Woah! That's quite the boat-load you've got lined up there. Tell me you've already gone through Samiklaus, Ol' Foghorn, Ruination, and a Double Bastid! :drunk:
 
I 've been eyeing the samiclaus clone in the BYO 150 great clone recipes book...

But you need to boil down from 15 gallons to 5 over 5 hours to brew it correctly...

WOW!
 
sorry about getting off topic

back to the beer

adding more hops to the IIPA

P2010073.JPG


and even more

P2010074.JPG

P2010075.JPG

if anything cool or crazy happens I will post more pictures

-Jason
 
as a side note to all of this , I don't recommend drinking that many "big" beer on a brew day, by about 9:00 pm I was way too drunk:drunk: to pay attention to much of anything

My Brother-in-law who was helping yesterday :tank:had to leave after the first brew was in the carboy, I think I have a new brewer to get signed up to the forum.



-Jason (a bit hungover)
 
a few weeks ago SWMBO transfered the brews in to secondary carboys and them complained about the mess that was left for her to clean up

Cheeto, if you ever need an assistant brewer let me know! I'd love to meet up and swap some homebrews (when I get a decent arsenal of brews that is)
 
I can appreciate the ABV and IBU values for the Chinook Invasion, the 7.62x51 is a lovely round isn't it?
 
so after all is said and done this wonderful beer falls victim to an weird puffy brown mass that grows in the bottles as well

SWMBO bottled one of the batches tthe other night and she said it had something that looked like Krausen.

I said email me a few pictures

00230.JPG

00335.JPG


This is what i get for pictures
so I tell her that she needs push through the mass with a sterile spoon then insert the racking cane

well a about a week later the bottles are full of this mass and SWMBO is freaked and throws all the bottles out.

Can't really be upset at her she is just protecting herself and the kids



-Jason
 
So here I have another full carboy with this stuff growing in it,

I am looking for a few ideas as to what this is.

Here are the remaining pictures

These along with the one from the last post I hope that is enough to help


Thank you

-Jason

brettanomyces, what strain I do not know

its hard to say there are just to many variables. oxyclean the crap out of those carboys and rinse well and sanitize with star-san. oxyclean is the only good way to clean a carboy or a corny keg. some people round here might want the sour beer though. i do not care for lambics.
 
Dude. what the hell???????

Did you forget how to sanitize while you were in Iraq? you have a major vector of infection going on....shoot....and you're not gonna be home for awhile right?

I wish I lived closer and could go over there and take a look, and nuke it all for you...
