What are you brewing

[zmurda]

Would like to know what people are brewing or going to brew in the month of march? I have made an ipa, irish red, belgian whit, and an english brown ale so far. What have you made or plan on making?

My freezer is tied up at the moment with a lager. Due to that I won't be brewing anything this month. However, this lager is taking a while so I'm depleting my reserves while brewing it. Because of this the first weekend of April I'll be brewing a hop bomb IPA and a mint chocolate oatmeal stout. A week later I'm going to brew something else, but haven't decided on what yet.

 

[bgruis]

March has been a good month so far, although sadly enough I have very little on tap at the moment.

90 Shilling clone, Octoberfest, Amber Ale, Ordinary Bitter

 

[NorthRiverS]

Just finished a Vanilla Porter. My next brew is a Sweet Stout.

I "brewed" 15 gallons of mead and 5 of cyser in the first two weeks due to an injury that prevented me from lifting much more than about 10 lbs. Now that that's on the mend I did 11 of dopplebock and 11 of CDA today, and I plan on doing 11 of ESB on Tuesday. I'm hoping that a couple "events" over spring break will empty the kegs so that I can get some real brewing in. I want to get some light lagers done for the summer.

3 gal - Pitched on Friday -Imperial Breakfast Caramel Chocolate Milk Coffee Stout - 10 ABV% -Lovingly named "STFU", this is a highly caffeinated drink for special occasions like camping/fishing trips where I want to drink all day. It is a "1 of" replacement for my coffee. I have had Founder's Breakfast Stout with eggs + bacon for breakfast and really enjoyed it but wished it had that "pick me up" of caffeine. I will post the full recipe+process I used after I taste it...lol as well as the Decaf version which is on the block for next month. All bottled in 12 oz bottles.

12 gal - this week/weekend - SWMBO Wheat. This is an aged wheat and will be my Long Shot comp brew IF they have another one this year. It has an ingredient that I have been toying with to get the flavors to meld correctly for 2 previous batches. When I have the recipe hammered down a bit more I will also share that one.

12 gal - the week/weekend after - Pliny the Elder clone Need this done ASAP!!!!


Sorry, no Marzens here this year. I do not have the ability to lager so they are out for now anyways. This is also compounded by the fact that I really like New Glarus - Staghorn (It is their Marzen/Oktoberfest style) so I have even less of a desire to learn the style lol...

 

[msarro]

Right now I'm fermenting a Ginger-pear wit.
Next up is top secret
Following that is bacon beer!

 

[Yooper]

Saturday was an IPA. Thursday will be a hopped up amber (my house recipe) and then I'm planning an oatmeal stout for next week, followed by another IPA (since I bought some grain special for it) and then an APA. That should do it for this month.

 

[tekknoschtev]

This past weekend I brewed up 10 gallons of an Irish Red I've brewed before. I'm also planning on a stout this upcoming weekend, and probably at least the arrogant bastard clone, if not the DFH 60 clone as well. 25 gallons this month seems about right

 

[PanzerBanana]

Still growing my yeast for my next batch. Which will be the first in a series of test beers to find out the yeast's atributes. If it proves to be drinkable. If it is I'll likely jump the gun at some point and brew the all grain evolution of my sweet stout with it.

 

[Gridlocked]

PhuchenTed's contest IPA (3/1)
Janet's Brown Ale (3/5)
Honey Mild Ale (3/5)
Slutty Blonde American Ale (3/12)
and deciding on ingredients for the next one today or tomorrow.

We are brewing an Irish red ale clone of whiskey in the jar. If we are sober enough, we will brew snowmelt wit clone after that. Venison on the grill as well while drinking our own hair if the dog ale.

 

[Keger8tor]

We did it. Managed to brew 2 batches. Chilling the wort on the second batch now.
Good to know our beer can produce a solid buzz. Neighbors probably hate the loud ass country music. Can’t beat it!

I brewed three times in March-an Amber Lager three weeks ago, a Golden Lager two weeks ago and a Mosaic SMaSH last week. The lagers are in my "cold room" conditioning and I kegged the SMaSH today (see, some of us really do have fast fermentations).

I’ve been thinking of doing a mosaic smash. Curious how yours worked out and what you might change or what worked well?

 

[grampamark]

I just kegged it a few hours ago so it's too soon to tell. It's an APA, about 45 IBU, and except for 1/2 oz at 60 the hop additions were all late (1/4 oz at 20, 1/4 at flameout and a 3/8 whirlpool addition at +30).

6 lbs Golden Promise and 2.5 oz acidulated (my well water is high Ph), mashed for 60 min @ 152°.
This was a 5 gal recipe I put together in BeerSmith and then scaled it back to 4 gal on brewday because I only had a 5 gallon fermenter available.

BeerSmith predicted 1.041 OG and 1.009 FG; I hit 1.042 and 1.010. Just over 4 gal in the keg. The uncarbonated beer is pretty dry and a bit thin; carbonation will change that, so it's wait and see. The flavor and aroma of the Mosaic is quite pleasant, though.

I had a Mosaic SMaSH at a brewery in western MT last summer that I really liked. I finally got around to brewing one. At this point I don't know what I’d change. Time will tell.

That sounds about perfect. I’m tempted to do two small batches, one with mosaic and one with Idaho 7 so I can compare.

So far this month I have brewed a pale ale, a blonde stout (which was bottled yesterday) and an American brown ale. Next up will be an Amber rye.

 

[John Mertic]

Did an Irish Red ( first BIAB! ) and Irish Dry Stout extract kit. Active fermentation kicked in heavy today- blew the airlock out of my carboy doing the Dry Stout!

 

[jcav]

I brewed a Scottish Heavy 70/- this month. It is currently carbing right now but the flat sample tasted incredible! Kolsch is on deck.
