What's everyone brewing?

[Celiacbrew]

Brewing a West Coast IPA outside in the garage for the first time in the big pot turkey fryer I bought at home depot. Sound be an interesting sight for the neighbours behold! Might run a light beer off for house guests / non craft brew drinkers who come by this summer. Next batch after this I'm trying BIAB, which has me pretty excited. Cheers!

How big a pot did you get at Home Depot? I'm in the market for a pot and burner so I would be interested in hearing how it performs.

I'm brewing an old ale, because I'm off and my wife is sleeping all day between night shifts. Also, I have a bag of Thomas Fawcett MO from the last group buy, and a new English yeast strain (Wyeast 1469, West Yorkshire), so I want to do something with that.

After what McGruff said, I looked up some product reviews on 1469 here: http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/wyea ... -2008.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It sounds very good.

I get Bairds MO from NG and wanted to try Thomas Faucet MO as I think it is floor malted. I’d be interested to find out if you prefer it.

ps. just ordered some 1469.

I got a Brinkmann 30 QT system for $80, works well if you tie-wrap the safety pilot open so it over-rides the notoriously faulty temperature relay

Well was a busy day to say the least. Conditions wern't in my favor. Being sick, and the weather being shit.

That being said. I knocked out my pineapple ipa (forgot to take my OG due to rushing to say out of the rain. I kegged the Belma ipa (actually a DIPA!!!) and on top of that filtered and bottled 60 bottles of wine.

Time to look at something easy for supper.

going to brew up another 10gal batch of Dos Amigo...this time one keg for our pig roast, and one keg for me

[McGruff]

Brewing my semi-annual Belgian right now. I am using Wyeast 1762 Abbey Ale II. OG - 1.080 hopefully.

Like Sandy it's a big brew day for us. Finally got the General put back together so we are going to do a 60L batch of Kolsch and a 60L batch of english bitter. Looks like it's going to be a great day for it.

I won't be brewing but will likely do some prep work to get ready for a brew (hopefully next weekend) on the new system. I can't wait to get some beer back in the kegs! I'm thinking IPA and a Conan IIPA will be my first 2 brews...break that bitch in real nice!

Not brewing, but just bought 5 cucumbers that I am planning to juice up tomorrow, add some campden tablets and add to a carboy. Will then rack my saison on it and leave for 3-5 days. Also kegging an IRA as my keezer is empty.

Mike came over and we brewed a galena/pilsner smash of sorts. 15lbs pilsner lme, 1 lb dextrose, 1oz galena @ 60, 20, 10, and 0. Boil size was 43l water plus Pilsen lme which was approx 4.75 liters. So 47.75 liters.

He's going to add the clarity ferm, and we are going to bring a sample to the next meeting.

We also kegged the pineapple ipa, this should be a nice session beer. I think Mike took a few pics.

Great job guys! I kegged my apricot wheat and raspberry wheat. Both were very tasty going from carboy to keg.

APA with Magnum and Falconer's Flight mashing right now. FF smells amazing.

You should let me steal a sample of the apricot for my wife to try. She's slowly converting lol.

[Tony L]

Kegged one of my APA's. I think I'll bottle the other one next weekend.

Making an English IPA with my new West Yorkshire ale yeast (Wyeast 1469). Bramling Cross, MO and Munich. Much less FWH hops so I'm not skimming to avoid too much bitterness. The yeast is supposed to be fast and flocculate quickly. The starter in the mason jar was crystal clear after 2 days in the fridge, and I liked the taste of the starter "beer".

A watched pot never boils, but if you don't watch it; it boils over. I decided not to watch it, sat outside with a cup of tea instead, and it didn't boil over.

That's my wife's conversion beer as well. I should have some on Saturday.
