That's living!

No kidding! Time to put the boat away and get serious about winter beers!

Original recipe i used Polaris, way back when I got a1 lb bag of challenger, in the spirit of using up aging stock I used the challenger, it works well for bittering, Mozsic goes in at flame out, citra ( 2 ounce) dry hop

Yes bittering

I've got an Octoberfest in the lagering cooler, a Red honey wheat ale in the fermenter to be bottled Friday, I'm brewing a spiced wheat " fireside warmer" this weekend..

Watching them is a heart attack waiting to happen. Home brew Citra, Mozaic and challenger IPA.

Monday, I started the construction of a new washing/sanitizing/bottling station, I'm repurposing a rack I built to store rolls of fiberglass, when I rebuilt my boat, various other elements from that build will be utilized - I'll post pictures when it's done- my current station sits in an old...

My .02- it's the reason I keep a few packets of dry S04,So5 , WLP 001 in the fridge, Having those on hand can save the day when in doubt.

I think ideally to be 100% steam free you need to vent outside, for some of us outside venting is not an option, We use the steam trap, I did a lot of R&D/ trial and error. I use this set up now, I recirculate my steam trap water, into a 5 gallon cooler, originally i added blocks of ice to keep...

I'm a planner,i plan at least 3 brews ahead,write down recipes before I brew, keep a stock list of grain hops and yeast, I'd be horrified to start the day not knowing what I was going to brew- you guys have got bigger stones than me!

Thank you sir can I have another! Yesterday I hauled my lobster pots for the season, my wife vacuum sealed most of the meat from the 15 bugs I i brought home for this winter,but saved enough knuckle and claw meat to make me a delicious meal. I found a few ears of corn the raccoons didn't get...

So funny. I was thinking that I hadnt see or heard about Foster's in a long while.

Welll that bites the big weiner! I made a blonde ale back when I was just getting started, my swamp cooler idea failed and the temp reached 90.. I bottled it anyway,,but calling it puke worty is a complement..i dumped the entire batch, then built a l egit cooling tower and chiller Since then...

Absence makes the heart grow sttonger-:welcome back from Reading Massachusetts.

Just cracked open the first from a batch of mosaic/citra heavy APA i bottled last week- young but tasty

Took inventory of my yeast and hops. Threw out anything opened and expired. Drew trub from last week's brew. Set up water profile for Tomorrow's brew - milled 11 lbs of grain for a pale Czech lager. Wrote out the recipe- time for a home brew!

Feeler gaugers, I measured. 045,..040,.037,.035,.032 and marked each setting so I don't have to remove the hopper each time I change a setting .

The geard mill is excellentl, it's far superior to the non geared version- but to each their own, I mill barley @ .040 and wheat and rye at .035- never an issue.
