First batch from scootypuff

[scootypuff]

Herro everyone! Just wanted to share a pic of my first home-brew 3 gallon batch (hence the headspace in the carboy). It's a recipe based off a Ska Brewery Pinstripe clone.

A special thanks to maffewl, who without his guidance, I would have made something the CDC would have send the haz-mat guys out to get lol.

I won't be able to answer any technical questions right now about the beer because 1) I left the recipe over at maffewls 2) I have no idea what I'm doing lol and 3) I'm at work and gotta get back to the grindstone. I'll try and update in the future. Adios amigos!

Herro everyone!

Did you just say "Herro"? That may be appropriate for the dog forum... but a little weird here.

Can you at least tell me what temperature that Krausen is

Racist. All cultures are accepted here.

That would be me who suggested he try a 3 gallon batch to get his process down (which also kept the therm strip above the wort level). Now, I told him you guys on HBT are a nice group... don't scare him off after his first batch.

Wildwest, if your avatar is an indication of what a 3 gallon batch will get me.. I am a convert.

Congrats on your first batch! Looks like you are on the right track to becoming obsessed like the rest of us!

Keep us updated on how the beer turns out!

I ensured I would not be taken seriously by including a pink smiley w/ tongue after my comment.

Seems like a sound idea for the 3 gallon batch and it seems like he did a great job. Looks damn good in that carboy already!

Scoot, I am actually not familiar with Pinstripe... what made you want to do that as your first brew?

Because it's a tasty brew out of Southwestern Colorado!

Next batch you should step it up and get a Scootypuff Senoir.

Yep it is a tasty brew indeed! My family and I went to Durango,CO this past summer and I visited the Ska Brewery. Extremely cool place. And yes, maybe one day I'll step up to "The Doombringer" lol. For now the picture attached is a fair representation of me at homebrewing.

Hah, I never made it out to Durango, but a couple of friends and I made the hike out to Pagosa Springs (an hour east of Durango) from South Fork and found it on tap at a local pub. We also found the Pagosa Springs Micro Brewery and needless to say, after a few of those, the hour and half trip back through Wolf Creek pass was interesting, and rewarding. Thanks to some liquid courage and a tool box, we brought home some roadside souvenirs.

Very nice!

At least it's getting put to good use. You could do a batch where the thermometer is covered.
