I think you misunderstood - it just went onto the wood chips today. I tasted the dregs after racking, so no contact with the wood, but maybe I was just tasting a lot of yeast and whatever hop material made it into the fermenter.

Gotcha. I thought you dumped the rum and the wood chips In the beer, like a tincture as the rum would have extracted the tannin from the chips already so you would have tasted it immediately if that happened.
That said if you’re tasting yeasty dregs, it def will come off bitter. I’m sure you’ll be fine after aging on the chips
Still a real good point even if it's not applicable in this case. Unfortunately, I'm sure I won't remember this when I need to.

Move my kolsch style beer to keg, tasted like should turn out pretty good. In the carboy it looked way too dark but in the hydro tube it seems about right.

Geeze ! Do you like a little beer with your hops ?
. Wanted to tell you, last weekend at this new taphouse they have Von Trapp pilsner and Dunkel ! First time I ever saw it here in Michigan and it's really a decent beer.

Turned out very well 5 hrs grain in till clean up!
Tested a new diy glycol chiller build tonight. Got tired of switching frozen jugs of water on my last lager. cooled water quickly, but froze up the evaporator. Glycol should be here Thursday.
Dry hopped my APA last night and while doing that, the brew jacket rod and sleeve slipped out of the bung … bam into the fermonter. Ef ef ef. Starsan on my hands I reached into grab the unsanitary end which did not touch the beer, rinsed and dried it throughly. I had recently cracked my 3 gallon fmonster so I checked for a leak on this one. Whew, I only felt dampness from condensation. I should probably post this in don’t do that. This should go into a keg today.

Brewed my first raw ale today, Kornol. Made a juniper infusion too, my kitchen smelled like a Christmas tree. Could definitely pick up the juniper in the sample I’m excited to see how it turns out.
Did some house cleaning, upgraded my brew cart,by making my power supply for my steam trap part of the stand,put away some equipment I no longer use, and made my R/O water for next weeks brewday then ordered my grain bill for a spiced holiday whit beir... now I've cracked open an Octoberfest for a afternoon of football watching.
Kegged the Altbier I brewed a couple of weeks ago at the city house.
Drank the very last bottle of my bourbonated imperial stout. Brewed in January, bottled in mid-February, it was pretty harsh until late June. Tasted AMAZING late July. Was saving the last bottle for weeks and weeks until I couldn't wait any more...
Sadly, it's not as good as it was back in July (tho certainly not bad). I suspect it's oxidation creeping in -- I'm using plastic buckets, and was still unable to resist peeking in the bucket when this one was brewing.

Nothing wrong with taking a look - in most instances.

Drank home-brew while I sat through a mandatory online training, after hours, without compensation.
gave away a few 3gal cornys i was no longer using to a fellow home brewer that works at the same brewery as my wife. felt good to get back some space and pay it forward too.
Brewed the base brown ale for 12BOC. Gonna make a tincture and add a bottling since adding the spices in the boil at 10 minutes per the recipe didn't turn out like I wanted it. We'll see!
"I know it's your time off, but you only live a couple miles away and we don't ask this of you all of the time, but can you..." 17 years and counting.Yeah, but you have summers off.
Have the day off so brewing up a british brown ale.
Base is maris otter with some victory, caramel/crystal, brown malt, and pale chocolate.
East Kent golding hops and Omega ESB yeast.
Should be good for fall weather moving in

Pulled a small sample of the wet hopped Kolsch. I think I’ll be making hop tea as the bitterness could be better not really a surprise there, and it’s about 2/3 the way to being done according to the SG and taste.
