Made a stir plate this mourning. 11 dollar fan from amazon. A washer, a hd magnet and a cigar box. Works quite well. Can't wait to get a starter on this thing.

Bottled up my 10 gal split batch of pumpkin ale. The s05 batch went into bottles for holiday gifts to the family. And the other batch I fermented with danstar belle saison, that went in the kegerator for myself :-)

I mash in the kitchen to save some propane, plus I haven't built a stand yet. Drain into a pot and dump in my keggle on the banjo burner outside. The keggle pic is from my old duplex. Plan on using the small shed in the last pic to brew in as soon as I get some money together to build a stand.

I started with a fermentation chamber so a can't realy add there but running my water through a charcoal filter has improved my beer drastically. Also since I started kegging my beer has lost an off flavor I could never quite place. I begun purging my fermenters and kegs with co2 when racking...

Racked my pumpkin saison to secondary. Went to my friends house who just brewed his first batch and helped him rack his batch to secondary.

Yea I say this I think that most brewers like to make things. I make things at work every day and my hobbies share the same trend. But enjoying some good homebrew while I cook a good meal I is one of my favorite things to do.

I drank a couple of my homebrews with my friend. That's realy the hole point anyway rite?

This is my pumpkin ale. Did 11 gal this one with so5 the other with danstar belle saison. Thought the two colored krausen was kinda weird.

Just saw your above post about your conversation with rva srry. You won't be disappointed. I fermented at about 60 ambient and it's very clean. What you putting it in.

Lol yea I know how that is a job will spend two months in design then they want a finished plastic injection mold in 2 weeks... did you order the pacman from rva?

Lol yea there's a decent amount of small job shops around. There's the Rolls Royse plant that just opened up. I'm a tool and die maker an work at the only tool making shop in va. I know smart career choice right...

Haha your welcome. I was very satisfied with the pacman from rva. Just racked to a corny to cold crash and secondary after one week in primary and it tasted excellent. No off flavors just clean. 1.048 to 1.006 in one week. Even more off topic they are currently harvesting strains from local...

+ 11 gal pumkin brown ale. Split batch half with s05 half with belle saison = 25,232.5

Rva has a Chico (claims to be sierra Nevada) and a pacman (claims rouge) the specs seam real close to each other. I'm fermenting a cascade pale ale as we speak with their pacman. It's ripping right through it, no starter, (rva claims 2x the cell count) but it's was chugging rite along within 4...

I live in Richmond va. Just had a local yeast lab open, rva yeast labs. They have a pacman strain out. http://www.rvayeastlabs.com/ale-strains.html

Ill drink any of the bmc beers if someone hands one to me. You probably won't see me buying it though. This forum got a little off topic over the last few pages... just saying... there is a debate forum.
