Me, too (not today -- when the entries opened. I'm catching up).
What I did do today was move the Hubig's Revenge out into the garage to start cold lagering after carbing for 2 weeks in the house (around 70º).

Your hop bag looks suspiciously like bacon...
Kegged an Irish Red Ale. Brewed step 3 of a dry Irish stout recipe.
Kegged my Munich Dunkel today! Man is it already very tasty, even flat, yeasty, and not melded yet. This one is gonna be a dandy!

Put together my latest Hop Dropper configuration, this one for a Flex+ I'm using on loan for a year or so. 4" to 3" adapter at the bottom to fit the Flex+ 4" port. Replaced a clear sight glass (and all its fiddly rods and cap nuts) with a straight SS pipe.
Bought an InkBird. Just turning an old freezer into a fridge for now, but I'll use it for a fermentation chamber eventually.

It goes on top of a conical fermenter, with the butterfly valve open, and a spunding valve (serving as an airlock) on top. When it's time to dry hop (or drop in any sort of ingredient), the butterfly valve is closed, the cap is removed, hops (or whatever) are added, cap is re-installed, CO2 source is attached, pipe is purged with CO2 (alternating pressurize/release cycles), CO2 source is removed, butterfly valve is opened (dropping hops into fermenter), spunding valve is replaced.
Basically, the closed fermenation says closed.

I had a jar of 3711 yeast from last March, made a starter and it woke up and had vigorous action on the stir plate within twelve hours, added additional starter twice and cold crashed it, so that I can put some back up and brew on Friday or Saturday. I was surprised how fast it woke up.
Brewed a IIPA Azacca for the AHA brew competition.

Wanted to brew last couple 'o days but life keeps getting in the way . BUT I did plant a hop rhyzome today and a Muscadine .
LOL , that's what I was thinking ... impressive...don't know what it is but it's impressive.My Lord ! Are you brewing beer or making a Star Trek planetary probe !?!!
So in my profession ( Deep sea diver) you made a Med lock . A med lock is what we use to pass food and supplies to the divers who are living under pressure in a saturation diving system .
Awesome that you malt your own barley .

i panicked when the devil, i mean InBev bought Miller/Coors, too...figured they'd be coming after my malt next....and the aquistion of NB would tell me my fears were well founded....

InBev owns Northern Brewer ?
you didn't know that? i learned to malt late 2015 when they bought miller/coors, and they bought NB in early 2016....then sold it to some investment firm, probably under their umbrela..
the sad facts More beer is hippy pot growers, and NB is macro brew....drug DEALERS are the worst....that's why i like drinking!

Well I knew northern Brewer was buying out the other HB shops like AIH and Austin etc. but didn't know they were InBev .
I've just got back into homebrewing so am out of the loop . There was no internet when I was doing this before .
I just bought my **** from the local hardware store that had a homebrew section.

Not since August of 2019 when they unloaded it to Blackstreet Capital Holdings...

It was this weekend, but I planted 2 Pinot Noir vines, 2 NeoMex, and 2 Saaz. They should be fine here in L.A., as normally the last frost we get in our neighborhood is the first week of February.
I ordered a 4 pack of funky yeasts from Bootleg

I transferred my one gallon Mandarin Orange Melomel onto 6 oz fresh squeezed Mandarin Orange juice today. This an experimental batch to see if it will self carbonate using a spunding valve for the next 14 days. After the initional 14 days the spunding valve will be removed to continue fermenting slowly while capturing the carbonation. It currently taste great. I can't wait till it has aged 6 months. At that time I'll adjust carbonation as needed. I'm shooting for a semi dry sparkling melomel.

Delivered approximately 100 entrants' worth of beer to the Covert Hops Peach State Brew Off, for sorting and tagging.
is that an easter egg in that?
Bottled the smoked porter, checked sg on the Scottish ale.
Ordered some hops including the pink boots blend, since the nearest brewery that collaborated is a 2 hour drive and half of it hellish with congestion.

Not an Easter egg but a pre-Superbowl TV upgrade. TVs seem to be inflation-proof.

Checked on the WF lager I made yesterday; it's going a bit slow, possibly because I have a pressure lid on it. Valve is wide open, don't have the gauge on it yet, but it's not going as crazy as it usually does with an airlock or blowoff. Also checked the mead from yesterday as well; fermenting this one on Lutra for an experiment, and it's already slowed waaaaaaay down from the frenetic pace it started out with. Going to add some more fermax to it in a bit.
And got back not long ago from taking the oldest dog on her final journey. Was peaceful and quick, with us both there telling her how much we love her. My eyes are going to be puffy for a while. Young dog got lots of treats and love when we got home, she's a bit confused but we hope she'll be okay. Going to see how she does as an only dog for a while, as neither of us have any vacation available to acclimate a new dog into the family.

It's a painful thing. Done it more than I care to think about. Drink a few beers in her honor.
Catching up... poured 2.5 gallons of apple juice on the yeast cake of the smoked porter I bottled Saturday. Yesterday added 1# dark brown sugar, sealed fv. It's chugging away happily today.
