Who's brewing this weekend? - 4/14

brewing an APA tonight, then got a long overdue keezer, keg & tap line cleaning session. Need to check my GF beer I brewed last week to see if it's ready to transfer to secondary.

 

Been tinkering with another IPA recipe, so may give it a go if time permits. Time to fill another keg with some hoppy goodness to go with a smoked porter, breakfast stout and helles.

 

I hope to brew an Apollo/Bravo IPA. Everything is in place but I have to work .

 

I am brewing but it's for a class that I have started teaching in East Longmeadow, MA. I have a BYO Class returning tomorrow afternoon to bottle their Wheat Ale and I will be teaching an Intro to Homebrewing class that night to a group of people and I'll be brewing a Cream Ale to show them the process.

As for "homebrewing" I have a Cream Ale that's been in primary for a week so I'll be kegging it in 2 weeks and then brewing a Milk Stout that I'm toying with for a possible Thanksgiving brew. Going to transfer the Milk stout onto some cranberries to see how they come through as maybe a good desert type beer after a Thanksgiving meal.

 

Brewing a RyePA after a quick interview at a new B-o-P spot.

 

brewing a delirium clone to take to the cape between finals and graduation.

 

I will also be doing a hopslam clone this weekend. Good luck to you on yours.

 

Sure, here it is. I'm planning on 70% efficiency. I based it off of the info from the brewers in the large thread over on homebrewtalk.com. I subbed willamette and cascade in because I have quite a bit of them on hand.

Bottling a wheat beer.
Brewing 5 gal of Kolsch and Mild using the yeast slurry from the wheat (Kolsch yeast).

 

Brewing 20 gallons of Flander's Red to rack into a 15 gallon cabernet barrel. I've been putting off this brew forever, because a club member wanted to brew with me, but after multiple flake outs on their part, its getting brewed this weekend no matter what.

WLP 007 - Starter currently cold crashing

Calculated IBUs will be high but I find when I hop burst, those IBUs really dont seem to contribute much to the bitterness so I am trying to go roughly 1:1 BU:GU with the 60 min addition and ignoring the later additions contributions.

 

My brewing will consist of trying to get the german and american banks to figure out how to send money to each other.

 

Going to brew a Chocolate Milk Stout that I will age on Mexican vanilla beans and Ancho chili peppers

 

I did one 10 weeks ago and it still isn't done........had to repitch last week......will check again tomorrow...

 

What size starter would you typically use for this recipe?

 

10 Gallons of Belgian Wit and 5.5 gallons of imperial stout being brewed tomorrow. Both batches brewed simultaneously via BIAB in 2 separate 15 gallon kettles. Hoping to have the day done in 6 hours including cleanup but we will see. Its only our second time brewing two batches at once and these particular two recipes are a little more involved. Also going to be transferring the 1.098 OG imperial stout onto a yeast cake from a 1.072 OG DIPA which will be my first yeast reusing experience Teaching a friend how to brew as well so I'm going to do my best to concentrate with my attention being pulled in so many directions.
