Great deal

What the what ? Over my head.

Insanity, Tazz, is an airlock that never bubbles !!!

Checked the carbonation of the Blue Moon clone. Yep, she's ready !!! The orange peel mellowed out nicely.

Transferred that last 2 gallons of a 3 gallon batch of brown ale to the 1.75 gal keg, washed, sanitized both kegs with PBW and then Starsan using the Mark II auto keg washer and God how I love that thing ! Kegged the Blue Moon clone. Both are cold crashing in the Kegerator, hopefully tomorrow...

Cleaned the Kegerator, beer lines, checked FG on Blue Moon clone, 1.004, finished at 6.2...strange, should have finished around 5.6 ? Transferred fermenter to Kegerator to cold crash @34° for a few days to see if I need to do any further finning. Look pretty clear in the tube though. Taste good...

@tmurph you gotta stop posting pictures of all that beautiful shiny stuff ! I start salivating! It almost sends me into a SS equipment frenzy ! It's like a made in Heaven brewing candy store ! 😂😂

Yeah ! Shiny and pretty just does something to you doesn't it ?!!! SS brewing equipment is my yellow brick road to Brewing Nirvana 😂🤣. Like when you get your first SS fermenter, you've gone from your 10 year old sedan to your first AWD SUV. Just warmness and fuzziness ! For my 1st 15 years of...

Wow that is a beautiful piece of equipment! I have two 8 gal Chapman fermenters. The One Brew is SS on inside. But thanks for the info ! No telling in today's economic downturn if the price will ever happen again, you were lucky ! I could wait for another Black Friday cause I don't really need a...

Not much but hopefully today or tomorrow find time to check the gravity on my Blue Moon clone. All I've done for a couple of days is mull around in my head if I should pull the trigger on this Chinese made SS mash tun ??? Or some other shiny piece of brewing equipment I probably don't really...

Saaz and Hallertau! My 2 fave hops

Love it ! Old school ! Though I do usually check my gravities, I believe most folks have gotten away from just brewing beer vs brewing beer in a CDC/MIT laboratory. My motto is Brew it, just do it. Guess I'm among the last of the old world beer slingers. Dying breed. Always tell my wife if I had...

Be careful ! Don't be over confident and have you leg give out and spill all that brew ! Those yeasty beastie have work way too hard !!!

Yeah. My American Wit Blue Moon clone is an imposter too. Belgian style wit but with American ingredients. But in the end, it taste good so it's ok.

Day 2, American Wit chugging away ! The orange and toasted Coriander coming out of the airlock is marvelous !!! 🙂 I just love a good airlock sniffing moment 🤗🥴

Love it when I see anyone refusing to let obstacles get in the way of the need to build, forge ahead , improvise, overcome, adapting, reaching new heights, forging ahead in the great American spirit, latching on to enginu ...ingenew..??? Oh heck, ya done a whale of a job getting er done !! !!!!

Had to take a 40 min break to pick up the wife so just rinsed the grains, cleaned the mash tun and left it waiting on the stove in the brew pot with the top on keeping any nasties out. Back home and she's almost at boil temp !

Finally a few hours to brew some beer ! About to get it on with my 1st brew since Dec. American Wit , Blue Moon-ish clone.

I'm not a hop head by any stretch of the imagination. Still taste the hops. I was going over in my mind what to do. I was thinking maybe split the 4 gallons, keg or bottle 2 gal and maybe fruit the other 2 gallons. Maybe peach or Mango

Side note to the above: Can't taste any cinnamon anymore or clove anymore. So it's more like a wit now instead of a White Christmas ale. Kind of a bummer because I've already got the grains for a Blue Moon American Wit to brew this week.
