A Taylor candy thermometer, trying to make some candy syrup.

I got the check for my article in the current Zymurgy.
Still haven't received the magazine yet.

 

[BrewZer]

Got my 2-liter Pyrex flask and a set of puncturated #10 stoppers for to be making starters with lots of headspace from Amazon... a day early!

I received an Exchillerator Hangover as a gift. The knob on the thumbscrew was shattered despite careful packing.
I placed a call to Exchillerator on Saturday after Christmas and received a replacement today!
Great service!

O2 to Go, Mangrove Jack Hop Spider for my Grainfather and some Munich Malt

 

[BrewZer]

ABS and UPS comes thru again! Got their in-house "Munich In Tents" kit today along with a pound of light DME (for starters) and 5 pounds of corn sugar (for priming). I'm planning to pitch some 2112 from the bottom of the current beer in the fermenter into the kit and see how that works... if not, there's a pack of Safale US-05 as back-up.

Three new-to-me hops arrived. Now I gotta figure out each one's character set...

I did a Maris Otter/Azacca SMaSH that was one of the most amazing Pale Ales/IPA I have brewed yet. I think I drank 5 gallons in about a week. 5.5-6%ABV, 1 oz@60, 1oz@15, 1oz@WP, 1oz@DH, CaAle Yeast at about 65F for 3 days and then into the keg with the DH for spunding. Have fun!

PITA HOA bill. Does any fellow HBT member want it?

Wait, you get PAID to write about beer / brewing????

 

[day_trippr]

Sure, it sounds like beer and skittles to be a highly paid published beerologist, but just think about the pressure!

Cheers!

As long as it's below 3, it shouldn't be too much pressure....

Grodz?

Grodz?

Yes!

 

[JAReeves]

Yes!

I just smoked 3# of malt for my upcoming Porter. Smoked beer can be surprisingly good.

What wood did you use? I missed my opportunity to attempt to smoke malt last year, but I have some apple wood that might be nice and isn’t available from maltsters as far as I know.

 

[JAReeves]

I used Applewood since it's available at Ralph's (Kroger). I use a Little Chief cold smoker, trays made of foil with holes poked in them to let moisture drip and smoke to rise. I usually smoke the malt all day, add the Irish Whiskey-soaked wood 3-4 times over the course of the day, dry it out overnight in the oven (170F) then let it rest in the keezer for a couple weeks or more. I only smoke the dark malts for this porter.

I didn't even know weyermann had a smoked wheat. I've only used the viking smoke wheat in my gratzer. Have you used the viking? If so how does it compare to the weyermann?

I didn’t know Viking made it, and I haven’t seen it where I shop, so I’ve never used it.

 

[JAReeves]

I really don't like the choices at my LHBS, so I always smoke my own malt.

 

[BrewZer]

I got tired of paying $1 each for grain bags, so I ordered a box of them from Amazon. As of this morning, I have enough for the next 10 years or so...

Highly paid?
Over the last seven years it's covered all my ingredients costs and most of my equipment.
