Hoping to brew a pumpkin beer, cause im lazy and havent done so yet. I really should be baking the pumpkin right now, instead im really enjoying a quiet, empty house and a few too many SNPA clones

Cleaned 4 kegs, xfered a 10 gal batch of SNPA to kegs to crash out. Cleaned 2 14 gal fermenters ready for next weekend. Enjoying a new to me Creemore Springs Octoberfest beer. Bagged leaves n cut grass so i can be free next weekend lol.

Sarnhole. lol Sarnia

Still 78 deg F at 6:30 pm in Southern Ontario Canada lol! Hopin for a double brew weekend. Got kegs to fill!

So much to do. Get a starter going, build a collar for a keezer, clean the new shiny new 14G Brewmaster fermenter, and brew.... something, anything. Got kegs to fill!

Well... played with barley crusher gap settings. Got some locally grown malted 2row... Was warned id need to use "a bit finer crush" lol Normally the mill is set for roughly .037... Set it to .029 and did a Falconers Flight 10G batch... Well, best case scenario, Ill have an expensive 3.9% bèer...

Picked up 100lbs of local grown and malted 2row grain. Gonna take a bit of experimenting with barley crusher settings. I love the idea of brewing a 100% local beer here in SW Ontario, Canada tho. Think Ill try a recipe ive used, sub in the local grain as is first.. see what happens. Then either...

Just put WLP380 into the fermenter. 10 G lemon lime hefeweizen. Cant wait to try it out...

Switched out all my cam lock fittings to QDs, 10 hoses plus 18 male fittings on the rig. Put together and tested my keg washer with the new pump, xferred 10 gals of Hopwork Orange to kegs for crashing, cleaned kegs, found i could also clean the 14g conical with the keg cleaner... yay. Made a...

We'll see, got 10g of Hopwork Orange ready to keg and cold crash in my fermenter. Got some work to do with that and cleaning up the conical. If i get it ready, gonna try a lemon lime Hefe, will be the first batch with both liquid yeast and the glycol cooled fermenter in place. Hoping for superb...

lol, my dawgs wait at the stove knowin mama's gunna be makin beer treats!

10g Hopwork Orange tomorrow. Adding some orange extract this time.

I had started my own build based on the Blickmann, ended up buying their kit anyway. Far superior carb stone than what ir readily available alone. I now also use it to oxygenate my wort otw to the fermenter as well. I added inline temp monitoring so i could adjust the pressure if it heats up...

Its just a 5k btu window shaker ac unit.... pretty standard. Hardest part is figuring out the best way to plumb it all and the pumps / controlls.. As per the norm, i try to over engineer everything and it takes time lol...

Did 10g of Dogfish 60min. Trying to finish the glycol chiller, hope it turns out. Lots of hot 90+ F days, but the garage is still rockin about 71 deg... 69 in the ferm chamber.. Few more days and i should be able to cobble together the rest of the chiller at least in a temporary fashion.

Hopwork Orange tomorrow am. Then off with wifey to buy garden stuff. Hmm. Maybe i could hide some hop rhizomes in there for planting.. lol

I do a single malt brew with M/O and Nugget hopps. Otter's Nuggets... Very good, and yes i keep it as a lawnmower beer, little higher than norm carbonation.

Time permitting, 10g stout and assembling my inline carbonation pump!

Mashing out 10G of Otter's Nuggetts. Got to taste the Choc Milk Stout yesterday. Yummy.

Not too sure what to brew. Got the goods to do another Otters Nuggetts. (Marris Otter smash with Nuggett hopps) Last one was pretty good, easy, inexpensive. That or another basic Porter??? Installed 3- 3way valves on my rig hoping to reduce moving hoses around. Eager to try it out.
