Filled our homebrew club red wine barrel today. 12 brewers 60 gallons of an Imperial saison into a Kendall Jackson red wine barrel

Definitely interested where u at??

Tried to get a lottery ticket for the ANTEAD from kane brewing but didn't win. Oh well saved myself 150$ at least.

I will be attending the blue point cask festival it will be the 14th one and most likely last at this location. They are moving and upgrading, guess InBev wants more craft beer. Been going for last 5 yrs it's a blast!!

Nope but have fun.

I just got one and have a Speidel with a thermowell and I used the inkbird 308. Worked excelllent brought my beer up to 80 over the course of 2 degrees everyday. Need to invest in some reflextic but I improvised with a flannel jacket wrapped over the wrap to help heat it and keep heat in as well.

Good luck to all those who entered NHC NY. Next weekend I might go help judge or steward Philly.

Didn't ken say he was gonna get one?

Got a ferm wrap I needed bad to bring a saison upto 80 degrees, it works perfect. I also got yesterday 1lb citra, a speidel accessory, some other hop for accessory flanders red batch and some dme.

So I need to ramp this saison upto 80 so picked up a fermwrap and have it set to my inkbird....I hope by morning it will be on its way up. I also added a heating blanket to aid in the rise.

Well its only available May to June

I like the seasonal white labs belgian wit 410

I hear that. I think I finally found some yeast strains I like. If the 075 works out then it's one more to keep as a house type strain. Whenever I make a starter I over build it and save some. Keeps me from having to clean yeast cakes and all. Hops haven't really experimented so.much but...

I worked today and the roads were still a mess up here. We didn't get any trailers from Albany, Harrisburg or Hartford....Looks like tomorrow will be christmas numbers.

Anyone order any of the vault strains? I got the Hansen ale 075

I let it ride. It's happily fermenting away now with white labs 564 a vault strain. How did the snow hit you Peyton? We got about a ft and I shoveled 3 times and am finally finished. Glad this was the only real storm this year.

So the imperial saison I brewed today came out about .007 short...I think some candi sugar camelized on the kettle bottom as I hit all my preboil numbers and everything. Think I should boil some dme and add that or just let it ride since there will be 13 other brewers as well?

I don't think the mini fridge I have I will build around. I was thinking of just extending the cooling area and cover g that only with wood. I also saw a bunch of build where I can make a metal frame and use the old door to close it tight. I hope it works. This will be a build this summer. When...

I would build it out using 2 in foam, caulk and tape as well as wood for the outer. Even considering using the door on opening.

So I got a mini fridge. Was thinking of expanding it to make a ferm chamber. Downside is I use that fridge now for chilling a keg at a time. Do you think I could use ferm chamber to serve be from as well? When not making beer of course.
