So who's brewing this weekend?

[jdauria]

Brewed a Czech Dark lager Saturday morning. Kitchen smelled fantastic, lots of chocolate/coffee aromas coming out of the Foundry!

 

[mattman91]

I've had a busy travel schedule with work over the last few months so I'm taking the day off.

Brewing a NEIPA today with Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy all in hopstand and dry hop.

70% Golden Promise and 10% each of White Wheat, Chit and Malted Oats.

Verdant IPA yeast.

Cheers!

My brew system has been sitting idle in my garage for 2 years... I need some motivation to brew something this weekend... My grains, even though stored airtight, are probably useless at this point.

 

[mattman91]

Ended up at 1.056, missing my target OG of 1.067. oh well. Still dry hopping at the same rate, so it's going to be hoppy as frick!

 

[seatazzz]

After the fiasco last weekend of stuck mash & sparge (although the beer is fine), today I milled much coarser and will brew up an IPA with CTZ, Chinook, Mosaic, & Citra. In the mash now, about 30 minutes to turning on the pump for recirculation and see if I did it right. And hopefully later today Fedex Stagecoach Service (at least it seems like it traveled that way, taking a week to get from CA to WA) will deliver the new line and fittings for the kegerator; had planned to get that installed while brewing but, oh well.

 

[Abrayton]

Not brewing but I added apple brandy soaked oak cubes to my imperial birthday brown that’s been conditioning for 6 months. Beer went crazy when I added it. Haven’t seen this before, pretty sure it’s infected. Will still wait on it 6 more months and see what happens.

 

[Punx Clever]

Just did a Mosaic-Citra American Pale Ale this morning! I'm calling it "Mo-Tra" because I am not clever at all.

 

[kent_a]

Yep, brewing a fresh batch of my blonde tomorrow, have plans on entering it into the Brewers Cup this year.

You able to share the recipe or is it a trade secret!? I've made the Centennial Blonde and it was good but not exactly my favorite, looking to try a different light beer for visitors.

 

[jcav]

Ramping to mash out on a Fuller's ESB clone. Smells wonderful out here!

 

[Steveruch]

Not gonna make it till the weekend. Planning a festbier for tomorrow.

5 days in the keg/fermenter and the Verdant IPA yeast is smelling lovely with Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy. I'm definitely getting the apricot. Can't wait to dry hop this!

 

[Abrayton]

3rd annual Christmas imperial stout tomorrow

 

[grampamark]

Brewed a basic American Lager. 45% 2 row, 45% Pilsner, 5% flaked corn and 5% table sugar. Magnum and Willamette to about 15 IBU. .070 first runnings, .050 preboil, .060 into the fermenter. My BMC drinking friends and family should be happy.

 

[Falstaff]

Nope.

 

[Dr_Jeff]

I brewed 10 gallons of a Belgian Wit and 10 gallons of a Rye IIPA today.

First time brewing at home in about a year.

 

[seatazzz]

Just milled the grain for My Very First Full BIAB WF Lager (a very weird children's book title too). Got a lot of family stuff to do tomorrow, as well as a wee bit more shopping, but tomorrow early morning is MINE. Got my new bag, pulley setup, and this last weekend finally fastened the surge protector that my pump plugs into off the floor, using a lot of velcro. Tomorrow is either going to be an epic success or a disaster; either way I'm sure I'll post updates because that's what I do.

 

[govner1]

Brewing another 6 g AG batch of Janet’s Brown ale with my daughter.
It’s mostly sunny and a balmy 73°F!
I’m sure we’ll get winter payback soon.

It’s -10° F here and snowing. You could send me 40° and we’d be about even.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Like @govner1, I'm taking advantage of the 70F forecast for tomorrow to brew a Pliny the Elder clone.

 

[Abrayton]

Brewing a blonde and this monstrosity on Wednesday. Started out as a simple 4 grain stout until I decided to clean out my grains and started dumping bags in.

 

[Pkrd]

Putting down a pale ale tonight. Using a new hop variety Pacific Sunrise paired with Galaxy.

 

[DBhomebrew]

Have declared to the household my wish to brew this weekend. If the planets align, I'll do so.

11-11-11 Gunstock Ale
UK pale ale malt
Amber
Brown
Invert #4/treacle (got a bit of both, not enough of either)
Target bittering

Bootleg's Old Ale blend (my 1st Brett)
Medium Hungarian oak in primary

 

[MaxStout]

5 gallons of Yooper's oatmeal stout, with 8 oz lactose. Waiting on the sacc rest now.

 

[DBhomebrew]

Surprise opportunity to brew this weekend. Twice in as many weeks!

Ron's 1939 Fullers OBE

Going to sub the glucose and caramel together for whatever invert I've got in the fridge. A little #2, #4 definitely. Time to wake up some Pub.

Thanks for the inspiration, @Protos

[Protos]

Wow, great!
I too decided to brew the 1939 version instead of the 1935, which I planned initially.
It seems a bit less extreme in hops (42 IBU vs 67 IBU) and alcohol (6.6% vs 7.1%) than the 1935.
Would be nice to compare our concoctions when they're ready!

First of all, I don't have 6-row on hand. Second, I figured the lower stats you mentioned might require less conditioning. Would love to drink it with March's lion.

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

I'll be brewing a close version of @Miraculix best - classic english ale. 15gallon batch, first brew of 2022 for me. Yeast starter is chugging away. First go at this style and really looking forward to it.

Hope it's Pub!

I hope so too

Got a pack in the fridge right now, next beer will be the MB as well for me

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

Sure is, after reading all the emphasis on using that yeast I made sure to get me some!
