What I did for beer today

[FermentNEthinG]

Just whipped out a batch of the BYO Hill Farmstead "Everett" clone. Tasted pretty sexy going into the fermenter. Upped the bill to a 6 gallon batch and hit my numbers with a point or 2 to spare.

Checked the gravity on two beers, one in secondary and one in primary then assembled my new 10gal mash tun... The cooler and false bottom came in today and fittings on Saturday... Waiting on the tubing I forgot to order originally to come in later this week to finish up. Breaking it in Sunday with an IPA.

Just ordered a honey ale extract kit and all grain ingredients for my first all grain IPA attempt! A clone of two hearted ale... I can hardly wait!! Should arrive by 2/4/14.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Cleaned a bucket of bottles and then got another bucket's worth soaking. Peeked in on my lambic-style beer that has been slowly chugging since last Monday. All is good in the world

 

[geoffm33]

Bought a corny keg off CL for $50. Went to LHBS to buy some US05 to repitch tonight as well as some spare o-rings.

 

[fowlbrew2]

I made a rotary barrel composter for my hop yard.

 

[1fast636]

Ordered myself a blade scale finally and digital thermometer from an old sears gift card I found in my wallet. The blade scale is good for 2lbs pretty much the thermometer is the cheapest I could find to have no balance on the card lol 6 bucks hope it does the trick

got it all for 32 bucks shipped to my door

 

[nukebrewer]

Not today, but yesterday I mailed off a few brews to a competition I will be judging at next weekend. Anyone going to be at Homebrew Alley?

 

[Jette]

Tasted the first brew of the year. This is a light, clear, and refreshing honey lager.

The big batch of Mead is now quiet, the little JALM is bubbling quietly, the ESB is bubble furiously, the Honey Lager is going down easy.

 

[bstacy1974]

Gave a bomber to my boss, who's a professional brewer on nights and weekends, for feedback on my amber. I need some criticism before I enter my first competition this summer.

Looks like the same thermometer I use. Works pretty well. Got mine for like $2 on amazon, straight from china.

 

[CRoth36]

Not so much as why I did for beer today, but what I'm going to be doing for beer today. Here in about 45 minutes ill be headed to the local brew pub and drinking the new IPA that was tapped the other. Lookin forward to it. Got butterflies in my stomach.

 

[Jette]

Did you do an acid wash?

 

[Jette]

I got my Monster Mill 2 2.0 in the mail today

 

[DrunkleJon]

Finally starting my starter so I have a starter to start my brew this Saturday. I really need to start starting my starters earlier so that I can get a head start and not have to worry about starting my starters too late and feeling like I have an inadequate starter for the job.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Knowhatimean?

 

[Yrogerg1089]

Checked the gravity on my Kolsch and determined it was time to move it to the fridge to begin the cold crashing.

I have found that starting my starters the night before brew day has yielded the best results. Pitching a starter at high kreusen, IMO, is the optimal time since the yeast are the most active and ready to ferment.

Kegged a kick ass brown ale fantastic

Kegged a kick ass brown ale fantastic

Whats the recipe??

 

[max384]

Kegged a hard cider.

I'm down to only a porter in primary. So, looks like this weekend I'll be brewing a Saison to get the pipeline filled up a bit more.

Being retired & tomorrow is the 1st,they had to pay me today. It's +34F today & about the same tomorow,so I'll be heading out for some good beers in a while when we go shopping/bill paying. Now if I could just work in some brewing stuff...

 

[Beernik]

Since the network locked me out today, I'll be racking two beers for lagering instead of telecommuting.

 

[bleme]

Sniffed an airlock. Sounded like a machine gun, even at 61F. Had to make sure it was OK...

 

[SmokeyMcBong]

hasn't happened yet but I'm about to head out and grab some glass carboys that i found on kijiji.

 

[unionrdr]

Got three different beers for a little later. A NW PA,& two different IPA's. Deschutes,New Belgium,& The Brew Kettle.

[Nightshade]

About to head to work at 5 and serve it to customers.

 

[Dmlsys23]

Am at Cleveland beerfest helping my LHBS owner. Good times!

 

[NTXBrauer]

I filled up a CO2 tank, and began cold crashing a Belgian Blond in preparation for kegging on Sunday.

 

[bigguns15]

Brewed a pale rye ale

 

[grizzly2378]

Bottled my 1 gal batch of Dead Ringer IPA. Ended up with 9 bottles worth. It tasted great going into the bottles, can't wait to try the finished product.

Also racked 5 gal of smoked brown ale to secondary. Again, the sample I pulled tasted great, subtle smoked flavor but not overpowering. Gonna let this one sit for another 3-4 weeks before bottling.

And now I have two empty fermenters. What next? A Pliney clone is on tap for the big one; not sure about the next 1 gal batch. Some sort of lighter wheat ale or saison, probably.
