Who's Brewing? August 1-4 Edition

Moving my ESB into my carboy for 2nd fermentation

 

Brewing another IPA tomorrw. Mostly Rahr Pale Ale malt, touch of Victory and flaked barley. Gobs of Mosaic, Simcoe, and Columbus.

 

I'll be busy for the weekend but I'll sing to my 10 gal of barley wine and (porter/stout?) I'm naming him Mud when he's born.

 

Nothing this weekend. Will be getting ingredients early next week for a 100% Brett IPA and I will also be taking my first shot at a mead with a Cranberry Cyser made with local honey and local cranberry apple cider.

 

Just bottled my imperial-ish amber with Conan yeast and NZ hops, super pumped to try it soon. I might also be brewing up a modified version of The Mad Fermentationist's 100% Brett IPA in the next few days, probably need to bump up the starter again before that happens though.

 

saison. Haven't used WL585 before. might get around to a second batch on Sunday but don't think I've got any open fermenters. Need to finish up some cider yeast tests.

 

Brewing a saison as well this weekend. 3 gallon all grain BIAB batch that will get split 3 ways:

- 1 gallon with Wyeast 3711 only
- 1 gallon with brett b (Orval dregs) only
- 1 gallon with Wyeast 3711 + Dupont dregs

 

Brewed up an Imperial American Brown.
1080 O.G
1018 F.G (in theory)
8.1 % ABV
64 IBUs
Two Row(75%), Couple different Caramel Malts(14%), Munich(6%), Pale Chocolate(3%) and Aromatic(2%).
Magnum, Northern Brewer, Cascade, Dry Hopped with Centennial.

Nice and hoppy for the first month, the hops fall of a bit as the weather cools.

 

Finally brewing my farmer's market wild ale. Bring on the enterobacter.

Brewing up a porter tomorrow that I intend to rack on top of toasted coconut in secondary.

 

I brewed on tuesday and ground up some grains for a belgian tripel today. I'll brew when some carboys come open. I have 9 that I use and 8 are filled at the moment......the tripel will need 3.

 

Club meeting on Saturday, followed by first brew day in 5 months on Sunday. Triple brew session...

10 Gallons English Mild (1/2 ECY Mild, 1/2 WY1968)
10 gallons East/West Coast XPA (1/2 Conan, 1/2 WLP090)
~15 gallons of Berliner Weisse (7 different fermentation conditions).

The Mild and XPA will be served on tap at our upcoming Co-Ed baby shower, Berliner will be consumed whenever its finished (Months away).

 

Brewing my first beer in about a year, simple extract kit to get back into the groove of things. Northern brewer Kiwi Express all new zealand hops. Turning it into a brew party for friends that have listened to me talk homebrew for years but have yet to participate.

 

Triple brew weekend, I'm aiming for! (I say that now at least)

2x of a Graham Cracker Ale recipe I made once before, but suffered from yeast issues
1x Banana Cream Ale

 

No brewing this weekend, but I'll be dry hopping my clone of OldSock's 100% Brett IPA and maybe bottling my Peach Berliner.

 

You are an animal!

I'm brewing 10 gallons of something Sunday, but I haven't decided what. I've got some Bug Farm I need to pitch, but I'm not sure what I'd do with the other half of a low hop 'lamebic' batch or what else I could pitch it in. So it's probably going to be a saison of some sort. Would like to get some biere de garde going, but haven't heard from the homebrew shop that my yeast came in.

 

I just bottled my peach berliner last night. Great combo!

 

My berliner didn't tart up enough for my likings (6 months in a carboy using WL's BW blend). I'm going to add a tablespoon or so of lactic acid before I rack to the bottling bucket to give it a little more punch. We'll see!

 

I'll be brewing up two 1 liter batches. To use to start a couple of lager yeasts that I plan to use next week.

Oh, and I'll be kegging a couple of batches from the last few weeks.
