I brewed Cheesefood's Caramel Cream Ale last week and i'll be brewing a stock ale to pitch onto the yeast cake.
Basic brewing recipe:
3 3/4 lbs. Coopers Real Ale Kit
3 lbs. Amber DME
1 oz Cascade
and re-using the Wyeast German Ale 1007.
 
I'm kegging some Kolsch & Apfelwein. Hopefully I'll find time for a batch of Hefeweizen.

I just ordered 8 kegs from www.KegConnection.com and will head down and pick them up this weekend. It's tough to beat $19.73 per keg with new O-Rings and they are just down the Interstate to boot!
 
Richbrau IPA part 2! Hopefully I don't overcarb the **** outta this one!

1oz Kent Golding (5 minutes)
1/4tsp Grains of PAradise
1oz Bitter Orange Peel (dried)
1/2oz corriander
White Labs Belgian Wit 400

Sweet Mead Kit
12 pounds Honey

Fruit Extract just before bottling, flavor is still up in the air
 
Brewing my first Mini-Mash today when we get back from the brewshop

6 lbs Wheat DME
.50 lbs 2 Row
.50 lbs 40L Crystal
.50 lbs Biscuit Malt
1.50 lbs Munich Malt
1.50 lbs Vienna Malt


1.50 oz Hallertauer 60 minutes

2 smack packs WYeast 3333

Looking to be a nice caramel color with a 1.080 SG and hopefully 1.012 for 8.9% ABV :mug:. Should be a damn fine Weizenbock.
 
Nothing this weekend. I'm hosting my annual NCAA Final Four party at my house this year. We'll be drinking lots of homebrew!:tank:

Next weekend I'l either be doing an Alt or a Steam beer. Leaning towards the Steam.
 
It is Czech-fest at my place this weekend. I just brewed a Pilsner Urquell clone and am going to brew a Budvar clone on Sunday. These are my first real lagers.
 
Just started steeping my grains for a coffee stout. Gonna do the Blue Moon clone that's been floating around the board tomorrow.

I'm brewing a Mac & Jack's African Amber clone tomorrow morning with my best friend, its his favorite beer, and its his birthday. :)
 
Today (or what's left of it): Dunkelweizen; mashing now, not without some issues
Saturday: plant the hops, as long as the forecast doesn't call for any more frost
Sunday: Oatmeal Stout, unless the bike rebuild grabs my attention instead

(oops, gotta update the sig)
 
I'm brewing my new Red Helicopter Porter Monday morning. It's the same as my Black Helicopter Porter, but I'm going to add raspberries to the secondary. A chocolate raspberry porter should be kick ass, even if it's not the season anymore. :D

Mac & Jack's = Damn good beer!!! Is that a extract kit?

No brewing this weekend for me... Kegging my IPA, and racking my vanilla weizen to secondary!
I'll be brewing up something next Saturday... Just not sure what yet!

:mug:

Its an extract recipe that calls for some grains to be steeped, but I'm converting it to a partial mash recipe. It calls for an early addition of DME then a late addition of LME. I'm converting the DME to 2 row UK and mashing it with the rest of the grains that are listed (including munich, which I don't know why they tell me to steep). stoked, haven't brewed in a while.
 
I woke up at 4AM!!! Got all my stuff, ingredients & gear together, sanitized then started brewing.

Before 9AM I had two extract brews in two carboys!!! :D

Amarillo Pale Ale

West Coast Common hopped with centennial


Even better.... while I was waiting for the water to boil, it had stopped pouring outside. I managed to get about 100 monster sized night crawlers.

I walked outside to let the dog piss... I'm like holy sh*t!! I couldn't walk down the driveway without stepping on them.

Now I'm set for the summer for fishing worms.

:mug:
 
20 min to go until sparge of a 10 gal batch of my Wizard Pale and just transfered 10 gal from last weekend. Trying to get all of my 5 gal kegs full (11) and (4) 2.5 's full at one time......:ban:
 
I just mashed in the Racer 5 IPA clone from BYO.

And, I'm currently, relaxing and having a homebrew. =)

-D

Are those an adjunct, or do you put them in the secondary? :cross:

-D
 
Nothing. All my carboys and bottles were full. I did, however, bottle my altbier which had been sitting in the secondary nearly all winter. Tasted pretty good coming out of the bottling bucket.

Next up? I'm not sure. I've got my first two AG batches in carboys, but am not sure how either of them will turn out.

I think something really simple and probably something using mostly maris otter.

Looks like the front that dropped the rain on you is about to hit here.....and my Bust A Nut Brown is about to start boiling. What bad timing:mad: I won't be able to cool the wort outside like I wanted, gonna hafta lug it inside to the kitchen sink to hook up the chiller. Oh the thunder's rumbling as I type. GRRRRRR:mad:

I use them as an adjunct. - Late boil addition, right at flame out. You should see how hard it is getting those critters in a muslin hop sack! :cross:

They're only good for getting that stink bait aroma, not much on flavor. :D
