So who's brewing this weekend?

[CascadesBrewer]

Brewing a WCIPA, this one will use Voss yeast.

West coast!

Same here! Using up some older hops and cracking into some new bags. Grain bill is American 2-Row, Malted Wheat and Crystal 20. Chinook, Columbus and Centennial hops! BeerSmith says I am over 100 IBUs, but this recipe does not seem very bitter to me. The recipe started as a Racer 5 clone that I have tweaked over the years.

The dry hop charge for 5 gallons will be 2 oz Chinook and 2 oz Centennial. I split the wort into two fermenters and plan to dry hop one at 70F for 2 days before cold crashing and dry hop the other at 40F for 2 days. The last batch I dry hopped cold and really liked the hop character.

Similar grain bill: 2-row, 10L and flaked wheat. Hops: hop shot, El dorado and centennial (101 IBUs) with el dorado/centennial for whirlpool. Same recipe as last month just changing the yeast. Voss is amazing. Pitched at 12 noon at 95 oC and already going strong at 3:30.

Wel i got 20lbs pale, ~1lb Chocolate, 12ozs crystal 60, and a pinch (~8oz) roast barley sparging right now, first runnings were 1.097, with my 7 gallons of strike water! should be good! (been getting tired of yellow beer, need some roastiness to make me feel well fed again!)

Brewed up a Amber Ale today. Hopefully it will taste as good as it smelled. My last few brews haven't been as good as I was expecting.

 

[mattman91]

Brewed an Amber Ale today. First time starting with distilled water and adding salts.

Hit my target OG of 1.051 right on the nose.

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

Not weekend yet, but I am doing the sparge for a best bitter. Been on a bit of a bitter streak lately, trying to make a base recipe for a best and a strong bitter that I am satisfied with, and use those as house ales and just do some changes with hops for variation.

 

[seatazzz]

Spur of the moment pale ale today, 10lbs two row and 1lb crystal 40 or 60 (somebody forgot to label the bag). Have to go in to work later, and my mom wants to go see my dad tomorrow which will be an all-day ordeal, so decided to hurry up quick and get set up. Usually at this time I'm already sparged out and waiting for the boil, this one might take a bit longer since the groundwater promises to be a bit warm for chilling by the time I'm done.

I had planned to brew a DIPA on Father’s Day but the incoming tropical storm is supposed to give us 3“-5” of rain!
Fortunately, I have only weighed out my grains and not milled them.
Maybe midweek. Should be nice weather and only low 80’s

 

[Section1]

Brew Day today. Got a Blonde brewed for something to have on tap with these hot as hell temps.

 

[Abrayton]

2nd annual birthday brown. Will age this one for 11 months on apple brandy oak cubes. Last years was bourbon oak

 

[bkboiler]

Made 2.5 gal of HBT Orfy's English Dark Mild. Love this recipe have made it several times.
Relatively new ish system to me still.
Third brew, nailed the gravity....so there's that.
But I had a stuck sparge and first brew day where I let the kids help...I was distracted and the diptube spun (somehow) so I left like half gallon of wort in the boil kettle that I didn't notice til much later...doh!
Overall successful tho...maiden voyage on new ferm chamber as well.

 

[Drewch]

Just put 4L of a Saison in the fermenter.

Local artesian spring water. Pale ale malt and raw wheat with just a dash of biscuit & caramel. Saaz and Styrian Golding. Imperial Rustic.

1040 OG; 28 IBUs; BU:GU=0.7

 

[seatazzz]

Bought a new mash tun yesterday, so of COURSE I had to test it out today! 5g of a kolsch-like thing with 9.5lbs pilsner and .5lb Munich, will use Tettnanger & maybe some Hallertau Blanc for the hops. And ferment on Lallemand Kveik dry for the first time; I've used the Imperial Kveiking and Loki in the past, intrigued to see what the dry version does.

 

[Romex2121]

Grabbed some RO water yesterday to brew up another batch of
Biermunchers Centennial blonde today , The last brew of Centennial blonde I made was without a doubt the best tasting beer I have made since I started this hobby, either I got lucky or I’m finally getting better at brewing

I have made that beer several times also. I really like it.

I'll be brewing today for the first time here in Alaska on a Klarstein 30L electric brewer on the remote island where I work.

It will be an experience, I usually brew at home on a 3 vessel system, but a friend shipped the unit out here.

We will be brewing a Super Saison today.

 

[camonick]

Beginning the mash on a Schwarzbier recipe that I’ve been told is a dead ringer for a Kostritzer clone. I’ll be attempting my first decoction mash today. Hopefully things go smoothly.

 

[Abrayton]

2021 rendition

 

[orionol73]

Brewed a Nelson Sauvin and Enigma hopped blonde, smashed my numbers with my highest efficiency ever! 10lb Maris Otter and 4oz Carapils

 

[ehall]

brewed my Ballantine clone and used kveik yeast this time. first time using it, it took off in about 2hrs. so far impressed but we'll see when we get to taste.

In the fermenter. 1.107 OG, gonna be a beast!

 

[CJ-3]

Getting my stuff together to mash tonight and brew a Vienna Lager tomorrow

 

[CascadesBrewer]

I kicked off the weekend by brewing a 3 gallon batch of a Saison (SMaSH with Pils and Hersbrucker) and split it into 3 fermenters. Belle Saison dry yeast, WLP565 Saison and Omega Voss. I have been planning to brew a 5 gallon batch of Saison and split it with Belle Saison and WLP565, but my 3-gallon fermenters are occupied for a few more days. I have been wanting to try and get 3 gallons out of my 5-gallon kettle (BIAB, just needed to sparge with 0.7 gallons) and I have been wanting to learn more about Voss (I have only used it in 3 hoppy beers so far).

 

[corkybstewart]

I brewed an IPA this morning with Centennial and Columbus hops. One keg will be dryhopped with Centennial, the other with columbus. 2 different IPAs from one batch.

 

[Pkrd]

RO water made. Grains measured. Grainfather given a rinse. Water heated. Salts added. Grains milled. 30 minutes spent looking for the top overflow pipe on the grainfather before realising I likely threw it out with the spent grain last brew day. Ugh.

 

[Abrayton]

Not the weekend, but mashing and starting the souring of a strawberry basil (maybe jalapeño too) kettle sour.

 

[Section1]

Getting things together to brew a Vienna Lager this weekend. It's a recipe I got from @camonick that I really enjoyed. I've brewed it once before and it came out OK so hoping to nail it this time.

 

[seatazzz]

Currently no IPA on tap, so I'm going to break out the Kveik slurry from the Kolsch and brew up the current House IPA; about 80/20 two-row/pilsner, with nothing but Sabro & Citra hops late, no bittering addition. Last summer when I did this one on Loki it had a HUGE pineapple presence with just a hint of coconut and was absolutely spectacular. Husband's b-day is this Saturday and we're going to the Mariners game and crashing in a hotel Saturday night, so might have to do this one on Monday (observed holiday for work).

 

[Lynxpilot]

My first ever (hopefully). Shiner Bock clone from AHB

 

[jcav]

Mashing right now on what looks like my final tweak of my "Oat Nut Brown Ale" that I am trying to perfect. Smells wonderful on the back lanai right now! Happy Fourth Of July everyone!
