What I did for beer today

[thisoneguy]

First round of dry hops on my DFH 90 Minute clone. :rockin:

 

[wSelwyn]

Talked to a friend from work today about brewing. Going to take him to the LHBS to get supplies for his first batch. I love bringing converts to our side

 

[Xtant]

Unpacked four ball lock kegs and a 20lb CO2 tank that arrived from Kegcowboy, today.

 

[captianoats]

Pulled 4 glasses out of The keg I plan on filling up next

Ha the things we sacrifice for our beer. Wife and I are on the 4th pitcher of a Vienna lager, trying to make room for the next keg....

 

[Xtant]

I guess I could've taken that approach, but instead I just ordered four more kegs...lol

 

[pm5k00]

Steped up my starter, and made 2lbs of belgian candi syrup for a dubbel I am brewing on monday.

Good plan. We selectively forgot about the 3 empty keg in the basement....

 

[BrewinHooligan]

Went to the LHBS and picked up everything I need to brew a CA Common. Have the starter going now and waiting to see how quick it is going to finish off to decide if I brew this weekend or next.

i pooped in the toilet

 

[Dawnhulio]

Checked on my planted rhizomes for signs of growth. Alas none that is visible, practicing patience for the time being.

First year?

 

[bob1852]

Kegged a red ale, bottled a gallon of wine, made six gallons of wine.

 

[dpatrickv]

Last night I bottled my floor malted Maris otter malt/simcoe smash.

 

[wSelwyn]

Placed a keg kettle (single weld) on hold for pick up next week at Adventures in Homebrewing. Can't wait to have a large enough kettle to call my own!

 

[BrewChem]

Just mashed-in a chocolate stout...!

 

[davekippen]

Just made my first batch of hard cider

Just broke my first hydrometer

 

[Robin0782]

I bought some grain and a mash paddle today.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Drinking a Wee Heavy, watching the Caps/Rangers game, and after the game I'm brewing a saison.

Good luck with that

C-A-P-S! I missed the first 38 minutes at my own coed baby shower. Caught Chimmer's goal, though.

 

[phenry]

Bottled a Tripel that I brewed on 1/14, racked a Quad over to secondary after a month in primary.

And not much doing for beer related, more beer doing s*@# for me related, but got a few pints of Schlafly's AIPA on tap today as well. Should be a good summer

 

[thetragichero]

bought an immersion chiller, airstone and aquarium pump, 15lb propane cylinder, 15lbs of grain, timer for hop additions
now i'm boiling water in my two aluminum kettles to get a good oxide layer before tomorrow's epic brewday (partigyle english barleywine/esb)

 

[mccumath]

Looked at my PacMan starter for my Russian Imperial Stout that I am brewing next weekend. Next weekend is going to be a good week for beer for me!

 

[ClayHenry]

Dry hopped my IPA and ordered two pounds of hops (Simcoe, Centennial, Columbus, and Amarillo) and a refractometer.

 

[FISHoutofWATER]

Bottled and labeled a hefeweizen today. Drank one of my double IPA's and cleaned brew equipment.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Brewed a mild while trying my black ipa needs a little tweak but happy with it.

 

[Channel66]

Bottled 3, 5 gal batches. 1 IPA, 1 tripel, 1 whiskey stout and tapped a keg of IIPA. Filled out the forms to enter a local contest, checked the sg of my saison, and my dubbel. Considering slowing down on the brewing for a month or 2, starting to run out of taps, kegs, and space for bottles. Productive day off though.

 

[thetragichero]

in the middle of a english barleywine/esb partigyle epic brew day
even with the 90 minute mash and 4 hours of total boil time, this will only be about an hour or two longer than my stovetop all grain 3g bathches thanks to the additions of a turkey fryer and immersion chiller
glad to give my new setup a test run before a coworker joins me next saturday.... although i'm running out of bottles!

 

[bniesen]

checked my 10 gallon batch of Cream Ale that I split between 2 carboys. One carboy blew the airlock clean off the top of the carboy while the other carboy has only about an inch of krausen. I replaced both carboy's airlocks with blow-off tubes.

 

[snccoulter]

I kegged a 1.05 ABV summer beer. I am not to concerned if it is good it was a second runnings beer with left over hops and yeast. If it is good great if not oh well.

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

Converted my best friend from a beer drinker to a soon to be brewer!! Gave him a list of gear he's ordering tonight and my copy of Extreme Brewing.

 

[SoxFan33]

I read another chapter of Tasting Beer by Randy Mosher, its a very good book so far, lots of great information. I also tweaked a recipe I've been working on for a German Pilsner

Thats actually a little interesting, hows it tasting now?

 

[SeanMcClellan]

Bottled my first homebrew! (NBs Cream Ale extract kit that was brewed on 4/9). Also, didn't hate the cleaning/sanitizing of the bottles (yet?).

I will let you know when it is carbed and served. I am debating as to what keg to set aside for a few to force carb the 1.05 beer.

 

[MaynardX]

Found that one of my old watering holes (Firewaters rt 1) went back from a 50 tap BMC to a 50 tap micro brew! Thank you new bar manager!

 

[nrock74]

Bottled my RyePA & racked my latest Hopslam clone onto 3 oz of Simcoe hops.

 

[scubakevdm]

I am deeply involved in the ongoing process of evaluating beers I have made, as well as commercial examples in order to further my brewing.

 

[Channel66]

Bulk purchased some pale 2 row and some pilsner with my BIL. looking at making 10 gal of orval clone because I have some wyeast 5526 brett strain just laying around begging to be used. If anyone has a good recipe to pass along I wouldnt say no.
