who's brewing this weekend 6/8-6/9 edition

Brewed a Citra/Centennial PA on Wednesday. 3oz mix burst 15 and 5. 20 min flame out hop stand with 2 oz. Est 35 ibu. Going to dry hop with 3-4 oz. Malt bill Golden Promise, C40,White wheat and caravienne.

Cheers!

 

Just finished cleaning up from brewing a Belgian Triple using Wyeast 3739, Flanders Golden. First time using that yeast.

 

Not brewing. But kegging yet another failed attempt at a hefe banana bomb.

 

Brewing Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde on Saturday. Row 2, Hill 56 clone is on deck.

 

Citra wheat pale ale and a wild ale are coming up this weekend! Possibly a tamarind berliner weisse as well if I have enough time.

 

Honestly i am counting on my software to est the IBU. Promash in my case. I find that a lot of the bitterness in these bursted beers is smoother than traditional early hopped ones. I like lots of hop flavor and mild to moderate bitterness. Any IBU calc is just a 'best guess' unless tested. I do feel that my software calculations are close to the estimated bitterness though. At least to my tastes.

Cheers!

 

Cleaning the kegs and tap lines before the upcoming move on the 15th. Looking forward to actually brewing some beer after the move, a massive matrix of berliner weiss' fermented under different conditions and a Pacific Jade/Citra/Moteuka/Mosaic IPA, which will be my first brewday since February (Thesis & Publication writing ruining brewing time)

 

Well, I'll have ferment tank room to brew, but not sure I will. Already have 2 different brews (Peanut Butter Banana Porter and Apple Ale) in bottles, conditioning. Also have both an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Brown Ale and a Graham Cracker Ale both fermenting. Maybe I should drink some of that first...

Next up is an Orange Vanilla Cream Ale, if I do brew.

 

Did you or did you not want a banana bomb? I feel there's a punctuation point missing...unless you wanted a banana bomb and didn't get it. BTW - has anyone ever used bananas?

I've got that saison I won't shut up about (sorry) planned for Sunday. Wife will be away, the cats will probably (hopefully not) be underfoot. It'll be good. Now I'm still wrestling with if/what to dry-hop with. I think Nelson Sauvin could be fun/interesting. Or Mosaic...Gotta get some one-gallon jugs...

 

I'm brewing up V.4 of the Heady Topper clone recipe on Saturday. I have the Conan yeast in a starter and ready to go. This will be my first brew using my new eHERMS system, hoping all goes well!

 

Bottling a Belgian Rye IPA (Belma/Pac Jade w/ belle saison). Doing a 10 min boil extract saison with 1oz citra FWHish addition and around 6oz of Belma at flameout. Using 3711 so that even if I don't get the IBUs, it'll still end up dry.

 

You want banana? There was a Zymurgy article w/in the last two years about mashing for maximum banana. Are you trying that?

 

There was no punctuation missing. I wanted, but did not get, a banana bomb, which has become my white whale. (I've read countless posts, web pages, books, and technical papers. So I'm not looking for advice, unless someone knows something not related to pitch rates, oxygenation, temperature, decoction, wort profile, or yeast strain.)

 

The one about manipulating the sugar profile in the wort? Been there, done that.

 

Yeah, that was the one. Something about increasing glucose, IIRC. I'm not much of a biochemist and I don't recall the rationale. Something like higher sugar concentration leads to more

I'm sure you are thinking about this systematically... banana is a yeast derived flavor, therefore play with yeast variables: strain, oxygen, temperature, pitch rate, and of course, the composition of the wort affects yeast metabolism. Maybe this will be insightful:

I'm brewing kind of a riff off of Stillwater's Of Love and Regret, but doing a 1.052 Saison with all Weyermann malts (82% floor-malted Pils, 11% Rye, 7% Wheat) with flame-out steeping additions of coriander, lavender, rose hips and chamomile. Will ferment with 3711 and bottle condition with Brett B.

 

Brewing an Oskar Blues G'Knight clone, should be fun. 1.zero8zero
