Sat on my couch this morning, drinking coffee, and listened to the beautiful symphony that is coming from my blowoff tube.

And as I type this, I realized I could not type that sentence in any other forum without being blocked or arrested!

Brilliant! Almost spit out my beer!!

 

[BBL_Brewer]

I spent a coulple hours training hop bines and trimming back new recruits. Oh crap, I forgot to water.....guess I'll go do that.

 

[duckredbeard]

Bought a keg fridge. Used and needs some work. 2 faucets, 2 sanke couplers, regulator, empty 20# tank. $250.

We don't judge...all are welcome...just use brewing terms and we'll all say we do the same.

 

[Dunerunner]

Racked 14 gallons of IPA to keg and started forced carbing. Cleaned the conical and returned to storage.

 

[jerryteague]

Bottled 5 gallons of IPA. Getting ready to brew 5 gallons of Hefeweizen, and 5 gallons of amber ale tomorrow.

 

[user 103238]

Bottled 3 gallons (a bit short of the intended 5 gallons) of Dead Ringer aka Daddy's Angry IPA.

 

[browncoat]

I helped my neighbor brew his first beer tonight. Hopefully it turns out well

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Sampled a little bit of a 1 gal batch of my first sour. Coming along nicely. Nice and sour but not too over powering. Little bit more then bottle

 

[stikks]

Bottled 5 gal of Vanilla Cream Ale.

cheers

 

[user 103238]

Kicked my first keg last night. May it rest in peace.

 

[gotsumbeers]

I peeked in on my fermenting beer! And, I cleaned up a bit from last nights brewing session.

 

[davekippen]

First I hit up a garage sale and scored 4 cases of brewers bottles (no labels!) and 6 clean and delabeled bomber bottles, Oh, and one of those screw-on-to-the-faucet-bottle-washer-thingies, all for $25! I was stoked. Then I washed and delabeled 40 bottles that a buddy gave me yesterday DO'OH! Then I cleaned up the brew area while drinking a homebrew. I have enough bottles to last a loooong time

There's *never* enough. Just you wait.

 

[chuckstout]

I received and re-packaged 4lbs of hops, the house smelt wonderful!

 

[rossi46]

I took the new stand for a all water test drive.

That is the most beautiful thing I've seen. *shudder*

 

[Jsuds]

Cleaned out the keggerator, bought a temperature controller for a fermentation chamber. Got some brew supplies for the brew tomorrow. First batch in 95 degree Sacramento summer. Ice, check...

 

[dedhedjed]

Fourth 12-hour overnight brewing shift in a row... Sore as hell, but there's 200 bbls of IPA to show for my night's work.

Thank You!!! It has been a fun project, now I need to catch up on some brewing.

 

[duckredbeard]

Bought back a cornie that I sold to a neighbor who doesn't brew much anymore. It shall be put back into service TODAY!

 

[nattron]

Cleaned 3 kegs, keg lines and faucets. Filled one keg, bottled 4 gallons of barleywine.

 

[gallowjc]

Used 7 sanitized cold Labbatt Blue cans to cool down my wort.

Id be scared of the cans heating up and exploding, but if I works awesome.

Yeah you dont want to contaminate your homebrew with that Canadian Moose Pi$$!

Creative idea though!

Wasn't in the boiling water, was trying to get from the 90's to the 70's

 

[kman6234]

Fixed a keg that wouldn't hold pressure.

 

[punkrockdave]

Just went and purchased my keg and CO2 canister for my new keg fridge.

 

[Ingvaroo]

I used starsan for the first time to sanitize my bottles and bottling bucket, and put my BetterBrew Northern Brown Ale (LME, No sugar) on bottles, my last KIT beer!

Then i took a sample of my first AG wheat beer, it reached 1.010 after only 2 days fermenting, but it has been sitting now for a week, i would bottle but i need bottles!

I wanted to get a pipeline going, but now it has come down to me not having bottles to use xD Wich is good ofcourse, i have 6 cases (24x500ml in each case) + 3x2L bottles of beer sitting around now conditioning and carbonating

 

[Rabid_Wombat]

I brewed my Cascade Pale Ale mini mash kit.

This isn't my first mini-mash kit, but I didn't hit my numbers right on because I'm pretty sure I didn't sparge correctly. My strainer was a bit small for the 4 lbs of grain. I should have let the bag just sit in the sparge water once I figured that out, but I was in a bit of a hurry. Also, a small spill of the wort wasn't the greatest thing either, but I didn't lose that much.

All I have to do is pray I didn't infect my batch when I stirred in my top off water with an unsanitized spoon. I rinsed the spoon and wiped it off with a dishrag. I was giving the wort a good stir in the ice bath when I realized I forgot to hit it with the Star San. Then I realized my error, and I was already at 80 degrees. Oops.

It'll be beer. How good of a beer is unknown.

 

[chuckholding]

Racking to secondary and dry hopping a white ipa

 

[blkandrust]

Made a starter using wyeast 1214 for my Belgian in the morning. Third time using my stir plate. Love that thing!

 

[NineMilBill]

Backsweetened my Skeeter Pee and racked a Cranberry Wine to secondary. Also busted my head on the corner of my cabinet.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Built my collar for the keezer. Used 2x8 for the collar, with 1/2" x 10" red oak as a face for the collar. Stained with some nice dark stain.

Ha. I just saw this tweet while browsing the homebrew hashtag. Looks good.

 

[ArtimusBeerimus]

Spent some time running some new twine between the cables on my hops trellis as the growth this year has been outstanding and a few of my nines were doubling up on themselves. Looking for a great harvest... #crossingfingers
