What's Everyone Brewing!!?

[mdf191]

I have been unable to brew for several months! I am finally going to be back home and able to brew. There are so many brews in my head. I don't know what to brew first! I have a summer wheat already in keg and stored for the layover time before new brews. I am thinking stick with summer sippers. Maybe a fat tire clone... I also have never brewed Cheesefood's Caramel Cream Ale. What's everyone else thinking and brewing!?

Well, I've got plenty to drink...way too much actually...I've been trying to brew some lower-gravity brews for summer, and got plenty of it now. I have 5 kegs flowing at the moment, with a couple 1.042-OG brews clearing in primary (Special Bitter and Blonde Ale) and a nice pellicle is starting to form on my Flanders Red. As you can see in my sig, I've got some stuff planned...mostly I just can't stop scheming on a Lambic. I'm just sorry I didn't get into sour beer earlier! So I might do a batch or two of lambic pretty soon (I wanna do two so that I can add oregon puree cherries to one of them and make Kriek). I also have yet to do a barleywine this year, and once I rack the special bitter from primary, I think that yeast cake would be a perfect thing to dump some b-wine wort onto.

So do you have a sweet tooth? I hear that CCA is a sugar bomb.

Right now I have an AHS Chocolate Raspberry Stout that is carbing in the keg. I just bottled a Belgian Golden Strong. I have an AHS American Wheat in the primary. I have a starter going for an AHS American Amber Lager (but with Calif. Lager yeast). I am getting ready to order the AHS Hoppy Red Ale and AHS Chimay Grand Riserve clone.

And I have three wines in secondary.

:rockin:

IPA is in the primary. I hope the Christmas Old Ale is next. I may have to change the name to winter. It may be a few weeks before I add my base malt onto an order with a brewpub.

I want to brew an American wheat all grain also. I need to start the design.

I have a wonderful pale/blone ale in bottles right now ( a cross between Ed's Haus Brau and Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde. In secondary I have a Chocolate Mango Stout (This one is an experiment on my part, so I'm hoping it turns out good. It tasted great at Mash out, going into primary and going into secondary so I have high hopes.) In Primary I have my take on Fat Tire, we'll see how that works out.

 

[jmulligan]

Just bottled BierMuncher's Sterling Gold, and some Apfelwein from a 3068 raspberry wheat yeast cake (left it nicely fruity and a touch of residual sweetness). I've got some grapefruit wine bulk aging, and 2 gallons of JOAM in primary.

Brewing Edwort's Haus Pale Ale tomorrow, and then trying to figure out how to handle the bohemoth 9-9-9 barleywine. Anyone think I could just dump the barleywine onto the pale ale cake and be ok?

There are so many brews in my head. I don't know what to brew first!

That is where I have been at too. Although, I think I have decided on an IPA. I have a number of beers hanging around right now. I have a Cali Common, a Kolsch and an all Vienna german ale serving right now. Plus I have a keg of Altbier that has yet to be tapped and about two cases of ESB in bottles. Plus I have an English Pale Ale in secondary, basically just waiting for an open keg. I need to get something hoppy going. The English Pale Ale will be a little hoppy, but not much. After that, I have been craving an American Wheat. Something light and malty, but balanced with a good bit of flavor hops. Beyond that, I promised my SIL that I would brew the peach wheat again, and I am thinking about brewing up something big, like a big ole stout or something that I can age for 6 months and drink in during the winter.

I'm trying to nail down standard recipes for all my favorite styles I always want on tap. I need:

Pale Ale
IPA
American Amber
Oatmeal Stout

I'm closing in on the pale ale and IPA. I've got first trys at the AA and OS in primary right now.



Problem is, I can brew faster than I can drink, and I don't have kegging stuff quite yet. I need to not brew again until I get the kegs ready. NO MORE BOTTLING! YUCK!

Absolutely! Just make sure you use a full sized blowoff tube right from the start, assuming of course that you are fermenting in a 6.5g carboy. If not, you're on your own. Also, make sure you use some kind of temp control, be it water bath or what have you. A big barley wine is gonna generate some heat.

 

[Rick500]

Bell's Two-Hearted Ale clone, 6 days into fermentation. 1.058 OG.

I'm calling it Quincentennial IPA (there's 5 ounces of Centennial in there...well, there's 4 right now, but 1 more ounce will go into the secondary).

 

[djr76]

just kegged my first batch ever tonight. It was a flagstaff honey wheat from home brewers outpost here in flag. As to not waste any fermenting time I brewed up a batch of berry blonde from home brewers as well

 

[BierMuncher]

...I hear that CCA is a sugar bomb.

More like a vanilla blast. bleh.....

Get yourself a blonde or a cream ale on tap for the summer. Perfect, light session ales.

 

[fat x nub]

Got an amber ale in the secondary and an english pale ale in the primary
