When I grow up yeast for a batch, I generally will make up new. The canning process does produce break in the jar that I don’t care for. It’s my easy backup to keep everything going. I’m not into freezing and wondering and leaving anything to chance. To each their own, just how I personally roll.

I pressure can 18 quarts at a time. I only use that wort when I don’t have time to brew. I take my saved yeasts that I can’t get, and make a small starter. It keeps it active and healthy for when I do brew.

Canned Cowboy Candy and finished with the best Imp Stout/brew I’ve ever made. Scored 43 in a comp and took silver. 😳 What’s a dude have to do?

You really do s*^k! 🤣

Last picking here I believe. Tomatoes are all canned and very few greens are left. Peppers have been nuts this year. Green beans and peppers seem to be able to handle the drought. I watered early and got sick of it! I put the beans under shade cloth tunnels and it worked perfectly. Only issue...

I’ve made several versions of spiders. My last one is 10” in diameter (30x30 mesh?). It allowed the wort to boil up through it better. I use a CFC so I made it tall enough to drop into the kettle when I lid it. It’s tall enough to reach above my volume. Clean up is so much easier and I really...

One of my least favorites, just my opinion. I used it years ago and tossed it. Kind of like ringwood, hated them both.

I’ve brewed quite a few Belgians. IMO bottle conditioning is the only way to go. I’ve split my batches several times. I always prefer the conditioned portion. The keg just doesn’t develop the same way. I’ve saved many 750ml bottles and that’s what I use. I carb to 3+ volumes.

HB Kolsch, love this beer!

Has a melonish vibe, I like this one.

Yum

HB Kolsch while canning green beans. Last can run of 15q!! Glad they’re finished for the year.

I need one then

HB RIS…Absolutely delicious! Had to edit and add..Dangerous!

The never ending keg of 189 lager. Showing its age, but still damn good after a mow session.

I found that when I’m in a rut, stop going to the range. When my game is off, the range dooms me. My rhythm gets off and I start swinging too hard. I thought I’d play once a week this summer. I’ve played about 10 rounds. Still love the game even when I’m playing poorly.

I just put a submersible pump into a kid pool w ice water. Chill w tap, then switch it over. Works great and can knockout 20g pretty fast. I use a stainless CFC from Stout. I whirlpool in the kettle and leave as much break as possible behind. Works well for me anyway.

I brew Kolsch a lot! I do a 20g batch every spring and fall. I have a keg I’ve been sitting on since March. Hope it’s still decent. Mine is simple Any pils for me, my favorite is Best and can usually only find Avangard. I’m also not against North Star. I want to try Sugar Creek in the spring...

189 lager @ 6 months is starting to lose some ground. Kegs keeps giving 😳
