So who's brewing this weekend?

[HB2 HughBHomeBrew]

Brewed yesterday which counts as the weekend!

Problem is, at 95 degrees air temp and water pipes that are not deep underground in Texas, my plate chiller only got my wort to hose water temperature of 84F!

 

[seatazzz]

Changed my mind (hey I'm a woman, it's my right), instead of the planned double IPA will do a warm-fermented version of the lager I kegged this morning. Been reading a lot of brulosophy lately, particularly the articles on lagers, and want to try my own exbeeriment. The only difference between this one and the previous one, is this one will get irish moss in the kettle instead of whirlfloc as we are slap out of it at the moment. Not too concerned about that since I've started using gelatin to fine the beers. Grain already milled and brewery set up for an early start in the morning.

 

[camonick]

Brewed another batch today. A Pilsner that I’m quite fond of.

 

[grampamark]

Brewing a CC APA (Centennial and Citra). Drinking a HB Boston Lager clone.

 

[VirginiaHops1]

I brewed a few batches beginning of June then got a bit lazy and didn't brew for a month, and my pipeline totally went dry. I've been brewing like mad the past few weeks to catch up. Bohemian pils, 2 hazy IPAs with kveik yeast, and I'm going to knock out an APA with kveik yeast later this week before I go on vacation for a week.

 

[Funkychef]

Just brewed an English dark mild. Can't wait to drink this one.

 

[treacheroustexan]

My LHBS had a Brewers Best Autumn IPA on clearance for $15. Little older ingredients but should still turn out tasty for the price. I'm brewing it currently.

 

[tofuguy]

Brewed a Pale Ale
45% Maris Otter
40% Golden Promise
10% Vienna
5% Crystal 20L

40min Warrior... 23 ibu
Whirlpool 1oz Amarillo & 1oz Simcoe for 15min

Omega OYL-200, Tropical IPA, plan to push this at 82F.

 

[dslater]

Small batch of Janet's Brown after a 2 year brewing hiatus. Nice to back in the game.

 

[Red Clay]

Same here, dslater! I'm just making an extract Hefe on my 5-gallon system since I wanted to do some pre-boil pH experiments.

 

[treacheroustexan]

Didn’t brew today, but I pitched some left over belle saison yeast into a small carboy with apple juice. Gonna forget about it for a while.

 

[Mutant]

Splitting 13.2 gallons of Marzen into three fermentations using: WLP820 (Marzen), WLP835 (German X) and WLP838 (Southern German). Hopefully they will be ready for October.

 

[imnotcassie]

Tangerine Summer White Ale. Should be ready for Fall Crawl with the Jeep folks.

 

[LWPitts]

Had a whole day to brew on Saturday so I decided to try out a couple new recipes, I brewed a 5 gallon batch of Down Under IPA with Nelson, Galaxy, Ella & Vic Secret. Then brewed another 5 gallon batch, a blonde ale with Cascade, Motueka & Citra.

 

[Cb9880]

Didn’t brew this weekend had to work. Saturday will be a 5 gallon batch of a new Marzen recipe for the fall.

 

[OnePlate]

Yesterday I brewed a session-strength American rye ale with Sterling hops. The slight spiciness is very pleasant; I've never brewed with rye before so this is pretty neat. Pitched my usual 2565 kolsch yeast. I'm really excited to see how this turns out!

 

[Mutant]

Tangerine Summer White Ale. Should be ready for Fall Crawl with the Jeep folks.

Curious about this recipe. It sounds good.

 

[BrewMan13]

Hoping to get a brew in this weekend sabro based DIPA; it'll be my first time using sabro. Since the last IPA kicked so quick, I gotta get something else on.

 

[imnotcassie]

Curious about this recipe. It sounds good.

It's from a local brew supply store. So far it's doing everything it is supposed to be doing. Fermentation started early the following morning... that was Sunday.

I didn't use the coriander.... haven't like the beers I've tried that had it so I left it out.

Thanks. "Deep golden approaching psychedelic amber!"

Fantasy football draft is coming up next month; the lager I brought last year was a smash hit, so of course I'm expected to bring a keg again this year. Planning on doing an Orange Wit this weekend that should be ready in time, just need to review some recipes and hit up the LHBS for the wheat and orange peels.

I’m taking some of my autumn ipa to my draft next month! (August 25th). Hopefully our homebrew drafts us good teams!

 

[pshankstar]

I haven’t brewed in months due to work and family schedules but I hope to brew again soon. I have a bunch whole cone Chinook, Cascade and Centennial homegrown hops. Along with some Columbus whole cones given to me. I want to use up some of these hops to make some room in my chest freezer.
Does anyone have any good IPA, Pale Ale or Session IPA recipes they have brewed using these hops? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I found the Bear Racer #5 clone in a BYO IPA Clone magazine I may try since it uses these hops, but I figured I would put this out here if anyone brewed a style with these hops with good success.

 

[Abrayton]

Imperial oatmeal triple chocolate milk stout today

Racer #5 sounds good. I've brewed the @Dude recipe for SN Celebration Ale and it was very good.

[Brewbuzzard]

Brew buddy and I are going to brew 20 gal of Hefe Weizen on Saturday.

 

[deadwolfbones]

Gonna brew a rye IPA with Opshaug kveik this evening. I'm transitioning back to 3 gallon brews because I can't get through 5 gallon batches fast enough to satisfy my desire to brew.

 

[Soulshine2]

Didn’t brew this weekend had to work. Saturday will be a 5 gallon batch of a new Marzen recipe for the fall.

just an FYI bit- Marzen means March in German which traditionally is the month Oktoberfest beers are brewed then lagered until consumption in mid September(Oktoberfest).
When I went to my old LHBS in March to look for a grain kit , they didnt have any. Confused , I asked why not. Most people who brew them make what is actually a (M)Oktoberfest so as to avoid the wait time. In about 20 minutes ,however, they had a kit made up for me to my own crafted recipe specs.
Carry on. and drink up !!

 

[Soulshine2]

Today's Brew is-
I'm brewing my wifes favorite again. Bavarian Hefeweizen (2nd time )via NB and AG(W/Tettnager, WB-06), step mash ,5 gallons.
The first one I made of this was my first step mashing experience instead of single decoction. She absolutely loved and is now down to 1 bottle.

Get another fermenter and a couple more drinking buddies.

 

[deadwolfbones]

Get another fermenter and a couple more drinking buddies.

I've got 11 kegs and a four-tap keezer. The problem isn't capacity.

(I do need more people to help me drink it, though.)

 

[schematix]

I haven't brewed in 4 months. Still have 3 full kegs ready to put on tap. Maybe in another month i'll kick some out again.

 

[Novacor]

Brewing a Golden Promise and Galaxy SMaSH tomorrow using Hornindal Kveik. Going to ferment hot and see if I can get it to finish up and keg it before I go on vacation next weekend.

Funds are kinda tight this week, so instead of brewing up the Wit I had planned, today I'll be doing something I haven't done in two years; a 10 gallon batch with what we have on hand. My system can handle it, I'm just lazy. Already had one issue, grain mill decided not to play nice and had to be taken apart and cleaned out (roller was stuck), hopefully that's the only one I'll have today. And it's going to be 90° later so here I am at 5:30am waiting on the strike to heat up. Doing a 10 because two kegs kicked this week, and the only other full one I had tastes like cr*p. This one will be two IPA's, both bittered with Cascade, with late additions of Mosaic & Galaxy; dry-hop for each TBD depending on what I've got left. Should be interesting.

 

[Abrayton]

crisp and clear IPA with a yet to be determined combo of mosaic, simcoe and Amarillo

 

[Andrew Hodgson]

This Sunday brewing a Gose, honing my base gose and using @RPh_Guy's quick/dry sour technique for the first time. This one some will be packaged straight up and some will get white wine added.

 

[jturman35]

Going to do my second ESB with some minor changes on this batch. First one was one of the best beers I have made.

I sometimes do this just to clear out random amounts of different grains that I rarely use. Good way to force yourself to be creative!

My what? Fast mixed sour with Brett?

 

[kingmatt]

I'm doing an overnight mash tonight on an Oberon Clone and will finish Saturday morning due to time constraints.
