First weekend of June - who's brewing?

Doing a Row 2/Hill 56 clone and my first Flanders Red!

 

Brewing while building a new deck. Going to call it Red Deck Chair. A session type (sub 1.045) American amber. One small bittering charge with a big FO addition of Galaxy, Citra, Crystal and Cascade. Hoping to turn it around to enjoy in 3 weeks on my new deck in my red adirondack chair.

 

Brewing a Saison on Saturday! Made my yeast starter tonight and put it on my brand new stir plate!

 

Gotta bottle a batch and brew a batch. Got a way overdue elderberry wheat that's getting done sometime this weekend. The starter's been stepped up twice now, mostly due to procrastination. I think I have more than enough yeast. No dry yeast this weekend, it's time to brew the "summer" beer.

Also gotta bottle a batch. Honestly, I've had a few tonight and I can't even remember which batch needs bottling. That's why we label the fermenting buckets.

 

I think I've decided to put up the kettles for the summer.

 

Galaxy Aussie (WLP009) Pale Ale tomorrow night. I am excited since it has been a while since I brewed something for me!!!

 

Looked at a seemingly perfect, HB award winning IPA recipe and then twisted the hops up a notch or two. Summer is coming, time to get your hop on. Doing that Saturday.

 

Moving into a new house on the 15th of June, guess what kind of trees (in addition to grapefruit, orange, avocado and lemon) we have in the yard? Starts with E ends with y.

 

Two weeks from brewing some Belgian Blond (i hope),from yesterday secondary fermentation in bottles.

 

I am brewing. I am not sure what yet but I am brewing. Maybe another session IPA.

 

Brewed a 'doppel sticke' Alt, single infusion, yday with OG of 1.080. I will be assistant Saturday at South Mountain Brewing, not sure what he's planning, and then on Wed. starting my first Berliner Weisse with natural souring.

 

Busy brew weekend for me.

Bottling an Apple Ale that I'm not too sold on yet, first time I've said that about something I've brewed.

Also, bottle conditioning will be done for my Elvis' Special: Peanut Butter Banana Porter. Time to throw a couple in the fridge, and let them chill a bit. This one tasted pretty awesome going into the bottles, I hope it maintains that.

Brewing an Orange Vanilla Cream Ale this weekend, as well.

 

Saison Sunday is the current plan. Need to get a starter of WY 3726 going today. Nelson single hop or maybe Nelson/Motueka.

 

Brewing my Summerfest lager Sunday, supposedly for my birthday at the end of June. 6L starter going as I type. I am about 3 weeks late brewing. At this point it looks like I will be able to sample at the end of june, but enjoy it sometime in July.

The only beer activity I'm partaking in are events related to Philly Beer Week!

 

Bottling 2 three gallon batches of a wheat that used Jolly Pumkin dregs, one is cherry, the other is raspberry.
Starting to build up dregs from Heady Topper to brew a clone recipe in two weeks.
Start a sour mash for a berliner.
Making 5 gallons of rootbeer for the family.

 

Bottling a Belgian Blond today and brewing a Belgian Red tomorrow.

 

Brewing a Citra single hop IPA 2 gallon experimental batch with fresh orange zest. Debating whether to try and steep the rinds. Want this brew to resemble a tangerine when in the snifter but don't want to create an orange bomb. Initial thought is the Citra will handle this without the fruit.
Cheers!
