to the side of my kettle and didn’t dissolve particularly well into the wort. Hope this helps!

 

[Gonefishing]

Brewing two smash beers today. Moving the batch in the fermenter to a keg, and doing some serious cleaning. I hope.

 

[jturman35]

Chelsea verse Liverpool on brew day!

 

[rhys333]

Finally brewing the buckwheat honey porter today that I've been meaning to brew for over a month.

 

[valkommen]

Knocked out an Avery Out of Bounds Stout clone on Friday

 

[Gonefishing]

Well, I kind of stretched the weekend a bit, but I brewed last night and tonight.

 

[Jonathan Swann]

I started a brown ale with pecans, I am new to the brewing world and wanted to try breaking out of my comfort zone. I boiled the nuts then roasted them dry, crushed the to blend with the mash. I’m hoping I got most of the oils out.

Prepare for blow off! Heh?

 

[catdaddy66]

I hope I can knock out my Amber rye recipe this weekend. It's my first use of rye... Ever.

 

[BrewMan13]

Looking to sneak in a stout before Easter dinner on Sunday. I've done all manner of stouts and porters over the years, but this will be a brand new recipe I've been tweaking for awhile. No adjuncts, flavors, etc, just a good old fashioned American stout.

 

[jdauria]

Brewing a Czech Dark Lager and a Munich Helles this weekend as previous versions of these beers have advanced to NHC finals so need to get them done ASAP. Tweaked both recipes to chase the elusive NHC medal!

 

[seatazzz]

Planning to brew another "hot" beer for a friend this weekend, who is contributing $$ to the cause (cause I need more bottles, grain, etc.). This one will be another amber, using my own home-caramelized crystal, and habanero peppers instead of jalapenos. Hoping for a sweeter, less-vegetal but still spicy flavor and aroma ale. Plenty in the home pipeline so can afford to brew for someone else. And will work on helping him with a kegging setup, he's got a tap on his fridge but needs a co2 tank and the hardware that goes along with it. I've got six corny kegs of my own, can afford to have one out "on loan" if it means I don't have to go through the hassle that is bottling.

 

[jschm19]

Another batch of brown ale today. 15.5 gallons into the fermenter.

 

[shetc]

Gonna brew some Muscles From Brussels golden strong ale
