Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
What a horrible brew day. Went back to the 3 vessel setup for the day and it was a clusterfuck. I had like 10L of extra wort pre-boil, royally fucked my pre-boil gravity on my DIPA...I ended up boiling for an hour before I even started timing my 90 min boil and hop additions. Then I had my first boil over..wasn't paying attention and looked outside to see wort spewing over the top and all over my patio.
When everything was all said and done, I hit my target gravity & volume so all should be good.

Glad to hear that you are using your setup a higher purpose than BIAB! Good show.Jimmy wrote:What a horrible brew day. Went back to the 3 vessel setup for the day and it was a clusterfuck.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Almost to the end of the sacch rest for my harvest ale. 13oz fresh Columbus in the mash. Going to be a ridiculously hoppy beer, but harvest time only comes once a year, so why not?

Made this on Sunday morning .. Rickards Clone from Homebrewcrew. http://www.brewnosers.org/forums/viewto ... t=rickards First time using refractometer - a hell of a lot more convenient on brew day!

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Brewed a random unknown strain fresh-hop brew on Sunday.
Some friends moved into a place that had ready to pick (a little past ready, actually) hops growing over the back deck.
Managed to salvage about 11oz of em - a bunch were starting to brown and show mildew
Since there were so few, I tossed in 1.5oz of columbus at 60 for a little extra bitter kick and continually pitched the fresh hops over the last 20 minutes of the boil as I inspected and cleaned em up.
None left over for dry hop but it should hopefully still be tasty. I'll try to keep some around for November's meeting - maybe we can collectively figure out what hops i've stumbled upon :p
