Nice thats some fast attenuating dude. Looks like your conversion efficiency was pretty high.

 

[chefchris]

Yeah, I've never taken gravity readings during fermentation. It's at least 2 weeks after brew day before I take one. Kinda neat to watch it drop so fast and to taste the difference. 3 days into it and I'm already considering making another batch.

let's make the robust 10g after thanksgiving!!! (or the monday before thanksgiving )

so my 1075 IIPA is down to 1015, tastes fantastic and I added the dryhops

I think I'll call it Hoptimus Prime (stolen from a thread on the forum)

what about the Wed before Thanksgiving? I'm actually off all day.

I don't know why cascade doesn' suit me. I think it's because it reminds me of SNPA which I like but isn't so grea at the same time...

as for

what about the Wed before Thanksgiving? I'm actually off all day.

I am going to south florida the day before thanksgiving. maybe tuesday?

actually, I won't be able to control my ferm temps since I use a swamp cooler so it's probably not a good idea to just let it ferment and leave for a few days.....

I need to find a fridge that will fit my BB. I don't want another chest freezer!

 

[ldgenius2000]

Bottling the cider tonight so that'll be ready soon for tasting. I might do a brew session tomorrow night or the night after if we wanted to do another meeting. Let me know.

 

[chefchris]

I think we just got someone to lease our apartment. So that means a party is in order. How's Thursday night sound?

I'm down for brewing with you tomorrow night, too, Ed.

 

[ldgenius2000]

Sounds fine to me, 7:30 or 8ish maybe, but congrats about the leasing I'm glad it worked out for ya.

 

[elmetal]

thursday night sounds like a plan to me! It's only about 1.1 miles so it will be a good walk home to burn those calories. hahaha

so how about tuesday night 10 gallon robust split next week chris? I'll buy the water! (because you're supplying the propane, burner, pot. mostly propane)

 

[ghpeel]

I'll be back in town Thursday (I think...) so I'd love to hang for another brew session. My turkey fryer came in yesterday so I can't wait to brew with it.

Man .. I've drank waaayy too much this week. Went to the Brooklyn Brewery on Sunday, and a smaller brewery in Pennsylvania yesterday. Its been awesome.

Sounds good to me. I hope I have enough propane. 10 gallon use significantly more propane. Maybe I'll brew this weekend and try and use it up. I need to buy a second one so I can just switch them out.

Oh wait, ****. I can't Tuesday night. We're having the office party here at work.

 

[elmetal]

You brokey heart!

Haha it's all good

how about week after sometime? Let's figure it out!!

 

[matt415]

i just got it and it doesnt fit my probe like it says it would. i have to pay to ship it back ship it back so im at a loss anyway.

 

[elmetal]

how exactly do you read or moitor the temp? Like with a ranco?

 

[matt415]

i bought it to use with my ranco but any temp probe that will fit into it will work. the probe on my ranco is slightly bent which is preventing it from fitting into it.

 

[ldgenius2000]

Hey Graham which PA brewery did you go to?

Have a look at home depot. I saw some tubes there that looked exactly like thermowells. I think they were in the dishwasher section.

Everyone still down for tomorrow.

Ed, the lady's not home yet, I'll let you know.

 

[chefchris]

Oh, BTW, we found somone to take over our apartment!!!!

4 bedroom house with a brew room for me!!!!!

Also a big back and front yard so when the club exceeds 100 people we can have block parties there.

Everyone still coming for the bro-down/bra-down tomorrow?

 

[ArcaneXor]

Everyone still coming for the bro-down/bra-down tomorrow?

[elmetal]

Ill be there.

 

[elmetal]

all I've ever read in book for was papazians joy of homebrewing 3rd edit.

 

[ArcaneXor]

all I've ever read in book for was papazians joy of homebrewing 3rd edit.

John Palmer's How To Brew is a must-read in my opinion.

 

[ghpeel]

Yeah I'm down for brewing tomorrow night. Are we meeting at the shop at 7-8pm again?

 

[ghpeel]

Hey Graham which PA brewery did you go to?

It's called "1 Guy Brewing" in Berwick Penn. Its a tiny town and a tiny brewery, but it was decent. They don't distribute anything yet, they just serve it out of their brew pub. They had a german lager that was ok, and 2 hefe's: a standard and a peach. They were both good.

I've got Ray Daniels' Designing Great Beers and Radical Brewing. I can lend you those tonight.

 

[ghpeel]

Wait .... I think I meant 'tonight'. Whew, long week.... So what time are we meeting tonight?

 

[elmetal]

I remembered the Incubus song that had leader.



Take me to your leader.

you guys made me feel like I was crazy.


I can't wait till these 30 gallons magically become drinkable. it's probably more like 25 gallons now... I try to push it on friends when they come over like: "Hey wanna know what happens when you make beer with tapwater?"

surprisingly they accept it....

 

[chefchris]

i don't remember talking about incubus.
