    I am super excited about my upcoming weekend of brewing and thought my brew schedule will be the busiest it has ever been so why not start the weekly thread...


    This big homebrewing weekend is force planned since my IPA and Cream Ale kegs kicked last weekend during a party... a bit embarrassing but luckily I had and always have a stocked fridge anyways... ha-ha.

    Friday night I'll be brewing 10 gallons of an American Pale Wheat Ale for my wife's cousin's wedding the end of August. I am not looking forward to bottling 10 gallons but the wife will be helping this time since it's our gift to them. They are having a backyard style wedding so they will serve up the 96 bottles along with whatever else they plan on serving. Hoping to stretch the batch a bit so I can get a 6 or 12 pack for myself out of it... 1st time doing a 10 gallon batch with a full wort boil thanks to a fellow BA letting me borrow his keggle.

    Saturday night I'll be brewing a Galaxy IPA. Wife will be at a wedding near NY so once the kiddo gets put to bed I'll be firing up the kettle yet again to fill keg 1 of 2 in 3 weeks.

    Then the following weekend I plan on brewing a Hefeweizen for my 2nd empty keg. That'll only take 2 weeks in primary so that will be ready to keg the same time as the IPA.

    15 gallons in 1 weekend is going to shatter my typical 5 gallon weekend session that happens every 6 weeks or so.

    Brewing 15 gallons of a belgian pale ale to combine with last weeks 15 gallons to fill a 30 gallon barrel. Going to age the beer with sour bugs for a year and hopefully make something tasty.

    I'm brewing an English brown ale, probably a mild. 5 gallons "regular" and 2 to top off a solera Oud bruin barrel. Also bottling a black plum lambic - can't wait for that one!

    I'm brewing the second batch of my Gumballhead clone. My wife has drank almost all of the first batch. I may also brew a Pale Ale. I haven't decided if I want to combine them into one brew day or separate days.

    Brewing 10 more gallons of swill, this time an american lager, for a party in late July. Pils/Cara-pils/corn sugar and about 2.0 oz TOTAL of Hallertau 3 times in the boil and a gallon of slurry to pitch! Going to ramp this one up to 7.0% ABV, so I can see my friends who pound down miller lite with impunity fall down after a couple solo cups full. I know, it is very irresponsible of me, but no one is driving until the next day and most think they are pretty tough and give me all sorts of guff for only drinking the "fufu" stuff.....so fuck em' :grinning:

    Yeah, "fufu" stuff (aka good tasting craft beers) and not Yellow Fizzy American Crap Lagers... ha-ha. Get that all the time but people are starting to convert over... slowly...

    Just stopped at the local organic market for some raw sugar and coriander. Tomorrow pick up pils malt and Golden Monkey yeast, Styrian Goldings and Saaz. Sunday will see about 35 gals of Saison-ish ale pitched in the unitank.

    I like Golden Monkey, but is there any particular reason you're expecting its yeast to make a saison-like beer? Golden Monkey doesn't really remind me of a saison.

    The distance between a Triple and Saison may be far for us, but to a lot of people it's a short skip. Besides, high temps, spicing, dry-leaning grain bill and you might fool a lot of people. Me included.
