I'm new to homebrewing, with only a bit over a year brewing. I got started using the Picobrew "Pico C" and brewed 7 batches with that system, until they bankrupt. Brewing with the pico (IMO) was like using a keurig. While I miss the simplicity of the Pico, I would not go back to it now ( 1.3...
Racked two wine batches to secondary and finally bottled the dragon's silk imperial stout. Came in at 9.8% abv. Got to sneak a taste and i have to say i could drink it as is, so I can imagine how much better it will be once it carbonates. Can't wait
Picked up some supplies for next brew day (hopefully this weekend), removed labels off of 40 bottles, and racked 10 gal. batch of AHS Texas Red to secondary. The ABV on the red came in a bit higher than expected, so I'm super exited about that.
I'm doubting my so called score now. I picked up a couple 5 gal. Carboys for 30.75 and a 6 gal for 36. I'm about 45 minutes from the place so I was able to pick-up and avoid s&h.
Bottled some wine, transferred more wine and mead to secondary, dealt with some blow-off on both fermentors from yesterday's brew and enjoyed a Big Black Jack from Oakshire Vintage
Nice job CJ-3. I was just thinking yesterday of making something to facilitate carboy cleaning. I will definitely be using your design. Thank you for sharing.
