So who's brewing this weekend?

[TandemTails]

I brewed up a Rye Saison this afternoon. This is the third time I've brewed this recipe, but I scaled this one up a little bit since It's going into a 3rd use bourbon barrel after primary fermentation. I'll add some brettanomyces claussenii when I rack it into the barrel. I love the way the brett-c compliments this beer.

This version was hopped with Galaxy. I may or may not give it a dryhop charge before bottling.

This was the closest I've dared filling my kettle pre-boil. I was at 9 gallons before the wort hit a boil. Fortunately I added about 2mL of fermcap and it prevented any boilovers.

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

Not this weekend. Probably in a few weeks I will brew a British mild. Will be 5th time repitching Wyeast 1968 and, IMO, end of life unless others will chime in with their opinions (meaning maybe 6th pitch or more?). I do really enjoy the brews I've made with 1968.

 

[seatazzz]

Up early for an ambitious double brew day; first up is a Sabro/Citra IPA, just about to mash in; once I have this one on the boil I'll mill the grain for an American Strong. Have to run for propane at some point, but should have everything buttoned up by 2pm. Was going to brew both days, but after a week's vacation I have to go into the office tomorrow to get stuff taken care of, and make brownie points with the boss.

 

[Joshua Hughes]

Planning to brew an ESB in a few.

 

[AJinJacksonville]

Lord willing...I'll brew up my brown ale...going to try it with Galaxy and Cascade for a change. We'll see how that turns out.

 

[Joshua Hughes]

I’d be interested to hear how that turns out. I’ve not more cascade in my freezer than I’d like And I want to brew a brown ale soon.

ESB mash Has begun

 

[Konstantianus]

Made my wort yesterday evening for a Scottish 70/- and overshot my OG by 10 points. Will be pitching Wyeast 1728 Scottish this evening once the wort is chilled.

I overshot on an 80 shilling and it turned into a nice stronger Scottish ale.

 

[grampamark]

Brewing a lawnmower beer. 85% 2 row, 12% white wheat, 3% carapils. Centennial and Citra to about 30 IBU. 30 min mash, 30 min boil. Something simple and light to keep the summer pipeline going.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Just mashed in on my latest homebrew, my first time brewing a neipa.

 

[grampamark]

Done and cleaned up. 5.5 gal of 1.040 beer into the fermenter. Should finish around 4%. A HB equivalent of Busch Light, but with that extra, added ingredient called “flavor”.

 

[seatazzz]

Temperature jumped up faster than expected, so ambitious double-brew day turned into "the heck with it, I'll get up super early tomorrow and brew the other one". Citra/Sabro on Loki (used a scant cup of slurry from the last one) took off running after only 2 hours, going great guns now. At least got the grain milled for tomorrow so I can truly get an early start. Oh look, beer.

 

[Joshua Hughes]

Got the EBB in the fermenter and yeast pitched. Temp didn’t drop quick enough for me so I pitched slurry at 74. Under 70 now on it way to mid 60’s for the week. Smooth day overall.

 

[BongoYodeler]

One of these days I'm going to have a drama-free brew day.

One of these days I'm going to have a drama-free brew day.

Yes you will.

And they you'll wake up in the middle of the night remembering you forgot to sanitize something or completely forgot the bittering hops etc...

 

[_BullDog_]

Pale ale with Kviek yeast... we’ll see how it turns out

 

[Stingray73]

Munich Helles mashed in already this morning!

 

[duncan.brown]

Sparging a Zwickel based on Urban Chestnut's recipe now.

 

[Scottyward]

Many firsts. First all grain Oktoberfest. First time going right to a 5 gallon keg to ferment. First brew using my tilt hydrometer. Day 2, so far so good. Keg sitting at 50 degrees for two more days then up the temp Daily. Only 12 more weeks to enjoy it In October. Added last dry hop to a double IPA which should be drinkable in about a week. First Double IPA. Enjoying my First American Ale on tap. Finally got the foam problems worked out. Happy Baseballs back. Go Rays.

 

[Mark3885]

Brewed The Cream of 3 Crops Cream ale , used real long grain rice instead minute rice which was last nights dinner . Boiled the long grain rice for 20 min then into the mash. My mash temp was at 144 but no room to add any boiling water. OG was 1.054 using Cellar Science Cali yeast , SO-5 sold out around here. Just started working after 3 hrs. First time using rice .

 

[camonick]

Brewed another batch of Pilsner today. Going to re-pitch a slurry of 34/70 that came from a Vienna lager a week ago.

 

[rhys333]

I think I'm going to do a kveik this week or weekend. I have a packet of the Voss strain that I'd like to trial (Lallemand dried yeast). Any pointers?

 

[jvbrewer]

Just finished the second batch using my new Grainfather - Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone. Used the recipe from the Sierra website but had to change bittering hops because my LHBS was low on Cascade. Used Columbus and Centennial.

All the numbers look good.

Love the ease of the Grainfather.

 

[BrewMan13]

May brew up a hazy IPA. It's on the schedule, but I'm a little behind on my drinking, as the current beer on tap where it would go just got put on 10 days ago...

 

[z-bob]

I might. I have some 1388 Belgian yeast in the fridge from a mead I made late last year. I'm going to try to revive it and get a starter going. If it's still alive (should be) I will brew a Belgian pale ale, about 5.5 or 6% ABV. Pilsner malt, a little Munich and sugar, and probably Tradition hops.

I did not know there was a dried version available! That's great; if mine gets contaminated it will be a lot easier to replace. I really like Voss, although it's pretty slow to carbonate; probably because I'm conditioning at 70-something degrees instead of 85 to 100.

I only found out recently as well. We finally hit summer temps here and I just discovered that I'm almost out of beer. Perfect time to try this beast!

 

[Joshua Hughes]

Going to Brew a Helles. Still working on grain bill.

 

[Buddhaman]

Kicked off 6 gallons of Vikingr Blod mead. This is my first mead and I decided to go big versus only doing a gallon.

 

[Abrayton]

Munich Dunkel for my wife’s rescheduled rescheduled graduation party.

There's a whole thread to peruse

 

[shetc]

Doing something a little different this weekend. Going to brew a berliner weisse with oak smoked wheat, and secondary on Andean mora pulp. No kettle souring, just using my sourdough starter as the yeast/lacto fermentation source.

 

[jcav]

Right now I am in the middle of a mash step on a Munich Dunkel Lager. After a few step rests I am going to also do a decoction, for a malty smooth lager experience! Have a great day everyone!

[jdauria]

Brewing a Festbier tomorrow.

 

[seanjwalker1]

About to brew up the 5 gal Brittish Golden ale

 

[jcav]

^ Nice, have a great brew day!

[HB2 HughBHomeBrew]

Just mashed in. Making my "American Export Lager."

 

[Senormac]

It has been so hot here in the daytime, I waited till about 8:30 pm to start a 5 gallon extract IPA on my back patio.
At 10:24 I was done and just left it there (with the lid ON ) to cool till morning. Night brewing is kinda peaceful actually.

 

[Konstantianus]

Currently mashing an English Brown(ish)

 

[RCope]

So this is my brew bucket on top of my fermentation freezer... I brewed the base IPA for a Mango addition today and this is my first use of Lallemand Kveik Voss...Pitched at 90 degrees. Brutal afternoon brew day because, well, it was 90 degrees
