Brewing this weekend? Anyone?

I will be checking in on my 100% Brett IPA that I brewed on Monday. Smells great so far but havent checked the gravity yet.

I will not be brewing this weekend per se but I am hoping to sneak a brew day in on Monday or Tuesday night where I will be brewing a beer inspired by Bell's Two Hearted. To open up a fermentor I will likely have to keg something, just not sure what yet.

Cheers!

 

Avery New World Porter clone getting done on Sunday. Have to figure out mash tun deadspace today before my wife gets home from work. I'm brewing it at her request, and yet she's displeased with how much time (yeast starter, cooler conversion, starter step-up, brew day) I'm putting into it...

Also, anyone have experience with WLP013? The vile says up to 70, just curious if anyone has insight as to a temperature it performs well at.

 

APA. not sure what hops I'm using, but I've got several lbs left from last year and a lot more coming, so it may turn into a "session IPA"

013/1028 - I pitch 64 or so, and when I see signs of activity let it go to 68, and hold it there for a day or two depending on gravity. When it slows it comes out of the fridge and warms to room temp naturally. Fantastic yeast and my go-to for robust porter. Good luck!

Brewing up a riff on Anchor Porter with some rye and oats in there for a nice creamy body (partial mash). I have a vodka tincture with coffee and dark chocolate that's been sitting for a while so I'll probably toss that in secondary with some oak chips as well. Just woke up and it's my day off after 10 straight days at the bar, so I'm pretty excited to RDWHAHB!

 

Finally going to brew my first attemp at cloning Hill Farmstead Everett

Going with roughly:

75% pale malt
15% crystal / carapils
5% roasted barley
5% chocolate malt

155F mash
90 minute boil

28 ibu's worth of columbus @ 20 min

Planned on using WLP002 (English) but I mistakenly bought 1 vial of WLP002 and 1 vial of WLP004 (Irish) so I'm going to mix them and see what happens. The higher attenuation rating of the Irish yeast will probably make keeping the FG (1.031) on target hard though.

 

Gonna attempt to make a sour mash pumpkin this weekend

 

Yep, brewing this - http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/belgian-pumpkin-ale.113864/

Which considering no one comment is either a completely awesome or totally horrible idea. I'll let you know in a few weeks.

Also kegging up 10 gallons each of a Wheat and a Black IPA - both of which are for a friends wedding.

 

brewing a black ipa as a type this, first wort hops just tossed in.

Never tried Pacifica...what is your take on it jlp?

 

Not brewing but I have two beers that need to go into kegs and one that I need to add some bourbon soaked wood spirals in.

 

Brewing up a big IPA in the hopes of using up enough hops that the GF will let me buy more once this year's pellets are on the market.

 

Racking a schwarzbier and brewing a robust porter.

 

Brewed up 18 gallons of a La Chouffe clone today, on monday we have 18 gallons of a Triple karmeliet clone to bottle.

 

What yeast did you use for the Triple Karmeliet?

 

This is what I am doing this weekend!


Still picking the Cascade/Centennial combo right now and I will have to package the Blisk and Tardif de Bourgenone very soon to make room for the C/C in the oast. Still have another tray worth of Chinook and Galena (intertwined) in the back of my truck that I probably won't get to in time, but there is another brewer coming to get some of the C/C hops and I will give him the rest of the Chinook and Galena combo. Picked hops all through my lunch at work today and barely dented the C/C hops (1 plant each). Lots of picking/drying/packaging going on. I would love to just dump a couple pounds into a Pale Malt and Munich wort at KO, but I don't have time to brew on top of all the hop stuff.

 

No, but I would have been kegging for the first time. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I have to wait until Mon.

Oh well.

 

Racking a Luck Red Ale and then creating a new recipe with home growns. Some sort of strong IPA... anyways.

 

A bitter. Hugh Baird Pale, crystal 55, a touch of chocolate. Challenger hops. Wyeast London Ale III. Easy peasy. OG 1.045ish

 

Found wild hop APA
Enough dme to get 1.055, magnum to get me to 30 ibus, copious amounts of wet wild hops.
