Looks like a carboy porter to me

6 gallons of golden brett on the bottom, brewed yesterday and already blowing off. Just pitched 6 gallons of sour quad on top, plus some yeast starters. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1433105209.938982.jpg

From back middle going clock wise: 3gallons parti gyle sour stout, 5 gallons RIS, 6 gallons golden brett, 6.5 gallons brett tripel, 5 gallons sour quad, and 5 gallons of a bad tasting lambic I'm trying to save. Also have some gallon sours, plus a kriek that is not pictured. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1434119987.718079.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1434120000.633564.jpg

Imperial saison I brewed today

View attachment 1434315989767.jpg

This was the last batch I brewed, many moons ago, an extract Cream Ale kit from my LHBS. Like a complete doofus, I didn't put a blow off hose on as I normally would, and 24 hours after I pitched my yeast, I had a vigorous head of foam coming out of the airlock.

Starting bottom left, going clockwise: DogFish Head 120min clone (all grain), Blue Moon Clone (extract), Belgium Pale Ale (all grain), EdWort's Apfelwein, Winexpert Eclipse Lodi Ranch 11 Cabernet Sauvignon primary fermentation. The three beers are now in corny kegs and the Cabernet is in a glass carboy for secondary fermentation. The waiting is truly the hardest part

I don't use blowoff tubes so the plastic sheeting taped to the walls makes for easy cleanup if I get a gusher.

@ NJBrews Dexter, is that a kill room?

Ha! It does look suspicious.

After scrubbing wort out of that industrial carpet one time I learned my lesson. I'll probably switch to blow-off tubes when I start doing 5.5 gallon batches to get a full 5 gallons in my corney kegs.

Fifteen gallons of love for our upcoming Hop Yard Social!

On the left is Switchback Cream Ale. The two on the right are Big Rail Blonde Ale. In front you can see the right airlock smutted up and that's why both Blondes get a blow-off tube.

Alpine Nelson Clone in the 7 Gal Chronical and my first ever Spruce beer (Amber - Rye w/ the spruce addition pictures) in the better bottle.

I am loving my True Fermentation fridges. Took a year of monitoring craigslist to find them, but I love to stare at my Chronicals....Very Zen.

12 Gallons of Pliny the Elder Clone in my 14 Gallon Chronical and the other True GDM 12 chamber I set up.

The sight glass makes yeast harvesting and trub removal a breeze.

Also pictures is the insane pile of hops left in the kettle. Gotta love scrubbing out the hopshot residue too.......

A second attempt at a Cream Ale.
Two Kids Cream Ale.

This is an imperial Porter (OG 1.113) that's going to eventually make its way into a rye whiskey barrel. I've never had a krausen that big on a beer.

Is that your temp probe in large bubble wrap, taped to fermentor?

I'm close to converting a deep freeze, and I like your "closer to fermentor temp" approach compared to just having probe reading the cold air.

not my post but that is their temp probe taped to the fermenter.

IPA with Citra, Amarillo, Cascade and some schezuan peppercorns I brewed up on Saturday.



I gotta get a new picture as now there is 5.5 gallons of Centennial Blonde I brewed on Sunday sitting right next to it.

What they said ^

It's right on track with what the fermometer reads every time, so it's fairly accurate. During active fermentation the inside temp of the beer might be a degree or so higher, but it's good enough for me.

My first brew in my fermentation chamber as well as my first brew in over 6 months. Getting excited to see how the Bit R Done comes out. So far everything has gone remarkably well.

Not the best picture b/c it's from a distance. But this is my new fast ferment system that I mounted the other day. I brewed an IPA (early yesterday morning) recipe I found called Hoppin' IPA but with a little twist based on the ingredients the LHBS had available.

IPA on the left, Centennial Blonde on the right.



Should be finishing up in the next day or so, then dry hops for the IPA and a Diacetyl rest for both, hopefully in bottles next weekend.

From left to right:

-Split batch of rye saison (the fermentors with towels wrapped around them), one with wy3711 and one with wlp644, to blend.
-Belgian wit with wlp410
-IIPA with Equinox, El Dorado, Lemon Drop
-Honey blonde with Wai-Iti hops
-Wild red ale (glass carboy on the wire rack), only a couple weeks old atm

Lots of fermenting going on here

What double port stopper are you using there in you BmB?

Whichever one BrewsbySmith sent in the STC-1000 Fermentation kit. Looks like it's a normal stopper with a smaller hole drilled out for the thermowell. But I'm not an engineer.

Trying out my first real post here on HBT. First photo is a Belgian Pale Ale about to come out of primary. Second photo is a hard apple cider in secondary with fresh diced apple chunks.

3 gallons of Red IPA brewed yesterday.
