Ok...half-watching Grammys and working on a label for a HB I will be bottling soon, so I'm going to have one more beer tonight: an English style Strong Ale from Fortnight Brewing Company's very first public release. So...what do ya'll think about my label?

bottled in October, we'll see if it's worth picking up a couple more to age.

 

Had that for the first time on Fri night and dear lord baby jeebus! Ridiculously good...

 

Agreed

 

coffee. roads closed here. looks like work's gonna have to wait.

 

Coff.

Brew day.

 

Airport coffee, on the plane. Overslept a bit and now my whole effing routine is off. Stressful weekend and another stressful week coming up, then moving on Saturday. Breathe...

 

Coffee. Monday. Blech.

 

Dunkin coffee, black and with a turbo shot

 

IHOP coffee. But someone else is cooking breakfast for me, so it's okay.

 

Coffee. Wish I was home still. No sign of the purported offer letter that should have come last week. My direct reports have gotten theirs. :x

 

coffee.... coffee.... coffee

 

more coffee while waiting for the roads to open or work to call in closed.

 

Another cup of Coff.

Mashing is set to begin very soon. It's 30F here which is a lot warmer than it's been lately. Perfect day to brew.

 

Wish I was doing the same. Couldn't make it to lhbs in time on Saturday. And they are closed Sunday and Monday. .drinking water

Having a Coff. Homebrew Coffee stout.

 

It's all downhill from here.

 

The one in Topeka is open seven days a week from 11-7. Their selection isnt great, but they have most things you would be looking for.

 

I hope it all works out for you.

Hey, it's nice. Where would you cut them? I like the little white inner bevels so I assume the cut lines are outside of that?

Coffee, the coke, now water.

 

My Conan warrior PA

Boil is about to get underway.

 

On the coffee. Time to change to water according my acid reflux

 

Nightcap. Psych. Another Conan-Warrior.




I am mid-way through my 75-minute boil for my newest IPA. It's coming in at just over 100 IBU.

 

Looks like you need a bigger BK.

 

I do. But I'm not about to drop $300 for one. I also need a new pistol but some things just have to wait.

I wish I could brew beer every day of my floccing life.

 

build a keggle, cheap and easy :rockin:

 

I was going to make the same type of comment. And being that full still halfway through a boil is impressive.

 

Smacked.



Who's coming through for the next brew day?

 

I wouldn't pay 300 either. Who the flocc pays 300 for a BK?
I use a keg from the scrap yard that I cut the top out of. 15.5 gallon BK for way less than $300.

 

Agreed. The 15gal pots on the breweries pilot system were that much, but they are clad bottom, have tri-clap everything, false bottoms, large dial thermometers etc. We only went crazy like that because we need durability and repeatability. I actually prefer using a keggle over the pots we are using.

 

That's great. And if I could, I would. Til then, I have bigger problems like "how the flocc do I carry a full 5-gallon kettle full of wort to the basement to get chilled? I'm gonna fall.

 

You can't use your immersion chiller in the garage? Chill, siphon into FV. Once yeast is pitched and FV is sealed up, carry down to basement, drink a beer, then find a 1/2bbl keg to turn into a BK. Boom! You're welcome.

 

I'm jealous of your problems today

I was thinking about building a conical.. pretty much adding sheet metal to a full sized keg and turning it upside down :rockin:

There is a thread on here somewhere about someone who did that.
