Ordered some more hops from YVH. Almost out of Chinook, and finally ordered the pound of Saaz I'll need for Czech lagers this summer. And just now finally kegged the Bell's clone that I had to take out of the ferment fridge this morning to make room for the habanero amber brewed today.

 

[Footballandhops]

Kegged my all Citra IPA fermented with Voss Kveik yesterday. wow, one of the best IPAs I think I have made. I forgot how much I love Citra.

Brewed an small batch (2.5gal) extract "weisse bier".. didn't buy the right hops, used 3lb wheat dme. This is basically a SMaSH beer. Dunno how it'll turn out, nor how close to a weisse it'll be. But who cares. It'll be beer.

Should be good! I do Cold Brews with all Golden Light and Wheat DME. Boil hops on the side for 2min. Add all with 3.5gal cold RO water. Done several Hefes and now a French Saison yesterday. Like you said, it'll be beer! [emoji482]

BTW, I believe wheat DME is only 60 or 65% wheat.

Ya. It was 55/45 wheat/barley. I've not done an extract batch in years. I usually brew 10g on Easter but didn't plan very well this year so a small extract batch was just right for keeping the tradition.

Brewed up a stout this morning. Hit my numbers pretty much on the nose, fermentation started super fast, can't wait to try it.

 

[brewbama]

Brewed an APA

 

[Immocles]

Rinsed, soaked, de-labeled 3 cases of bottles donated to me last week. Extract brewed some type of English ale ( I hope ) with ingredients sent in my order by mistake from an online retailer. Started a list of supplies to purchase in the near future. Remembered to pick up the brewcat from the vet.

 

[brewbama]

Cleaned my silicone hoses. Right: clean. Left: ugh.

 

[jaymosbeershack]

Kegged a rye pale ale. Cleaned the conical. Picked up grain and hops for an ESB im brewing tomorrow. And shipped my package for FOTD.

 

[Leapsandbounds]

Brewed my first NEIPA and bottled a Saison. Technically I did this yesterday but I was a tad busy to post.

 

[Novacor]

That's a scary looking sample jar..

Now that’s what I call a hop forward recipe!

 

[HB2 HughBHomeBrew]

Trub dump/yeast harvest on my Pils lager and my ale. Hoarded yeast, basically.

 

[Leapsandbounds]

That's a scary looking sample jar..

The mouthfeel takes some getting use to but the hop flavor and aroma is out of this world. Lol.

 

[6Tap]

I drank ..and had a few more.

 

[ApolloSimcoe]

Finished my keezer build. Put some water in a keg to do Seltzer, I had to have something in there!! This weekend I'll be kegging my ESB then on to a classic IPA and then a Grisette!

Disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled my xfer pump. Ready for the next brewday.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Trimmed back the bull shoots in the “hop yard” and planted some cascade rhizomes.

Got my WLP644 starter ripping last night for Saturday's Sour Pineapple Shake brew-day. Will have to hit the LHBS after work to get the rest of the ingredients I'll need.

Nice! 644 worked out great for my Strawberry MilkShake IPA.

Every since @RPh_Guy turned me on to 644 I have been using it as my go-to Sach for sours, it is basically my house sach now. Love what it does in IPA's and sours as well.

Last night weighed out the base malt for the Mosaic/Southern Passion IPA I'll brew on Saturday. Got the idea from YVH, they did one with Mosaic co2 extract for bittering, and their African Queen & Southern Passion hops as late additions/dry hops. I'm going to add a smidge of crystal 80 (it's what I have) for a bit of color. I'll bitter with Mosaic, then mix that and the SP for late additions, might ramp up/ramp down for each. Dunno yet, need more thinking/drinking.

 

[Novacor]

Made a starter of wlp051 for my black IPA this weekend. First time I've ever used a can of Proper Pitch from the lhbs. It was more expensive than I would have liked, but it sure made the process quick and easy.

 

[Brewbuzzard]

I tried to post this last night but couldn't. My Velvet Hammer clone.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Got 6 entries ready for competition.

That looks like it's needs to be Rauchbier.[emoji1]

 

[GnenieGone]

Blended sour to raise pH. Divided, half Blueberry and half Raspberry. Hopefully keg by Tuesday night ready for my weekend starting Wednesday!

 

[aharri1]

Made a starter for my RIS That I am brewing on Sunday. 2nd generation of wyeast 1084 London ale

 

[seatazzz]

Up early to brew the Mosaic/Southern Passion IPA, waiting on the mash now. Later I'll keg up the WF lager I brewed two weeks ago to make room in the ferment fridge, and tomorrow will hit up a new acquaintance's garage sale; he's getting out of brewing, and has already promised me SIX corny kegs (dunno yet if pin or ball lock) at $10 each, and might have some other stuff I "need". That will take my total of usable kegs up to 11; one of mine has a slight warp in the opening and doesn't seal right. Can you say lagering keg, boys and girls?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

^^^ $10 kegs, you cannot beat that!

 

[jiMithing83]

Brewed a batch of Zombie Dust clone, pitched on third use 1056 cake and it's already bubbling away an hour later. Also, kegged the APA that was in that fermenter earlier.

 

[BrewZer]

Put my gear away after boiling up another American Amber ale... this time, both cans of liquid extract were good.

Unfortunately, I dropped one and lost half the can to the concrete patio. So it'll be a bit lighter than I planned, but I will not make the mistake of going 1/3 sugar again.

I liked the profile of the San Francisco-style lager-ale yeast, so I'm using the White Labs WLP810 version with traditional hallertau/saaz mix. Crossing my fingers... I've got good yeast activity already and the airlock smells pretty good.

 

[Dannyv]

Still new to brewing. I bottled up my first 5 gallon batch of a NEIPA. I double dry hopped with mosaic, Idaho 7, jarrylo, and Citra hops. F.G was 1014. My whole apartment smells like pine apples and tropical fruit!!

 

[seatazzz]

Sitting here with coffee pondering on water chemistry for next weekend's brewday. Efficiency has been cr*p all winter long, and I think this might be part of the problem. Nothing of my process has changed for quite some time, and the last batch I did that was even close to 75% efficiency was back in November. Read up on water adjustments last night until my head was spinning, but it's starting to make some sense. Part of the issue was my cheapo pH meter futzed out, and I never replaced it because lazy and didn't think I needed it. Well, I do now! Tired of wasting too much grain to get close to 6.5% ABV, which is my usual target.

 

[aharri1]

Brewing my RIS blueberry cheesecake edition. Mashed in with crushed Graham crackers on top

 

[GnenieGone]

Moving forward on the brew pub.
