I'm planning a better attempt at a NEIPA (the one currently fermenting had a disaster brew day). I'd also like to do a kolsch, and I have an idea kicking around for a saison with pineapple and sorachi ace hops.

What's on your list of things you want to brew?
 
I really want to get a good xmas ale recipe together that will be different from my pumpkin ale I have brewing now. With the colder months coming in Colorado I think its time for some good stouts. Had a go with one a while back and it turned out horrible, but that was before I went all grain and before I had temp controlled ferm chamber. After that I want to take a stab at a Belgian Tripel.
 
I have a pumpkin ale in the fermenter but I've been talking to a coworker about the concept of a persimmon saison. Plan on splitting a 10 gallon batch between that and a Brett saison that I've been itching to do for a while.
 
I need to rebrew my annual Lambic in the next week or two. Probably hit the LHBS and grab stuff tomorrow or Friday (probably tomorrow). I've got a boatload of ingredients and some harvested yeast in the fridge (the Wyeast 1469 I use for most of my beers), but that yeast is from April and I haven't brewed since, so I might as well just build up a fresh pitch.

I'll try and brew a Bitter or two, a Mild or two, and possible a lager or two over the next few months.
 
I'm playing around with the idea of doing a coconut-vanilla oatmeal stout as my next brew (whenever that happens), and I also want to do a Kolsch, rebrew my Czech Pale Lager (maybe try a premium pale as well), rebrew my citrus APA, and a few others on the want to do list. So far the only one I have actually rebrewed was my blood orange Hefeweizen (it should be just about finished carbing now). There are just too many I want to give a try at brewing.
 
I bought a peppercorn saison, brewed by Elysian brewing a while back, and it was OK, but it had me thinking that a peppercorn pils could be a good match.
Just need to free up some space in my fermentation chamber for some long term lagering. I try and do two batches of lager at a time, to optimize space and time, was thinking of doing a Marzen with it.
 
I'm absolutely without ideas right now. My most recent three batches were a cream ale (Biermuncher's Cream of Three Crops), a SMaSH with Maris Otter and Styrian Celeia, and a California Common. The first two are kegged but haven't yet been sampled, the third is in the fermenter.

I'm literally without an idea. I have filled the pipeline, but with winter approaching I need to keep it full. Hard to brew here in the winter unless you get lucky and get a day when the temps get into the low 40s.

Maybe after I taste the California Common I'll want to try something else. I haven't yet brewed a lager, maybe that would be worth doing. I've done 20 batches, maybe it's time.
 
An Irish Red, a bourbon barrel aged stout for the winter probably a Modelo Negra clone brew over winter for lagering til Spring. I really don't have a shortage of brews on for my todo list.
 
Right now I am fermenting a chocolate milk stout. Going to split it at bottling and add some coconut extract and a little almond extract to one.
Next I'm doing a Berry wheat with 3lbs of blueberries and 3 lbs of blackberries in secondary. I might also add 1/2 or 1/4 lb of lactose to give it a little sweetness and creaminess
 
I have ingredients for a Two Harted clone on hand, so that's up next. After that I'd like to do a red IPA. Then need to switch to some darker brews for winter. Would like to do the brown ale again that I did this spring. Also was kicking around doing a spiced holiday brew. All that said, NB will have a really good sale and change all my plans. :mug:
 
Off topic alert!!

Dave, what's your Two Hearted recipe? I did one recently that came out nice but a little off from the original. Mine was 2-Row, Vienna and a little C40 with all Centennial.

You will now be returned to your regularly scheduled thread. :D
 
A Vienna lager and then two stouts. I've been brewing almost every weekend for a couple of months. 26 batches so far this year. 2.5 gallons each.

I also do 2.5 gallon batches....got a recipe for that Sweet Coconut Porterstout? If you've made it before, how was it?
 
Wanting to do a flavorful pumpkin ale as the family is requesting one. Looking for a good recipe right now and if I want to use the pumpkin in the mash or in the boil kettle.

John
 
Next up I have an English nut brown, then either a barleywine or a westvleteren 12 clone. Then a wee heavy and a czech pilsner.

Woo hoo!

Sure. It's really, really good. It's very sweet like drinking a candy bar.

--2.5 Gallon Recipe
4 lb Maris Otter
8 oz Chocolate
6 oz Crystal 60 L
6 oz Flaked Oats
4 oz Pale Chocolate
2 oz Coffee Malt
2 oz Roasted Barley

—Hop Schedule for 25 IBU
6 g Magnum 60 min
8 g EKG 10 min

Mash @ 152
WLP002 Yeast w/ starter

--Extras
14 oz toasted coconut (350 degrees for 10-12 minutes and added to the keg with lactose, corn sugar (40 grams) for carbonation, cacao nibs, and vanilla beans)
5 oz lactose (I normally add lactose to the boil with 10 minute left, but I was out when I brewed, so I added it to the keg. I boiled it along with the corn sugar before racking)
2 Vanilla bean vodka tincture
2 ounces of toasted Cacao nib vodka tincture (350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until they smell like brownies then soaked in a couple ounces of vodka for a few weeks)

OG 1.069
FG 1.019 before lactose was added (Beersmith estimated 1.016)

I would definitely brew the same recipe again, but I would probably use 3 ounces of lactose and only one vanilla bean. It turned out quite sweet. SWMBO loves it.
