Oktoberfest beers

Depending on when my hops are ready to be harvested, I may be doing an IPA, wet hopped with cascade and eroica, and dry hopped with nugget.

I'm hoping to test out the new mill on Sunday after we get back from the wedding. I'll be brewing 15 gallons. 10 gallon IPA using my Pineapple IPA recipe malt build, will adjust the hops a bit to use up some leftovers in the freezer. I'll also be brewing a 5 gallon of my nut brown. I'll be adding 1/4lb of Crystal 30 to increase the malt presence slightly, and 1/4lb of Carapils to help with the head retention. If ABV goes too high, I want to stay in style so I'll reduce some of the base malt if necessary.

As I have 8 empty kegs and this only filling 3 the following weekend I'll brew another 15 gallons. I may brew a nice Bitter and a wheat beer.

Mashed in on my Hailstorm IPA at lunch and will finish up after supper this eve. Seems fitting to brew this after the weather last week

Kirsten taught my sister how to brew this week. This is a picture of my sister, stirring the mash.

They made a session IPA, which they split up to ferment with two different yeasts.

Are you going to post a recipe for that? I know a prospective Brewnoser who is extremely interested in being able to brew a session IPA. Is it traditional English style or American?

Brewing a brown porter tonight. Maris Otter, Brown Malt, Flaked Barley and a bit of Chocolate malt. East Kent Goldings for the hops. Pitching Irish Ale 1084 on this.

Mashed in on an Orange and Peppercorn Saison around 10.Gonna dry this Fucker right out.

Was planning to brew up a saison, but somehow ended up cleaning my kegs and keezer instead. Some nasty stuff there, have to pick up some damp rid. Also cleaned the taps and shanks, some nasty grime in there. The saison has to wait til next weekend.

Currently cooling down 5 gal of Fizzy Yellow Beer, essentially a Vienna Ale (I think Whyte made this one last fall).

First brew with my new mash tun (thanks Trevor!) and my new cooler bag (thanks Jimmy and Becky!). Edit: oh hey, first time using one o' them newfangled wide-mouth fermenters (thanks Dave!)

Giving it WLP080 Cream Ale Blend. Also hitting it with the ClarityFerm as it's a gift batch (or at least most of it is; have to keep some around for quality control purposes).

Brewing 10 Gallons of my house IPA. Not dry hopping this batch.

Brewed a split batch (10gal ) used wl german ale/kolsch on 5gal and wl helles lager on the other 5 gal.

1st time making yeast starters...made a 2L for the kolsch, and made a 2l for the helles, then stepped it with an other 2l...lots of healthy yeast for the lager

[GDoucet]

I made a munich helles a few months ago with the same wl yeast. Good clean taste but it wasn't as malty as I would have liked. What did you use for malt?

Going to do the BCS non-caramel APA. Doing a 120 minute boil (on purpose this time) and using Galena for bittering because I've got it on hand. Fermenting with San Diego Super Yeast (WLP091) mostly because I have it but also in an effort to have a bottled beer ready in 4 weeks.

[Keith]

This is going to be a busy weekend. I need ti clean Stanley, clean and sterilize 8 kegs, keg 10 gallons of my house IPA and brew 10 gallons of my Nut Brown.

Keep us posted. Been eyeing that recipe for a while. Interested in how this one works out.

[mr x]

That's a solid recipe.

Don't wait, I can assure you it's very good and I'm sure there's other folks on here who will also vouch for it.

The APA kit from Everwood is "remarkably similar" to this recipe.

In addition to the 120 minute boil I've lowered the gravity a little to try to make it more sessionable and to account for the higher expected attenuation of the yeast. Predicted Gravities are 1.052/1.010 for 5.5%ABV. I won't be too unhappy if It comes in a little lower than that.

Making a pale ale with Cluster hops for Hoptoberfest.

Was going to make a dubbel for the December calendar thingy, but I forgot to make a starter. But as I had already mashed in, I am switching it to oude brun. Fermenting it for a week with us-05 before racking to secondary and adding a pouch of roselare blend. Will hopefully be sour enough before December.

[LiverDance]

I'm making my farmhouse Brett beer for the december advent swap today

[Keith]

Just cooling 10 gallons of Nut Brown. I'll probably brew a fresh batch for Decembeer as I don't expect this to last 3 months.
