What's Brewing? May 16th-22nd

No brewing here either but tons of beer projects. My "Phuket Porter" (15G batch) got 2# of cocoa nibs, 1.5# of toasted coconut, zest of 2 limes, 5 sliced thai chilies and 20oz of PB2 (powdered peanut butter). Trying to recreate this ice cream in beer form. I have an amazingly bitter IPA from two weekends ago that just finished dry-hopping. I will be using my new Chugger pump to push the beer out of my Spiedel fermenter, through a beer filter and into 4 cornys (20 gallon batch). It is amazingly bitter because my dip tube came out of my pot during whirpool and my flameout hops steeped for like 40 minutes. I spent 25 minutes clearing the chiller thinking that was the problem... And I plan on bottling 10 gallons of "Xanadu" Belgian Golden Strong tonight so I can free up two more cornys

Trying to decide what to brew next Sunday before we leave town for a wedding in Philly then NHC in San Diego!

 

Doing a Huell melon pale with Conan, my first time using this strain.

 

Looks like this thread didn't get renewed this weekend. Anyhow, got the Brett Brunette bottled today.

 

Did the AP saison. OG came out a little, 1.052.

 

Racked my first Berliner into the fermenter (used a sour wort) and a brewed a hoppy wheat (Citra and Amarillo).

 

Use CO2, not a Chugger pump to push the beer. Chugger will Oxidize the craps out of fermented beer.

 

Currently fermenting an imperial porter (~7.5%). Added an extra jug of pilsen malt extract to enhance the caramel notes. Then aging on sweet orange, tangerine, and true cinnamon.

 

Brewed an Irish red ale, first time making one so this is unchartered territory.

 

2 things fermenting...
-Just brewed yesterday... a single malt (2 row) and single hop (Nugget) OG was 1.051
-Pale ale with all mosaic hops and a lot of munich malt. OG was 1.051 also... hmmm

Excited for both!
