Just added the sparge to a little something I'm calling Clean the Freezer. Not enough of any one hop (except Chinook and Legacy, and some REALLY old Cascade leaf) to do a Smash, so going to bitter with Cascade and do late additions of Legacy, with a massive whirlpool addition of leftover Mosaic, Crystal, chinook, and a bit of Centennial to see what I get. First time using Light Munich in the mash, only difference I can tell so far is the mash doesn't smell like it usually does. Also got a light orange color to it. And quaffing the first glass of the Pale I kegged the other day; really impressed with this one, beautiful light amber color, hops played nice, and the home-caramelized crystal gives it a kick.

Just finished cleaning up from 10 g Raging Red batch.
Sippin on a Hopwork Orange. Football, food and maybe a nap!
Cheers, havent brewed for a couple months...Good to get my feet wet, literally. lol

Yesterday brewed a single malt 14 lbs 2-row and 1oz Magnum at FWH and 1oz Citra at flameout and 15 min stand. Whirlpooled and chilled to 64F and pitched a yeast cake, WLP 001 California Ale, decanted and pitched from fridge. 6 hrs later, bloop. Got up this AM and it is happily blooping away. Lovely sound. Sampled the Blueberry ale I made 2 weeks ago. Nice color, a bit on the dry side. low carbonation, more like a cask ale and it does taste better at about 55F. Nice
Blueberry finish on the back of the tongue. good thing I kept notes!.

Brewed an Imperial Stout. Used a 7 gal fermenter and it still blew the air lock off.

FINALLY able to post here! First run on my new Spike/Stout HERMS system. 7.5 gallon english ale.

 

[BrewMan13]

Planning to do my american porter. It's my most tried and true recipe, so no worries there, but this batch is slated for a competition in a couple months.

 

[ApolloSimcoe]

Northern English Brown Ale, Friday!

 

[Brewbuzzard]

Brewing a Dusseldorf Alt this Saturday at the Backyard Hardscrabble Brewery.

 

[brewbama]

Brewed a Czech Pils today.

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

Brewing a British pub ale on Saturday. Wyeast 1968 pack is smacked. Getting starter ready. Recipe formulated. Plenty of ice for wort cooling (no, not put into the wort. Ice used as a prechiller for the counterflow wort chiller.) All systems are go.

 

[Abrayton]

Rye ipa. Centennial and cascade. First time using whole leaf hops instead of pellets.

 

[kingmatt]

I'll be brewing a NEIPA on Saturday and trying my hand at dry hopping under pressure with a spunding valve.

 

[JaymzMF]

Brewing a big 10-11% RIS. Plan on putting right onto yeast cake of current 5% Pale Ale. Never tried this before, but am excited to.

 

[dwhite60]

As I am unemployed, every day is a weekend.

I brewed today. Remaking last months Strong Ale but with correct water hardness. Just found out my water is softer than Charmin so I used EZ Water Calculator spreadsheet to figure out my salts additions, mostly gypsum. Be interesting to compare this batch to last month's.

All the Best,
D. White

Particularly excited about this weekend’s brew:

Using spruce tips sent to me by @AkTom in a golden ale fermented with Aurland Kveik that I plated, streaked, isolated a colony, and built up to pitchable. Hoping it’s a bit tart, funky, and sprucy!

 

[beersk]

Tomorrow I'm brewing a black rye IPA with Hornindal kveik. What? Who brews black IPA anymore? Sounds like a nice style for that yeast. Birthday beer tomorrow! 36 already...

 

[TX_Brewing]

Tonight. 10 gallons of helles as per brewing classic styles.

 

[seatazzz]

Milled the grain last night for a Northern Brewer Blonde tomorrow morning (thanks babrewer). Haven't done a blonde in yonks, since I discovered lagers; but palate is craving something ale-ish, not super hoppy, and done quickly. Just gotta get through work tonight, then it's on like donkey kong tomorrow morning.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Going to mill the grains in a bit for a citra/Idaho7 ipa, brewing tomorrow. First time using I7 hops, hope it turns out good.

 

[Robert65]

Grain milled, hops weighed, water treated, Pils in the AM.

 

[greenjam]

Irish extra Stout in the fermenter with kveik voss

Small milk stout to build yeast cake for RIS. Using Omega 15, Scottish Ale.

[OnePlate]

The wife is playing Borderlands 3 so to avoid spoilers I've spent the day in the kitchen brewing a wheat beer and pitched a teensy amount of Tormodgarden kveik. Based on the flavor of the starter I made, this is going to be one hell of a refreshing beer! Nailed all my numbers and was the fastest brew day I've had to boot!

 

[ProblemChild]

Did a Dubbel. Swapped out 2 lbs of Pils for the Ashburne Mild malt (got it at a brew club meeting) Willamette And Styrian Alpha % is less than what showing here. What came out of the kettle was fantastic, now let see if I manage the temps correctly and get the esters rocking.

 

[Chris-Naz]

Did a 1.065 homegrown IPA this weekend with Chinook from my parent’s house in VT, Magnum from my back yard (MA), MA Valley Malt (pale ale and crystal 40). Fermenting with US05.
