What's everyone brewing?

[GillettBreweryCnslt]

Picked up some Clarity Ferm from Dave. Asked my gluten-free wife what kind of beer she would like to make. Sigh. Today's beer will be very yellow with a couple of hop pellets sprinkled in

That Clarity Ferm is a blessing and a curse!

I'm open, It's Roxy's bday on Wednesday and I has reserved that night in case we were going to do anything. But we've planning something for the weekend instead. I fixed the hours post.

sounds good for me...bad for Roxy lol

I brewed up the base for my Belgium Cherry Wheat saison and I also brewed a blackberry cream ale.

[GasMD30]

I was gonna make my first 5 gallon batch... But Brewery Lane's mill is down ... It will have to wait!

Are you close by anyone with a mill?

[CorneliusAlphonse]

Brewing up some of my house red tonight, looking forward to brewing something a little more interesting later this week

[pet lion]

Making what I am calling Beachfire Ale. A light ale with some Rauchmalt for some smokiness.

Brewing up my first crack at a session IPA or whatever the hell you want to call these things 1.040 54IBU's all at 0 min with a 20min steep

How many lbs of hops did you use?

[LiverDance]

150g in total. a split between amarillo, cascade, chinook, columbus, simcoe and centennial.

[Keith]

That's really good, I was expecting it to be higher for a 0 min addition.

[Jimmy]

Likely has something to do with the 20 minute steep?

[Keith]

Shouldn't you be residing your house or something?

[LiverDance]

Keith, why do you believe it should be higher? This is the math that beersmith is telling me so that's what I went with.

Brian, are you having much luck with your steeping, hop stands, whirlpool additions etc.? I tried it a few times and wasn't that impressed.

I also think not enough hops. Doesn't seem like it would give you 54 IBUs, can't believe it says that, but if you've double checked your entries, it will probably be right.

Are you steeping at 90C? BS steeping calculations are for a steeping temperature of 90C, and he is estimating an IBU contribution of half the contribution of a similar boil time addition. So BS 2.2 will calculate your 20 min steep the same as a 10 min boil addition, in terms of IBUs. IBUs will be much less if the steep is at lower temperature than that, and BS does not calculate lower temperature steeps. The whole thing is up for debate also. Steeping at that temperature might cause DMS issues as it will still be being produced and not boiled off ???

I tasted the wort and there seemed to be the right amount of bitterness for what I'm shooting for but until it ferments I will reserve judgement. This is the first time I've only added hops at 0 mins

Finally mostly settled into the new place and looking to brew up 10g of pineapple IPA. Any suggestions tips or brilliant ideas appreciated

[jacinthebox]

I kegged my Le Dorado Saison, & a keg of Dos Amigo for pig roast.
Racked my Belgium Wheat saison on top of 2 cans of cherry puree. I have to rack my Blackberry Cream Ale over to a carboy tonight.

And tonight I'm brewing another batch of Dos Amigo.

We are starting to think about some Oktoberfest brews...leaving us some time to lager anything that needs to be lagered

Interesting brew. Would you let us know what the beer says (what you think of it).

Phil,
I was really happy with my version Pineapple IPA. I didn't change the malt build and am kegging V2 of it tonight. I adjusted the hops, and used fresh pineapple in the boil vs juice. I'll try to find my hop schedule when I return home tonight. The batch I brewed was 5 gallon as I'm still playing with the hops a bit.

Just finished kegging my first Nut Brown and 2nd Pineapple IPA. Just about to work on this hard lemonade.

The Pineapple IPA is amazing, if it tastes this good once cold and carbonated, I'm not changing the recipe and it will be a full time resident on tap. I'm hoping the Belma or Sack Vegas disappear soon to make room.
Nut Brown is nice. I'm not sure how close it is to style, but will enjoy a pint of it soon as it is taking residence in my open tap.
