So who's brewing this weekend?

[Soufeastboy]

One of my favorites...DARTH DOG. A smoked bourbon barrel porter made with a tea from Jack Danials smoking chips. Tried something a little different this time. I mashed at 144 - 146 degrees this time to increase the ABV. Seems to haveworked so far.
My OG came out to 1.082 rather then around 1.06 from the brews before.

Brewing a grisette with the White Labs Maranon Cacao yeast today.

Please report back on your thoughts on the yeast.

Please report back on your thoughts on the yeast.

The starter tasted and smelled great. Got a lot of lemon character out of it, along with the usual Belgian/saison phenols. Starter went from 1.040 to 1.008 in 24 hours on the stir plate and felt very dry. I pitched 300mL of slurry into 5 gallons of 1.043 wort at 72F and I had airlock activity in under 5 hours. It's been going crazy all day today but is starting to slow down a little now. Ferm temp has been around 74-75F internal, which is at the top of the White Labs stated range. Airlock smells great too.

Got an opportunity to brew this weekend, have base malt have yeast have a gas bottle I should use up before going electric anyway, have no hops and not a clue what to brew... If I order tonight they shold make it here by friday, just gotta figure out what I need.

Edit: I do have a bag of juniper blocks I've been drying for a wood beer experiment... Perhaps a some sort of a scottish ale or sth infused with juniper? Never done a wood beer so a bit unsure how to add it, tea perhaps?

Wow! Took my beer from 1.043 to 1.008 in ~36 hours and seems to be done already. 81% AA.

I’m brewing an American Stout this weekend. Revision #2. 1st time using Flagship yeast for a Stout. Soooo excited to ditch this busy crazy work week and focus on brewing and having a great time.
Cheers HBT peeps!

Going to do 10 gallons of Saison tomorrow. Spun up two new-to-me Imperial strains this week to bank some.

They aren't kidding when they compare the flocculation between these two. The second pic was taken ~20 minutes after I stopped the plates - both flasks had hit terminal gravity. The B51 Workhorse dropped like freakin' gravel, while the B64 Napoleon looked like wheat flour. It's taken three days at near 32°F for the latter to drop almost clear, so I'll put the beer using the former on tap before the latter...

Cheers!

I'm going to do an English bitter using pale ale malt, some homemade dark invert syrup, Goldings hops that just came in the mail, and S-33 yeast. No crystal malts.

Also I may start a 1-gallon batch of mead.

Is it difficult to make that syrup? That was my original idea too but I'm too much of a wuss to boil 150°c sugar so went with muscovado instead

I made it in a pressure cooker in canning jars, at about 120°C. Mainly to see if I could do it.

Done and done!

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

Plans to brew a Spotted Cow cream ale on Saturday of the Memorial Day weekend. Getting things ready now.

 

[rhys333]

Thinking about brewing this amber ale this weekend...

 

[seatazzz]

Grain milled and everything set up for an early brewday tomorrow. Decided to do 8lbs of pilsner with 2lbs of two row for a bit of color, with Saaz at 60, 30, and 15 for a nice light lager. Will ferment cold on some S-23 slurry that did a great job on its initial brew; I've found that this yeast does fantastic in the 2nd-3rd-4th generation. Sipping on some Bell's Two Hearted clone that continues to improve after a few weeks in the keg tonight. Is it morning yet????

 

[Chris-Naz]

Fired up a brut-ish NEIPA last night w/Citra cryo, comet, centennial and amarillo. Fermenting with BRY-97.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

First hop addition is in.

 

[grampamark]

Brewing a Dunkelweizen, drinking a HB Mosaic APA. Just kegged the PA yesterday. It's not quite fully carbed, but Uncle Charlie said "It takes homebrew to make homebrew", so I’m just following the rules.

 

[ramjam]

brewing a kölsch wort but going to try a voss kveik yeast, has any of you guys done this before?

 

[camonick]

I have a pale ale penciled in for tomorrow

 

[Dland]

Cellar is going to warm up soon, so hope tomorrow to brew the last cool fermented lager of the year. My plan is to use some top notch malts and S-189 yeast.

For 10-11 gallon batch, considering;

10# floor malted weyerman pils,
5# admiral 2 row
5# briess pilsner, or if I decide to get creative, the briess would be filler to to 20#

Heading for mid 30sIBU, maybe Amarillo first wort, Pearl 30 min boil, & a post boil hop step between BK and cooling with leaf hops, probably use Cascade, wort drained into hop step at around 180F, set for around 10-15 minutes, then cool while pumping to fermentor in cellar.

 

[Abrayton]

Third week in a row I’ve tried to get a brew in but this one is finally gonna happen. Has to be an overnight mash and finish in the morning. Falconers Flight IPA

Hey thanks for the invite. Thats a bitchin setup you have. Look forward to hearing how that stout turns out.

 

[One4Liberty]

Brewed a simple APA.
8lbs 2-row, 2lbs Vienna, and .5lb crystal 40L.
Cascade, Citra, and Centennial hops
I call it C3PA. Tasty little brew.

 

[camonick]

Pale ale in the fermenter and 2nd generation Notty pitched. Smells good and hydrometer sample tastes promising. 1.053 OG (temperature corrected)

 

[ProblemChild]

Brewed an Amber (red) IPA.

Pale, Caramunich I, Munich,Special B, Pale Chocolate, Roasted Barley

Simcoe, Hallertuer Blanc, Mandarina Bavaria, Citra

Wort is really pretty....

 

[Brewbuzzard]

Brewed 15 gal of Kolsch yesterday then racked off the cold break this morning. Now to aerate and pitch.

 

[catdaddy66]

Sure hope to brew this weekend. I have two batches ground and ready to mash, and I am pretty sure they are the same (I had a brain bubble and measured out the same grist twice). Silver lining will let me use different yeasts for a change during identical fermentation schedules.

Brewing SMaSH Pale ale, with El Dorado
