What's everyone brewing?

[Stusbrews]

Just finished a wake & bake stout. It came out a few points shy at 1.083 vs 88, but Im happy with it.
Also got 22L instead of 19, but its too black to tell how much trub is in there!

Hmmm wake'n'bake eh? What kinds of hops did you sneak into that beer??

[Stusbrews]

Basically nothing for hops: 1 oz of chinook. The coffee will bitter it up a little more.

Just finished a wake & bake stout. !

IIRC that was the name of a brew Chalmers brought over to me last year.

Tasty

[Stusbrews]

Yup.. probly the same one. I got a sample from LD, and he pointed me to HBT for the recipe.

[TJ Brew]

Planning to brew a split batch of spiced ales and Stone 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout sometime over the weekend...

Yep, him and Chalmers did it together AFAIK.
Like I said, tasty.

[Stusbrews]

Kudos to both for sure! It is definitely one fine brew, but its sneaky. Lol. You dont realize what youre drinking till its too late....

This evening, PEIBeerGuy and I brewed 44L of Winter Warmer for the PEI Double Barrel project. First time making a beer with molasses and/or spices. The hydrometer sample was tasting fantastic!

Centennial was supposed to be used but zues is what I have, oh well.

[Graham.C]

Just about to add my 30min hops into a winter warmer for the PEI project.

[GAM]

My gravity is high, way high.

I had mash temp troubles due to the winds.

Hope it works out.

It'll be fine. I'm looking at it as a fun project rather than an experiment. Besides seeing a difference between all the hop varieties, it will be interesting to see the differences that 15 brewers got with the sane recipe.

[GAM]

It's working away now. It will be beer just need to try a taste asap.

Just starting the boil on a red ale.

Sent from the brew timer.

[Stusbrews]

Just did up the meeting idea brew. First time Ive ever been over on both OG & volume! It was only by 2 points, and 1.5 L, but it still counts!

[chalmers]

Hmmm, more OG and volume, so your extraction was better. Any equipment or technique changes? If so, maybe you can adjust your target efficiency for next time, and get away with a little less grain (money in your pocket).

[Stusbrews]

My eff was set higher (at 72), but I also did a mashout & a flysparge this time, now that you mention it.. Will try that again on the next one, the BCS black forest stout.....mmmm chocolate....
But YAY!!! Finally seeing improvement in my brewing! Lol

[Tony L]

Mashing in a Helles right now.

[canuck]

Brewing an ESB out of the BCS book today.

[Jimmy]

I've got my California common mashing right now.

Nice, such a delicious beer! I wouldn't mind making another one again soon as well.

[pet lion]

Picked apples outside of Wolfville today for making cider later in the week. Really wish I had a fruit press.

[mr x]

If you could design, or find a design, maybe we could make one.
