Is that a 10 gal barrel? I got a 15 coming in soon. I'm going to brew something big this week to fill it once it comes in. :rockin:

This is a 20L. I don't have big enough equipment to do 10-gallon batches just yet. I'll get 4-5 beers out of this one before I dump my sours into it.

About 5gal, nice. It looks bigger than it is. I havent made a 10 gallon batch yet but going to go a 10 gal and a 5 gal batch this weekend and maybe brew a sour too. This weekend is a brew weekend. Thats the plan.

Sounds like a damn fine plan. I brew mostly 10gal batches right now and it's really no different other than lifting can be an issue if you don't have pumps. Didn't get to brew last weekend so hoping to pump out 20gal Saturday.

'Tis the season...


Sent from here, because that's where I am.

Did you see all the peeps complain about them using cans? Haha

Husky Country!


Since I have short of 5-gallons of my RIS, I will certainly use Dave37's extra gallon or so of beer (Robust Porter) to top off the barrel. The sample I had today (4:1 ratio) was pretty good. I love the way my RIS tastes by itself; same for Dave's RP. But I don't want to leave space in the barrel once I rack the RIS over. And I don't want to brew another 5-gal batch of the RIS right now - got too many beers going at the moment and I'm brewing a Quad with cherries next weekend.

Right now I do brew in a bag but that is worked out and should manage just fine. Got stuff for a three teir or make a single tier but need the pumps/a pump and a few more for my mash tun. Got an electric Lauter tun form a brewer friend. I'm really excited from getting a second use bourbon barrel for $40. Planning to put a quad in first, then probably a barleywine, and maybe one/two more before souring and enjoying endless supply of sour beer

Nice! Forgot to mention chilling is the only other issue without a pump unless you have a large immersion chiller and can recirculate ice water through it. We're getting some wine barrels on the cheap that I am excited to start filling :rockin:

The chilling is going to suck but i got a 50 ft coil that should cool it off fairly fast. Need to make another one to soak in ice water before going to the beer. I'll have all day so i dont mind.

 

[MrNickVT]

A long trail ramble on draft to start the day. 5pm tapping of KBS!

 

[banesong]

That sucks - hope that improves by the time you get home!

Have an emaw waiting, so it should!

 

[banesong]

Hmmmm
Seriously, I think I have a friend who would love it very much. i love it, but I think this non-beer drinking friend would love the ABV of it and the taste for when she feels like she would like to have an adult beverage. Maybe a drive is in order. Want to PM me details on where you may get it? Northern VA shouldn't be far from NC...then again, I did fail geography, twice.

PS, hope the pukers, I mean kids are better.

Drinking coffee.

Hehe.. It is only 4 hours, and we have great local micros and brew pubs.

Plus, the Smithsonian.

Pm to follow when I find time. :x

Kid decided he wanted to go out and play. So, Dad has to grab a brew.

 

[SFGiantsFan925]

Having a smoothie right now. Love the Vitamix.

Wine and a variation of HB with family tonight. Detox before I Retox!!

 

[unionrdr]

Drinkin' a 2nd can of Oskar Blue's Moma's little yella pils. Celebrating my good financial fortune today. 2 good deals in one day will solve a lot of $$ problems around here. Def beer time!

My overcarbbed Abrasive clone. The first pour was too aggressive and I lost about a third of it to getting yeast mixed in. So I did what any normal person would do. I poured another as carefully as I could and got it all in. Should be feeling good in a few minutes.

Real thing vs. clone. Mine wasn't quite primed yet (thought it would be), so the head and retention isn't quite there yet. But the head color is right, the color is spot on. I can tell them apart, but they're REALLY close. Mine is a touch more bitter (I made some water assumptions, and probably over did the sulfate level), where the original is a little maltier. Theirs is has a slightly stronger yeast character. So if I do this again, tone back the water, and ferment a bit warmer, and they should be spot on.
