What are you brewing today/weekend, post pics...

[dlester]

Ya, well this might be Thursday, "butt" the brewing weekend is almost here.

Cheers, and post pics!!

 

[dlester]

Please post pics of your brew day. We are all interested in your brewing day. Whether it's on your stove top, converted keg or custom brewery. We are all at different levels and want to see your progress.


Thanks

I hate stuck mash. I run water through the mash tun backwards, which usually works. However, it is typical symptomatic of a bigger problem, like compacted grains.


Hope it went better,

I realize this thread encourages pics, but we already have "Who's brewing this weekend" and "What I did for beer today", do we really need another? How many threads do I need to update when I brew?

Yeah it was the oats in the oatmeal porter... knew I should have used some rice hulls. The rest of the day went without a hitch, thankfully.

The oats get really gummy until it converts.


Good luck,

Those oats make for a slow mash, being it is so gummy. Glad it worked out.


Post pics if you have them,

Going to do a Belgian Patersbier on Friday night...

1.046 of just Belgian pilsner malt, 32 IBU of Saaz hops, and Wy3787 or WLP585...

That sounds really good. My Saturday is looking like the Fuller's London porter recipe with Irish ale yeast. I'm afraid of bottling with 1968 after reading the giant English yeast thread.

Be sure to break out the monks robe.

Irish ale starter for a porter and likely more batches in the near future. Most ghetto stirplate I have ever seen, but totally effective.

 

[masonsjax]

Sweet looking flask too.

It's Friday, and time to post some pics of your brewing venture...

 

[Jupapabear]

This is what I have done this week for beer. Made a 1.9L starter. Added shelves to my kegerator / fermentation chamber. Watched my brew buddy play with spent grains. Brewed 6 gallons RIS.

 

[Jupapabear]

Added the bucket to chamber to drop over night from 78-60. Enjoyed some bells 2 hearted in celebration of making my biggest beer. Added blow off tube after pitching and it's going like crazy right now.

Are you laughing at my yeast vase? That will not stand, sir.

 

[plath]

Bottled my 2 gallon batch of a modified MB kit. No idea what to call it. Lost a bit to the leaf hops but what I sampled tasted decent.

Actually, when you get right down to the nitty-gritty of it, None.

Burn?

Found a new HBS, and I'm trying his Blue Moon clone.


Sent from my van, down by the river.

You said it's effective. I've got no problem with ghetto gear if it works. :rockin:

Brewed an Amber ale on saturday...Beautiful day to brew.

You just never know what you can find browsing around good will. I kinda feel like Im the odd man out on this forum, what with all the folks who own and love top end gear. I doubt I've spent more than $200 on equipment, and that's mash tun to bottle, all inclusive. Maybe I should do a writeup on how to approach this hobby effectively on a budget.

 

[thegreatmaibockaddict]

what else you dopes?!?!

13.4 lbs Avangard pils malt
2 oz Weyerman Sauered malt
1.5 oz Tetnang (Mash)
30 IBU perle 90 mins
1 whirlflock tablet 15 mins
Re-piched german bock yeast
OG 18.4 Plato
2 decoctions! (yay!)

Some of us go overboard on the equipment. However, we all know you can brew good beer with a simple setup. In fact, you should do how to videos with you equipment.


Good luck

I recently brewed a nut brown with 1968. It is kind of crazy. After 2 days @63 it just quit on me. No airlock activity & the krausen dropped. I put it in a room @ 66 & roused it a couple times over a day. It took off again & worked steady for a week. Ended up @ 1.012 after 12 days, 2 points lower than Beersmith estimate. I'll keg that one friday & brew a dry stout on sunday. Prost!

This weekend I brew Nothing. Camping and drinking homebrew so I have enough empties to bottle 12 gallons next weekend.
