What I did for beer today

[davekippen]

Bottled my Oberon clone (named Ober-rated). Cleaned up the brew area a little bit...

 

[Selfsufficient]

Inventoried ingredients, organized Beer Smith, made two recipes to get rid of older grain quickly, purchased new ingredients for the next month and watched an air lock bubble. Now I'm on a forum talking about it.......

 

[spearko520]

brewed a danish pils. decoction mash... yay! oh - flooded my kitchen twice (just water) filling pots and forgetting... TWICE!- that's a record. also started a wild apple banana ferment- one of the oak dowells from a lambic batch is jammed all up in there...

 

[thisoneguy]

Balanced the beer lines in my keezer, and replaced the blowoff tube from my DC's Wry Smile Rye IPA with an airlock now that fermentation has slowed down a bit.

 

[Skagdog]

Bought a pound of various hops and added them into Beersmith. LBHS rcvd a big shipment with all sorts of hops that haven't been locally available in 6-8 months....

 

[nelgbot]

Bottled the first batch of my own recipe of nelgs pale and cleaned about 80 bottles to bottle up my other pale tomorrow...had to clear my schedule for march no days off except for tomorrow..which of course will be brew day!

 

[Jayhem]

today I checked the temp on my fermenting Porter...still at a nice 65F at day 10!

I also washed 24 bottles and returned them to the bottle rack.

Decided to brew my Cream Ale kit this weekend.

 

[davidr2340]

Brewed my first SMaSH recipe, and kegged two beers!!!

I'm excited that my pipeline is finally getting up there!!!

 

[stbnj]

My parents dropped off a pound of honey from a local farm near the neighborhood I grew up. I will be using it in a saison. It was trade for me dog sitting for them, well that and a growler of beer from Carton Brewing.

 

[BrewinHooligan]

Went to the LHBS today and picked up some Centennial hops for dry hopping my current batch as well as some Simcoe since they were in stock along with some new bottle caps they got in and some priming sugar.

 

[sirmichael]

Took a gravity reading for my batch of huckleberry wheat. Been in secondary for 1 week.

 

[g2rnewton]

Added super clear agent to my Irish red....

 

[nelgbot]

What I did maybe it should be what I'm doing all day for beer!! Dragged myself outta bed hoper on the bus from san Jo to Los altos brew shop pick up ingredients for my "easy street wheat" clone now heading home to bottle my pale and brew my street wheat....ahhhh life is good can't wait to crack a stout!

 

[Pilgarlic]

Went to the LHBS and bought the supplies for a demonstration brewing class our club is doing for the public next week as part of Tampa Bay Beer Week. Updated all of the member email addresses and I'm about to send a promotional/newsletter email. Brew club activities cut into brewing a bit, but it's bringing lots of new people into the hobby, which is another kind of fun.

 

[BigPoppa502]

Brother and i went to local brewpub, had a couple pints, toured the brewhouse and got some behind the scenes looks at some really cool equipment! Went from there the the LHBS and got the stuf for our Belgium Wit (thats in the mash tun now) and a second round of a Kiltlifter clone. It's gonna be a good day tater!

 

[davis119]

got 2 2gl buckets to use a secondary fermenters. so i can add coffee and vanilla to my choco milk stout. and vanilla to my orange cream ale ("creamsicALE")

 

[Toymaker]

I racked a lager to secondary, brewed a Scotch ale and a Canadian Lager.

 

[msmith92]

Racked two hearted to secondary. Brewed lakefront fixed gear.

 

[weirdboy]

Transferred my RIS to a bourbon barrel...

 

[Gear101]

I drove 20 mins to get earth mags for my new stir plate?

 

[two_one_seven]

Stopped by my local brew pub to pick up a growler of silly pants stout.......mmm mmm good

 

[JonM]

Bottled my amber (Yooper's hoppy American amber recipe) and bottles some cider for a carbonation/pasteurization experiment. I bottled a gallon of very dry cider with different levels of sugar. I'll pasteurize them all in a couple days and see what level works the best.

 

[amingo]

Made a starter yesterday for the Tripel I'll be brewing tonight.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Took FG readings of my two batches in primary. Was going to bottle them and brew an IPA today, but it just didn't have time to do any of it. Might take a sick-day-brew-day this week and knock it all out then, otherwise next weekend.

 

[spearko520]

i've got air locks clacking all over - 10 gallons of lambic in the barrel (almost full- yay!) 5 gallons of flanders pale ale - racked my paddy stout and bottled some alt. the basque cider dregs i threw in my cider finally started rocking, too. whole lotta fermentin going on!

 

[thisoneguy]

Used my canner for the first time to prep some plates and slants. Also started growing some yeast for a Belgian IPA.

 

[amingo]

Babysat my exploding starter and am in the middle of brewing a Belgian Tripel.

 

[asidrane]

I brewed my first 10 gallon batch, a pale ale. I split the batch across two buckets and used s-04 and us-05. Should be interesting to do the side to side. I also got to use the awesome wort chiller that my wife got me, the 5/10 split from more beer

 

[MightyParched]

Started my first ever attempt at brewing. Used the West Coast Pale Ale w/Booster from Mr. Beer kit. Made sure everything was clean/sanitized before starting and made it thru the directions fairly easily. I can see how this could get costly... already looking at all the options from A to Z...

 

[LTownLiquorPig]

Well, on the weekend I spent some time taking part in my favourite part of this hobby. I emptied a dozen or so 500 ml bottles to get ready to fill again!

Edit: Oh yeah, checked gravity on my Pail Ale!
