Kegged an IPL. Tastes surprisingly good since I struggle with IPAs. Also cleaned and sanitized kegs. Left one with some star San and pressurized for whenever I need it next. Hopefully sooner rather than later

Thanks for doing this! G1

anyone else deal with this trying to do dishes? She’ll fall asleep sometimes.

Kegging amber lager. Shocked myself with how much I enjoyed the hydro sample and remembered it’s mostly Vienna, haha. Also mashing an IPL sorta beer to rack onto this yeast cake. Mostly just using up an old bag of callista hops.

It’s somewhere to start anyways. Especially if you felt the warm ferment was an improvement. There’s also nothing wrong with doing the warm ferments. I’ve been meaning to try one but my basement gets very cold in the late fall to early spring so I just take advantage of it. If you’re crashing...

I use a ton of 34/70 as well and haven’t had any issues. I will say that your D-rest is probably too late in the fermentation, though. Like @camonick I often let it ride mid 50s, but when I do decide to warm up for a rest, it’s before ten days. Fermentation normally takes off the next day for...

Ended up making that crust tonight. We enjoyed it, I used a little less cheese but next time I’d probably use the recommended amount. But for a first try, it’s a win. Never done a cold rise either so extra happy. Next time I think I’ll give the other linked recipe a try!

I had forgotten about this, but I had read about it quite awhile ago. I think everything still will get brewed, just shuttering the original brewery. Really sucks to see and makes me sad that I never took the opportunity to check the place out since its reasonably close.

Also a classic!

The boyhood dream comes true!

Good reminder on turning off the burner. I had forgotten about that

FWIW, I just kegged an ale that had sat in primary fermenter for 3 month on the yeast cake. Sampled beautifully. I normally do 3 weeks, but it just kept getting put on the back burner.

Welcome! I don't have a Vevor, but I have a brewers edge mash & boil. Same type of electric AIO concept. I've only done a few extract brews on it, but mainly you want to add the liquid extract very slowly. If you dump the entire jug in at once, its just going to immmediately sink to the...

Kegged an amber ale that has sat in my fermenter in the basement since October 4th. (yesterday) Brewing an amber lager that hopefully will see a keg sooner than that (today) Really hoping to get back into the swing of brewing in 2025. Ive missed it quite a bit but finding time and energy has...

Anyone have tips or a recipe for a deep dish crust baked in a cast iron pan?Found a few online but I find myself trusting you folks moreso than a random.

Leftovers pizza. Mustard sauce with ring sausage, onion, and peppers.

I’ve been pretty dormant on the forums in general but here’s tonight’s pizza. Homemade sauce, mozzarella, olive, kale, pepperoni.

Been a minute. Got outta my shift a little early. Usually I’d say morning beer with the tiger, but it might be a little too early morning to qualify. Either way…

Been awhile. Cats are good. If anyone out there has an otherwise healthy older cat that’s diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, I strongly encourage radioactive iodine therapy. It’s a tricksy ordeal to deal with, but the tiger is definitely still tiger-ing. Been a bit under two and a half years...
