Brewing and Brew Related Activities 03/31 Edition

Racking a 'Rye Saison' to keg and Brewing a Hefe.

 

Drinking my way through 7 gallons of DIPA that just carbed.

 

But what about Sunday?

 

I am going to use my beer gun and bottle some up for my brother in law. I also have a dilema. I have all my kegs filled and have 10 gal. fermenting in basement.

 

Sounds like a good saison recipe, I have been in the process of formulating one that will be a table saison at about 4%, just looking to get a ton of flavor out of it while making it very drinkable.

Nothing brew related this weekend unfortunately but next weekend I should be kegging my low abv porter so long as a keg opens up for it and brewing a very hoppy pale ale which I will be using that yeast cake for a future barleywine. So many plans for brewing not enough space or time!

 

Bottled 2.5 gallons of Quad this morning, racked a gallon onto oak and bourbon to sit for a spell. Probably gonna brew a Falconers Flight IPA tomorrow.

 

I am in the process of reading that book as we speak, very good so far but really not too far in yet. I will design the recipe after I finish the book. I just need some good summer beers that are different from my hoppy APAs.

 

Potentially dry hopping a massive 11.5% Imperial Black IPA I brewed last weekend, as soon as the yeast drops. 6 days to go from 1.100 to 1.010!

Also beer gunning an extra wheatwine I made for the Stone Homebrew Comp (Submitted one made to finals, this one is still sitting with Amarillo & Citra keg hops) cleaning all my brewing equipment plus six new kegs I inherited from a buddy before my forced brewing hiatus.

 

I don't like your chances of getting down to 1.010

 

It sounds to me that he's reporting his results, not expectations.
How much of a yeast starter did you use on that? I presume a five-gal batch?

 

dilema?? sounds like someone should have a party...

 

It surprisingly got to 1.010. Mashing in low (148 for 90 min), a 2L starter (Plus some dry yeast of an equivalent strain), and oxygenation before pitching and at high krausen and 7% corn sugar got it down.

 

I may weigh out some grain and hops for an upcoming 18 gallon orval clone and a 6 gallon stout..........I wish our delirium clone would finally finish, I want to bottle it.....

 

Bottling both a DIPA and a CC on sunday

 

That is crazy low from your starting gravity!

 

Tell me about it, I didn't think it would get down there myself... I'm going to refrain from tasting it until its dry hopped, carbed up and cold though! I recently brewed a really big, dry wheatwine (1.095->1.013) and almost threw it out because I made the mistake of tasting it before it was done. I hope this beer turns out well, but only time will tell.

 

Brewing an all-Brett saison and kegging a Maibock tomorrow.

 

Finally (!) bottling my two Cz Pilseners! Yee ha!
