Didn't get to the Berliner Weisse last weekend (too beat up ).  Will do it this weekend.  Saw some things about WLP630 that make me think it might not do the job for me.  Anyone have any experience with this yeast that got good results?

[bluesman]

Perparing for Big Brew next weekend.  I'll be brewing 11 gallons of a Brown Ale.  Taking the RV with my cooler and kettle on the road next weekend to our club's Big Brew site. 

No brewing this weekend.

[Mark G]

Got a starter going yesterday for a premium bitter.

Mexican Lager over here.....

Since I didn't get it done last weekend I will be brewing my Apricot Pale Ale. 

[saintpierre]

I will be working on finishing up rewiring of our first floor (kitchen/dining room) and fitting in my first attempt at cider.

Brewing a Belgian pale ale (Gordon Strong's King from Brewing Better Beer). Thought about squeezing in a second batch, will see how the energy is late afternoon tomorrow. Want to enjoy the process... sometimes less is more. Made a starter last night; just patted it on the head and tucked it in for the evening.

I am brewing a Cream Ale this weekend.  I am hoping for a nice lawnmower beer that the in-laws will enjoy.

[narcout]

Tomorrow, I'm brewing a saison with Wyeast 3711 and kegging an oak-smoked hefeweizen.

[ynotbrusum]

An Irish Blonde, plus getting my starter going for WLP 001 for the Big Brew Bucksnort Ale.

[cheba420]

My 1st Saison. I'm following Jamil's recipe from Brewing Classic Styles.

[BrewingRover]

I racked my Falconers Flight 7Cs IPA this afternoon. My goodness, that smelled outrageous. The gravity sample wasn't bad, either
