Brewday from hell. Stuck sparges and more stuck sparges. Ended up draining the mash tun using a auto syphon and a hop bag after fighting it for an hour and a half. My 5 hour brew day ended up being over 8. Who knows how many off-flavors I threw in to that thing fighting that mashtun.

This beer will be the death of me. Was doing a rebrew as the first attempt poured out of a loose keg fitting dumping 4 gallons.
 
Since I'm off the rest of the week, I'll count it as weekend. Between Thursday and Friday, I'll brew a Maris Otter/Willamette SMaSH, rack my Dusseldorf Alt to secondary for "lagering", wash out its yeast, and repitch into a Sticke Alt and Doppelsticke Alt.
 
Hi I have a quick question about cider of anybody can help me. I made cider from fresh apples, once I had the juice I put one crampden tablet in for each gallon if juice, 24 hours later I pitched my yeast. I am about to bottle it and it's Been in an air locked fermenter for a good number if weeks, do I need to put more cramp den tablets in while I bottle or is this now sterile?

Thank you ever so much

once the yeast are done eating all the sugars, they're done. you don't have to worry about bottle bombs unless you add more sugar

Is the AVB at or close to 1.000? If so don't worry about adding more. If the final gravity is higher 1.005+ I would add potassium sorbate to inhibit the yeast growth before bottling.
 
Brewed my Duck Blind Wheat yesterday, the first beer I designed myself (well with the help of beersmith) and I am brewing (mashing as I type) Surf Scoter Scotch Ale today which is a slightly modified scotch ale recipe I found on this site.
 
So I just finished a honey nut brown english ale. The yeast was sketchy though. It was separated and looked almost curdled. Didn't fizz when I opened it. Will it still ferment, or will I need to buy another after christmas?
 
Thanks for your help with the cider.

I have another question regarding the brewferm mini kegging system if anyone has used it before. Essentially I have kegged my beer as per the instructions. But it's using the gas that I'm struggling with, is there a specific way to do it? I have a nitrogen bulb in and not sure if I have done it correctly.

English yeast is very flocculant and that is very common. I am sure that all is well, when I use English yeast it always does that. So long as it doesn't look dark like peanut butter you should be good.
 
Fresh Frankenstein IPA on Saturday. If possible, i may also make a saison Tuesday.

I am hoping to knock out a batch of my breakfast stout with a tweaked recipe, a black ipa (tweaked El Jeffe recipe from the IPA Book), and maybe one more batch.
 
I'm brewing a SN Bigfoot inspired barleywine. I'm changing it up a little with the base malts. Adding some munich to the base grains and adding a dash of chocolate malt. I'm shooting for higher gravity as well(1.120).
 
Mashing in a batch of Blonde Bombshell ale. Something easy drinking for the curious keezer onlookers to have during the superbowl party. Will boil the wort tomorrow.
