What are you brewing this weekend?

[ZooBrew]

Just pitched a Pumpkin Porter mod. Smells pretty yummy. Should be ready for Christmas Family reunion.

My only concern will be if I didn't hop it enough; I wanted a porter on the sweetish side. I may have to dry-hop the secondary to raise the bittering. We shall see.

I love this hobby. Part science and part 'flyin' by the seat of your pants'.

Ain't that the truth. I just decided to throw some caramel extract into my imperial pumpkin ... spur of the moment.

BTW, dry-hopping won't bitter your beer. And, it probably isn't a good idea for a pumpkin... IMO.

Give it a taste post-krausen. If it is overly sweet, boil some hops and add it. That will do the trick. Be careful, though. Over time, the beer will only get sweeter so I think this is safe.

Brewed a Belgium Blonde this morning. Making it for my sister coming in a few weeks.

Middle of brewday. Breaking in new March pump and therminator!

Great Imperial Pumpkin Ale. Toasty, Bready, carmel. Mmmm. > 9% ABV target.

I used my new march pump for the first time today too and also used a courter flow chiller that I built for the first time.

I broke in my new Therminator tonight. Was going to build, but the LHBS had one so I pulled the trigger. It worked perfectly. Yours?

California Common (AG) last night. This is my first AG batch to exactly hit my target OG. (Full disclosure: I intentionally hit my target OG by reducing batch size by 0.1 gallons. I'll call it B+ work...)

I have my choice of 3 different batches -

An AHS Pumpkin Ale
A Choco-Ras Stout
or a NB Fat Tire Clone

I think Im leaning towards the Punkin ale so that I may have it ready around Turkey day timeframe, although it would be good around Xmas too. I would like to get the C-Ras going too but they forgot to throw in my Ras flavoring. This might end up as a racking onto REAL raspberries in a secondary brew... (It would be my very first ever secondary beer!)

No brewing but going to a fellow homebrewers to watch him brew, did keg 10 gallons of a Dark wheat.

[bwiens]

Did three batches yesterday for my cousins wedding. We did an extract pale ale, a blonde all-grain, and an american amber all-grain. Started at noon and had it all cleaned up by 9pm. Great day for my first multi-batch day and only my third brewing session since returning to homebrewing. Today I am kegging the last batch. Busy weekend.

 

[Edcculus]

Scottish 80/- in the fermenter. Just cracked a Raison D'etre to take a break in between cleaning and laundry.

 

[david_42]

Got the blackberries soaking in Campden. Only used 20 lbs, so I might make a lower gravity batch with the other 12, rather than try for a second wine.

 

[griffondg]

Duvel Clone on Friday. Bubbling away now and smelling great!

I broke in my new Therminator tonight. Was going to build, but the LHBS had one so I pulled the trigger. It worked perfectly. Yours?

I learned if I use whole cone hops, I need to use my paint strainer bag. I dealt with clogs but figured it out and used the air compressor to blow things out.

 

[MattHollingsworth]

Bottled batch 93, the American (well, sort of American style. Sorta. But all of the ingredients except the yeast are not from America) Brown on Sunday.

Upcoming Sunday, finally back to an IPA, West Coast style. Simcoe, Columbus and Crystal hops with Belgian Pale malt and repitched Wyeast 1056, 3rd generation.
