The "Waiting for the Next Giveaway" Speakeasy

[allanmorgan]

Ken, you up next. I want to try things I can't get here.

 

[allanmorgan]

Watching Xmas shows....heat miser and what not. Best one of them.

 

[allanmorgan]

Jingle and Jangle are trying to make things right.

 

[allanmorgan]

Just believe in Santa Claus!

 

[allanmorgan]

Let's hear those sleigh bells ringing.

 

[allanmorgan]

White Christmas is on tomorrow. Can't be Christmas with that.

Keep shaking your keg. You will hear the gas transferring as you shake it. I shake it everytime I pass it for about 2 days at 30psi. Then tap it on the third day and set it at serving pressure and its ready to flow.

Shaking it every time I pass by. Scared the wife the first time when the CO2 tank made noise. I think I can tap this bad boy on Sunday. Ready to roll.

 

[allanmorgan]

Will see how cloudy it might turn out. Hopefully not too cloudy. I'm watching for leaks for sure. I have a soapy water solution that I sprayed on everything and I didn't get any bubbles. Time will tell.

Whats the ratio you use, soap to water? I spray starsan, but not certain it is the best for that job.

I have a Sodastream hooked up to a 20 pound tank because I love soda. Here on hbt there are brilliant soda recipes and i have been debating carbing 5 gallons of energy drink to have on tap.

 

[allanmorgan]

Hey Aaron. Mix water with soapy solution, make bubbles, spray on equipment. No specific mixture. Just soapy water.

 

[harrke]

Nice to meet you Sean and Aaron!

 

[harrke]

I've been thinking about making a soda water mini-keg to keep in the upstairs fridge. Then trying out syrups and my own recipes on the kids to see if we can find a winner.

 

[harrke]

We watched Holiday Inn on Tuesday. I always get a kick out of the two kids.

 

[TBC]

I actually bought a birch beer and cream soda extract a while ago but never made them.

 

[TBC]

Drinking a hb Belgian tripel now

 

[TBC]

Nice to meet you Sean and Aaron!

Nice to meet you to Ken!

 

[TBC]

Just got done watching Elf with the family

 

[TBC]

Now it's time to watch eagles-giants

 

[TBC]

2 days and 3 hours till the big day!

 

[TBC]

Tis the season for ham and deliveries. The ham sounds like way more fun though. Are you going to smoke it also? Then it will be triple smoked. Do you get a good workout in then delivering the packages?

Never thought of a triple smoked ham but I'd imagine it would be better than double smoked. If I had an electric smoker I'd give it a shot but I only have a charcoal smoker and I'm not going to mess with that this time of year. But I will definitely keep that in mind!

 

[TBC]

Oxygenation kit arrived from keg connection in the mail today. Will try it out on Saturday morning. No more shaking fermenters.

 

[TBC]

I wonder how many people follow this thread but are just out there lurking

 

[TBC]

Hopefully not too many so they don't break my streak

 

[TBC]

Refill time

Road trip to Springhouse Brewery tomorrow
