Totally doing an extract tomorrow.

 

[ghpeel]

Easy, but expensive.

 

[elmetal]

I dont got much time tomorrow.

besides there's a recipe from last summer that people want us to remake so we gotta do it at some point

what are you making?

 

[elmetal]

it was a fat tire clone but honestly, it just tasted like a sweet amber. people freaking loved it. the keg was gone so fast. alex and I brewed 3 kegs and they were all gone by the end of the day, but this particular one was gone incredibly fast.

 

[elmetal]

it was for a labor day pig roast at his parents' house btw. big party lots of people. we're not alcoholics.

 

[chefchris]

weren't you just giving me **** for doing an extract?

yes ... yes you were.

 

[elmetal]

I have nothing against it. I was just giving you ****

[Yambor44]

[elmetal]

Brewing tonight gents! Sort of kind of like that Nuptual recipe at Hoggtowne. Left a few ingredients out. Its a partial grain. Damn glass top electric stove takes forever to get to a boil. Have to get my turkey fryer burner back from the neighbor.

 

[ldgenius2000]

I do just fine with the ole glass top. Just need to drink more.

I need a smaller diameter pot. Got a Bayou from Lowes, 24 quart.

 

[chefchris]

that's a good recipe, pick. knowing Jason (his recipe) i've drank a lot of that beer. he had 20 gallons of it and just ran out. He brewed 5 gallons last weekend.

what's crazy about that beer is the simcoe. it's only dry hopped but to me was the dominant flavor.

 

[Pick]

Hmmm, my OG only came out to 1.03 and some change. 6.6 lbs of LME, 1 cup dextrose and 2 lb of grain. Should have been 1.045 or something like that. Eh, first time I've brewed in 6 years, a little rusty.

 

[chefchris]

those cans of extract are about 25 gravity points each. so it should be higher than that. did you end up with the correct volume at the end of the boil?

also, I think the dextrose was suppose to be used at bottling time.

 

[matt415]

i just tried to bottle harvest some pacman from a chocolate stout. i hope it works. anyone else tried to bottle harvest pacman? any luck?

Chris has tradition, likes enhanced flavors and values integrity.

 

[chefchris]

the tradition of being a bad ass.

Just scored a kegerator off Craigslist today. It's just a small apartment fridge, but it had the tap installed, came with a like new CO2 regulator and a 20# FULL CO2 tank!!!! Beer line has some black caca in it, so it will have to be replaced if I can't get it clean. Needs a drip tray. Will hold 2, maybe 3 cornies.

i wouldnt bother cleaning it. just replace it. beer line is cheap and its not worth contaminating your beer for a couple bucks.

i dont know if you need cornies or not but if you want to to a group buy let me know. i could use an extra one and it would be cheaper for us both to buy in bulk.

 

[chefchris]

Jason and I are brewing at the shop today if anyone wants to come by and hang out.

 

[ArcaneXor]

What time are you getting started?

AAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

 

[Pick]

Matt, yes I am interested. I only have one Corny Keg. Would like to get a couple more. Someone said you need at least 20-50.

The one keg I do have is a Hoff-Stevens type connector, so I really don't care if the new ones are pin or ball lock.
