What I did for beer today

[MisterPhoton]

Right now I'm a little over halfway through the boil on a Scottish Heavy 70/- that I'm hoping to enter in a club Scottish and Irish ales contest next month. The peated malt in it smells fantastic!

 

[quadmx08]

Bottled 5 gallons of an American Amber, and made my first attempt at yeast "washing". It was my first recipie from brewing classic styles. Also brewed a gallon version of the English bitter from brewing classic styles.

 

[JonM]

Racked a gallon of skeeter pee and started another batch on the yeast cake, then made a starter for a lawnmower beer I'll make this weekend (hopefully.)

 

[Darwin18]

Built a planter box for my hops and finished my keezer. Pretty solid weekend.

 

[BigPoppa502]

Ordered my new keg setup last night. Going to convert a fridge to a kegerator. Tonight i Bottled round two of our Belgium Wit ... Hope it's as good as the first!

Cleaned some bottles, and racked my summer wheat onto cucumbers in secondary. Cant wait to try this one out!

Went to morebeer. Bought some ingredients for another ten gallons of Bier munchers Blonde. Hop garden ready to go.

 

[thisoneguy]

Bought some stuff:
55 lbs CMC 2-Row Pale Malt
50 lbs Briess 2-Row Brewers' Malt
5 lbs Thomas Fawcett Amber Malt (for the DFH90 clone :rockin
5 lbs White Wheat Malt
2 packets Notty
2 packets S-04
1 packet US-05
8 oz. Amarillo

Got the first of two steps for a WLP007 starter on the stir plate so the yeast is ready for Sunday's DFH90 brew day.

First attempt at plating and slanting yeast, using what was left in the tube of the WLP007 after pouring it into my starter. Tried for one plate and two slants, but we'll see if it works.

Going to dry hop my IIPA and try my first hand at washing some yeast. Yeehaww!

 

[chefcurt]

Planning my brew-cation. I took next week off and I'm brewing three beers! A california common, a breakfast stout and a 10 gallon batch of biermunchers centennial blonde. Also I built a smaller 5 gallon mash tun for some of the smaller beers I like to make.

 

[duboman]

Had a conversation with our server at dinner about not serving my Half Acre Brewing "Daisy Cutter" in a frosted glass.

 

[dcHokie]

Kegged 3 beers, wired up a temp controller for the keezer, and drew out plans for my closeline-style hop trellis build.

Snuck a taste of my oktoberfest at 3 weeks.
Going to be good!

 

[JonM]

Cold crashed my 1L starter of Bell's House Yeast (that's right!) in prep for my next brew.

 

[jmprdood]

Sanitized my bottles and caps for tomorrow!

 

[aubiecat]

Opened the box I received from Austin Homebrew Supply.

 

[purplehaze]

I'm ashamed to say I sniffed the air lock on my 10 gallons of my chocolate porter today... several times.

I also paid for my bulk group grain buy today and sketched a few different designs for a mash paddle.

 

[Xtant]

Made a CFC based off Bobby's tutorial...

 

[beerhound]

Cleaned and refurbished three corny's I picked up in the last few weeks and assembled my Co2 and tap lines. Going to keg for the first time tomorrow, Arctic Blonde
Oh, had a few home brews :cross:

 

[jotakah]

Planted 3 hop rhizomes -- Nugget, Centennial, Cascade

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Contemplated kegging the sahti but made a complicated dinner and got tired.

Had a pumpkin ale I forgot about that's been in the corner of the fridge for four months.

 

[Dawnhulio]

Put together my cooler kits for AG and bought three used Corny’s for kegging.

Those are some big jumps! Congrats

 

[EllisTX]

I planted 3 rhizomes last night and I'm going to get some RO water for brewing in a few days.

I planted 3 rhizomes last night and I'm going to get some RO water for brewing in a few days.

My goal for the year is to make the jump to full boils then AG. If I get that accomplished, I'd like to try my hand at growing hops, next year....

 

[duboman]

I just sampled my Anchor Steam Clone after 1 week in the bottle. Mild to adequate carbonation, very pleasant Northern Brewer hop aroma in a beautiful dense head, nice lacing, slightly less bitterness than desired but no off favors with my well controlled fermentation. All in all I expect this to improve greatly when sampled again next week!

 

[Bubba]

changed out my co2 tank in the kegerater and brewed a batch of ipa with maris otter

 

[unionrdr]

Gotta bottle up the Summer shandy today. Cleaned up a few more bottles. Got a case of APA in the fridge a few days ago for my b-day today. Can't wait to crack'em later.

 

[dchmela]

Brewing a Saison for the Spring, just waiting for the wort to boil.

Once bittering hops go in, going to keg a 10% Tripel I made a month ago.

If there is time, bottling a oak and cherry aged Tripel.

Ipod shuffle is doing some weird things, just went from Slayer "Reign in Blood", to Sinatra "Chicago" and now Henry Rollins "Earache my Eye".
