No brewing, but we’re doing a beer dinner at a friend’s house. Everyone brings a course with paired beer.
Belgian Wit and Golden Monkey clone (this time with the Ardennes yeast).
Both to be tapped for my son’s Christening.
I should probably get the starters going tonight…
Finally going to brew the amber ale that i have been meaning to brew for the last 2 weeks.
Hope to get started early tomorrow before the heat really kicks-in.
Feeling like a sweet hoppy aromatic brew ;D

No brewing…I’ve got 4 batches in fermenters to deal with.
Wife demands some Porter and it sounds good since I’ve been drinking a lot of hoppy beers lately. Hey Denny how’s that quad coming along?
Brewing a triple.
Nothing brewing this weekend. Need to clean a couple of kegs and keg one of the batches I brewed a couple weekends ago.
I don’t think I’ll be brewing, but if I find time, I need to get an APA going. I will be kegging an IPA and saison though.
Awesome uber braid? This thread is worthless without pics!
No brewing. Kegging my Quad and bottling my entries for The Pilner Urquell Competition in NYC on Monday night.
Denny’s BVIP, first time brewing it. Woohoo!
Let me know how the competition goes… I’ll be at the one in Chicago next Friday.
Will do!
This weekend I’m doing my next iteration of a Belgian Gold. The first time I brewed this (out of 80 Classics) I really liked it but I wanted to try and tweak it just a little much. Hopefully by the end of the year I’ll have it down exactly how I want it so I can make it my ‘house’ beer
Brewing a porter, fining a year-old mead in preparation for bottling next weekend, and lagering my Oktoberfest.
Where simplicity does well - this is one gets a lot of great feedback & will be brewing this weekend:
All Pilsen malt + 1/2 pound of carapils
All Saaz whole hops (schedule is 60, 30, 10 on a 90 min boil)
White Labs Lager yeast
going for 6% ABV, 40 IBU, mash ~150, ferment at 65, dryhop with Centennial or similar.
I was hoping to brew a Belgian Strong Ale, but will not have time.
Saturday afternoon and evening I get to be judge director of the beer festival at the Lowery Park Zoo, called WaZoo. We’re going to try to assess the winners out of about 250 commercial beers.
