What's Brewing This Weekend - 2/18 Edition

What’s on the schedule, my peeps?

For me, it’s time to go to San Francisco and enjoy the pleasures of the city and Anchor Brewing.

But before I leave, I’ll have juiced 21 lbs of Blood Oranges (got 3.75 liters of juice freezing now) and cleaned 18 kegs.

By next week about 12 of those kegs will be filled with Saison for the AHA Conference!

I’ll be kegging alt and pils this weekend.

Brewing up an ESB with the latest recipe tweaks.

My Arapahoe Amber, by request of my better half. It’s an American amber inspired by the Colorado Kind Ale by Mountain Sun in Boulder, Colorado.

I’ll rack my pecanwood rauchbier to kegs for lagering and brew an applewood rauchbier to pitch on the yeast.  And maybe I’ll have time to brew some sort of generic pale ale or maybe a porter.

Brewing 10 gallons of Düsseldorf Alt on Saturday.  Bottled the Smokehaus Porter last night. (I brew this one mostly for family so bottles work best.) Belgian WIT brewed last weekend is fermenting away nicely.  Pyment is about ready to x-fer. Life is good! Cheers!!!

fingers crossed on a 1.111 maple barley wine

This is a 3-day weekend (Monday is Presidents’ Day).  I’ll be camping with Troop 65 at Kapa`a Beach Park in North Kohala this weekend.

So far the BSA do not have a brewing merit badge.  :wink:

Whats the plan for those blood oranges???

No brewing for me this weekend but I’ll be making up a batch of hard lemonade tonight! Very interested to see how this one turns out.

You, good sir or madam, will have to attend the NHC to find out the earliest! :slight_smile:

A vampire breakfast drink?  There are going to be vampires at the NHC?

Brewing a Rye Pale Ale and showing two newbies all grain  :wink:

Brewing an Irish Red Ale.  Bottling a Porter.

Brewing a 10-gallon batch of APA and splitting it between US-05 and WLP007. It’s the continuation of my APA yeast experiment.

Doing a Double IPA on Friday and transferring my Memory Lapse Steam Beer on Thursday.

Looking forward to it!

I’m not sure.  I’m desperately trying to find someone to go up to Bellingham and proctor a BJCP exam so I can stay home and brew.  If I can find a volunteer I’ll do 2 or 3 batches, since it’s a stag weekend.  I’ve got my fingers crossed, if it works out I’ll let you know - the homebrew shop is a 20 minute drive, I’ll brew whatever I feel like making that I can get ingredients for that will all like the same fermentation temp.

I might brew Friday night in any event, that BDS that I didn’t get to last weekend.

Belgian Pale.  Smoked Dunkelweizen should be finished fermenting.

Tomorrow night I’ll be kegging a barleywine that I brewed over the xmas break and an Irish Red Ale brewed a couple weeks ago. I also need to rack a batch of orange blossom mead onto five pounds of peaches. Saturday AM I will be brewing my Simcoe IPA and using the Wyeast 1469 slurry from the IRA to ferment it. Sunday I’ll be dry hopping a batch of Steam beer and a SNPA clone while drinking a delicious Summit Winter Ale clone. Life is good!

Setting up this afternoon to brew an APA tomorrow.  Need to make something quick, easy, and simple and quick after the 4 lagers in a row.  Just a simple mash and short boil.
