What’s In Your Kettle This Weekend? (11/16-11/18)

[BierMuncher]

For me it’s 10-gallons of my Blue Balls Belgian Wit. I did a 10 gallon batch 4 weeks ago for a competition, but had to up the ABV to 5.5% for style guidelines. It’s great, but a little strong so I want a session version as well. Man I forgot how good that brewshop smells with a Belgian Wit bubbling away.

How’s Bout You’s???

What’s in your kettle?

 

[Brewing Clamper]

Not a darn thing... I'm flying to San Diego to see my in-laws. Gonna have to hit a brew pub somewhere....

Nada this weekend. Got a bunch of stuff to get kegged, but no brewing until the following weekend. Then, it'll be a simple American amber ale to see if I can dial-in why my efficiency is still so crappy.

My farkin' hydrometer broke (original one); part of me wonders whether it wasn't giving me accurate readings, but I never got a chance to check it before it went CRASH! (GD wind!)

 

[Soulive]

10bbls of IPA

 

[cubbies]

Nothing this weekend, but I am going to brewup a Dubbel next weekend. I am hoping the temp doesnt drop too much, or else my basement will be too cold. I am hoping to get one more ale out before I start my lagers. Worse comes to worse though I can always ferment upstairs.

My first weekend not brewing since I've been back int he states. I have to travel up to Alabama for Thanksgiving. I was gonna brew today, but my starter is going like it should be... I might brew tommorow though and leave it at my dad's place to ferment. Actually not a bad idea... hmmmmmmmm.

 

[Ó Flannagáin]

OK, yep, gonna brew this beast on Sunday: http://homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=45020

 

[RichBrewer]

Nothing here either. I need to work on my mash tun. I think I'm finished with the plastic false bottom that floats up when submerged. I might go get me a stainless one this weekend.

 

[Chris_Dog]

10 gal of BYO Bass Clone.

No wonder the monks were "silent".

They were to innebriated to talk.

 

[foureyedgeek]

An Alpha King Clone, my fifth batch.

Though since I took the day off, I hope to brew it today.

Am I reading that right?

Nothing for me--I'm so lame. I haven't brewed in a LONG time.

Yeah you are, but thats in the brewpub kettle not my personal. I'm hoping its 10bbl and not 15bbl since I'll probably be slightly hungover

 

[Kevin Dean]

I'm doing a special bitter.

I'm pretty excited about it too, get to try out some Brewer's Gold and Progress hops. :rockin:

5.5% a little strong? What the hell?

Nothing for me, I'm gonna be on hiatus until after Jesus-Day. I have a friend coming up who wants to learn to brew so I'm gonna show him, then I have the 888. Wife will be out of town for a while, so I might throw something else in there as well if I have the budget.

 

[the_bird]

BM's a lightweight, we know that!

I'm tempted, now... if I can get a crapload of work done tomorrow, I might try and sneak in a quick batch Sunday morning. Have to see what I have for ingredients, I think I might just be missing some medium crystal for the batch I have planned next (the amber). I do have some honey malt somewhere, so maybe I'll make a "Honey-Bunny Pale Ale"...

 

[Got Trub?]

Another batch of Dry Stout for me tomorrow. Might try adjusting my mill to see if I can't nudge up my efficiency.

An international business paper, a finance paper, and a marketing project....I hate the end of the semester!

I'll probubly bottle my cider though, just so I can take a break

 

[JustDave]

If I can find the time, possibly my first AG (BM's SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde).

 

[c.n.budz]

I'm doing 10 gallons of robust porter on saturday and if I have time 5 gallons of american wheat ale on sunday. It's gonna be brewlicious weekend

 

[Beerrific]

Just went to the store and got the grain for my Pliny the Elder Clone. Going to be great weather tomorrow. And I am sure glad I bought the hops for this a month ago...kind of like a last hurrah as I think for a while I will be doing lightly hopped beers. I talked to the guy at the LHBS...he kind of sounded scared.

 

[uwmgdman]

Old Glory Pale Ale!

Lots of Cascade and Amarillo hops. Mainly base malt, some vienna, crystal 60 and a pount of wheat malt.

It will be nice to get on the horse again.

After that I want to do a Fuller's ESB clone and an Scottish Ale sometime in the next month or so.

Which pub?

I have lots planned but with a wicked cold hitting me the past couple of days it looks like this weekend might be a wash.

I didn't realize any of them had a BOP.... do you work in the brewery?

 

[Ó Flannagáin]

I caved, mashing right now. 19.25lbs of grain for a 5.5 gallon batch

Its the only location in the country (world?) that brews. Its me and the head brewer, but its very casual. We're friends and I just help him out. I mash-in, control the sparge, weigh/add the hops, etc.

I am doing 5 gallons of BrewPastor's Russian Unorthodox Imperial Stout on saturday, going to bump up the base grains a few pounds to get the OG a little higher as my efficiency is probably a little lower than his, going to age it with oak and ferment with Wyeast 3787.

 

[jdoiv]

I was planning on brewing on Sunday, but then found out we are having company come and stay with us Saturday to Tuesday. I already have the starter made so I may just have to teach a friend how to brew on Sunday whether he wants to or not. I've got a Mackeson XXX Stout clone I want to try. Just a small 5.5 gallon batch though.
