Each year the brewers in my neighborhood get together to welcome the new year with a January 1 brew day.  We tend to keep it simple, so a lot of equipment doesn't need to get hauled.  This year I am making a saison...the stir plate is clacking along with my starter yeast as we speak.  My first try with WLP 568, so I am hoping for the best.  Anybody else have a brew planned for the new year?

I don't plan to brew, but that's cool that you all are. You won't be too hung over to brew? I actually don't plan to go anywhere on new year's eve. Just don't care for the "holiday" and don't need to be out on the road with all the drunk drivers.

I have nothing planned for New Years Day. My first of the 2014 will be in a week or so and it will be a hoppy pilsner. I think it's pretty cool you can get a "group" of brewers together from the neighborhood to brew. I don't even know any brewers in my area lol.

If I brew it'll be a best bitter.

My resolution for 2014 is to brew all my beer in my stainless conicals using pressurized fermentation.

I want to brew New Year's Day, but I doubt it will happen. If my brew days don't start before 10am, they don't start at all.

German Pilsener, but not till Saturday.

I expect to be hung over all day but in the event I am functional I have a small batch of adambier I plan on brewing.

I was going to brew a Munich Helles on New Year's Day, but didn't get my yeast starter going in time so I'm switching to a DIPA.

I have a couple lagers planned and want to do a run of bitters, reusing the yeast.  Others planned for 2014 include a Dunkelweisen and Schwarzbier.

I won't be brewing on the 1st, but plan to brew a German Pilsner on Saturday or Sunday.  The yeast cake from that pilsner will be used for a Maibock in a few weeks.

Next up is an American Black Ale, but not on New Years Day, hopefully next weekend.  After that is a double batch of Lambic.

Not brewing on the 1st but brewing today. Just started my mash on a dubbel.

I don't go out on New Year's Eve or St. Patrick's Day. Too many careless people driving.

I've got a German Pils on deck for Thursday or Friday.  Here is my plan for New Years Day....


 
Happy New Year everyone.

I think I'm going to do a second try on an IPA recipe and a Marzen for my first two brews of the new year. But not this week. Also supposed to be brewing a 15 bbl batch of my sour beer with cherries at Thirsty Bear in San Francisco this month so that will likely be the first or possibly second batch of the year.

[hopfenundmalz]

My beers on deck are a Helles, a German Pils, and a Barleywine. The yeast when ready, will decide which I do first.
