Help Support Homebrew Talk - Beer, Wine, Mead, & Cider Brewing Discussion Forum:
Went to our LHBS which is closing their doors for good. Got to say my goodbyes and chat for a while, also got more disconnects for my pumps, some yeast, and brewing salts. Going to suck seeing them go. Walked in a little over a year ago with absolutely no knowledge of brewing, now I've got a great AG setup and brew some pretty good beers. Cheers to Larry's Brew Supply, you will be missed!!!
Dough in for my Presidential 
cherry stout.

At least you have some bath toys to play with while you let them soak.

Put a bag of Rahr Pilsner & a bag of Weyermann Bohemian Dark in buckets for transport to my storage unit.
Cleaned up around my brewery(garage) and planned out my next few brews.

Bottled two separate gallons of beer left over from the last two brews. Cleaned some wine bottles (for a mead) and cleaned a fermentor from the last brew I kegged the other day.

Brewed 11 gallons of my house ale. Not a fun day, I am fighting a pinched nerve in my back.
Labeled a few sampler bottles to be taken to the neighbor tomorrow for scrutiny. Still debating should I resist temptation till next wednesday as I originally planned (my BD) or give in and pop a few this weekend

What's the QR code link to?
Took friday off, too tired and stressed. Probly gonna spend most of the three day weekend at the garage sorting stuff out and finding storage places for all my brewing gear. Pity I can't brew right now as all my bottles are currently either full or earmarked to be filled. Speaking of, bought two bags of PET caps for the IPA which will be bottled this weekend if it would finally stop fermenting!!
Can't resist, two Foxys currently cooling in the garage fridge Tasting night tonight!

Put the cherry in the cherry stout... Yeast are happy again.
Brewing a small batch SMaSH with Maris Otter and Opal.
Bottled a one gallon experimental brew... Pitched a small amount of dregs from bottle conditioned beer into leftover sparge with DME and maple syrup to raise the gravity to 1.035. I know it's really no big deal, but it's the first time I used dregs and the result is drinkable. I also have a more ample yeast sample in the fridge now.
Racked my Monster Brew Porter to the secondary and for the first time I am trying BioFine Clear to fine the beer.
IPA bottled, did a gelatin + ice bath cold crash to clear it, came out crystal clear. Way better than I expected.
Worked on the kegerator. Had to build some stabilization for the back kegs. Wasn't confident they would just sit on the back hump. With that ready for testing, I need to work on the gas hose system. Hopefully can get that done this week, plus a brew day.

Cut off some corny keg gas tubes and cleaned a few kegs. Getting ready to brew again after a year and a half (or so) hiatus.

I dry hopped my clone of Two Hearted ale with 2oz of centennial. Just poured them straight in the primary, sans hop sock.

Dropped the Streetfighter ale fermenter into a cement trough in a snow/water bath to cold crash, bottling this weekend so hoping to clear it a bit

Began assembling my new brew kettle setup after receiving all but two fittings in the mail. Hoping to have my test run on Sunday.

Checked my wee heavy that I wanted to bottle this weekend. Dizzamn if there isn't the start of a pellicle on about 15% of the surface area!!
Don't quite know how to address this issue, but I know I don't want a sour wee heavy.
Grumble grumble grumble...

Homebrew marathon today. First thing in the morning I brewed a bitter. After cleaning and lunch I kegged a maibock. Then cut a piece for the kegerator and worked in the hop yard. Now having a homebrew. Might do it all again next week.

I drank beer...and bottled 5 gallons of my Gizzy Face APA.
Got my last fittings in, so I was able to leak test my new eBIAB build! And it failed in several spots, woo! Hoping to have everything buttoned up for an inaugural brew this weekend.

Moved this back into my pantry, ever try to get a 30" wide fridge through a 30" wide door? Had to remove the ice maker solenoid because it stuck out, and a couple bolts because the heads were catching. Drilled the door and got the faucets mounted. Waiting on some parts to come in so I can plumb things but getting close to kegging! Drilled for 3 faucets, will order 1 more next month. Need to clean it up(it had been in my front porch and got mud splattered and dirty this winter) and then maybe paint it... has a little rust starting here and there.
