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

I just bought the grain for a Schwarzbier that I'm going to try this weekend. I'm also trying to build up a supply for my Birthday party in November, we'll see if it lasts that long.

 

Took off tomorrow to brew a Pumpkin ale and an IPA. Still need to decide on the hops for the IPA. Going to a beer fest on Saturday. Excited about the beer list for this one. Check it out.

I will be kegging up my 10 gals of IPA and 5 gals of IIRA. Picking up my portion from a collabo brew with a local brewery too. Clean up the brew house. Probably plate a few yeasts.

@Naugled are you doing any of those as split batches?

 

Rye Saison on Sunday if I can get the ducks in a row...

 

Sounds awesome! Looking forward to it.

I was actually asking about the 11 beers in the next 6-7 weeks. Are you doing completely separate mashes and boils in one day, or are you doing any as single mash and then split up? There is an article in the new BYO (not the current Pumpkin one) about doing single mashes then splitting into partigyle or separate boils or same boil with separate fermentations.

 

I brewed a brown ale today, that I will add coffee grounds to before bottling.

7 lbs Maris Otter
1 lb Caramel 60
1 lb Flaked Oats
8 oz Aromatic
8 oz Chocolate
8 oz Black

.5 oz Columbus at 60
.5 oz Willamette at 30
.5 oz Willamette at 0

White Labs British Ale Yeast

Measured OG of 1.052. A tad low, but I'll take it.

Happy brewing!

 

Double brew Saturday!! I'll be brewing a Dark English Mild and then a Wet Hop Bitter with my homegrown Glacier, Cascade, and Fuggle hops.

 

Not technically brewing, but apple and brown sugar cider.

 

I'm racking an English barleywine onto some bourbon and oak tomorrow. On Sunday I'm brewing up a brown ale for the fall.

 

Bottling a brown ale and brewing an ipa. Everyone got their xmas ale brewed already? I feel late to the game. I've only got 5 of 10 gallons I need.

 

Brewed an Imperial Pumpkin Ale last night and kegged a Pliny clone and a Citra and Mosaic IPA a few days ago...still have a Willamette IPA in the fermenter as well.

 

I bottled up 18 gallons of a new triple last night. If my grain order comes in today I'll grind that up for the next batch, a la chouffe house beer.

 

No Brewing, but I will likely be harvesting some, if not all, of my Cascade hops. Looks like I may have a couple of pounds when all is said and done.

 

All kegs, clean beer fermenters, and Berliner fermenters are full right now, so I don't have much open... but the wife is gone all weekend and I have plenty of free time.

I'll probably bust out some of the glass carboys I rarely use so I can brew something to make use of my backlog of ECY bugs.

 

Getting after the partigyled pseudo-Thomas Hardy/Pope's AK tomorrow morning. Homebrew shop didn't have Fullers or Windsor strains, so ended up picking up Boddington's strain. I've only brewed with it once years ago. Has fairly low attenuation and somewhat clean profile so think it maybe a good fit for Eldridge Pope. Got 3L on a stirplate last night.
Grain bill will be as follows:
12# Muntons MO (they were charging $100 for a sack of Crisp Gleneagles MO...couldn't do it)
11# Valley Malt 2-row
1# flaked corn
3# invert #2 (split evenly between the two beers)

Temps suppose to bottom out in the upper 30s, maybe a brisk start.

 

Brewing up some ESB tomorrow.

Irish red and IPA are fermenting away, and koelsch is lagering. Sour is carbed up and just needs to be bottled off the keg; we can't decide if we want to go through the hassle of bottling the full batch off the keg or just do a 24 pack, then drink the rest out of the keg.

Anywho...will have a lot of beer on tap soon with a nice variety, which is good because I'm about to be a father. C-section is scheduled for the 9/25, and for some reason, I don't see any brewing happening in the near future.

 

Just brew a dogfish head world wide stout last night excited to see how it pans out!!!
