Anyone have anything planned.  I have to work from home tomorrow and I cleaned the brewery yesterday so I would like to get something in a fermenter.  Debating what to brew but leaning towards a simple lager with WLP838 since I have that ready to go.

I have a hoppy blonde and a Vienna lager that are both at the end of primary. The 1056 in the hoppy blonde will be used for an Amarillo-Citra pale ale sometime over the weekend. The Bayern yeast in the Vienna will be used for a helles or a Festbier (haven't decided yet which one will be first) which may be sometime next week. Drez, you should make something similar to New Glarus Two Women with that yeast (which is supposed to be 2308, right?). They call it a "German Country Lager". Somewhere around half pils, half Munich 2, one hop addition at the beginning of the boil to about 26-28 IBUs. You could add a small addition of hops with about 20 minutes left. That plus the 838 will make a delicious, simple lager beer. Cheers.

That sounds like a beer I could get behind but I think I may do that one as a second go with this yeast.  I am thinking a nice light golden lager for the hot days. 

 

10# Pils

1# Munich

Premiant @ 30 for 20-25 IBU

1oz Hallertau at 5 and 0

 

This gets me in the 1.052 sweet spot and about 4 SRM.  I can see a beer like you described being brewed after this and let it "chill" out till the weather starts to turn.

 

ETA: Not really sure what style this would even be... but to me it sounds tasty.

Your gold lager sounds great. I have no experience with Premiant but I'm sure it will please.

My next brewday will likely be early next week, and the tea leaves indicate that a nice English-ish IPA will be on the docket.

It is high alpha and I have used it at 30 before to bitter with and I do not get any unpleasant carry over in the beer so it seems to work good for me.

Not here.  Throwing a big party for my wife's birthday.  It will be the first time in 15 years that I haven't had time to brew Rye IPA for it.  The recipe was originally put together for the party.

Summertime RyePA tomorrow.  Finished prepping everything about 30 minutes ago.  Good day to basement brew - rain in the morning and clearing later.  All Citra

Just found out that my wife and daughter are going into the big city tonight so I'm scheduling the brewday for late this afternoon & this evening. I will transfer this hoppy blonde to a keg, harvest the 1056 and make an Amarillo-Citra pale ale tonight. That may leave Sunday afternoon for another session with the Augustiner yeast. I have a helles, a dunkel and a festbier all slated with that yeast.

This went down with no issues today. Only change was adding half an ounce of Premiant with the Hallertau at zero and the five minute addition became a 10 minute because I was not paying attention.
Smelled great going into the fermenter, gravity will be checked when I pitch in the morning.

Good brew day.  Cut off the fly sparge a bit early so I went with a 40 minute boil since my volume was off a bit.  Saved some time and all the hops were late additions anyway.  Hopefully a nice light RyePA for the dog days............

Efficiency was better than expected, came out to 1.060.

Today's English-ish IPA has been put to bed.

 

Used up some EKG (FWH + some late additions) that've been in the freezer too long, along with some Pilgrim for bittering.  Also used up the last of last year's crop of homegrown Cascades for late and flameout additions.

Wort smelled pretty damn good going into the primary.
