So who's brewing this weekend?

[Abrayton]

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

 

[SteveH aka 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.

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

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.

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.

^ 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

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.

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

 

[SteveH aka shetc]

Obviously making up for lost time

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.

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

[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.

Just finished brewing a Bell's inspired American Amber Ale. Tried before to clone it without much success so this time I won't be disappointed if it's not indistinguishable. Got my hands on Imperial A62 Bell's House Ale Yeast which I just pitched to 5 gallons of wort brewed using a modified Bell's clone recipe. Excited!

Welcome! Been brewing long? Good luck with your beer.

Brewed an American Stout this afternoon, smelled good. It was the first stout I have done. I have made porters in the past though.

1 year all grain 1 year extract
Many Thanks and will post an update when done
Don't understand the wife when she thinks that I am crazy and do my happy dance when I only miss OG by .002

I'm liking the color [emoji4]

Drank one tonight for the first time in a few years...forgot how much I love this brew. When I first had it, close to 10 years ago, I was so impressed by it's caramel flavor and thought it was one of the best beers I had ever tasted. I feel the same way tonight. Good luck with the clone!

Strata hops arrived in the mail on Tuesday, and a nice SMaSH is planned for this weekend. I hate being one of the "herd" and following the new trends, but this hop sounds fantastic (kinda like Mosaic a few years back). I do love my House IPA done with Mosaic but it's time to try something new. Will go with 14lbs of two row, bitter with 1oz at 60, with late additions of 1oz at 10 and 5, and a 2oz flameout/whirlpool. Will decide on the dry hop after a few days in primary. Hoping for something stellar.

 

[Steveruch]

Planning on a coconut wheat beer either today or tomorrow.

 

[Abrayton]

10 points short on my OG. First time being that far off. Hmmm...
