Maryland Fall Brew Day 2008 - 10/11/2008

Took about 10 seconds to get that bung onto the new racking cane. Cooool on the keggerator!

Who is excited?

me? and 10 secs is a loooooooong time!

I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the thread

oh, well screw you then!

heh...I thought you were going to say Bi-Male BoyFriend
I was confused as to how getting jiggy there would help bring beer, but hey - to each his own

I use the term jiggy in a much broader sense than you by the looks of things.

I might have a wort chiller...if i finish it tonight

you should see my ghetto bottle filler - I don't even use the bung. just a broken cane in my cobra tap!!

oh wait, you WILL see my ghetto bottle rig.

ill brig my CFC....

got CFC mashtun nonworking grain crusher (wanna figure it out) bruner carboy 2 propane tanks airlock....

w00t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's BREWDAY

I got home and took another nap, lol

I do feel like a million bucks now though, took a shower, and found I have a sandal tan on my feet

took a nap and woke up at 12 am......

thats what happens when you pass out at 3!

For those of you that wanted to use Paypal to pay for your batches:

$30/batch to (jezter6) @ gmail (dot) com

Any pics for those that missed out on the fun??

Ugh.

Took me three (3) hours to get home last night. Major snafu on 95S, stuck there for almost 2 hrs. Had to pull a u-eee on the highway and head for 29S. Got home at 9.45 after leaving at 7.00 pm.

Great meeting you all. Fermenters smell great

I don't think we had pictures, but you did miss one of the crew passed out drunk after taking on the "kill the keg" Apfelwine style.

Checked my fermenters last night:

The US-05 batch was quietly bubbling.
The Wyeast London Ale had puked into the airlock and needed to be replaced, however the main krausen was still WELL below the airlock - don't know if it went up fast and came down or was just a really large burp that tossed a bit into the airlock.

Can't wait to get this thing into a keg. Minimal secondary for me on this one.

Just gotta make some room in the freezer - who's up for playing a game of Kill the Keg of Alt???

I still need to get yeast LOL never made it to toms. thank god it is in a keg.....no light & air tight LOL
The reason that their was no pictures.....Their were no women. to take them LOL

Someone left a packet of US-05 in the garage...you could have probably used that.

Added a poll for brewday 3.0 - let's get started on planning people!!!

Mine was bubbling strong enough last night that I wondered what the hell the noise was in the basement. Did anyone ever bother to take an OG reading?

I know we took a pre-boil reading in one kettle and then threw some water in. Eh..measuring is overrated anywa.y

a brew day reading????????????????????? um... NO!

Wait...you're telling me we should have stayed sober enough to figure out gravity readings and such??


Weak sause!

their was a OG reading on the first batch...but not the second....

well, it's now my birthday.....

SWMBO came back, the Giants lost to the Browns, and I find out if I have a job in less than 16 hours....damn it feels good to be a gangstar.....plus, I had birthday sex for the first time in 27 years! Someone missed the homebrew....only if she was around last weekend, I could have taken home a carboy of porter, oh well.

Planning for the next brew day....I can host at my house since I have a big garage, and I'll have more fun toys to actually brew big batches correctly with...and those yankee ingenuity folks think they have it figured out

Just thought I'd shoot 98EXL a quick congratulations on the sudden reversal of fortune!

Bah. Now we have nothing to make fun of him about.

Except for his being the MD Brewday *****!

thanks....just took my piss test, interview in 113 minutes and counting

Man, I got some hilarious BDay cards today in the mail, lol

Ok - how's everyone's beer doing??
Mine was going strong for the first few days, then I just let it sit. I haven't looked since ~Wednesday.

I'm going pretty much right in the keg with this one, so I doubt I'm going to secondary.

Anyone else?

I;m bouncing to seconday on wensday. what eveyone using for priming

mine is sitting on the floor. looking like beer.

Damn. Sorry i missed this. I really wanted to make it. I just ordered all my AG equipment this past weekend and am looking to brew maybe two batches in about two weeks. Anyone in the Waldorf/Andrews AFB area want to help me figure out AG and Beersmith?

san antinoi? isnt waldorf!

I'm going to leave the unadulterated porter in the primary for another 2 weeks or so. Then I'll keg it. I tasted this the middle of last week and it was waaaaay chocolatey and had lots of coffee flavors in it. Tasted great.

The chocolate-enhanced porter I will probably bottle about the same time. That will depend on how the choc flavors are coming through.

i was gonna rack it to secondary last night but, my bottles (taking cider out of seconday) had dead crieckets in them.

um.... extra flavor?
