What I did for beer today

Ran to my local HBS to exchange my backup CO2 tank. The one that's on is about to kick.

No sarcasm, but those frustrations are still golden moments.

Oh yes...you just don't see it at the time!
Kegging it now instead, in the glorious 23°C sunshine.

Went to LHBS, picked up grain, hops and yeast for next brew next weekend.
Planted some EKG sprouts - Cascade is finally flourishing, hoping for good things from these 2 in a couple of years.

Cleaned and rebuilt 6 kegs, moved the Barley Wine from barrel to keg-added some Scotch to the barrel, moved the Hibiscus Wheat Saison into a keg with Guava puree as a priming sugar-added Gin to that barrel, made 6G of Pear-Agave Cider. Everything took longer than expected because, well, homebrewing and unexpected repairs/maintenace.

Did not keg the IPA because I really couldn't take any more surprises and extended tasks.

Yesterday I bottled my Dogfish Head 60 into 34 bottles. Now Carbonating for 2 weeks.

Kegged 2 German Lagers. 1 brewed 2/17 , the other 3/19, Happy to get them packaged.

Set up four carboys for soft-crashing, then made four of these:
