What I did for beer today

[Skeeter686]

My replacement chest freezer arrived, so I removed the collar from the old one, scraped off the silicone that I'd used for securing it to the old freezer, and attached the collar to the replacement. While the silicone was curing, I cleaned all the faucets, shanks, fittings, beer lines, etc.

Looking forward to pouring cold beer again!

Brewing up a blonde today, and got to thinking; might need a special celebration beer around end of October because baseball. What better beer to try to clone than Scuttlebutt's Big Dumper? They list what they use on their website, will be doable. If I do it next Sunday, will have some lagering time before the Big Week. Not going to jinx it by saying more!!

After 11 and 12 days respectively the two hazy batches I've been running are ready for a 48 hour 50°F soft-crash prior to dry hopping. I put all four carboys on low top pressure (~0.4 psi) CO2 providing by a pair of in-line BBQ regulators (hiding behind the bottle holder) to obviate any chance of pulling in O2, and set the controllers to do their thing...

Cheers!

Today I am cold-crashing a Pilsen/Citra SmAsH for a club project. Being the laziest person I know, this is one of my favorite parts of homebrewing. Just connect the CO2 to the fermentor, sit back, and watch as the temperature falls.
