whats brewing

anybody out there brewing anything.i brewed a10g. yoopers pale ale last week dry hopped on tue. hope to bottle on the 4th.lets hear what you guys are duing.

Bottled a Sierra Nevada clone Thursday. Brewed a vanilla bean sweet stout last Saturday and gonna maybe use that trub for a RIS I'm brewing today. Cheers!

your a busy guy way to go,i hope they all come out good your black ipa was great btw.

Yeah, but it's worth it. Very fun hobby we all share. Hope your pale ale come out good too. What did you dry hop it with?

all cascade boil to dry hop,taste gravity samples taste graet

Sippin on a tulip of what I call the "summer of funk" a nice citrusy golden ale but fermented with bugs. Its nice and sour without all the barnyard funk, really impressed with it.

I got a Belgian quad that's sitting on oak cubes soaked in Pinot noir. Thinking I might throw in some Brett-lacto blend and feed it with some funky fruit. It's a 6 month project at this point, but should be worth the wait!

Not brewing anything right now due to my current geographical separation... but I have two things to announce:

1st: the extract amber is bottled and sitting in my kitchen - would Mr Cellar come and pick it up to distro to the peeps who paid for BBD II? Four bottles each. If you need the list I can email it.

2nd: I have tapped the keg of IPA and it is delicious! I can give out samples SPARINGLY if the appropriate motivation is offered.

I'll be back up in 2 wks to check on SWMBO and dogs.

Bazooka out.

I feel your pain Bazooka, my apartment is way to freakin' hot to ferment anything really. And theres so much funk anything "regular" I try to ferment just grows a pellicle and gets funky. Hell, I left a glass of soda out overnight and that started growing!

MrCellar finally got the electric brewery up and running, if I could figure how to post pictures i would cause its BADASS! We got a watermelon honey wheat, and a red IPA rocking and rolling right now.

I heard from the AHA that they tried to push a bill through making it legal to brew in Alabama but it got veto'd so your gonna have to practice black ops brewing!!

My new handle is The Brewing Insurgency

just started my yeast starter for practice run at the whiskey barrel stout.100 gr. dme,1000 ml. water,1 smack pack london ale yeast.tomorrow I'll add 800 ml. more wort.thur, I'll brew.I hope I'm giving It anough time.HB

When are you brewing, and how big is the beer your gonna be brewing (gravity) cause if you're gonna be spinning on stir plate you may be able to get away with just the 1000 ml starter. Let me know what gravity is. When r u brewing only need to spin like 2-3 days with that type of starter you can always spin longer.

I have to change my moniker since you are now mr cellar

the whiskey barrel stout is 1.087 acording to beersmith.I"m brewing thur.7-19,thanks for the advice. HB

My math gets a 2L starter on a stir plate with one yeast pack. If you have the room I'd go for the whole thing at once instead of stepping it. But that's just how I roll

hay I changed my profile name now it's your turn mr.secretary,thanks funkmaster I'll add 1000ml. tonight.HB

ok my stout is in full boil my pre boil gravity is 1.068,was looking for 1.072 we'll see what it will finish off at should be around 1.080 maybe.HB

yazz mastah you tought me well,my stout is chilling,I took a gravity read and chilled to exactly 60 and hit 1.089,was looking for 1.087.HB

That's awesome dude, good job! Can't wait to see how it turns out

Tasting notes on the watermelon wheat: nice honey nose, with good wheat notes, can't really smell the fruit, but the flavor is awesome! The subtle honey and melon notes blend real well with wheat "snap" and has a nice clean finish. Bringing this one to the cook out for sure!

so come on you guys anybody brewing anything this weekend.I have to work but will stop at brew store for yeast and hops to brew next thur.

good luck with the stout HB. What did the OG come out to?
brewed an extract IPA tonight with a first time brewer. Had a good time. I forgot how much time you save whe you extract brew. Wow!

Man, this thread is a tease! I am just starting a 2 week vaca and I guess I may want to plan a brew even though I hate summer brewing because of the temp/bugs. I do have the idea of Black IPA and koelsch next on my list though.....Any brilliant (nailer engineered) wort cooling ideas out there?

My gravity at 7days is 1.032 so still a ways to go.hopefully this week Im going to build a second copper chiller.will use old one in ice bath.don't know if this meets nailer standards or not.

If you could build a home made plate chiller I might lose my mind

hey club members.brewing a smash tonite it's chilling right now.this is kind of a boring smash,well I guess smashs are boring any way you look at it.this one is munich malt,magnum hops,and german ale yeast,the magnum was pitched at 60 min.25g.thats it.and being that i'm the celler master you'll all get to try some no mater how it gomes out.BTW the stout is still in primary will bottle on tue.taste great though.HB

sounds good, although I must admit I have no freakin idea what a smash is....shitty mash? smokey ash? ......BTw I need to update website, did we settle on Bob's or the sec's place for Aug meeting?

sorry a smash stands for Single Malt And Single Hop.HB
