Who's Brewing this Week 6/26-7/2/15?

Hull melon wheat ale

 

Brewing a Galaxy IPA along with two batches of Berliner Weisse. I think I am going to bottle a portion with brett after really enjoying my test bottles from the last batch and bulk age another portion over brett and blueberries.

 

Picking up some ingredients for a Rakau pale ale/IPA borderline beer, but might not get around to actually brewing it until next weekend. I feel a lazy weekend coming on

I'll have an ounce of Rakau left over from that whenever I brew it, so on Sunday I'll be chucking that into the second half of a keg of simcoe/cascade/centennial pale ale that is losing some of its liveliness.

 

Brewing a Hoppy Belgian Blond, with Hull Melon, and Wyeast 3522 Ardennes.

 

dryhopping the wild ale with nelson this weekend.

 

I'm going to do some R&D and inventory... ie clean out the back of the fridge.

 

Getting after the whirlpool experiment brew, so an IPA that is split post-boil, one kettle will be whirlpooled at FO temps and the second will be cooled to 180F for the start of whirlpool. Plan is to have 12 gallons split into 4 fermenters, two fermenters will be dry hopped and the other half will be non-dry hopped. Collaborating with @Naugled and Marshall @ Brulosopher so we can each draw our own results. Should be interesting to see what we each come up with!

 

Just bottled a small experimental batch of jasmine-green tea EPA. Tasted pretty good out of the fermenter. We'll see how it is after priming for a few weeks. Gonna call it "Jade Dragon Ale" if it comes out any good.

 

Brewing 5 gallons of saison over the weekend....

 

IPA and Black IPA from a single boil tomorrow. Replacing Crystal Malt with Honey Malt from previous successful malt bill based on Maris Otter. Also adding sugar this time. Mosaic, Amarillo, Simcoe.

 

Making our first Berliner Weisse style beer, the lacto starter has been going at 110 deg and hope to cultivate some great bacteria from grain. The batch will be split between sacc and lacto, rejoining when the pH has dropped and a short boil.

 

It sounds like you'll be boiling after saccharomyces fermentation. You don't mean that, do you?

 

Soma Saison...

 

Just finished my starter for the 2nd take on a citra and mosiac ipa. Boosted the hops and ABV. More hops and more alcohol is always better right???

 

Gosh no, boiling the lacto portion and joining it with the active sacc portion.

 

bottling Irish stout, dry hopping MIPA, brewing IRS and a Pale Ale

 

I just checked in on my IIPA I am brewing... Gravity of 1.002 after 7 days fermenting. Added 4oz of dry hop into my 4-gallon batch, the sample tasted INSANE. I can't wait for this one!! I guess that 150F 90min mash and 1/2lb corn sugar dried it out quite a bit... Love it!

 

Just bought the ingredients for another quad and a "pirate's grog" beer a co-worker wants to make with me. Hoping to keg up my IPA and bottle my Tripel if they are ready yet.

 

An ipa in the mix, prob this wednesday. Hop extract to bitter and Eldorado and Lemon drop hops for flavor and aroma. Not yet sure about which to go with in the dh, prob just the Eldorado.
