    What I did for beer today

    Brewed a 1.2 g extract batch of honey ESB. Trying a new to me yeast, looked like pudding when I opened the package... well within the 5 month advertised date. 1.045og I've had the ground mini mash grains for almost 2 yrs, forgot about them in the bottom of a bin. May taste stale but didn't smell...

    Guide to set internal chest freezer thermostat to >32F; Eliminate external control

    I have the same model GE as these two posts so I know it should work but could not get the freezer above 28 with the adjustment screw. Ended up going back to a temp controller. But then I thought on it for a month or so and wonder, does the thermostat need to be reinstalled or at least level...

    What I did for beer today

    3/15, cancelled church so I mashed 10g cream ale. Had some stalled and over sweet corn wine in the basement so I used a gallon of that at the very end of the boil to pasteurize and kill the wine yeast without boiling off all the alcohol. Half of the batch got boiled Sunday 3/16 Pitched with...

    Scotch Ale x2 Homebrew on the left. Tiny bit less than 12oz to leave the yeast behind. Dark horse had much finer bubbles but the head on mine lasted much longer.

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Truthfully, I'm not really sure? Carbonation = dry and crisp, I'd agree but I didn't want it to be overly so. Extra carbonation, afaik, increases perception of body but also thins the beer further. The "sample" I had at bottling already tasted a bit thin, partly because I used mostly the second...

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Ok, bottled up a case last night and the rest went to a smaller carboy for souring. Mine finished at 1004, really quite dry for a blond ale. I aimed a little lower on the carbonation to hopefully compensate. 3 weeks or so I'll let you know how it turns out.

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    I finally did this albeit bit different. I used this grain bill billed up for a Belgian blonde/ centennial blonde partigyle. 5gallins plus some sugar for the Belgian blonde, 8 gallons of centennial blonde wort w only the bittering addition fwh. Of that 8 gallons of wort, 5 gallonsw the Cascade...

    What I did for beer today

    Took Thursday off this week just to brew! SWMBO was put of town and the kids were off to school so I did a bunch. Brewed a BM centennial blonde/ Belgian blonde partigyle, Yuengling ag clone, and an Oktoberfest extract kit while that mashed. Next day, regular day off, brewed up a Christmas ale...

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Thinking 11 gallon batch, ferment half w Mangrove Jacks M42, "new world strong ale yeast" half w wlp530 with a lb of sugar for a Belgian blond. Only used the M42 once in the stout kit it came in. A blonde ale would let me actually taste the yeast profile more.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Brewed 5g of common room esb yesterday. Craziest brew day in awhile, had to run off at the end of the mash to pick up a sick kid, and leave again mid boil to take another kid to piano...

    Belgian Blond Ale Revvy's Belgian Blonde (Leffe Clone)

    Adding this to the brew list. I'm going to split it between two fermenters, one w t-58 and the other with 530. I'll then use the 530 yeast cake for a westy quad clone!
