What is everyone brewing this week?
Big brew day is this weekend correct?
I'll be attending some of the festivities in Jackson.

I'll be brewing that wheat beer recipe I just posted. Hitting up our local Zoo Brew Saturday

I'm thinking about doing an extract gose here soon. It would make for a good weeknight brew that I can do in my apartment. Maybe 5-6 lbs of wheat malt extract + salt and coriander. Start with L. brevis and finish with clean ale yeast.

I actually would like to brew a non-saison but at the moment temp control is difficult for me. So fermenting at 75+ is the easiest option. I suppose I could go the swamp cooler route but I really dont like that option.
I have the stuff to brew a pale ale but just haven't gotten around to it.

I just have to throw in some non-sour comments every now and then before this thread gets renamed the Sour Homebrewing In Process Thread.

Brewed my pineapple IPA last sat and probably going to rerack tonight into my secondary fermentation. I plan on putting one chopped fresh pineapple and a can of juice a couple days before bottling. OG was 1.047 I have no clue where this will end up. Anywhere from 4-6 ABV would be my guess.

I kegged 5 gallons and bottled 5 gallons of my IPA. This was my first time bottling an entire batch and it wasn't that bad at all.

Let it go for a while after you add that fruit and juice before bottling. There's no telling how much sugar you're adding. Don't want bottle bombs.

Wouldn't be a brew day without something screwing up
Today is the regulator on my burner

yeah, you're going to need to let it ferment the sugars in the pineapple before you bottle it.

Well, other than my regulator being broken and having to use an old burner, brew day was a cinch. The last couple batches I've come up about half a gallon short on volume but getting all the sugars still, so I can top off the kettle and be right on with the preboil gravity

That's one thing I'm still trying to get right on my set up, water volumes. I'd love to get exactly 5.5 gallons in a fermentor one time

I usually shoot for about 6.5 gallons of wort after the boil, that way I have plenty to go into the fermenter with some left in the kettle

Finished up processing my pomegranates(20lbs total) for my house saison. I am going to brew this beer 5 times in a row.
15 gallon to keg and drink when ready.
5 gallons to keg and keep for a homebrew club party later this year.
5 gallons to bottle and age for experimental purposes.
Now I just need to find the time for 5 brewing sessions

For a small little beer, it fermented violently today. Wouldn't surprise me if it's finished in just 4-5 days.

Bug, B sent me your French benefits saison. Very nice beer. Dry, fruity, and a little tart even. Well done!
Posted on 5/3/15 at 1:51 pm to LoneStarTiger
Made it to Texas without me having it. Ain't right.
Posted on 5/3/15 at 2:03 pm to s14suspense
The blood orange version will be later after a trip to town

We need pictures! Oh and... the boxes destined for Bottomland and you are still in the home office awaiting postage #ImaHorriblePersonToTradeWith

Went to the Embrace the Funk fest today. As an über nerd, I took a few mason jars and grabbed dregs from many of the Brewers. Already got them going on the stir plate.
