What's Brewing This Weekend - 5/28 Edition

[dbeechum]

So what's the story morning glories?

I'm think RIS this weekend to have something big, rich and chewy for the summer!

[denny]

Continuing the Bye Bye Birdie analogy, what's the word, hummingbird?

Ya know, you're about the only person I know who would think of RIS as a summer beer!  I hope to do the Rye IPA that I couldn't get to last weekend.

That must be because I stole your mojo.  I brewed the Rye IPA last weekend.

Not to worry, by the time it's fermented, conditioned, aged, and ready to drink, it won't be summer any longer

After reading "Brewing with Wheat", I'd like to try my hand at a hefeweizen using a decoction (or three)...

Actually, just because I'm a twisted person, I'm pushing for it to ready to drink by the second week of July. Oh yeah.

And Denny, you know I couldn't ever do anything by the "rules"

I bottled my Black Forest Stout (JZ recipe sans cherry puree and sub'd Just Black Cherry juice) a few weeks ago and promised y'all an update:

I sampled it the other day.  The cocoa is there (not huge with either flavor or aroma), and the cherry--just barely.  If it is served too cold--it just tastes like a cold stout.  It must warm up considerably to even get a hint of the cocoa or black cherry.

I wish there was some way to doctor the beer and put more cherry flavor in it (but I've already bottled 5 gallons of it and kegged the other 5 gallons).  I'm open to ideas from anyone.  Shall I do the "Mit Schuss" Berliner Weisse thing with my stout and put some marischino cherry syrup in the glass first?  it's supposed to be a "chick" beer for my wife and all her chocaholic girlfriends.

no brewing plans, just bottling an irish red and an oktoberfest that's been lagering for about 8 weeks.  I think I might add the cherries to my lambic as well to officially turn it into a kriek

I wish that was the reason....I was caring for a dying dog....

And that's why I love ya!

Not sure what I'm making, but I am brewing on Friday.  I have lots of Munich and Pale Ale malt on hand.  Maybe a pound or two of pilsner.  Any ideas?

Brewing a BoPils on Monday.

All Munich AIPA!

Bummer... I've got 2 13 year cats and an 11 year old dog that I'm starting to worry about and then I've got a 5 year old dog with a propensity to eat everything, so...

Dang, that's a shame, sorry man
