Mad Elf Grand Cru

Hb imperial Stout

Funk Brewing Citrus

Just checked on the experimental batch (took the mini batches I made and threw bugs and cherries at it), my house culture didn't really sour it much (too many ibus), but the Brett sure has been hard at work

Coffee after a 7k, smoker's rollings with my bird inside. Beer soon.

I found cappable belgian 375s at the LHBS the other day, so now I have literally no excuse to avoid bottling this thing, other than loathing bottling.

Lazy person right here. I start the session by pumping ro water into the hlt, mash via recirculation (underletting and using a peristaltic pump seems to have eliminated my need for an initial stir), then I pump to the kettle, and from the kettle to my fermenter(s). I dump the spent grains in...

I've been meaning to try making a sour stout for years now, so I'm thinking maybe my standard stout recipe, but sub in carafa 3 for the roast malt, and then dial the ibus down, pitch my house culture, and age on oak cubes for a bit.

First time using a counter-pressure filler... take pictures. See if you can catch the moment when you realize you really needed a 3rd hand :fro:

I recommend putting your bottles in a bucket while filling, in my experience you will end up with drips.

Pulled gravity samples today the wyeast 5 gallons has way too much sulfur (artifact I sometimes experience when spunding, may dissipate, or I may plate filter it which seems to really knock it down) the wlp half tastes great and is 9.1%, but I'm concerned that it may not be done so I'm force...

liter of pale ale.. no pic, my phone is way over there and I just ran 8 miles..

The only downside is going to club brewdays... I solved that by keeping one of my burners and getting a bag. Can't recommend it enough, especially if you're reasonably comfortable with reasonably high powered circuits.

Looks like things are moving right along down in the ferm chamber, my spunding valves are definitely spewing forth more than a little CO2 right now. Question for the group, what's the protocol on 'extras'? I don't expect anyone to include them, but I want to make sure it's cool if I put in...

one of these times I'll win something. Or not.

I don't usually filter (Biofine + cold crashing usually leaves me crystal clear beer), but when I do feel the need I use a plate filter similar to this one. https://www.morebeer.com/products/beer-wine-plate-filter-kit.html. Works like a champ, just make sure to run like a gallon of ro water...

Way too much schwarzbier

Finally making the full size batch. (Busy summer). Couple of pictures keep in mind that's a 20 gallon kettle

Side effect of burning off all body hair while using a 'pizza oven'

Sure you could get a co2 calibrated MAF sensor on eBay, mate it to your gas outflow and do the math based on those readings. I actually have one that I've played with a bit that emits readings via a serial port... I think it cost me between 5 and 10 bucks. I love old industrial surplus.
