Don't know what else to call my home where I have been brewing:cross:
I have 3 beers fermenting right now once of which is an extract honey wheat I brewed last Saturday. Being that this thing had crazy fermentation going on I had switched it to a blow off tube. Worked great all week and since it was slowing down today quite a bit I decided to switch it back to an airlock (No I don't even know why I did that). In removing the airlock / blow off tube rig I had going on the bucket fermenter the gromet slipped off and fell into the krauzen. I thought I could quickly get a sanitized spoon and spoon it out before it sank all the way but I was too late. So all my buckets being occupied I thought of the only thing I could do. The IPA I had sitting in fermenter #1 was sitting for a month. I racked it to my better bottle and dry hopped it (I was going to dry hop it anyway but in the bucket). CLeaned and sanitized the gromet of that lid and put it on the wheat beer. So now I got a free fermenting bucket. The only worries I really have since I practice good sanitation is the gromet infecting the wheat beer.
Not sure what to brew next I was thinking of doing a smash.
Anyways on a brighter note I made a wort chiller today using 50ft 3/8 tubing.
Going to try it out with plain water tomorrow.
