Made a couple of starters, trying out some yeast blends for the first time. American Farmhouse Blend (WLP670), and the other is a Roeselare Blend, given to me by a local brewery that makes awesome sours. Release the funk.

I got lucky the other day, and bought five used corny kegs. The guy was selling 11 of 'em for 40 bucks a pop. So I grabbed 5, and left the others for someone else.

Rock On! :rockin:

Here's Sunny, one of our fat cats.

Brewed for the first time in quite awhile. Used a bunch of my new equipment, too!

Today, I learned a valuable lesson. After, cleaning up ~2 gallons of beer, off my garage floor. Always check, and tighten down, QD's swivel nuts. :smack:

I've had my CO2 tank, filled at Keg N Bottle, on El Cajon Blvd.

Drilled a pilot hole, in my 60Q Concord Kettle, then punched a 13/16" hole. It was pretty difficult, and I destroyed a few bits, in the process.

Finally bent a 50' x 1/2" copper tubing coil, I had laying around, into a wort chiller. I'd say it's an upgrade! Here it is, next to my old 25' x 3/8" chiller.

Cleaned up the brew spot, and got things ready for my next brew day. Disassembled, and cleaned off, my monster mill. Swept the floor, and consolidated some equipment.

Just purchased a False Bottom, for my 10 gal Spike Brewing Kettle. Thanks Jaybird, I'm very excited about this upgrade to my setup!

Since I didn't see them mentioned already, I really like Labelpeelers, because of the low prices, hop union packaging, and they always have sales going on. I've used a couple other's that I like as well, including, From Grain to Glass, and Farmhouse Brewing Supply.

I just rinse it off, and boil it in the starter wort.

Bought a Saison Dupont, to try something new. I'll see about saving the dregs.

50' coil of 1/2" Copper tubing, from Amazon.

I work at a beer bar, so I was able to have some Alpine Nelson on cask earlier, it was great. And when the cask ran out, switched to Alpine Duet on tap, also great...

Racked 6 gal of Oat stout, to a couple of 3 gal cornies. Thinking of adding something special to one of 'em. Probably Bourbon, and Oak cubes. It would be a first, for me.

Another local here, who also will not be attending NHC, unfortunately. However, I'll be following this thread, and would love to grab some beers with fellow HBTer's. Also, I can help provide some suggestions on places to visit... such as food/restaurants/beaches/breweries/pubs/bottleshops.

Cleaned up a mess, that my stout left me. I should have used blow-off tube.
