Interesting.....can you get a dragon fruit extract or are you just adding real dragon fruit to the secondary? Have you done this before and if so how'd it turn out?

[mr x]

First time. Using real fruit. Puree is out there, but hard to find in this country. Although I should check the asian shops.

Saturday Sanitarium and I will be brewing 3 double batches; Blonde Ale, Irish Red, and a Porter. Let's hope the weather stays nice.

We have our annual Big Brew this weekend and I'm making an APA with Cascade bittering and Amerillo for flavour and finish

[benwedge]

I guess I'm doing an IPA to replace the one that went sour. Had been planning to re-do the APA I made before hoptoberfest, I think that will be pushed to the following weekend, after payday.

[Jayme]

I'm brewing a black IPA tonight and Watermelon Wheat on Saturday.

[BBrianBoogie]

Flemish Red with the Mack.

[chalmers]

Boom goes the dynamite. And before or after the Flemish Red, LD and I will be doing a Wit.

[Graham.C]

Just chilling a batch of comfortably numb to pitch into and have my random brown mashing at the same time. Great day for brewing out here in the marsh.

[Tony L]

Was planning on a Spruce Ale Sunday, but it looks like the weather will be crappy, so I'll do it sometime later this week.

Keggle I believe..

[sleepyjamie]

yep i have a keggle.

[TimG]

Interesting.. there is no way my 50L keg would be able to handle a 10gal BIAB. Are you topping up with DME?

Brewing a Stone Levitation clone tomorrow and doing a Citra IPA on Sunday—family brew day, that one should be interesting.

[RubberToe]

I'm planning on breaking in my rig tomorrow or Saturday. I'm going to brew my Amarillo Pale Ale with some slight modifications: more late hopping and less 2-row since my efficiency will be way better. I'm actually looking for a bit lower ABV this time (4.8% or so), last time it was 5.5%. I really liked this beer.

I'm looking at a 30L strike water vol BIAB with about 22L going into the fermenter. My calculations are based on 75% efficiency which I'll modify once I actually brew on the system.

Like the Aromatic malt in that recipe.

[RubberToe]

Thanks, it comes through alright. A nice quaffable brew with decent hop flavour and the aromatic and flaked barley lend to a balanced maltynes and decent mouthfeel.

[jeffsmith]

Multitasking—collecting first runnings for my Levitation call and participating in a conference call for work. Making sure my time spent on the call is productive.

Is that the Can You Brew It clone recipe? I brewed that last year... came out really tasty, and surprisingly close to the real thing.

[jeffsmith]

It is, though I don't have any Crystal hops on hand, so just going to sub in Amarillo—can't go wrong with that.
