What I did for beer today

[unionrdr]

Seeing as how it's day 11, just leaving it bee till it finishes & drops clear or slightly misty should turn out virtuous. Tinkered with fine tuning the scope set up on my new Winchester magnum air rifle. Mumme still conditioning...

Man, it seems like there is always something to do/tinker regarding beer!

This week I soaked/cleaned bottles, had to mop up about a gallon of Hefe that I found sitting in the bottom of my kegger due to a leak on the beer line (RIP, hefe!), bottled a jalapeno cream ale, cleaned and re-organized my beer closet, took inventory of my hops, did another boil off test on my new kettle, and bought grains for an upcoming porter.

With luck I'll actually be able to brew said porter on Sat!

Got grains and yeast for a barleywine/mild partigyle.

Added shelf standards for an accessory shelf to hold my tablet when I am brewing. Need to cut a piece of shelf material tomorrow then mount the reading stand to hold it at an angle.

 

[bendog15]

Hooked up an stc-1000 temp control unit on a fridge for some random guy I didn't even know. Just because he was a home brewer.

Took a gravity reading on my Oktoberfest/Marzen. Down to 1.024, from 1.060 after 6 days, so raised the temp for a D-rest. Beersmith's FG estimate was 1.018, but hoping to get to at least 1.016 (I used WLP820, but after reading mixed reviews, not so sure it will get much lower than 1.018) Hoping to bottle this next weekend.

Now I'm heading to Raleigh Brewing Co. to have a beer in the tap room, and browse through Atlantic Brew Supply while I am there to see if there is any gadgetry I want to buy.

 

[MidAtlanticBrew]

turned the temperature of the fermenter my Oktoberfest is in temperature up from 51 to 55 F. Posting pics of HB equipment I don't to craiglist

 

[Devon]

Racked my RIS to secondary for aging, brewed a batch of BM's Centennial Blonde with some added honey to boost the gravity I lost on poor efficiency.

 

[mrkrausen]

Just finished kegging 10 gallons my attempt at a 4 Hands Reprise like beer. Dry hopped both with 3 ounces of centennial. Also kegged about 5 gallons of Apfelwein that is 8 months old. A mixture of patience and laziness has netted some pretty tasty wine. Can't wait to try it sparkling. Maybe tomorrow I can bottle the other 5 gallons that I'm going to leave still.

I got this little set up working to push sanitizer through my dirty kegs

Filled my first growler out my keg so I could share with friends.

 

[kman6234]

Kegged a saison this morning

 

[Brewenstein]

Kegged my bourbon barrel aged quad. I will bottle it from the keg in a couple weeks.

Got another poster frame to mount labels on from my bottle collection. Neater & less clutter to dust this way...

 

[Dan]

Nothing endearing. Bought a 7cf chest freezer. The temp controls been sitting in a cabinet above our fridge. I need to complete it then get this freezer a fermentation chamber. Way busy or lazy. Jury's out

 

[Horseflesh]

I messed around with Beersmith, trying to get ready for my new electric brewing system. Had to change a bunch of settings and get into things I hadn't looked at in forever, or ever.

 

[CJ-3]

Got my starter going for Saturday's brew day!

 

[Brownalemikie]

What I did for beer today? I'm doing the best possible thing for beer.....I'm DRINKING it. Caribou Slobber to be exact

 

[govner1]

Weighed out the grains for my next brew, Grapefruit Wheat IPA; cleaned keg

 

[tgif]

I'm in the process of brewing a barleywine/mild partigyle.

 

[Horseflesh]

This morning I took a sample from my Brewmaster Bucket, but when I rotated the racking arm, it started to leak! I turned the fitting the other way and got it to a slow drip, but I had to rush to rack my cyser into a carboy before going to work. Fortunately I was at FG.

I think the yeast tried to unscrew the nut on the inside and kill themselves.

 

[jleiii]

I day dreamed about having more time, and space, to brew....does that count?

 

[sleepspeaking]

Got a starter going for my first 10g batch

Cold crashing my starter for this weekend's brew day.

 

[catdaddy66]

Just got 4 pint glasses and a long handled spoon. And a ten gallon pot!!

40 quarts is just way cooler than 30...

 

[BeardedBeerMan]

Brewed up a batch of my bourbon barrel stout requested by my sister for after her baby is born. I guess it's a good sign when one of your brews is requested!

 

[MaryB]

Bottled 10 gallons of my own recipe english style ale. Samples tasted good so see how it is carbed and cold in 7-10 days or so.

 

[Cincybeer]

Built some shelves to go in the basement to hold my brew stuff.

 

[Yeastieboy]

First I drank a bunch. Racked my house pale onto fresh Cascade. Bleached a bunch of odds and ends after a recent sour bottling fest.
