What's your next brew

[Sandy Feet]

I rebrewed that recent west coast IPA with some tweaks: all dry hops moved to whirlpool, no 60 minute hops to compensate for the extra IBUs, and 34/70 instead of Mangrove Jack West Coast. The only fermenting space I have is the outdoor closet which is getting in the 40s/50s at night. Currently fermenting under 12 psi to help any temp shifts due to ambient changes. It'll be beer at the very least

Might be doing those temps here next week or even later this week.

Bet it will be quite tasty!

I may completely go off the rails and brew a Dark Mild

I think a Dark Mild or a Cascadian Dark will be my next brew. Just have to find the time.

Never made a Cascadian Dark. From what I’ve read it seems like I’d like it.

I got a Helles planned for my next brew as well as my second batch of Wayners Pale Ale and a hazy recipe I’ve been working on based off Tree Houses recipe they put out. Picking out yeasts currently for my Helles. Looking at Wyeast 2308 Munich lager yeast.

Can I get by using pale 2-row for a lager instead of Pilsner 2-row or is it worth picking up?

 

[Josh Hughes]

German Pilsner malt will make a difference

 

[Yontsey]

That’s what I figured. I’ll snag some on my next order.

 

[Tim Bulin]

Going to do my Shore Leave Cali Common next, thinking about pitching with BRY-97 instead of M54 just to try it.

 

[Steve Ruch]

Vienna lager on Friday.

While deciding on which of the above to brew this weekend, I went to check the recipes and came across Janet's Brown Ale. Instantly I knew I had to brew it! It's a great tasting beer and it's been too long since I last brewed it.

And this is the main reason I love having a local homebrew store. I can wait until today, to decide what I'm brewing tomorrow.

Yup, and what I miss most since my LHBS closed shop.

Oyster stout for St Patrick's Day! I'm a little late this year, but that's alright. I'm upping the oysters this year, and as always, will add them whole to the boil

Late as well. Brewing my stout today or tomorrow

I'm going to try the Cosmic Punch yeast in an IPA

I'm going to try the Cosmic Punch yeast in an IPA

I like it. Used it two or three times now, with tropical type hops and the result is definitely different than the typical citrusy aroma and flavor. if you’re into that sort of thing, I think you’ll like it.

That i do like. I'm going with Citra, Galaxy and Krush (HBC 586)

Got an Amber Lager and an Irish Red working away in the small Uni's right now. Looking to do at least a 10 gallon batch in the half-barrel Uni this weekend. Most likely the Pale Ale that my wife is fond of.
As soon as that's out of the way, I'll put a sizeable batch of Bohemian Pilsner in the big fermenter.
When the small fermenters are available, I'll probably do a split batch - maybe a proper IPA and an American Amber.
I'm just finishing up a keg of the Witbier I made for our party a few weeks ago and I'm pretty sure I have to revisit that particular beer in the next few weeks. When the weather's warm, I'm pretty much a Lager and Pale Ale drinker but when the weather is cooler, I enjoy the yeasty wheat beers - not so much Hefeweizen but Belgian Wit for sure.

I might try to modify my last Pale Ale experiment for my next batch. I loved the base. I loved the yeast. I just didn't get aggressive enough with the hops. I want to push the IBUs up to the 45 or 50 range, maybe higher if I need to, but I don't want to go crazy. I'm not going to dry hop yet. I want to see if I can get where I want with 60 and 10 minute additions. I want to go 60 on Cascade and 10 on Mosaic. I haven't worked everything out with the software yet.
My base is 63.6% Pale 21.8 Pils, 7.3% Flaked Oats, 3.6% White Wheat, and 3.6% C40. I want to use WLP067 for yeast. I want the alcohol in the upper 5's, or I could go more sessionable. I do not want a full blown 7%er IPA for this one. If y'all have any constructive ideas, I will listen, or in this case, read.

When it comes to getting the most bang for your buck with hops, the whirlpool is your friend - 10 minutes at 180F will bring out more and different character than any boil addition. Flameout hops left in while the temp drops are excellent for smooth IBU contribution and huge flavor boost. Don't waste all your Cascade in the 60 - go with a smooth high alpha hop for bittering (Magnum, Warrior, Bravo, etc) and get some Cascade in the late additions. Mosaic will do great things anywhere you use it but, like I said, whirlpool is the place it really shines...huge flavor and aroma contribution.

You might want to throw some hops in your mash.
