Valentine’s Day has passed. What will you be doing in the wake of that vaunted holiday (and with the 3 day president’s day weekend to boot)
I’ll be teaching an all-grain class on Sunday to make my Cookie Celebration Ale in honor of the recently paralyzed wonder pup who’s now walking again!
here’s the header art from the column that i describe the basic idea of an oatmeal raisin cookie brown ale with herbs and spices that traditionally have a “nerve stimulant” effect
I think I will be brewing an Rye IPA. I hardly ever brew IPA’s as they make me sleepy and my wife doesn’t care for them. but she likes some rye ipas so I will give it a try.
Brewing an all cascade hopped amber ale with 60% munich malt.
I’ll be brewing Rye IPA on Fri.
Hefeweizen for St. Pats day for me. Good beer to kick off spring since im not a huge fan of dry stout or irish red.
I’ll be teaching a friend to brew doing a double (13 gallon) batch of my BoPils recipe except we’re going to use all homegrown Mt. Hood hops instead of Saaz, half the batch will be fermented with 2001 and the other half with 2206. We may even dry hop with something fun in the two, 1.5 gallon bonus volumes and end up with 4 different beers. Cheers!
It looks to be a Dortmunder this weekend. It will be the 7th pitch of this yeast. The most I’ve done before was 5 so we’ll see how it turns out. Right now #5 is tasting awesome. #6 has been lagering for a week although the sample out of the fermenter shows good promise. Cheers!!!
Either a cream ale or the Landlord clone.
cool, Denny and I might be brewing a Rye IPA at the same time! I feel special ;D
Bottling my copper ale tomorrow and my blonde early next week. This will leave both my fermenters open :o
Hoping my dunkelweizen kit gets here soon…
Yesterday brewed a mild, today brewed an esb, tomorrow a milk stout, and friday a porter!! busy couple of days. Also need to keg an ipa and a chocolate milk stout, bottle a saison.
I need to keg a Cream Ale (I think it’s a cream ale, I may have to look up what I brewed) that’s been sitting in the secondary for a while. :-\
No brewing again this weekend. I’m refinishing a room in the basement and can barely get into the shop much less brew in there.
Paul
My kinda guy!
Strong Golden Ale on Saturday. NHC brew 4/5. Only one more left after this weekend!
While sipping on my Rochefort 10 (thanks wifey), I’m feeeling some Belgian inspiration.
I’ll be judging at The War of the Worts on Saturday then bottling up some Barleywine on Sunday.
No brewing this weekend.
“Brewed” a slight variant of Joe’s Ancient Orange Mead.
I didn’t want to go to the store, so I used clementines since that’s what I had.
Chugging nicely this morning.
This weekend I’ll be drinking in the backcountry…
House IPA for me. I may squeeze another dunkelweizen in on Monday since I have President’s Day off.
I hope to start getting my spring lineup in order too. Spring and fall are my favorite brewing seasons. I really like to prepare a short list of the beers I plan to brew for the season.
Teaching a couple friends to brew with an extract pale on Saturday and then Monday I’ll be brewing my first IPA in damn near a year with a few new gadgets. Picked up an inline aeration, sight glass, pre chiller strainer and an RO unit this last week and I’m a bit excited about all of it.
No brewing this weekend, I’ll be judging at War of the Worts as well. On Sunday I’m kegging a brown porter and tasting/back sweetening some meads.
