lets see your full Fermenters

That looks like it has potential to be a good kreusen bomb! Are those peaches in the fermenter? Watch that blowoff tube doesn't clog and go boom in the night...that would be some modern art for sure!

Yeah, it got a little crazy there for a while. It did blow some peaches out into the bucket quite forcefully. At week 6 I added the peaches and racked on top, sheesh you would have thought the peaches were napalm the way the wy3787 took off again!

Peaches & Cream Belgian Tripel.

I gotta know how this one turns out, let us know because it sounds delish. You have a recipe somewhere?

It's still going in secondary, it's been on the peaches for 3.5 weeks. So far, by 12/5 it will be 10 weeks total. I'm going to keg it Saturday.

Recipe is: 5 gallons Peaches & Cream Tripel

7lbs Belgian Pale
3lbs Belgian Pils
2lbs Vienna
1lb Carapils

Mash @ 152 for 60

2oz Styrian Goldings (60)
1 Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla bean, split scraped and cut added to the boil (15)
2.5lbs Wildflower Honey @ Flame Out
Pitch 1.5L starter of WY3787 ferment in the low 60's for 3 days then let it go where it will.
1lb Clear candi sugar boiled and desolved in 1C water. Add at High Krausen.

6lbs Peaches into Secondary, rack onto them and let sit. As you can see from the picture, a blow-off is highly recommended.

2 Madagascar Vanilla Beans split, scraped and cut into pieces added to your priming sugar and simmered. Add to bottling bucket or strain beans out when dumping into keg.

I will let you know as soon as I taste it.

Cheers

Pretty boring. Only a Cali. Common at the moment.

Can you explain your chamber a bit? Do you have a write up somewhere? Does your do heat and cool? I'm looking to build one soon and figured I'd ask.

Cheers!

Doc, not to hijack this thread, I will say that it is for cooling only so I can brew in the summer. I will do a write up on it in the next day or so and post it in the DIY section.

You'll have to keep us informed on that one. Sounds amazing!

And there will be more to add to this pic come Saturday!

Here's what I have going:




Ed Wort's Apfelwein on the left. A Cascade Rye IPA on the right.

Oh, and go Pats!

New brews from sat
Little Sumpin Clone
Boulevard Whet Clone
Spanish Cedar Smoked English Mild (Wd2048's brew)
Cintinial IPA (Wd2048's brew)

25 gallon lambic barrel pitched with Bugfarm VI. With blowoff action.

BELMA / Marris Otter SMaSH:

Figured I'd add mine to the list. Most of the clear carboys are all in experimental sours/wilds in their primary. Kegs are all "secondary"s, which will eventually go on draft. Barrels are both full, saison and a sour. All I wish for was a little more head space, ceiling is about 4" too low.

Oh.....My......God

So beautiful. Love the collection

vwbrewer, that redefines "man cave" in a good way! :rockin:

Small. Pale. Ale ( missed target og slightly) and rough waters stout, a new recipe.

Thanks folks. It's kind of an obsession, especially when it comes to small batch experimenting. Lots of time on craigslist, and well, lots of time. Stop by if you're ever in the area!

vwbrewer freakin sweet love the Barrel what is in it? And how many freaking kegs do you have it looks like you supply the LHBS with them.

Oops! The Cream Ale got a little excited.

Somewhere around 45 cornies... been collecting them for a while. Great for aging.
The barrel on the left is a Flemish Red. The barrel on the right is a French Saison. The rest are all misc sour and spontaneous fermentation experiments.

good thread!

This. So much this!

Well done. :slow clap:

Atonk, is that a giant styrofoam box? Where did you find that thing?

in the cellar we have some applewein, flanders, and some stout hanging out


http://www.flickr.com/photos/38306752@N05/8006804715/
looks like the fridge has enough room for two more 2.5gal kegs



this is my fermentation fridge - just racked this new flanders into some better bottles that will be moved to the cellar.

@ HelloSluggo - yes, it is. I removed one side for the photo. It also has a collar that's about 10" I don't have on there right now. I got it from my work; they have another one I'm thinking about taking, too.

Ipa in Primary.

Citra amarillo pale ale ready for take-off.....

10 gallons of a Citra Amarillo IPA also and 10 gallons of a English ale.

I'm taking you up on that when I get to take my dream New England beer vacation!

Two strains of Brett Brux and Trois in the middle. I'm going to be a bottle conditioning maniac next week.

Has anyone had this?

NO, but I have a bottle on hand right now. Haven't decided if I am going to drink it or hold onto it for a while and let it age?

This is my first batch, ever. Caribou Slobber sitting in a 6 gallon glass Carboy during primary fermentation. Hoping that it turns out alright! Crossing my fingers that the Metal Mulisha shirt does not create any off-flavors.
