Who's Brewing This Weekend? (21-23 Dec edition)

Ryethos IPA (with Mayan spices : )

 

Big-ass barleywine. Not really mayan themed, but at 12% ABV, I think it's a fitting tribute to the end of a planet as great as Earth.

 

Finally doing my Dopplebock, I avoided lagers for 2 years (this is my first one) then wrote the recipe 2 months ago, bought my grains 2 weeks ago and didn't get to brew, now I've got the 2nd 2L of my 4L starter roaring. Contemplating a decoction at the end of the mash just for flavor.

We'll see how it all goes. Biggest issue I have now is that I will have to wait 4+ months to see if I hit what I was aiming for.

 

"FWH – 1.70 oz Santiam ~ 6.0AA% (Home Grown)"

a little off-topic, but how did they do their first year? I'm hoping 1 of my 2 Santiam rhizomes/bines survives the winter

 

I think I'm going to brew up another lambic. Trying to get them on a quarterly schedule, and this would be my 3rd batch I have going. Hoping to get it done either this weekend or the day before or after X-mas.

 

Mine had maybe 1/4 oz after drying them. I got about 1/2# from the person who gave me the rhyzome, so I was set.

 

No brewing planned this weekend since I just recently used up all my bottles bottling my BARIS. Although, I will be thinking about what to brew next weekend and putting together a recipe for that after Xmas (waiting until after xmas because I think I might be getting a new MLT).

 

Was planning on brewing a mild and west coast bitter, but suffered some corneal flash burns at work, so no brewing for me. Will get em brewed next week . At least got some beer gunning done for Christmas presents .

 

My wife told me not to brew, apparently there's some holiday on Tuesday and she needs me to do some crap around the house or something.

 

I hope so. Your dead and im not. American saison

 

Not this weekend but on the 26th and 28th. Doing a Tomahawk hopped Brown Ale and a APA with Amarillo and Pacifica

 

No brewing but I did grind up some grain tonight for an upcoming chouffe clone. I should weigh out the hops too, but its friday night and I'm in a beer drinking frame of mind.

Nada for me. Might take a month off while I pack up and move to a new house I have under contract. I really want to brew, but it would have to be something I could run fast, finish, and keg, and then move it to the new place. Thinking about maybe something simple, like a Belma/Amarillo Pale or something easy.

But I've got 5 kegs full as of the other week, so I'm good for my consumption.

 

Well, not technically this weekend, but whenever my non-holiday day off is next week, I'll be brewing my version of a Juniper Pale ale. I might also bottle a blueberry mead. Maybe do a porter as well. I love it when the GF goes to visit her parents!

 

Probably going to whip up a pale ale today with all the hops at 10 minutes or less. I only have Apollo and Pilsner on hand, we will see how it turns out.

Kegged a barleywine yesterday. Pretty damn good for 2 weeks old.

 

Brewing a HotD Adam clone on Monday. First time using peat malt. I scaled back the 1lb of peat to a half lbs due to the lhbs guy's advice.

Bottling a citra DIPA sometime this weekend.

Have fun y'all!

 

Helles Lager

Cheers
