Sorry to hear...what went wrong?

 

[BrewinInPA]

I was told there is an Oktoberfest in the basement, minus a keg...take me to it.

 

[Wrathchild]

Sorry to hear...what went wrong?

Nothing i can admit to. I used a kolsch yeast and some east kent goldings and the beer smelled like a port a potty. It tasted soooo sweet but no caramel malt was used and it finished fairly dry. Not good enough

 

[grampamark]

The SMaSH went into the fermenter at .042.

The Cali Common I brewed on Saturday is at .012 after 5 days.

 

[seanjwalker1]

Irish Red, trying my hand at a Killians. Something to sip on watching football without getting smashed. Compliment my Czech Premium. I'll keg both in 14 days, Czech has been extended lagering at 35° for 6 weeks. Irish brewed Friday 10th and into the fermenter at 4:30pm, by 8:30 pm it was off and running at 66°.

Just pitched Lutra kveik into a West Coast IPA with Chinook and Simcoe hops

 

[Elric]

Brewed up an ipa today that I am fermenting with kveik to do a quick turnaround. Going up to a cottage with some friends on Friday and thought this would be a nice last minute addition to the other beers I am bringing. Already massive airlock activity and a 2” krausen a couple hours after pitching. Going to ferment it hot till Tuesday, then drop temp and dry hop till Thursday, then transfer and quick carb, ready to take up with me Friday morning.

Nice, that sounds tasty. I just did an all Citra brew that I liked a lot. I'm hoping for some piney/resiny flavors and aromas with this one. I'll be dry hopping 0.5 an ounce of each tomorrow morning

 

[bracconiere]

finishing up with the boil, almost time for the chiller!

What temp are you gonna ferment at my man?just wondering cause me and my dad did a 50/50 rye wheat and fermented in the shed at about 95 degrees. It took off for the races in about 2 hours. Blow off tube was a necessity

 

[csantoni]

Cascade APA is in the fermenter. Missed my OG by 8 points, but my mash times and temps were right on. I keep getting my crushed gain from different sources so it's been hard to tell if it's my process or the crush. I guess it's time to get a grain mill.

I got a hull wrecker and I love it! I brew in a bag and I always shoot a half pound or so over just to make me feel better. I dont think I have to but it makes me feel better I suppose

I pitched at 80F and now it's around 85 during peak fermentation. I did another Lutra beer that was more like 90/95F and it's amazingly clean tasting. I've got lots of head space, I brew 2 gallons in a 3 gallon fermonster

This rye brew with my old man was the first ive ever used kviek and I didnt know about that high end range and it blew my mind! He wanted it done in a week cause he was going to Alaska. It got done with all his fresh grown hops but I think there was many steps along the way we messed up. Or I mean I messed up. Hindsight is always 20/20

 

[Abrayton]

Planning a single hop Pale Ale for Saturday and first time using Motueka hops.

 

[BrewinInPA]

 

[jdauria]

Going to whip up a small batch of Patersbier, aka Trappist Single this coming weekend.

 

[Section1]

Haven't been able to brew in over a month or so but I have tomorrow off so I'm planning on brewing a Kolsch. Really looking forward to spending time in the brew basement and getting something in the fermenter.

 

[storytyme]

Getting geared up for an Oktoberfest party next month. This will be my 3rd straight Friday brew. So far I've done 10 gal batches of 1) Kölsch, 2) Pils, 3) Festbier, 4) Munich Dunkel and this week is....................Dortmunder Export.

Its been a good rotation as I am usually kegging a batch on brew day to keep fermentors filled. Although I am running out of kegs. Cheers everyone!

 

[bracconiere]
