What's the longest you've ever left your wort out (before pitching yeast, chilling, etc)? Normally I always chill the wort down in 15-20 minutes, get it into the carboy, pitch the yeast, etc. Sadly yesterday, I got a call from my girlfriend (car broke down) as soon as the boil finished and I...

Today feels like the perfect day. 1. All my college work is DONE for the next week. 2. I'll graduate soon. 3. I'm brewing beer today with 3 of the best friends you could ever ask for. 4. NO WORK!!! :rockin: 5. It's raining today, and the light misty drizzle feels like my old home in...

Great brewing setup!

Brewing some hefe tomorrow.

Brewin' this badboy tomorrow Ed. Gotta use this cool weather to produce a tasty hefe before the sweltering summers kick in.

Great labels man. For a second I mistook this thread as a thread for the ''Blue Grass Brewing Co.'' aka BBC here in Louisville.

Cheers to your good health my friend! :mug:

Still tastes tart. I cracked another one open and the tartness of the brew overpowers it a little bit, since the brew itself is so light in body. I'm just going to leave it alone in bottle until summer and see how it turns out then. I've had a lot of good feedback from people who've sampled...

Wow.. I haven't seen Tsingtao since I lived in China. Did you purchase that here or during a visit to China?

Dang dude that's rough. Like others have said, glad you got all the bits n pieces out. Also good stuff that you remembered the glasses.

Same. Scared the hell out of me. :drunk: Find some really high gravity brews, and enjoy the bit of downtime you have.

Whoo hoo, I made it! :rockin:

Finished product. OG/FG was dead on perfect. Great beer. Light, refreshing, crisp, with a wonderful aroma of raspberry in the nose when you drink it. Color was a bit more golden than I expected but it still has a beautiful slightly pink hue to the haze.

Here is the lovely brew, after 30 days in bottle. Still has a way to go on taste (still tastes young), but its really nice, light, refreshing, and the fruit was not overpowering at all. The aroma is wonderful. Color is hazy and slightly pink as it should be.

It's been bottled. I will post up pictures of bottling soon. Ended up with 38 (16 oz) swing top bottles. I think I got about 4.25 gallons total. Give or take.
