So who's brewing this weekend?

[Jokester]

It's bad when you can't even get bottled water. I brewed a Blond Ale today full grain with the grandfather. Boring beer to make and not much on flavor, but I'm brewing for the neighborhood party coming up in early October and a lot of oldies that don't like real homebrew, so I 'll just put it in the keg in a couple weeks and into the cooler. By then hopefully it will get some flavor going.

Well what can I say, it was $2.25 for 2.5 gal last time I bought it. Gal jugs are now 1.08. However Harris teeter and publix were both over $3 for the 2.5 gal. Sadly, I'm going to have to buy that, or try aldi.

American Wheat ale in the fermenter and bubbling through the blow-off in less than 4 hours. We have company coming to visit in 3 weeks so I want to turn this one around fairly quickly. Went with Voss Kveik yeast, and since it can give some orange flavors I added some Valencia orange zest at flame out.

LOL the other one I've never owned. But I'm a vintage guy myself, though I've had my share of 80's and 90's poly cone speakers I knew it wasn't one I have ever had. This one is newer - early-mid 00's ?

Yesterday I brewed up a Mosaic Pale; and this is the very first time I'm really going LODO on a beer. It's in my fermonster with a pressure transfer lid on it, and my spunding valve for allowing the co2 out; dry hops are already in there, held up with magnets so I can drop them without opening the lid. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Yep, somewhere around 2005. I also have the PSB center and rear speakers, and a HSU sub (that I just received a new amp for yesterday). I had a nice surround setup for music listening when I had a dedicated music room back in NY. Now, due to lack of space in this house I only have the mains and a sub connected.

*Sorry for the interruption.

Brewed last Sunday. 3 batches, oatmeal stout, pale ale, and a Einstock White Ale clone. They all seem to be healthy and on their way to awesome.

 

[Abrayton]

Willamette and Cascade Pale Ale. Overnight mash and early brew morning tomorrow

 

[Bramling Cross]

With my keg of Panther Piss Ultra rice lager's floating dip tube starting to suck up stuff from the bottom, it was time to brew another batch to get me through to cooler weather. Can you call a beer that requires a three hour mash and a further 1hr runoff a LODO beer? I'm sure the LODO boys would recoil in horror, but this recipe gets the full LODO treatment anyway.

I never stop being amused by the fact that the absolute worst beer that I make is also the most technically challenging. Making terrible beer is a real challenge, but brewing it at 1.050 and 47 IBU makes it enjoyable.

 

[allgrainbrewer]

belgian pale ale, belma hop pale ale, and a saison

 

[Steveruch]

Cider.

Should dip under the 100° mark in the North Texas area next weekend so going to try and brew next weekend. May try and pull off back to back brews Saturday and Sunday. Blue Moon-ish Type beer that my wife and friends enjoy, along with a Lemon Drop Saison fingers crossed on the weather. May also try and make it to the new Homebrew store that opens in Dallas next weekend.

Brewing a Lawnmower Beer. I’m out of HB. Have a batch of Weissbier that I’ll keg while I’m brewing this fizzy yellow beer, but I need to get the pipeline filled up.

 

[South Arm Brew]

Is this the right thread? I’m brewing a blackberry Gose this week. Hopefully will enter it into a local brew competition my club is having. Fingers crossed!

 

[BrewMan13]

Brewed a sahti yesterday; missed most of my numbers. But the volume was spot on, and the yeast (authentic Finnish bakers yeast) got ripping in a hurry! Now to watch it like a hawk so I can rack it at the proper time.

Brewed up a Caribou Slobber from northern. Really don't like how their directions are worded as I might have screwed it up . So used to having a brew schedule to follow not just a gaggle of words. So I know I might have messed up this batch but hay in their defense it was 105 out and I was by the burner lol. So instead of 60 45 15 hops went in at the start of boil 45 into the boil and flame out for 15 min. if anything I think it might just give me an interesting beer non less. Sadly i cannot seem to calibrate my refractometer so i am unsure of the og of this batch. this weekend when I transfer to the secondary I'll be starting a honey nut brown for kegging. though might swap and bottle age that and keg age the other.

 

[MajorJC]

I'll be pressure canning some quarts of starter wort and sterilizing some glycerin on Thursday along with getting my starter going for a Friday or Saturday brew day.

Finally last weekend 31st is when I emptied and filled my mead 5 gal fermenter. I'll be doing the kombucha today/tomorrow.

 

[CharlaineC]

Will be brewing a 1 gal. german pale and another 10g of coffee porter

 

[allgrainbrewer]

brewing a belgian witbier and a specialty ipa using acid blend with magnum, nelson suauvin, mosaic, cascade mandarina bavaria and hallertau blanc hops! hoping for a wine aroma!

 

[CharlaineC]

well the german pale is off the tab. The kits missing a few things need to contact nmb.

 

[4_Sons_Brewing]

Finally cooling off in Texas (well it’s still 99° but early mornings are manageable). Going to brew @Wayne1 ’s Blue Moon recipe tomorrow. 2nd go at this, first one was a hit at my sons grad party. I’m going to split the 10 gallon batch and add Oregon Raspberry Purée to one 5 gallon batch and have one regular 5 gallon batch.

I|'m about a week late posting this, but last week I brewed up a saison. Pils, vienna, and rye malts, plus sugar. Magnum for bittering and saaz hops, Mangrove Jack French Saison yeast.
hit my numbers almost exactly. brewed last monday, and it's still glugging along. I haven't checked gravity yet, but I have to presume it's getting close.
