So who's brewing this weekend?

[govner1]

Doing a 6g AG batch of my APA w/ my daughter tomorrow.

 

[grampamark]

Rained last night so no harvesting today. Brewing a Cali Common.

 

[grampamark]

Five and a half gallons into the fermenter. Beersmith predicted .052.

 

[Abrayton]

Attempting a wet hop IPA with Cascade on Sunday

 

[MajorJC]

Stop raining!! I need to finish my garage cleanout/re-organization so I can brew this weekend!

 

[pshankstar]

Last night I attempted to brew a Kölsch for the first time. Fingers crossed it turns out.

 

[seatazzz]

Just milled the grain for a WF lager batch tomorrow. Been working on dialling in my crush; I've owned my grain mill for a little over 3 years, and it's either mostly flour or too many intact kernels (motorized mill where I cannot change the rpms). This time conditioned the grain, sent first pass through at about .062, then second pass at .040. Much better looking crush with mostly intact hulls. Looking forward to seeing what gravity I get out of it tomorrow.

Lemon Drop Saison tomorrow - my first attempt at this beer. Have several other beer related chores to go along with it…. Kegging, cleaning fermenters, etc.

 

[Bramling Cross]

It's 10.15 on a Saturday night
BeerSmith's open and nothing looks right
I've got an open keg in the kitchen sink

And my mouse finger goes...
click, click, click, click, click, click, click

Apologies to The Cure. I've got an open ale keg and I'm not sure what to brew. I wish this summer would end because I really want to get on with the serious business of my UK program, but it's too hot for that.

Damn.

Maybe I'll find inspiration in the morning.

Brewed a brown this morning, had bubbles start this evening. It is a good day.

 

[HM-2]

Brewed an Amarillo/Simcoe/Sabro cryo double hazy yesterday. Hit my numbers and then some (1.076 target, 1.082 achieved). Split base of pilsner and MO with 15% wheat, 6% golden naked oats and 4% CaraGold. 10 minute additions of 15g Amarillo and Simcoe cryo. 25g each of Amarillo and Simcoe cryo in the whirlpool with 15g Incognito Sabro extract. Fermenting slightly warm (22°C) with WLP644 and had taken off like a rocket this morning.

 

[Bramling Cross]

Managed to find some inspiration this morning and wrote a recipe for a blonde IPA sorta thing. Should make for a drinkable September beer.

 

[OakIslandBrewery]

Grains mashing right now - a Saison. Perhaps a little late in the season but it will be enjoyed no matter the time of the year. Time to start another brew - got to get some coffee going before the brew day kicks into high gear.

This one's looking good. Nice vigorous yeast activity and my workshop smells like a tropical fruit punch.
Taking into account how much darker stuff tends to look in the fermenter, I'd say I'm about where I want to be colour wise

Should be about 9 EBC/4.5 SRM.

 

[riceral]

Put my newest rendition of an Altbier in the fermenter this afternoon.

5 lbs Pilsner
3 lbs Munich 1
3 oz Melanoidin
3 oz chocolate wheat

1 oz Perle (7.1%AA) 60 min
1 oz Perle 5 min

WLP 036 Dusseldorf Alt

OG=1.050

Our brewing group (not really a club, just friends who brew) are having another group brewday this weekend; going to do an Irish Red. Had a couple in Boston, and another at a little place in Enumclaw on Sunday. Forgot how much I like them. Trying to keep costs down, so will go with grain I already have, will have to buy some hops from LHBS, and going to ferment it on some proven Lutra slurry. I've used it with great success in my blondes, want to see what it does in a red.

Mine took a long time to come around. It just tasted off for a couple months or more. Eventually it tasted fine though. I didn't have that issue with WLP001. Can't say for sure the Lutra was behind the off taste, but I won't use it again on my Irish Red Ale.

 

[mattman91]

Brewing an IPA this weekend.

90% Golden Promise, 5% Caravienne, 5% wheat

A ton of Strata, mostly in the whirlpool. A little Strata and Amarillo Cryo dry hop.

BRY-97 yeast. Haven’t used this one before, but I’ve heard good things.

Hmm. Might have to switch the yeast to fresh Notty. What exactly was 'off', in your opinion?

It just had a weird taste that I can’t describe. Eventually it started tasting a bit better, like a generic red ale. Then finally weeks, if not months later it tasted like the Irish Red Ale I expected it to. I suppose I could have done something wrong while brewing, but I’ve made that IRA many times before without issue. Though this was the only time I used Lutra in it. I’ve used Lutra in other beers without this problem so maybe I had an old or bad batch?

 

[SlobberinDog]

Brewing my blue moon clone this weekend by popular demand. The Girl I taught to do leather work is coming in from college (fermentation sciences degree) and she’s excited to learn beer brewing as she is on the vino side of things. So it’ll be a party in the shop complete with beer, brewing beer, music and some good laughs for sure!

Oh!!!! And she’s bringing a few wines and a mead that she’s made. So I’ve got samples to partake in!

Then transferring the IPA I’ve got in fermenter over to keg and dry hopping it.

 

[bleme]

My club is signed up for a ton of beer events in Sept/Oct. It’s still over 100F this weekend but if I don’t brew now, I’ll never have enough beer for all of them…

 

[Beerstein]

Ive brewed twice this week. Probably do something with the hops in the yard on sunday. My latest IPA is so good, I think I need to queue another pronto as its not going to last through September.

 

[Teufelhunde]

Mosaic IPA hitting the Brewzilla at 5am tomorrow...

 

[jcav]

Right now I am step mashing a Vienna Lager that I make often, that was requested for my upcoming Oktoberfest party that I have every year. Smells like a bakery on my back lanai right now! Got some coffee and just going to enjoy my brew day!

[Abrayton]

Brewed three ten gallon batches over the summer for a wedding taking place tonight.
-Golden Cock (cream ale)
-Perfect 10 (Blonde Ale)
-Wedding Crusher ((Azacca/Mosaic IPA)
All beers are a hit and everything went off without a hitch. Can finally breath a sigh of relief!

Getting ready to brew an Irish Red Ale

 

[4_Sons_Brewing]

Didn’t brew over the weekend but brewing today, also doing an Irish Red.

I brewed a saison this Sunday using a couple things I haven't tried before.

Included a pound of jaggery raw sugar to an otherwise simple grist and I'll be interested to see if it imparts any flavor to the final product. It tasted good as I was shaving it off the cone.

I also used BE-134 Belgian Saison yeast for the first time. I hear mostly good things, including that it doesn't have the stall issues common with 1st generation WY3724. Hoping it's not like WY3711/Belle in terms of yeast character.

 

[JaggersBrewingCo]

Thanking about brewing a split batch of Farmhouse, or another Kettle Sour playing with some different Lacto.
