What I did for beer today

[MaxStout]

I ferment in 6 gal. glass carboys. Yeah, I know the dangers. I just like glass. Anyway, I set them in my ferm chamber, a 5 cu. ft. chest freezer. It's a bear to lift those full carboys in and out, and my back just isn't what it used to be. I ordered a 1/4" ratchet pulley from Wilserbrewer. With a brewhauler around the carboy, I'll rig the pulley above the ferm chamber to hoist the carboy.

Pics when I get it all set up.

Kegged 10 gallons of a nice Munich Helles today!

 

[MaryB]

Kegged 11 gallons of a Chinook IPA(my own recipe) today. Low end of the IBU scale for me, I am not hop head! 42 IBU is all.

 

[govner1]

Weighed out grains for next brew day, inventoried grains on hand, ordered 3 bags of base grains (MO, Pale Ale, 2 row); changed out CO2 tank in kegerator, cleaned keg and lines

 

[seatazzz]

Pulled the PRV again on the keg I brought home from work yesterday, containing 2.5 gallons each of Lime & Strawberry blonde. Payment for kegging 100 gallons all by myself, this is what was leftover. Should be good to go by tomorrow.

 

[HopGobbler]

Made a tropical fruit mead, and ordered some more beer ingredients this past weekend.

 

[GolFisHunt]

Built an immersion chiller, refilled a CO2 tank, acquired a larger CO2 tank, and checked the fermentation of the current batch.

 

[Transamguy77]

Dry hopped a IIPA, switched a co2 tank and checked on the holiday beer I brewed on Sunday.

 

[Murphys_Law]

Tinkered with beer “stuff”

 

[MaryB]

Checked my house ale FG, ready to keg in just 5 days! Love that recipe! I do build up a starter so it ferments a lot faster.

 

[Gixxer]

Bottled and corked a cranberry Christmas ale. The rest were capped.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Washed and sanitized bottles and bottling bucket including disassembling the spigot. Oh, and hung another third place ribbon for my Dunkelweizen

 

[kal]

Yearly pump lubrication! (Here's how)

[GolFisHunt]

Put the hop farm (8 plants) to bed for the winter. Ordered a new HLT/BK. Visited my LHBS to pick up parts for a cooler mash tun and malt for my first BIAB batch.

 

[brewbama]

Brewed beer

 

[fourfarthing]

Kegged a Nelson APA.

 

[seatazzz]

Brewed a batch of House IPA (waiting for boil now) and came up with yet ANOTHER excuse not to keg my oatmeal stout that's been sitting in the carboy for 3 weeks....I'm too tired and don't wanna clean a keg. Hopefully will get to it tomorrow. Just took a peek at it, nothing amiss.

 

[Murphys_Law]

Kegged an ale I brewed for the first time using a lot of cascade.

Put a peg board in my brew closet so I can better organize my hoses, etc.

 

[MaryB]

Got starter going for tomorrow's brew day.

And discovered I need to make more starter... used my last 2 concentrated pints...

 

[BudgetBrewer]

Cleaned 4 kegs, xfered a 10 gal batch of SNPA to kegs to crash out. Cleaned 2 14 gal fermenters ready for next weekend. Enjoying a new to me Creemore Springs Octoberfest beer. Bagged leaves n cut grass so i can be free next weekend lol.

Made a batch of Bohemian Pilsner and tapped a keg of Fat Dog Porter

 

[kal]

Tweaked my Electric Hop Candy Jr recipe for even more juicy hop goodness! Or more correctly, after two weeks of it being kegged, based on my own tasting and feedback from others, I decided the results are more to my liking so the recipe's been permanently changed now. This is the beer I've been looking for!

[Master]

Nice. I've been meaning to try that one. Been distracted with job changes.

 

[Murphys_Law]

I think today is a, “what did beer do for me” kinda day! [emoji1]

 

[MaryB]

Moved my starter to the pantry to sit another 24 hours... had no water pressure today so couldn't brew. Pantry is 64 degrees so it will slow it down.

Saturday was do-a-good-turn day for homebrew. I helped my homebrew club with its first public competition as a steward. Having entered a few competitions before, it was cool to see it from the judges perspective. Also helped out a few homebrew customers at the shop with their brewing quandaries.

 

[BikerMatt]

Been studying the prospect of using maple syrup in a beer. Turns out maple beer is indeed a thing. Never heard of it before. Gonna have to try it next time I'm brewing, should be interesting.

 

[fourfarthing]

Brewed an old ale for the winter and pulled my first ever pint from my new homebrew keg.

 

[Zekk]

Pitched some 05 and clarity ferm into the pumpkin ale I brewed yesterday. Now to look up good lager recipes for winter

 

[kal]

Visited the newest homebrew shop in town! (only been open 3 weeks)

[MaryB]

Brewed 11 gallons of my house ale! Trying to have all 10 kegs full going into December.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Primed and bottled 3 gallons of "golden nugget" ale sample was pretty good.

 

[GolFisHunt]

Cold crashing 5 gal of Caribou Slobber. Installed rope hoist for the BIAB set up. Organized the growing mound of brewing paraphernalia.

 

[BrewZer]

Brewed a 5.5 gallon batch of Weizenheimer hefe-weizen.

Bought me some hops today from HopsDirect!

Belma
El Dorado
Cascade

I have been intrigued by pairing Belma and El Dorado into a strawberry/watermelon IPA

Cascade because I want to do some old school pale ale.

 

[fourfarthing]

Bought yet more kegging supplies. #thehobbythatspends

 

[BikerMatt]

Tuned my bottling wand, the tip was too long so I had to keep it lifted from the bottom of the bottle for optimal flow, cut a small piece off and filed it straight. If someone knows of a bottling wand that fully closes when lifted up (spring operated maybe) feel free to throw me a link.

 

[kal]

Measured out my water additions for brewing Electric Hop Candy Jr tomorrow. (Water adjustment is critical to this New England style Pale Ale. Check out my step by step guide).
