+1, coffee at work. Time to go home yet?

 

[Hello]

+1, coffee at work. Time to go home yet?

Work? Lame!
I feel terrible and I only had 4 beers, two of them were 4% and 5.2% the other two were 6.8% and 7.2%. All pints. I have some place to be so I can't sleep more. Sad faces.

But I did buy ingredients for my first all grain brew day tomorrow. That is if I can coil my copper right without a pipe bender. It never came after I ordered it and I cannot find them locally, not the small cheap ones.

 

[Remmy]

Coff. It's only -4F outside this morning.

Wuss! I had 8 last night, all north of 8%. 4 x 8.8%, 2 x 8.1% and 2 x 10.5%. Now, having said that, I'm on the coff hard.

I coiled mine on a turkey fryer basket. It did it's job. Definitely recommend coiling it that way or something round you can use as support. Mine isn't pretty but gets the job done

I coiled mine inside my old (smaller) boil pot. it ain't all pretty neither, but works great!

 

[DrunkleJon]

I used the outside of a Corny to coil mine.

Same here.
It was too difficult to use the inside....

I've heard you can fill the tubing with sand to prevent kinking. How you get the sand in or back out, I have no idea.
Morning coffee (brown ale). Finally brewing scuppernong saison.

More coffee. Just mashed in on my Darkest Before Dawn BIPA.

if it was dry sand in dry tubing, that would work. you'd want to use some kind of real fine sand like people do for decorative bottles, not like the beach sand. the fine stuff would be kind of a pain to get out. and would be more difficult the smaller the tubing.

final sample before bottling my cinnamon apfelwein. Cant taste the cinnamon, it may shine later but either way its great for 8.7%

Starting the day with a Sculpin. Damn kids destroyed the house, and the almost 3 yr old niece dumped all my fish food into my tank. Cleaning.Not how I planned to spend my day...

That sucks! At least you have a good beer to help ease the pain.

Having some water after doing some cleaning in the cellar & basement. I'd say I'm only about 10% through what needs to get done.

You picking out all the beers you shouldn't be cellaring to move to the fridge? I think once I get my boil started I'm going to see if my salt cured ham is edible.

Started ... But I need to do more culling. Decided to pull a same of BDSA which has been on figs for the last two months. Tasting real good - I can tell the alcohol is there, but it is mellow. Will probably leave it on the figs until the end of the month and then rack over and age it with some wood before I bottle in May.

Same. Worked well for me.

 

[Remmy]

Midday Coff.

Tonight's gonna be a hell of a night.

Yup. Good stuff! Time for my last Sculpin while having lunch with just my kids before more cleaning. Homemade sauce, fresh mozz, and freshly cut pepperoni. Yummm

Looks good. Why rack off the figs? Sample looks pretty clear already. Do you use a paint strainer bag and racking cane when you're racking off of fruit or dry hops? I'd just add the cubes, personally.

Going to get your lamebic brewed this weekend?

 

[gometz]

Sampled the saison again, down to 1.008 in 6 days, slower than i expected, but still happy about it. Tastes great! Going to split the batch and funk one half.
