What's on your to brew list?

[Banbeer]

Just bought a few kits and the one I want to try first is a Saison (Youngs NWS) never tried a Saison before so curious.
Just had my Kveik yeasts delivered so I'm eager to try it soon.

I enjoy an occasional Saison but have never brewed one so stand to be corrected but would it be better with a Saison yeast rather than a Kveik one.

Hi @trueblue, no not using the Kveik for the Saison as that needs a Belgian yeast, I'll try the Kveik on a APA.

I can’t imagine ever being that organised CC. Fair play nice selection of beers. I’m brewing two ales tomorrow. That’s as much as I know right now!!

That'll be one batch of "Fly-by-the-seat of-ones-pants" and a sneaky batch of "whaddeverwuzleft"?

 

[Arcs]

Pretty much alot of the Godzawa extract line. Looks promising. I had the porter of theirs and it's not bad xD

Next up for me is exmoor gold clone as my supply is getting low.
After that it's the Belgian tripel from 'the bible' with citra hop additions, first attempt will see how it goes.

Any suggestions on timings and amounts for citra additions. Plan to brew this next week

Winter Saison ( more or less the recipe on homebrew association )

5.5kg Vienna
120g chocolate
120g special W
120g carafa 2
120g roasted barley cold steeped then added to the boil.

20 g Magnum @60 mins
500g dried prunes soaked in red wine@ day 14

Yeast WLP 670 farmhouse Brett Saison.
This will be aged for 12 weeks before bottling.

Is this a version of Michael Tonsmeire's Dark Winter Saison?

If so, I've made a similar recipe using Zante currants instead of prunes. I thought it came out well and really benefits from aging, so put some bottles to one side!

 

[Clint]

I been to Zante...

I’ve got ingredients in to do a Belgian wit and Sorachi Saison and will get them on in a few weeks. After them I’m out of grain and need to order more, but think I might do another couple of lagers (a Mexican Cerveza probably because that was the first lager I ever did, and maybe a kellerbier if I’m brave or a German pils). We’ve also been growing basil on the windowsill and it’s going well so I’ve been looking into basil pale ale recipes. I’ll top it off with another batch of my good old APA recipe (if I can get hold of Falconers Flight, otherwise I might try some American hops I’ve not used before)

I have a Czech lager currently fermenting, and a raspberry Berliner Weisse and a Vienna lager conditioning (although I’ve had a few sneaky bottles of each - the BW is just about ready To drink, but the Vienna has a hint of diacetyl that needs a little more conditioning.

I’m drinking:

• v2 of my ACAB citra blonde ale (name is because V1 was brewed for my mate’s stag do last year and he’s a policeman - it stands for A Classic American Blonde honest),
• V4 of my Common People steam beer,
• a 3 year old Belgian Dubbel and
• a Frankenstein of an American IPA which was going to start life as an American wheat, but I used the citra in my blonde and had a load of Vienna left. Bought in some simcoe and cascade BBC planning on doing an APA with some wheat malt in it but it’s turned out much more bitter than planned so it’s now officially an IPA

I’ve had some time to plan my next 5 brews this week. I’ve finally decided on:

• Japanese style lager (GH recipe but I might up the Sorachi ace)
• APA (my “house” recipe)
• NEIPA (hop choice TBC but I’ll likely have some Sorachi left - might pair it with some limey New Zealand hops and some Citra)
• Muncher Hell (inspired by the Paulaner I bought in M&S yesterday - from my research it looks quite easy: 90% pilsner 10% Munich, bitter to about 15IBU and wave some noble hops over it at the end of the boil)
• Graham Wheeler Boddingtons clone (My dad was a fan of the cask stuff in the 90s so I’ll see if I can replicate. Also to see if I can get carbonation right for a bitter now that I’m kegging rather than bottling - is it worth getting a stout spout for my intertap to try and mimick a beer engine sparkler?)

 

[Oneflewover]

After much Procrastination I've just ordered ingredients for my next few brews:
- Belgian quad (ingredients already in)
- centennial pale
- Dopplebock
- A hoppy Saison using enigma hops (wanted Nelson sauvin, but GEB didn't have any)

Brew on!

Yes it's his recipe, I subbed out the currants for prunes. How long did you age it for.

Can't wait to get started again when the weather cools in September:

The more I read the books the more I add...

 

[Arrakus]

I’ve been making single hop Pales for most of the year. Same simple grain bill (extra pale Maris otter, carapils, oat & husk) but a different hop each time. I’ve got mosaic, simcoe and Idaho left in stock. After this three its stout and porter season for me.

almost forgot: just bottled a kit cider which is lovely so I might knock another one out before summer is over

An impressive list Cheshire if I may say. Very interested in your thoughts on the Raspberry Wheat beer ie any problems, it's on my to brew list and I've also been looking for an authentic Hoegaaarden recipe, first tried it in the 80,s whilst in Belgium, but since being taken over it seems to have lost some flavour in my opinion
