Show us your Truubs!

[bendavanza]

I had the girls raise their shirts to show off the current lineup of brews.
Double IPA, AG guinness export clone (my first All grain)], and a Milk Stout.
If you don't do it now, I recommend using dark T shirts to keep your brews out of the light, they fit real nice and you can even slip the brew handle straps through the sleeves.
cheers

Wow that is some trub. Jamo I think you only have about 3 gallons of actual beer in there.
My pic was 2 in secondary, and one in first day of fermentation.
II never used to do secondaries, but I am liking the additional clarity when racking to kegs.

I ended up with about 4.5 gallons in secondary. Primary was about 5.75 gallons. My autosiphon kept clogging from all the hops (7 oz) when transferring from the kettle, so I just dumped it into my carboy. That trub/cake is a heck of a lot more than just 7 oz of hops!! Highly flocculant yeast, batman!



I've stopped using secondaries as well, except for longer term agers like this one. This was a take on the October Beer in radical brewing. The pictures are from when I racked to secondary, approx 5 weeks after brewing. The cake blew me away at the time, so we had a little photo shoot. :rockin:
