Definatly Brewing this weekend, which for me is wed/ thur. The question is what do I brew, a red ale or pumpkin pie ale? If I do the red ale it should be ready by sep and if I do the pumpkin pie I'll let it sit til the end of Oct. Any suggestions?

 

[Chello]

I'm getting started in a couple hours. Making a summit/columbus IPA.

 

[Droot]

Fat tire is off to a good start. I toasted 4 KG of 2 row instead of 4 lbs. Oops....

Hit strike temp right on .. 153. My mash tun is a 1/4 converted keg. 21.5 lbs grain. Its overflowing. 11 gallon batch. Thunder storms rolling by, so I am in the garage for now.

Having a boddingtons I made 3 weeks ago. Its good. A little darker than I wanted, but taste is fine.

Did my first all-grain yesterday. Beautiful iowa summer day...I dig this brewing outdoors stuff! Should be serving up the Harpoon IPA Clone in about a month

 

[jkarp]

Amarillo IPA today. First time I'll really be screwing with my water to accentuate bitterness...

Biere de Garde here. First time firing up the brew stand in 10, yes 10 years.

10 years?? Man welcome back. I'm mid brew now. Brewing a bavarian hefe that I hope to have drinkable by August 8th. Hopefully a week to ferment and a few days in the keg and it's g2g. There is a beer festival in my home town that weekend and I wanted to bring something to my friend's house for afterward.

Did a celebration ale clone yesterday. The fermentor is cooking away and looks to be heading for a blow-off this afternoon.

 

[Whut]

I'm doing the celebration as well. But issues with my pump this am so before I could start I had to track down some 3-in-one oil. Got it going and Mashed in around 11a. What the *$@% was I thinking? It's 110 in my garage so I'll only be brewing the one batch today. I guess it could always be worse though right?

 

[Mutilated1]

I was really wanting to brew this weekend, but I didn't get motivated to go to the brew store yesterday so I will have to just do some drinking instead.

 

[DBbrewing]

For the 1st time I am trying the wet tee shirt with fan method of keeping the temp of the primary fermeter at a steady 68 degrees and it is actually working.

 

[Duckfoot]

Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale... 10g AG batch... Just got done, in the cleanup phase at the moment...

 

[Whut]

I guess it could always be worse though right?

Guess I was right - it got worse. After giving it the recommended amount of oil I tested the pump before starting and it was working. When the time came to sparge it refused to dance. Tried sweet-talking it and made a few hollow promises but to no avail. It absolutely refused to do the tango. Oh well, I'm only out the price of the grain - and a new pump. I'll be giving it's successor much more attention.
