Brewing up a smoked porter with chalmers. Half will get vanilla bean, half will get chipolte peppers 
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
just made my first starter with some nottingham I washed awhile back... can anyone think of some recipes (preferably from BCS) that uses/can use nottingham yeast?
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
I would think a cold ferment with nottingham could be used for any of the recipes that call for US-05 (both are a clean yeast with good attenuation). I could be talking out of my ass though.bluenose wrote:just made my first starter with some nottingham I washed awhile back... can anyone think of some recipes (preferably from BCS) that uses/can use nottingham yeast?

Based on that, I'd say 16C would be a good guess.The recommended fermentation temperature range of this strain is 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer. With a relatively high alcohol tolerance, Nottingham is a great choice for creation of higher-alcohol specialty beers!

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Going to do Belladona Took's Oaked Mild from Brewing TV / John Palmer on Saturday. Since it is a mild, with a small grain bill I'm going to try a 40L BIAB batch. 1/2 will be oaked as per the recipe. The other half - not. Will be using Wyeast 1968 (London ESB) that just finished up in my Dust Bunny Bitter.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Just crushed the grain for the BCS Irish Red. I'll be brewing it later this afternoon and will most likely be doing it using the traditional BIAB method (first time since fall).

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Did up a rose hip wit this afternoon. May have to hit it with more rose hips in secondary, I was hoping for more color and flavor out of them.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Once I bottle my Kelp Pale Ale and my maple rye I will have to brew something up, as I just got a bunch of american hops in (citra, simcoe, cenntennial, columbus and amarillo), I was thinking about making IIPA and a black IPA next weekend

Feeling a tad under the weather, but it's not going to stop me from doing up an amber wheat to finish off my WB-06 test batches.
