What I did for beer today

[TheEagleRising]

Tossed in 2oz of Ella for my 2nd dry hop. Another week and its keg time

 

[Brewbuzzard]

Packed up 19 bottles of various styles of my HB and two bottles of my brew buddy's hotter than hell sauce. To send to a friend that moved to bumbfukegypt as a sanity care package.

Brewed a Hopslam clone yesterday and saved the final runnings for today... Today I began the process of stepping up Chimay yeast from the dregs of a couple different bottles of Chimay.

As someone who lives overseas... What a great gift! Even though it's getting better, it's still hard to find good/new/unique craft beer. And it's even harder to find good American style hot sauce. Your friend is lucky to have you!

Radisson Blu hotel, Al-Sharma district, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Label the bottles as balsamic vinegar, and they might get thru customs.


Not really, I'm flying home Saturday.
(And I'll be flying Sunday!)

Labeled and packed my entries for nationals.

Transferring cream ale for my father in law's birthday party.

Bought my first sack of grain. Is this when this hobby starts saving me money?

Yes and no

Picked up the RO water for tomorrow's brew day.

told myself about the same story. Figures if I bought in bulk the saving would pay for the mill in less than a year.

Take hand sanitizer and don't rub your nose or eyes on the flight...

We’re at the city house for a few days and it’s warm enough to brew in the garage. So, I went to the LHBS and picked up the ingredients for a Kölsch. I’ll have to get water and make sure I have enough propane in the morning.

Well, I'm back in the USA. But my bag is in Saudi arabia., And I gotta pee. 18 hours in the air, and still got one flight to go.

Welcome back! [emoji482]
That is a long trip.

 

[Dave Sarber]

At home now, caught up on all the mail (2 keepers, and 2 pounds of trash). Don't think I could even finish a beer without passing out. Catch everybody tomorrow, for more weird science brewing.

 

[Novacor]

Not today but March 1st, 2015 I upgraded from Mr. Beer and brewed my first 5 gal. batch. The rest is history!

Happy Anniversary, Mr Beer commercials got me interested in brewing, though I had never gotten one of their kits.

I just checked gravity on 2 that are just about done and added dry hops to one of them, I hope it gets that extra something it needs from that. Also washed about a dozen bottles.

Cleaned brew room after brewing yesterday and now just drinking beer.
May take a nap on the hammock in the back yard...

 

[Staticsouls]

Started a cold crash on a new set up that allows me to keep co2 on it while it chills out.

 

[fourfarthing]

Brewed, bottled, cleaned (x5)

 

[seatazzz]

Kegged the Sabro/Citra/Mosaic IPA I brewed two weeks ago. Not super happy with the flavor; either something went wrong (first time in a long while fermenting in a bucket, and I know the lid didn't seal) or I just screwed up somewhere. It's technically a good beer, just not what I wanted. We'll see how it tastes after carbonation.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Weighed out my grist for a brew day tomorrow. Also, registered for a competition.

 

[MentalThinking]

I’m sure there’s a better way, but I haven’t figured it out yet.

Perhaps some etching cream would solve the problem?

It's not paint, but it might count as a 'better way' - you could likely use it and then paint the etching, curing it as you are now, without the issue of stencil tearing?

 

[Pkrd]

Keged a couple of brews last night and chilled them today. Loaded them in the kegerator tonight (because I kicked two on Sunday).

Then realised that Mrs Pkrd is having a work BBQ on the weekend so pulled them both out again, hooked up the CO2 and shook the bejesus out of them.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

The boil and first hop addition for Grodziskie variation. Because delicious plain old oak smoked wheat beer is not fun enough.

So I tapped this yesterday. Didn't have high hopes because of what it tasted like out of the fermenter...but apparently I have a magic keg. Huge pineapple nose & flavor, with kind of an elusive coconutty flavor as well; don't get it with every sip but it's there. Actually turned out quite nice.

Never judge a beer before its finished.

True, dat!
