So who's brewing this weekend?

[Mutant]

Currently working on a simple blonde ale using GP with very small amounts of melanoidin, flaked barley, rye and maltodextrin, using WLP007 and Cashmere. Shooting for 6%, SRM=5 and IBU=26

i'm brewing today? does it count if i milled the grain yesterday? lol, at any rate, expect it to be added to the 2019 tally by the end of the day! (i'm tired of hanging out with the sissies in the cider forum, 6 months and they haven't even made it to 300 yet! )

Brewing a wheatwine on Saturday....should be fun.

 

[Oldskewl]

Which Wheatwine recipe are you using? I'd like to do a Barley or Wheatwine later this summer.

It's a kit from the folks at Austin Brewhouse. Easier for me to do all grain kits now-dont have alot of storage in my brewery corner-and no homebrew shop nearby.

I'm doing a Blue Moon clone this weekend. Totally stoked. All while finishing off my blonde ale in the keg and sampling my bottled brown.

Brewing a blonde ale this Friday. It will be based on Victory's "Summer Love" which is a toasty and hoppy blonde ale and it will be ready for the 4th of July. My version will be a little more sessionable for this hot summer heat. Also will be tapping my Belgian Wit that I made prior on Father's Day.

What did you do with the Wit? I'm doing the typical coriander, orange peel and Kent Goldings. You do anything special? I'm doing a dry yeast (prob T-58 from what I'm reading on the forum) unless my LBHS has a White Labs Witbier strain in stock.

 

[Genuine]

Brewed a Pale Ale !

 

[Andrew Hodgson]

Just got an opening on Sunday. Time to try out Kveik yeast on a Pale Ale.

I do the typical recipe as well. Mine has pilsner, flaked wheat, flaked oats, and Munich malts and Wyeast 3944 (Belgian Witbier) yeast. I use blood orange and tangerine zest (not the white pith), Indian coriander, and I like to throw in some ground black pepper corns (or three color pepper corns) for a very subtle peppery background flavor. I also use Hallertauer Mittelfreuh hops as I like that hop in my wits. Good luck on your brew day, it's a great style that is one of my favorites.

How much zest would you estimate you use? I planned on zesting a couple of oranges to get what the recipe calls for (.75 oz); curious to see what you went with.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Going to brew a 5.5 gallon batch of Irish Red Ale tomorrow after work. Only working until 10:30 so flame-on should happen by 11:00-11:15. Recipe called for 1.5 lbs of caraaroma, but my LHBS only had .5 lbs left in his inventory. Suggested subbing the rest with Special B. Looks like it upped the SRM to a darker color, per Beersmith. Hope it's not too dark, but really hoping it doesn't alter the taste too much. My 1.25 gallon test batch, brewed in the late fall, was freaking delicious.

The plan now is that this will also be my first beer I'm kegging. So I'll be over on the Bottle/Kegging discussions pouring through the posts to pick up some pointers.

 

[OnePlate]

I'm hoping to get the time to brew my first pilsner this weekend. Excited to get my first lager under my belt!

 

[GoeHaarden]

Surprise day off tomorrow...

Teeing up a kettle sour Gose in the morning. Hopefully finishing it on Sunday...

 

[SteveH aka shetc]

Doing a plain old Merikin cream ale

I would go with 2.0 ounces for a 10 gallon batch or 1.0 ounce for a 5 gallon batch to start with. You can always add more next time if you want. Also a lot of the citrus flavor comes from the Indian coriander. For this new 10 gallon batch I just made I went with 3 ounces this time to see the difference. I will then adjust next time if I need to use less but I just wanted to see if it was better. 2 ounces in 10 gallons is very good though and great place to start.

[HB2 HughBHomeBrew]

On vacation as of noon today - planning a two-fer: Pilsner this afternoon and IPA tomorrow!

 

[bluedaisy0627]

Brewing a RIS loosely based on KBS. Just milled the grain. Will do an extended mash tonight and finish it Saturday morning.

 

[Y34H67]

Brewing a Ferocious IPA extract kit from NB. Getting that process down to move on to BIAB!

 

[dstockwell]

Hoping the experiment (3 gallons) comes out as a Crimson Pilsner. Starting with a simple pilsner blonde ale grist, 1ml hop shot @ 60, 1.25oz hibiscus @ 5, and .5oz of centennial @ 5, using KY-97 yeast.

 

[BreeBrew]

Just got an opening on Sunday. Time to try out Kveik yeast on a Pale Ale.

Very interested in the result and how fermentation goes. Ordered a pack of OMEGA Yeast - OYL-091 - Hornindal Kveik yeast for a green bullet hopped ipa.

I expect to Brew it on Sunday and bottle it on Saturday, which would be nice.

Unfortunately had to push this until Sunday. On the bright side I get to spend time with the Grandkids.
