-Jason

 

Post whorin' here,

Labels added !!!!

 

Labels are awesome!!!!!!!!

 

first hop addition



Boiling away



Drinks for the Brewday

 

Woah! That's quite the boat-load you've got lined up there. Tell me you've already gone through Samiklaus, Ol' Foghorn, Ruination, and a Double Bastid!

 

oh yeah the open ones are dead

 

I 've been eyeing the samiclaus clone in the BYO 150 great clone recipes book...

But you need to boil down from 15 gallons to 5 over 5 hours to brew it correctly...

WOW!

 

Wort cooling !!! I Love brewing in the winter !!!!




offering to Brewing GODS for the success of the next batch !!!

 

finished up and in the fermenter!!!!




Starting on the second batch !
steeping away @ 154 deg

 

Cheeto,
Unless thats a 8 or 9 gal carboy, arent you a few gallons short?

 

ZAC, these are 3 gallon batches so SWMBO can move them while I am gone



First hop addition of the second batch

 

You are one smart cookie making it easier on the lovely lady!!!

Is that a STONE arrogant bastard bottle I see?

 

Lovely lady? Need picorial proof there revvy...

 

look up my posts

 

dang, no linky...

 

search my friend search !!


you want to see it you must earn it !!

 

I found one in your gallery. Have I found the light?

 

zac try My Gallery

 

the lovely lady

 

for those that are wondering !!!!


-Jason

 

ugh oghm better edit... thats somewhere it shouldt be!

 

ahh, gotcha, nevermind last post

 

On a purely frined level I like Cheet's family pictures...I'm glad my friends are happy!!!!!

And zac as well...

I'm jealous....but happy for you both!!!

 

sorry about getting off topic

back to the beer

adding more hops to the IIPA



and even more



a look inside the kettle




and they are done fermenting away in the back room




if anything cool or crazy happens I will post more pictures

-Jason

 

as a side note to all of this , I don't recommend drinking that many "big" beer on a brew day, by about 9:00 pm I was way too drunk to pay attention to much of anything

My Brother-in-law who was helping yesterday had to leave after the first brew was in the carboy, I think I have a new brewer to get signed up to the forum.



-Jason (a bit hungover)

 

a few weeks ago SWMBO transfered the brews in to secondary carboys and them complained about the mess that was left for her to clean up

 

man, that's a nice amount of hops you are working with.

 

than on sunday she took a few pics to show off the progress and to taunt me with beer porn !

Chinook Invasion



Simcoe IIPA

 

Cheeto, if you ever need an assistant brewer let me know! I'd love to meet up and swap some homebrews (when I get a decent arsenal of brews that is)

 

I will !

I should be brewing most of Aug and Sept this year

-Jason

 

I can appreciate the ABV and IBU values for the Chinook Invasion, the 7.62x51 is a lovely round isn't it?

 

nice work, i might have to downgrade to extract brewing soon too because of apartment living

 

so after all is said and done this wonderful beer falls victim to an weird puffy brown mass that grows in the bottles as well

SWMBO bottled one of the batches tthe other night and she said it had something that looked like Krausen.

I said email me a few pictures





This is what i get for pictures
so I tell her that she needs push through the mass with a sterile spoon then insert the racking cane

well a about a week later the bottles are full of this mass and SWMBO is freaked and throws all the bottles out.

Can't really be upset at her she is just protecting herself and the kids



-Jason

 

So here I have another full carboy with this stuff growing in it,

I am looking for a few ideas as to what this is.

Here are the remaining pictures





These along with the one from the last post I hope that is enough to help


Thank you

-Jason

 

That's some scary looking stuff you got there...my condolences for your loss.

 

Initial vote is for

brettanomyces, what strain I do not know

SWMBO has been know to drink Lambics,
the picture is not so fuzzy anymore,

any other ideas

here is the recipe of that beer

 

its hard to say there are just to many variables. oxyclean the crap out of those carboys and rinse well and sanitize with star-san. oxyclean is the only good way to clean a carboy or a corny keg. some people round here might want the sour beer though. i do not care for lambics.

 

Dude. what the hell???????

Did you forget how to sanitize while you were in Iraq? you have a major vector of infection going on....shoot....and you're not gonna be home for awhile right?

I wish I lived closer and could go over there and take a look, and nuke it all for you...
