What I did for beer today

[BUCKNUTS]

Mashed in on a golden sour and a farmhouse rye

I stewarded this past weekend at the NHC judging event at Singlecut Brewery in Queens, NY. A lot of fun and a great bunch of people. Shout out to Chris Cuzme for organizing and Singlecut for providing space.

I hope you handled my beers well

I hope you handled my beers well

I worked Porters in the morning and Strong Belgian Ale in the afternoon. If yours was in those categories, then I shook it up on the way to the judges table

 

[BGBC]

I did enter a BDSA - damn you!

 

[Psylocide]

Nothing at all...

 

[Pkrd]

Ordered some Nelson Sauvin to dry hop Tuesdays brew, and some Golden Promise and Mosaic for a smash.

You're safe.

Per BJCP 2015, Belgian Dark Strong Ale is now in category 26 "Trappist" (go figure). I was stewarding 25c Belgian Golden Strong.

I'll get ya next time.

I built a wooden shelf from deck boards and 2x4(s) in my keg fridge. The glass shelves and plastic rails weren't built for two full kegs.

 

[Oceantendency]

Last Night I kegged/ bottled my Blackhawk Black IPA, can't wait until it carbs up..

 

[unionrdr]

...I found out a couple minutes ago I won the ITC 1000 in the Inkbird contest! BOOYAAAH! I guess there is a first time for everything!

 

[Moose_MI]

I hooked a ITC-310T up to a freezer I picked up off CL last week and **SHAZAAM** ! .... I gots me a fermentation chamber! At this very moment I'm cold cashing a Fizzy Yellow Beer and getting a feel for the newest addition to my brewery.

 

[bendog15]

I purged a bunch of co2 out of a keg that was pouring foamy. Then i realized I purged the wrong keg. Doh!

 

[philipCT]

I went up to the Stony Creek Brewery in Branford, CT and got a tour of the place from the president. What an awesome place, and an awesome bunch of folks.

I really like their. Big cranky dipa. Very underrated which is a great thing raise you can actually find it in stores.

 

[Pantherjon]

Worked...now am drinking it..

 

[jmitchell3]

Cleaned a stainless fermenter and keg. And drank some homebrew.

 

[unionrdr]

Gonna put some of my stout in the fridge for my birthday next Thursday. I'll make it to the big 6-0...

 

[TorMag]

Ordered a fast fermenter from Midwest supplies.

 

[brewbama]

Made a spunding valve

 

[schatzke]

Took a sample of my APA. Fermentation was complete so in go the dry hops.

 

[Brewenstein]

Put a 1x4 on my keezer and reworked my faucets so I could put some tap handles on. They were given to me a while ago, but due to the way I constructed my collar, they wouldn't work. With the angle of the handles they would hit the lid before the faucet was completely off.

Then I kegged an oatmeal stout and set it at 35 psi. I'll turn it down to serving pressure after 24 hours.

[BigMack]

Working on harvesting some Bell's yeast from a sixer of Oberon.

 

[filthyastronaut]

Brewed a Brown Ale!

 

[Pantherjon]

Checked the FG on my 'Gooder Than Guinness' and liked the number so decided to bottle it..Got 47 bottles from the 5G batch..Why bottle when I have started kegging? Wanted to try a new method of bottling- using a priming sugar solution..Will see what the outcome is like in about 2 weeks..

 

[EtchyLives]

Used the beer gun to bottle up some of the punk monk for sharing next week. Drinking some of it, too.

 

[govner1]

Transferred my White IPA from secondary to kegs. Cleaned the carboys & transfer equipment.
I also weighed out the grain for an APA I'll brew Tuesday. I'll mill the grain Tuesday AM.

 

[chisena]

Drunk a Guinness at lunch! Whoa whoa...

 

[unionrdr]

Did some cleaning & straightening around the man cave/brewery yesterday. A lil more this morning to come. Son is supposed to show up with his fiance, so cleaned up some clutter.

 

[BigMack]

Checked the gravity on an American Wheat to make sure it was finished and then kegged it up. Used WLP 090 for the first time and I'm already a big fan.

 

[Pantherjon]

Yep, brew I bottled last night is now officially the Hair of The Cat Beer..More specifically The Hair Of Goku Beer!..LOL...Guess it makes for a comfy bed..

 

[mesooohoppy]

Gravity checked my pale

 

[ChelisHubby]

Kegged and bottled a batch of different blonde with a 5th or 6th generation yeast that brought it down to 10.06 Yikes but it is dry with very little aftertaste sorta like a lager. I picked the yeast in the trash now I am questioning that decision?

 

[philipCT]

Ran my climbing lines for the hops beds. All prepped now I'm gonna be anxious for the rhizomes to arrive...every day...

 

[slym2none]

I literally just dumped 3 oz of hops in for a dry-hop addition into my latest 2.5G batch, a red rye IPA. Half an ounce of Columbus, an ounce of Nelson, and 1.5oz of Mosaic - I am going for fruity & dank for this dry-hop addition.

 

[WisePrey]

Bottled my 3rd batch of Home brew, a coffee porter made from a Brewer's Best Pumpkin Spice Porter, without the pumpkin spice and instead dry hopped with whole coffee beans and 1oz of Northern Brewer for 10 days. Drank half a bottle that was left, nice coffee flavor on the back end of the beer. First of my 3 home brews that really tasted nice un-carbonated on bottling day.

 

[brhenrio]

Started a starter for a smash I'm doing tomorrow.

 

[thenugsmoustache]

Kegged a rye IPA, my first time kegging! And the empty fermentor was just begging to be filled, so I made a red IPA.

 

[Murphys_Law]

Pretty busy last two days of "not brewing". I cleaned and organized my beer closest. Cleaned a bunch of bottles. Organized my bottles (yes, they are all now sorted by type now!), bought ingredients for my next beer (a pils), gravity tested my hefe, and cleaned a spent keg. I'll bottle later this week and the first brew day will hopefully come this weekend.

 

[Tactical-Brewer]

Wooo!!! After about a month and a half delay, I've finally been able to pick up grain for a 5.5 gallon batch of ESB I'm going to brew this weekend!
