What I did for beer today

[BeerNsteadofH2O]

Dry hopped a citra/mosaic IPA.
Ran my RO water and set the profile for my brew and sparge water for tomorrow's brew.

Okay last image of this yeast, we can easily see why a “top crop” harvest is recommended.

Was really bored (pun intended) yesterday afternoon and made a bottle holder for 200ml pony bottles I use for small batches of cider, etc. This will come in handy when I bottle the upcoming batch of limoncello I'll be making.

I just used recycled oak boards from an old shelf I had cut apart and drilled with a 2-1/8" forstner bit in a drill press.

The black IPA kicked (I'm going to miss that one) so I cleaned the beer line. There's a full keg in the basement but I'm not going to hook it up until it conditions for another week or so.

Doing a quick extract pale lager. I hope the fermcap earns its keep.
I wanted to use all of the remaining dme and the gigawort has very limited space

So far so good.

So how come they don't call it boilcap?

Well, I just got a new Fermzilla Conical, brewed yesterday and was doing a trub dump before pitching and was not paying attention and removed the wrong tri clamp. 6 gallons of west Coast Pilsner all over my garage floor.

I hate brewing lol.

On national beer day-No bueno! We do feel your pain..there will better days..

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Kegged my Summer Lightning into 19 litre corny.

I got everything cleaned and am brewing for the first time since I moved in back at the end of January. Got the old school gravity system back in order.

 

[Wigglebutts Brewery]

busy weekend @ Wigglebutts Brewery

Saturday we mashed up 4 gal of starter wort @ 1.060 and ran 24 - 24oz jars through the pressure canner. There were 4 jars that didn’t seal cleanly so they got done again on Sunday. Should be good for awhile with our frozen yeast process.

Sunday we brewed 5 gal of Flamingo Pale Ale with 8oz of mosaic hops. The West Coast yeast was started on the stir plate Thursday. The fermentation was vigorous on Monday AM.

Finally on Monday we knocked out a batch of Wigglebutts biscuits from spent grains for the brewing team. Head brewer Tinker is monitoring the mash temperature in this picture…

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Yesterday I brewed a Timothy Taylor Landlord clone
3300g Maris otter
100g Torrefied wheat
40g Roast Barley
30g EKG at 60m
26g Fuggles at 15m
20g Styrian Golding at 0m
Nottingham style yeast

Very casual beer day but got 'er done.

1) ET's Red Bicycle, 5 g batch, an Irish Red that finished day 5 of the cold crash, was taken out of the inkbird freezer and moved to the "on deck circle" inside the keezer and beginning to carb. Probably go into service in a week when tap 5 kicks (Amber Ale)
2) took a gravity reading for the weekend batch of young stout. Mostly finished, about 98% of the way to reaching expected ABV after 3 days. (US-05)
3) cleaned a few glasses with the new foam brush that makes my glasses sparkle with cleaniness.
4) put a self closing spring onto the Nukatap faucet. Works great. Easy.

No plans for brewing this weekend... Since I already have about a lot of suds in the pipeline.

 

[BeerNsteadofH2O]

Low key day for beer, had a few things planned, got out of work and lost all ambition, had dinner and decided to take a peek at my latest brew,, my original fermenter is see through, plastic, I dont use it alot, but I've got 3 brews going, trying to stock up before fishing season..
Nice being able to look in on the magic, then put the wrap back on to insulate and protect from light

 

[Hoochin'Fool]

Bottled 2.7 gallons of Yooper's Oatmeal Stout (tastes delicious already), gonna dump a 1.095 beer on top of the yeast cake, soon as I get it boiled and cooled.

 

[Willy]

Well, I am going to package up Louie The Lip Lager tomorrow, day 14. So... Being lazy and doing nothing for beer today except focus on samples and taste profiles for future recipes. Tough job, but somebody has to do it.

 

[OddNotion]

Bought grains and yeast for my next 2 batches.

Citra/Apollo NEIPA
Split batch of Saison and Pale Sour using some ECY 08 and ECY 20 I picked up back in Feb

 

[BeerNsteadofH2O]

Whole day committed to beer-
Took a trip to the local home brew store , picked up the needed malts,yeast and hops for tomorrow's Oatmeal stout brew, some how I came home with those ingredients and a 55lb. Sack of Maris Otter malt..
once home did a few little projects I've been.putting off, like installing a float and pump in a designated RODI storage tank, rearranging my brew cart to accommodate said tank, I installed an I bolt in the ceiling by my botteling station so i can use my ratcheting pulley system to lift my botteling bucket onto my botteling stand...Ithen sanitized 52 bottles and bottled an American IPA.,..then washed and sanitized( I left the starzan in the fermenter) the fermenter I took the IPA out of... i then set my water profile and crushed my grains for tomorrow's brew day..I took a shower and took my wife to dinner at the local Chinese restaurant, where we ran into our next door neighbors, (3 families) from both sides of the street, which lead to an invite to their house for a night cap, I brought an assortment of Irish red, Black Ipa and coffee porter. , I came home with 12 empty bottles-I guess they liked it- time to hit the rack for tomorrow's brew.

 

[leedspointbrew]

Processed grain for today's BPA. Cleaned, cleaned, cleaned.

 

[Willy]

Packaged up 2 corny kegs of Louie The Lip Lager, currently doing a CIP with PBW on the Spike CF-10. The beer looked fabulous, clear and clean and FG came in exactly where it was supposed to at 1.010 - yeah!

Corny kegs now go to the cold crash mode, day one set to 55°F . Can't wait to pour some, about 2-4 weeks minimum of lagering, 6 weeks for the 2nd corny keg.

Time to starsan the fermenter.

 

[Wigglebutts Brewery]

Swung by Dry Dock for a couple pints. Which got me in LHBS Brew Hut. Got favorable feed back on non alcoholic pale ale and used up a credit for a #55 bag of 2 row pale malt. Perfect errand!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Went to my LHBS 45 minute drive each way, picked up some new tall necks for entries and some honey, biscuit and crystal malts and a couple odds and ends. Checked on the cider and lager, too. Sometime this weekend I need to rack a mead and make a cinnamon stick tincture, for said mead.

 

[BeerNsteadofH2O]

Added my burbon, oak cube tincture to my wood aged ale this morning, and put it in the secondary( I know you guys hate carboys, sometimes it's the best option)
I have insulating cubes made for these occasions so i dont tie up my larger freezer, or a fermenter, I use the cool stix and a heating pad to provide heating or cooling as desired, ink bird controllers turn on the cooling or heat. I filled the air lock with vodka, I'll keep an eye on it for the next month while it ages.

 

[Brewsmith]

I was planning on brewing today, but the previous beer still needs another day or so, so I bought the ingredients for the next two beers. I was out of town for a few days and came back to a yeast clogged airlock. No explosions or splatter, but a big ballooned, pressurized system. I suspect the beer is done and it’s just off gassing, but I’ll give it a day before I keg and harvest the yeast for the next beers.

 

[leedspointbrew]

Dry hopped the Titanic BPA with .75 oz First Gold.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

[day_trippr]

Kicked two kegs in the last two evenings, today I swapped out and cleaned the kicks and swapped in freshies. No big whoop...

Cheers!

 

[day_trippr]

Was going to cook up this 1318 starter tomorrow but just decided to get it done tonight...

Cheers!
