Who's brewing this weekend? 9/13/14

I just received a small 1-gallon brew kit earlier this week along with a Pumpkin Ale Kit from Northern Brewing. This weekend will be my first crack at home brewing. I can't wait!!!

 

No brewing, but I will be kegging a pumpkin ale and racking a black IPA to secondary. I also have a gallon of imperial stout sitting on some coffee that I'll bottle (bottled the rest of the batch last week). Busy!

 

I'm making a really small batch sour ale this weekend.
Belgian 2 row pale malt
Vienna Malt
acid malt
Willamette 5.5%

I just got some bottle dregs from Westbrook's Big Tasty's Back Door, Bruery's Hottenroth, Stillwater Premium, and Mikkeller's American Style Wild IPA for the starter.

 

I'll be brewing the braindead IPA that I was posting about earlier this week. Still haven't decided whether I'll grab some hops to try to give it a bit more flavor. An ounce of centennial or cascade with a 15 minute boil might be enough to liven it up a bit, no?

 

Brewing up a trve brewing hellion clone with wet centennials. Wet hopped american table beer with some gno's to set it apart from mediocrity.

 

Nb stuff is great! Was really easy to use and the online video library helps out too

 

ducks will not be in a row. stupid work...

 

I really wish there was a "boo" button right now...

 

Skipping my homebrew club meeting to brew 5 gallons oatmeal stout (middle of boil), 5 gallons blonde today (done), then 9 gallons of saison tomorrow. Saison will be split three ways (YB Wallonian, YB Saison Blend, YB Sour Saison) pre bottling, then half of each batch will get Brett Trois.

Bottling 9 gallons of berliner (passion fruit, guava and raspberry), a funky pale ale with YB Funktown and a hoppy saison with ECY Saison brasserie today. Busy brew weekend.

I'm going to brew a pumpkin ale tomorrow. I know I'm a little behind on getting this ready for October, but better late than never! I picked up some organic clover honey from Whole Foods to use in it..might be a little tempted to just eat it straight up.

 

That sounds tasty.

 

Looking to brew on Sunday shortly after I wake up, have a one gallon Evil Twin Bikini Beer kit. Was thinking of adding peaches, but think I will just stick to the kit since this is only second brew, might add a small amount of citra since I have left over pellets from my first brew/.

 

Got my hands on some fresh Citra hops, so gonna brew up a Pale with them. Excited for my first fresh hop beer!

 

I skilled the pumpkin for now and went with an IPA one gallon kit from Midwest. Added in some more melon hops from a Michigan based company. Very excited to try my very first batch in a few weeks!

 

Brewed up a Tumbler inspired brown ale yesterday.

 

Brewed up my simple kit last night. The recipe itself isn't anything to write home about, but I was pleased with how much smoother the brewing process went than on my previous tries (this was my third batch). I only boiled the batch for about 10 minutes, just long enough to sterilize my chiller, but I had everything wrapped up in about 2.5 hours. Beats going to bed at 1 AM like I did last time! Even factoring in a full 1-hour boil, I would have had everything finished in a little over 3 hours, which is significantly shorter than the time it took me the first two times I brewed. Progress!

 

Sounds pretty exciting....I'm new 2 brewing so maybe my post reply is bit irrelevant here but can't wait to get my first brew started ..at the moment reading How to brew online version & ordered for ..joy of brewing....I'm excited to soon set the ball rolling...let's see how it goes...
Good luck with your brew !

Brewed up a Quad for a club barrel project. Target OG: 1.084 @ 70%, I sparked 12.5 gallons total for a 5 gallon batch and ended up at 1.105! Makes up for those that were under gravity I guess...

I too am a newbie. Ijust finished my first batch. Still conditioning. Good brewing.
