Who's Brewing this Weekend? Happy Oct 26/27

I'm brewing my English IPA. I call it Long Voyage.

OG 1.075
IBU 90

94% Warminster Floor Malted MO
6% Cane Sugar
Mash Low

Hops 100% EKG with 33.3% @ 90, 55, 5

Ferment with WY 1469 prior slurry

Age for a couple months, then hit it with some EKG Dry hops and consume.

This is the first time brewing it with the Warminster floor malted MO.

 

Apparently I promised my daughter a keg of beer for her caving club party in 2 weeks so I'll be brewing something quick and easy today, probably a mild or ESB with Nottingham yeast.

 

Porter with homemade brown malt and licorice root.

 

Finally getting around to brewing my Alt on Saturday. Sunday it's all about the Lions!

Nothing this weekend unfortunately, too busy. Maybe next weekend

 

more or less a parti-gyle—10 gallons of imperial stout, then pitching german ale yeast into the next 5 gallons. almost 50 lbs of malt. first time maxing out our mash tun.

 

Bottling a robust porter, amber rye saison, and maybe a spiced strong dark saison that's been sitting on rum soaked oak cubes, if I have the bottles and will.

 

Took today off work so I am about to bottle a india brown ale and racking an imperial porter on to vanilla beans with a mix of American and French oak cubes that were soaked in Makers Mark. Tomorrow brewing an imperial ipa with amarillo, citra, chinook and centennial and a standard ipa with mosaic and galaxy.

 

If I can find the stuff locally. Going to brew another old beer, dark brown mild

I can post recipe If anyone cares.

 

Just got my kegerator so this is the first batch of beer I won't be bottling
Brewing on Sunday and thinking this looks like a nice hop-bursted IPA

I'm helping to brew a Helles at our local Oktoberfest tomorrow but I don't know if I'll get any wort yet. Should be a beautiful day for it.

 

I was planning on doing a rye stout this weekend, but I have a Halloween party to attend (hosted by my brother-in-law, who loves beer more than I do) on Saturday, and my parents insist on taking my family out for lunch with an obligatory visit with them afterwards on Sunday.

So, not me.

 

I kicked a keg earlier this week that I need to get clean so I can rack my Autumn IPA into it. It is tasting great so far, the DH is pushing a lot of dank character which I wanted. Still a little boozy though. Calibrating my sight glass on the second kettle tonight. Hosting/judging our Harvest Beer COC tmro afternoon. Making sure I am ready for next weekend for Teach A Friend.

 

Planning on a Raging Bitch clone for Sunday, depending on whether or not I can actually carve out the time to do it. Going to ask my buddy Pete to join in the fun - the agenda here is to inspire him and get him back into brewing by showing how an all-grain brew-day goes. This will be my first "high gravity" brew (1.077 planned) with Warrior, Columbus & Amarillo... Am hoping I can get the hops...
Not too sure what I'll do if the hops are not available to me locally.

Any ideas on possible hop substitutions? Its a 3.5 gallon batch using 9.2 lbs pale 2-row and 0.5 pounds crystal 60.

 

I've tried it a couple times now, really tastes like peanut butter cookies.

 

Post it. I'm interested to see the recipe.

 

2 ibs Pale malt type Earp PA no2
4 lbs pale malt type Dereham PA no1
1.25 Pale malt type Ipswich PA
.05 lbs baird chocolate malt
1.25 lbs Garton No 3 sugar
.5 lbs Hat "m" sugar

yeasts:
Whitbread OR55 MK
Gaskain EK
Davy Kent

Now I have to figure out subs for that malt, I have no idea at this point.

Was just wanting to brew the original but its just not possible. I just have to tweak it some.

 

I've successfully swapped out the Warrior for Nugget and the CTZ for Simcoe. I have not tried to sub anything for the Amarillo. I believe the Amarillo and the Diablo yeast the the two key players for this beer.

No brewing for me this weekend, but I have 5 kegs to clean. I'll be filling them over the next few weeks.
