Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
First of two attempts at my Garrison Brew-off weizen. Going to try slight variations and see which one turns out better (less bad?) Couldn't get my act together in time for the Big Spruce comp so I'm trying to make up for it with this one.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Brewing a hefeweizen test batch for the garrison comp with chalmers 
"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?
Finally bottling my Egg Nog Milk Stout tonight!
With lazy yeast bugs to start and fermenting temps that were all over the place; I hope this is drinkable.
Time to invest in a better system I think!

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Making an old ale. I had made a plum old ale a year ago and thought the base beer was really good. Was still doing partial mashes then so had to rework the recipe for all grain. Maris Otter, Crystal 120 and 60. Again using Challenger and Fuggles for the hops. Going to try to hold onto a number of bottles long enough to have this brew live up to its name.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Hey now! I helped myself to the 20%(ish) shocker! A bit too much of it, really. Good stuff, though, and shockingly (ha ha) smooth and easy drinking. Don't know if you saw the "load of bitches" vid, but a lady needs some shocker before *that* happens.keithforbes wrote:Obviously they didn't drink enough at mooooooovember.... they are able to stand on chairs the next day. wasn't the requirements a double dose of the shocker?
I hope brewing your very first "own brew" went well!

Thanks again, Mark, for letting us get in your way for a day. We had a lot of fun and all-grain brewing no longer seems so big, bad, and terrifying.GuingesRock wrote:Kirsten and Keely (redoubt) are around here doing their first AG brew....Champagne Cascade Blonde.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Good to hear. It must be very satisfying to make your own recipe for the first time. It was the sweet cherry London porter? Sounds delicious! I hope it turns out as well as it sounds.keithforbes wrote:Nope didn't see the load of bitches vid lol. However I think my first beer do well. Find out in a few weeks
Let's just say I wouldn't normally be one third of a load of bitches...

Kathleen didn’t think she’d ever be a third of a load of bitches in her life, but she says if she is going to be part of a load of bitches, you’re the bitches she wants to travel withredoubt wrote:

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Nah that is a boxed kit a buddy wanted me to make. I'm just adding the cherry. But it does sound great. My first brew is The Forgotten Wit, I'm extremely curious on how it is going to turn out. Anxious really.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
I enjoyed every minute of it! and thanks for the help. I'll get that keg to you when it's done. Oh I forgot, you're coming around to keg it too after a 4 day ferment in the brew kettle with US-05 for keg conditioning (the guys are screaming at me now). It's going to be awesome. You two hit all the numbers spot on...you're not supposed to say that because it never happens, so it sounds fake, but we have witnesses...kind of a fluke, but you did it.redoubt wrote:Thanks again, Mark, for letting us get in your way for a day.
