UPS just got here with my order from Austin. I've got the stuff to do both a hob goblin and a CCA, but not the space. Oh decisions!

 

[FlyingHorse]

Ordinary Bitter tomorrow, if my yeast starter does anything (yeast may be DOA).

If not that (or maybe in addition, if the Bitter goes as planned), a tweak to the Light Hearted Pale Ale.

 

[Cookiebaggs]

Getting a bock brewed up to lager all winter.

[Neomich]

I am brewing www.austinhomebrew.com 's (shameless plug) Sierra Nevada Pale Ale kit. It's extract but it's what I like to drink.

SNPA.......(Homer drool.....)

 

[98EXL]

almost done my 60 min boil of EdWort's Stone IPA Clone!

Just an acute boilover tonight!

 

[Chad]

Bottled my Apex Amber and racked the cream ale to 2ndary yesterday. Did my first AG batch this morning. It went pretty smoothly. Carolina Brewing Company tour tomorrow. A good weekend for beer.

[finchlake]

Brewing up a Light Ale for all my light hearted friends. They keep telling me they liked "that first one you made." It did go really fast, and the ESB is still setting in the keg.

 

[BierMuncher]

Just finished up my oatmeal stout.

3 hours 54 minutes from flame on to clean up.

Hit my numbers dead on (1.056). Smells like a mocha factory in my brewshop

 

[Cookiebaggs]

I gotta hit the sack.

Dough in scheduled for 4:45 AM

Man, I've got to get a rhythm going. Each of my 3 batches -- extract with steeping grains, partial mash and all grain -- have been 5 hours from clean kitchen to clean kitchen. I suppose that I should take some comfort in the fact that each batch was more complicated than the last and the time remained the same, but still . . . .

[Ó Flannagáin]

Bout to crush my grains as soon as I get off this dang ol' comuter All weighed out. Since my candi sugar has a higher potential SG than I thought this beer is going to be 1.100!!!! WOOOOOOOT.... gonna be a baaad boy.

 

[Melana]

Pumpkin Ale here...

 

[Glibbidy]

I brewed my Bohemian Pilzner this morning. Just started cooling the wort.
MMMMMMMMmmmmm Decoction!

 

[Poindexter]

I found a drinkable apple juice that comes in one gallon glass fermenters, I mean jugs, so I am going to do up five gallons of Apfelwine and then makes some one gallon batches of different meads.

EDIT: FWIW I am using "Naturally Preferred" brand 'organic apple juice with vitamin C' small print ingredients say 100% Apple juice and vitamin C, pastuerized.

 

[Cookiebaggs]

10 gallons of Bock resting comfortably in primaries. Mashed in at 5AM, finshed up at 11. Hit the high range for style with an OG of 1.067

88% efficiency. Thank you Barley Crusher! :rockin:

 

[LouT]

Taking a pass on brewing this weekend - too much going on: brother in town for visit, party tonight along with Red Sox game, brunch and going to Pats game tomorrow, I'll be ready for the weekend first thing Monday morning!

 

[Brakeman_Brewing]

5 gallons Hefeweizen

5 gallons IPA (trial recipe i came up with)

5 gallons edworts apfelwein

 

[MTpilot]

I missed the UPS guy with my AHS delivery so no brewing for me this weekend.

I do however have 2 carboys that need to go to bottles. One beer and my first apfelwein. I

may not have enough bottles, so the plan is to bottle all the beer and what I can of the wein, then put the rest of the wine in growlers for early, uncarbonated, yet still delicious drinking.

ROT! ROT! ROT!

Pulled the bag of grains for the amber out of cold storage & it got damp at some point. Heat-seal seams didn't hold. Mold in the bottom of the bag and the grain smells.

Bag for the Southern Brown grains is fine, but the hops have gone missing along with the instructions.

Too late to do much except pull a pint and think about what I have that will work. Maybe I'll just use the amber hops. Guess I'm brewing tomorrow.

I am working on designing a 5 gallon backpack tank. I am going to try to modify a backpack to hold one of my 5 gallon cornies, attach a little C02 charger and walk around with a picnic tap. Think huge camelback backpack. If it works out I am going to dress up like elvis prestley and give out homebrews straight off tap at my friends party.

Holy crap! Don't hurt yourself. If that doesn't work out, maybe one of the rolly suitcases.

Wanna go to Tuckermans April 2008? I'll supply the corny if you transport.

 

[Brewsmith]

I'm finally geting around to my German Pilsner. Mashing right now...

 

[Cheesefood]

Brewed at Rdwj's house today, made a new variation of VCCA, which now apparently stands for Vinegar Caramel Cream Ale.

 

[brett]

Today was a day of firsts for me.

A new sparging technique got my efficiency from 65% to 72%.... yes!

First time I've racked onto a yeast cake (Wyeast 1056), saving uber money... yes!

Saved off a quart of wort for later, possible starter/gyle?.... yes!

Finally got my process down so I get the volume/OG I want... yes!

I love home brewing!!!
