So who's brewing this weekend?

[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

 

[HVCBrewing]

Barley Wine with hopes of sharing at Xmas 2020.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Citra/Idaho7 IPA in the works.

 

[GnenieGone]

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

 

[CascadesBrewer]

Brewed a batch giving Sweet Potatoes a try for the first time (5 gal batch):

• 8 lbs - Pale Ale Malt
• 8 oz - White Wheat Malt
• 8 oz - Crystal 40L
• 1 lb - Dark Brown Sugar (Boil 10 min..opps...added at flameout)
• 3 lbs - Roasted Sweet Potatoes (Boil 10 min)
• 0.1 oz - Pumpkin Pie Spice (Flameout)
• 2 Tbsp - Vanilla Extract (Flameout)
• Wyeast 1084 - Irish Ale

 

[Brewbuzzard]

Brewed 20 gal of Dusseldorf Alt.

 

[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.

 

[Abrayton]

First attempt at a DIPA. Hope to come in a shade over 9%

 

[shetc]

First attempt at a lager. Going to use the Brulosophy Vienna lager recipe from the Short and Shoddy series. Going to keep my lengthier brew process but use the warmer/shorter fermentation technique.

I did this with my first lager, a Munich dunkel and it turned out great.

 

[shetc]

That's awesome! Did you do a diacetyl rest?

[BrewMan13]

Unfortunately a pumpkin ale, lol. I always joke this is the beer that makes me feel like a professional brewer, as I only make it for other people, not myself. But I aim to please so every year it gets made

 

[n2652t]

American Brown Ale, and possibly a pumpkin ale if I have enough time. The ESB I made a couple weeks ago is almost gone :-(

 

[brewbama]

I am planning to brew my riff on a Dunkel tomorrow. It’s a Brown Ale grist (2-row Pale, Med Crystal, and Chocolate) but with Magnum and Tradition hops and 34/70 yeast.

 

[seatazzz]

Beer pipeline is fairly full (has not happened in a while) so will probably not brew this weekend, but will make up another batch of the House cherry/apple cider. Fermented the last batch with Nottingham instead of cider yeast, and much more impressed with the flavor.

 

[Saunassa]

I had to go into the office (telecommute) 140 miles each way in thursday. I knew I would be tired so taking today, Friday off. Going to brew a cashmere blonde ale.

 

[BikerMatt]

^ Visiting Minnesota one day is on my bucket list, just hoping it won't be winter then, I've heard it gets mighty cold there.

Out of grains so cleaning bottling and organizing for me ATM... Might even crank up the hot room

1914 Courage Imperial on Saturday.

[CascadesBrewer]

I managed to get myself into a similar predicament. I can fit 3 kegs (or 2+2 Torpedos) in my beer fridge. I have all the keg spots in my fridge full (maybe 9 gals of beer), and a Sweet Potato Ale that will be ready to keg this weekend. I plan to bottle off the Imperial Stout that is in a keg, but that will just make room for the Sweet Potato Ale.

I was wanting to brew a batch of "Imperial Oatmeal Porter" (really just a high 7.5% Oatmeal Stout that people complained was not roasty enough for a stout...so figured I would just call it a Porter). I wanted to do a 5 gal batch and do half oak aged but maybe I will just do a 2.5 gal batch and plan to bottle it. I also have some 1 gal hop samplers that I have been wanting to do.

Maybe I should just bottle the stout...keg the Sweet Potato Ale...and try to get caught up on housework...but brewing sounds more fun.

 

[schematix]

Decided last night to take a vacation day and get in a brew day. First in 6 months. Just dropped 10oz of hops and 2oz of hop hash into the whirlpool.

 

[Abrayton]

Yes I did

 

[shetc]

Obviously making up for lost time

[rweird]

pumpkin ale in the morning. a slightly different recipe than the past couple of years, hopefully it turns out well.

 

[seatazzz]

Not doing anything beer-related (except drinking it) this weekend because surprise nasty case of the flu. Still have plenty kegged anyway. But...next weekend will brew up a Strata Smash, as YVH finally has Strata hops available and amazing husband ordered a pound for me. Silver City Tropic Haze uses them and it's delicious, hoping for something similar. And hope to be recovered enough by tomorrow to keg the NB Blonde that's been crashing since last weekend.

 

[jcav]

Grinding grain and heating strike water for a crushable Cream Ale I am brewing today!

John

 

[CTS]

Made a Nut Brown Ale! Can't wait to try this one out!

 

[gencinjay]

Brewing an amber ale for the first time today. Hoping it turns out well.
