Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Today I did my first brew since April 26. I could only chill down to 22 degrees due to the ground water temp. In the winter I can get down to 10 in no time. Dartmouth Pilsner. I'm letting it chill in the fridge a bit before oxygenating and pitching yeast. W-34/70 for this one.
I have the grain bill together for a Mild I'll be knocking out real soon as well. I'm thinking a saison after that.

It's been a while since I fired up the kettle. Just finished brewing an APA tonight. It was a great day in Halifax for brewing on the deck.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
My chiller just shit the bed (leaking hose) at the end of a "summer ale" I covered the pot, and am going to let it cool overnight and going to pitch some T-58 tomorrow. Fuck it, its my time. Who knows, maybe it'll be good.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Well, I got 5 of the 6 done and I swapped out the SMaSH for a RyePA. It was good to do that many in a 2 day period, I really dialed in my BIAB system. The last batch was 68% efficiency. I have my timing down too, takes 3 hours exactly from when I first add water in to the kettle to when I'm all cleaned up.EverwoodAveBrewShop wrote:Slow day at the store means I'm brewing. I'm trying to get 6 batches brewed this weekend, all 5 gallon BIAB on my stove.
1. Ballast Point Sclupin Clone - Done
2. Tankhouse Ale Clone - Done
3. Nut Brown - Done

Gravity came in a touch high (1.050) and volume a touch low, but I can tell you it's smelling pretty swell as of this morning.Keith wrote: oh you're doing the APA with Simcoe and Amarillo. That's going to be a tasty sonna bitch! Let me know how it works out. I might have to do the same!

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Haven't brewed since the munchkin was born. Doughed in a 10 g BIAB earlier this afternoon. Making an american cream ale and Saison from one mash. I'm diluting the Saison with 2 liters of water boiled with some spices. So happy to unleash the inner brew beast tonight.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
What kind of ratio did you do for the Simcoe and Amarillo? 50/50 or favoring one or the other?Keith wrote: keg my Simcoe/Amarillo IPA soon (really once I feel motivated).

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
Definitely. It's a new recipe from scratch. Should be OK. But will probably need some fine tuning. Or maybe it is stupid tasty.

Re: What's everyone making this weekend?
I haven't brewed since mid-April so I'm really looking forward to making a Chinook IPA tomorrow. I used the same recipe for my last batch with Cascade and it came out amazing. It was my 8th all grain batch and my best yet by a long shot!
Prepped the grain and water salts tonight to spread out the effort a little. Can't wait to do this!
