Who is brewing this weekend? June 20th edition

Building another STC 1000 for my incubator and to do a club Tech Talk on the build in a week.

Also brewing the single mash / split boils Saison, German Hefe, and Berlinerweisse that I was going to do last weekend but never got to. My grains are milled. My SN Kellerweisse starter is ready. My Cascade Lacto starter is ready. My captured from Arlington air Saison strain from Jasper Yeast is ready. Fermentation fridge is clean, bleached, and ready. Need to make sure the burner is ready.

Also going to step up some Kolsch slurry for the Berliner off the last runnings, as well as make 8 100ml starters from the last runnings to step up my Brett strains for my upcoming 14 gallon wine barrel Belgian Blonde (will also get Cascade Lacto).

 

Bottling a saison and brewing this years Christmas beer.

 

Buying grain for my next couple brewdays and will be starting a sour mash for a Berliner on Sunday.

 

Brewing a cream ale. First time using a new water profile, anxious to see how it turns out!

 

Double 10 gal batch of English Strong Ale, both will get a 3 hour boil. Should be a long day, but fairly easy. Planning on some oak staves soaked in bourbon additions before kegging.

 

Bottling a kolsch on Saturday and then brewing a 5.25 gal centennial pale ale on Sunday

 

Bottling a bastard and a half ale tonight. Brewing an Oktoberfest ale and ipa tomorrow. Still deciding on the hops for the ipa. Might pick up something I haven't tried before. About to do a little research on Wakatu, Motueka and Zythos before I go to the lhbs at lunch.

 

Brewing up another IPA I've been tinkering with, and probably a brown ale as well.

Going to try and have the brown done by the time I rack the RIS out of the barrel, and then toss the brown in there behind it for a little while to keep the barrel full.

Other than that- maybe some keg cleaning, and kegging my saison.

 

We finally nailed an IPA recipe we really like.
Going to try and replicate it tomorrow.

We used WLP001 for the first batch, but there is a new local yeast supplier in town (can't remember the name right now), so with this 10 gallon batch, one carboy will get WLP001 and the other will get this supplier's equivalent to see if they're the same. Just for curiosity's sake.

 

Going to brew an IPA tomorrow afternoon, I´m planning on adding a nice load of gypsum to my RO water

 

Heading to a friends house Monday to help with a blueberry dunkelweizzen and make some homemade ice cream using some home brewed coffee stout. Yum...very excited.

 

I've found that cream ales really start to taste great after about 3 1/2 months. Great way to end summer.

 

Vienna malt + ultra SMaSH blonde ale. Nothing special, just an easy drinker. Gotta use up that bag of Weyermann Vienna and Ultra is just a great hop.

 

Brown ale with Vienna and GP. Heavy hop with Centennial. US05.

Cheers!

 

Another saison in an attempt to iron out my all grain system. Same recipe as my last one, hoping to repeat all my measures... Then onward!

 

Brewing a 10gal batch of stout - 5gal of which will be used for some coffee experiments after primary fermentation. Also bottling and Amber and an ESB.

 

Topping up the Solera, since I couldn't resist the peaches at the farmers market today.

 

1 mash, 2 boil, 3 beers, finishing cleanup now and enjoying a beer.

 

A big Tripel on Monday night.

 

No brewing this weekend, even though I really should be. I'm running out of brew! I might do some hard cider tomorrow, and check the gravity on last weeks brew.

Cheers!

If you don't mind me asking, what's your recipe? I've been wanting to brew a cream ale for a while now.

Thanks!

Chris

 

I brewed a Rauchbier today. Just waiting to pitch the yeast. I want the beer at 45* when I pitch and the chiller could only get it down to 52*.

 

I can't til I get moved to Memphis.

 

It's an all grain brew. You may have to scale it up, I brew 2.5 gallon batches.
2.5 gallon
OG 1.047
IBU 19
SRM 3

2lb 3oz Briess 2 row
2lb 3oz Belgian pilsner
6oz flaked corn
.26oz cascade FWH
.35oz cascade 5 min

WLP001
Mash @ 149
Boil 90 minutes

 

Thanks man! Sounds yummy!

 

Double brew weekend for me!
3 gallon (final volume) DIPA that will get a mango, a cantaloupe and grapefruit zest in secondary instead of dry hopping. I brewed this for my honeymoon a few years ago and wifey is finally getting her dream of the rebrew.
also doing a 5 gallon Paters/Taffel bier that will come in around 3.7-4.0%. not sure exactly b/c i am BIAB'ing it and haven't done that in a while. Hopping with Saaz and Amarillo and going with WYEAST 1762 (abbey II)

 

No brewing, but I'll keg a bitter tomorrow. I also need to do some work on my kegging set-up - add a manifold so I can serve more than 2 at a time.

 

I'll be brewing a Blond today. pilsner/Vienna malt, sazz T-58 yeast.

 

Double brew day today!!! This morning is a lemon zest and peppercorn saison and tonight will be a grains of paradise and orange zest wheat ale. Cheers gang!

 

I'm cold crashing my double IIPA today. Possibly bottling my berliner weisse today. And brewing an american pale ale after I clean up some of my equipment and make room!

 

Brewed my first beer ever yesterday! A Belgian Pale Ale from a pre-measured kit from Beer and Wine Hobby in Woburn. I'll be posting pics and some thoughts in another thread soon. Stop over - critiques, tips and comments welcome!

 

A Belgian Tripel from leftovers. Extract with steeping grains.
I had 6lbs. of Pilsner LME, 1lb. of extra light DME, 1 lb. of cara pils, 2oz. of Czec Saaz, and a tube of Whitelabs WLP500, which I could have boiled up, but...what the hell, go big or go home, right?. I bought 3 more lbs. of light DME, 1lb. of clear candy syrup, and another tube of WLP500. According to the Brewers Friend calculator I needed more Hops for bittering, and when I opened the cooler, the first thing staring me in the face was an Oz. of Citra pellets. Sold! (I'm sure they use lots of Citra in Belgium) Now that I sit here looking at the grocery list, this better be good, because it cost me a fortune. Good thing I didn't have to buy it all at once. (O.G. 1.084)

 

Just throwing some dry-hops into my Chinook/Golden Promise ale. Cheers!!

 

Brewed a dark mild today for the wife (but I'll drink as much as i can!).

 

Late, but no brewing for me. Just dry-hopping an IPA and trying to do some work on a keg of saison to make room!

 

Seems like there has recently been an influx of new folks on the forum, but I wouldn't think it was that much.

 

This isnt a weekend brew but...

Wednsday I am brewing up a Saison that will simultaneously recieve a pitch of ECY01 Bugfarm!!! Got a starter running for the Sach. last night.
