What I did for beer today

[HawksBrewer]

Debated whether or not to do a parti-gyle on my 11% vanilla oak bourbon stout that is getting brewed on Sunday. To parti-gyle or not to parti-gyle...

 

[davekippen]

In the process of washing and de-labeling 34 more bottles......... when will I start Kegging?????

 

[hophead44]

I drank a couple of my Oktoberfests I brewed a couple of months ago.

 

[BigPoppa502]

Gave 4 pints a new home....in meh belly!

Today I replaced the beer lines in my keezer, after finding out last night that the Bev-Seal Ultra I had in there for the last month or so is too rigid to be convenient.

I found out the hard way... I had been wondering why my pours were so bad and foamy for the last few days. Apparently I messed up a seal on Saturday because I had to wrench the hard tubing around to get a new keg to fit in there.... there was an inch of beer in the bottom of the keezer and it was coming out the drain.

Worked on some recipes, mainly a Belgian Blonde but lower abv and using some american c hops for a little citrus flavor. Thinking this will be my "summer" special that I share with everyone I just need to figure out what yeast to use. I also had one my friends drink one of my beers on Untappd which was pretty cool to see.

 

[JonM]

Changed the airlock on my Brandon O's Graff because, when I wasn't looking the krausen creeped up into the airlock. Haven't had that happen for a LONG time.

 

[sirmichael]

Bought an auto siphon and another bucket. Transferred a batch of wheat onto huckleberry purée for secondary.

 

[davekippen]

Cleaned up my first bottle bomb...

 

[naiek]

Racked my very first batch to secondary after 2 weeks in primary and dry hopped with 2 oz cascade flower. Also, converted a cooler into a mash tun

 

[Pilgarlic]

Racked to make room in a primary fermentor, then filled two fermentors in a two-brew day.

 

[gladius270]

Made my first brew ever today! Everything went about as smooth as it could, all of the numbers and measurements worked out well, and the yeast is already doing its thing (I think).

It appears that I may have happened into an extra plastic Ale Pail by way of a packaging mistake, as my kit came with two regular Ale Pails, no bottling bucket. Might be working on my second batch earlier than anticipated!

 

[g2rnewton]

Brewed my spring beer, an Irish red ale....

 

[BigPoppa502]

I set up and converted my old chest freezer into my new ferminting/lagering chamber and got my German Pilsner in the new digs... Currently 30 min into the boil of my SWMBO's "Scooby's Brown Ale" -which aught to be an interresting batch seeing as how I am chucking a packet of Safale US-05 into the mix with the European Ale liquid yeast... we'll see how it goes.

I spent ANOTHER day reading up on eBrewing, with plans to start working on the switch (punny!) this year.

I also bought parts to build a hop spider a la Li'l Sparky and cleaned out a carboy after racking my Saison to keg (last week. Yikes!)

Tomorrow I'm picking up a Mr. Beer fermenter for a few bucks so I can start experimenting with small batches.

I'm excited about this phase of my brewing. Confident enough about my skills, but still so much out there to explore!

 

[Qhrumphf]

Reading Ray Daniels' "Designing Great Beers" on the bus back from NYC. Dry hopping my English IPA when I get home.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Racked 10 gallons of bock to kegs and then scrubbed out my 38-cubic-foot lagering freezer so the bock would have a nice clean place to live for the next 7 weeks. It needed it- it was getting pretty gross.

 

[stellaontap]

I worked on my new brew rig this morning and I am having a homebrew right now.:cross:

Gotta get this thing done because pipeline is quickly disappearing.

 

[jesse55lv]

Bottled 5 gallons of milk stout, capped them with wax, and then watched the first season of Californication. Life win.

 

[OlatheSurferDude]

I told myself that until I got my taxes filed I would not brew anymore beer for motivation to get them done. Therefore I filed my taxes finally tonight!

 

[kman6234]

Took a gravity reading on my APA and then dry hopped it w/1.25 ounces of cascades

 

[dcHokie]

Tonight, I sanitized a keg to rack a Hobgoblin clone, blended a few batches for my quasi-solera project, I'm in the midst of corking & bottling about 17 gallons of sour/funky beers, and drinking an Oud Beersel Gueze....naturally, the better-half is out of town.

 

[nelgbot]

Ask not what beer can do for you but what you can do for beer.. I organized my beer utilities and now bbqing a chicken lovin my sweet choco stout! Yeeeeeaaaahhh boi!

 

[BrewinHooligan]

I woke up at 5 am to pitch yeast on the batch I brewed last night and couldn't get down to pitching temps before 11pm. I need to ask for a wort chiller for Father's Day.

 

[brewfish]

Took gravity readings, and bought grains for a parti-gyle brew tomorrow

 

[Rockape66]

Trying to decide what style to brew this weekend.

 

[dalkster323]

Racked Octoberfest to Secondary now figure out what to brew next before I run out of my American Amber in the keg.

 

[JonM]

Drank a couple Bell's Third Coast Beers just so I could harvest the yeast. Such a sacrifice ...

 

[stbnj]

Bottled a gallon of beer I pulled off when racking my wheat to secondary for the blueberry treatment. I dry hopped it with citra, great aroma off it. Just did it because with the 4 pounds of blueberries I could not fit it all in the 5 gallon carboy. I also picked up some Scottish yeast for a rye brown ale I am planning to split between 002 and the scottish yeast.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Racked 5 gallons of oatmeal stout to secondary and added bourbon-soaked oak chips. Can't wait for this to be done!
