Who's Brewing 5/16-18

Bottling weekend here : about 4 gallons of stong bitter and 5 gallons of apfelwein. May not have enough bottles to get both done though.
Planning a SMaSH -- Golden Promise/Chinook. Really looking forward to brewing again.

 

Not brewing. Serving a wedding beer at friend's daughter's wedding reception. Makes for two weekends in a row of mass distribution.

 

I may grind up some grain for two batches. I bottled Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week, 30 gallons. I think I ended up with 6 cases of 12 oz , 59 corked, 5 bombers, one 40 oz and 7 loose 12's.

 

No brewing. Bottling an ipa and saison on Sunday.

 

I was planning on doing a hop-bursted APA with Amarillo, Cascade, and Citra. However, when I went to make my yeast starter last night, my oven went on the fritz. So, I won't be brewing unless they fix it today. I know what's wrong, the control module for the ignitors went bad...but it's under warranty and I'm not going to try to fix it myself.

 

berliner? recipe tbd...but 90% sure i'll be brewing.

 

Will be racking a Belgian Tripel this weekend into secondary. It's the first time I've tried this style and I think it's gonna be a monster. Really excited to see how it turns out!

 

Bottling the Juniper Pale Ale and brewing a pretty straight-forward IPA.

 

Splitting a Gose in half Saturday, putting half on some mystery items. Other half will be bottled Saturday, half regular, half with Lactic added. So in all I will have 3 variants.

Souring mash as we speak... I hope. That Rubbermaid cooler holds heat a lot better than I thought it would. Only lost 10 degrees over 3 hours last night with the lid just barely on. Pitched the uncrushed malt in at 127 this morning. Got it in a sleeping back with heating pad on high. Will probably add hot water before bed tonight. Fingers crossed. Boiling that sucker sunday and pitching it on the Gose yeast cake.

 

18 gallons La Chouffe , 12 gallons Triple Karmeliet clone.

 

I'm dry nibbing/nilla beaning a robust porter I brewed two weeks ago.

 

The La Chouffe.

 

Too damn hot to brew in LA. Bottling a Saison and kegging 2 beers.

 

Third Berliner gonna be brewed this Saturday.
Second one is still souring, but should be done today and ready for the sparge and boil.
Plan on timing these so I can just pitch the third one on the yeast cake from the second one.

For the first time in a while my passion for brewing is hot, and it's thanks to the Berliner thread on this very forum. Some part of me is worried about all the low ph beer consumption though...I swear my teeth hurt after a night of about 5 Berliners.

 

Brewing a Bell's two hearted ale clone tonight with fresh centennial leaf hops. Cant wait. Have TH, founders centennial ipa, and fat heads sunshine daydream to drink while brewing (all centennial ipa's in case you didnt get the memo).

Also bottling some Mezza Luna Red wine for Christmas.

 

Brewing a funky saison with ECY03 and ECY03-B and mashing sour wort Berliner tomorrow. Session IPA on Sunday. Doing some kegging and cleaning and other chores throughout the weekend.

 

Brewing a Saison this weekend and breaking down into two 3 gallon batches. One with Yeast Bay Saison Blend and the other with Wyeast 3724. See who wins the challenge!
