So who's brewing this weekend?

[MaxStout]

Will be brewing some kind of an American stout tomorrow. Using some leftover grains. Vienna, chocolate malt, roasted barley, victory, a little wheat. Centennial for bittering, Columbus for flavor/aroma. Pitching US-05.

 

[Rob2010SS]

Brewing first Schwarzbier coming up soon! Using Wyeast Bohemian Lager. Kind of excited for this one.

 

[Sunfire96]

Haven't seen the Sounders yet, but a couple years ago we were in Portland and got free tickets to a Timbers game. That was epic. Cannot WAIT until we get to go see the Kraken! Yay hockey!!

Went to a Sounders game back before the Timbers existed and had a great time. I ended up behind a full soccer team of 2nd graders, but it didn't stop me from double fisting those 22 oz craft beers lol

 

[BrewMan13]

Brewing my imperial stout on Friday. Extremely regretted not doing it last weekend, so making it happen ASAP. Did the starter last night. Recipe has some tweaks, as this is one recipe I'm desperately trying to elevate.

 

[camonick]

Had a semi-unexpected day off from work today so why not brew? Made a batch of my house Pilsner. Should be a 5% German Pilsner if the yeast do their part.

 

[Abrayton]

Toasted oatmeal Stout if I find the time this weekend. If not, likely will move to Thursday

 

[BrewinInPA]

All-grain Dead Guy clone

 

[z-bob]

I brewed my American Porter yesterday. It might end up too bitter because I didn't hear the timer go off for the second hop addition, so the first hops got an extra 20 minutes or so in the boil. OTOH, it was just Willamette hops and they are not *that* bitter to start with, so 40 minutes vs 60+ is probably not a huge difference.

 

[WesBrew]

Split brew day in the works. Mashing a Marzen today. Boiling tomorrow. Looks and smells amazing. Havent made color adjustment yet.

 

[PCABrewing]

Just put 6 gal. of Blue Collar Coffee Stout (NB AG Kit) into the fermenter.

Now the cleanup begins. I was extra messy. Turned on the pump to recirculate the mash and I didn't have the spray head secured, so it recirculated me, the garage floor and the table, I'll probably find more as time goes on.

Oh, and Yellow Jackets LOVE wort! They aren't picky either, they are happy to take it right off your sweatshirt.

I thought the freeze this week would have killed them off but not so lucky

 

[2hennepin6]

Firing up my single tier, 3 keg HERMs set up-known as El Sistema tomorrow morning. It will be a chilly start here in So. VT. Hopefully the propane burners will cut the chill a little. Making a saison-7% ABV range. Basing my recipe around total water volume (15 gal) and will sparge until the hot liquor tank is empty. I broke the boil kettle sight glass so I don't have a good way to know when to stop sparging. I don't aim for the bullseye just the ballpark as far as style.

 

[Beerstein]

I promised i wasnt going to brew this weekend. Instead here i am brewing a spiced ale for a family member.

 

[cmac62]

I brewed my first real IPA in a long while. used 8 mm of hop shot at 60, 1 oz each Mosaic and Citra at 10, .5 each at FO and DH. Looking forward to this one. The yeast is US05 at 68.

4 lb MO, 4 lb pils, .5 lb each of Aromatic and C60. Should be tasty.

 

[lumpher]

Dry Irish Stout on the agenda for Saturday. Haven't had a Stout in a long time, and it's my favorite style.

 

[cmac62]

I need to beef up the pipeline and I think my next version of a Fezziwig Ale clone is in order.

Question: Should I add some Gluco amylase into my IPA to dry it out? I was thinking about it, but the body of the MO might be nice also.

 

[2hennepin6]

Dry Irish Stout on the agenda for Saturday. Haven't had a Stout in a long time, and it's my favorite style.

I hear you! Guinness, been there forever, always great. I can't narrow to a single favorite beer but if I had to Guinness would be near top

 

[balrog]

You @2hennepin6, @lumpher should try Josh Weikert's Dry Irish Stout recipe from Brew Your Best series. It is awesome.
I've made it 3 times now and it is quite pleasing.

 

[Bluekat]

Brewing a 5 gallon batch of nut brown ale this weekend. First brew on my Clawhammer system!

 

[Sunfire96]

Brewed a golden ale today (with American hops) and tomorrow will be an Irish Red

 

[seatazzz]

Torn between a batch of the House American Strong or an IPA....husband was making noises earlier in the week about a dump run tomorrow so I might only have time for one. Decisions decisions!! I'll have both fermenters free, so could do a double brewday on the Sunday....hmmm.

 

[wetmk]

Irish Stout yesterday, Chocolate Porter tomorrow.

 

[beerfactory]

Robust Porter for me today - strike water collected and heating by 0635

 

[kman6234]

Brewed a classic APA with cascade and centennial hops on Friday. It’s currently fermenting away and the brewery smells great.

 

[HB2 HughBHomeBrew]

Porter. Also got a Hop Box today from Yakima Valley Hops. Perfect timing

 

[Bramling Cross]

For two weeks running...I didn't brew this weekend. And that's a good thing.

All my kegs are full and they're full of good beer that I look forward to drinking.

I really, really wanted to brew this weekend, but I also like what I have on tap. I'm glad I didn't rush things. I can enjoy the beers I have for another week.

But one of them is going to die come Turkey Day.

 

[2hennepin6]

You show admirable restraint, Sir.

 

[JRHDBrew]

Not brewing. Bottled what was brewed 2 weeks ago. Spiced Amber Ale. Turned out beautiful. Perfectly colored and balanced. Would have like a bit more orange but happy none the less.

 

[cmac62]

I'm brewing something this next weekend, but have no idea what. Maybe a real Xocavaza clone.

Last weekend I got my new still working for the first time. Now I just need to get some wash going ASAP. LOL

 

[BongoYodeler]

Just mashed in.
Took the day off to brew another batch of my Apricot Wheat. I know it's more of a summer beer, but the temperatures around here never get too cold. Plus it's just so damn good.

 

[jdauria]

Brewing a small batch of Italian Pilsner Saturday, will be my second test batch as I dial recipe in to serve at a friend's wedding next summer.
