What I did for beer today

[shawshank24]

Started drawing up plans for my first brew stand and checked the order tracking for all the beer stuff i ordered the other night.

 

[Horseballs]

Went to buy 2 carboys from a guy on craigslist, ended up coming home with three. Guess it's time to bulk age a big stout or something

 

[troyp42]

Brought some grains for my next brew, a Irish red Ale, and some PBW and soaked my copper manifold in it.

Made a swamp cooler because my temp controlled freezer is full and I wanted to brew another batch tomorrow. Took my saison off the heater and set it aside for now. Cleaned up some bottles, made a starter of pacman. Made sure all my AG gear is clean and ready to go in the morning. Crushing my grains a bit later today I think.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Just got my grains for my next brew, Belgian strong ale, and a few more goodies from AHS. I need to pick a day this weekend to brew. Too much stuff going on on Memorial Day weekend.

Monday, brewed an Arrogant Bastard clone and made a 1.029 beer with some leftover hops form third runnings.
Yesterday, brewed a small batch of Saison, just to grow some yeast for future brews. I made my first true mistake and accidentally doubled the late hop additions. Maybe I'll call it a west coast saison. Finished the day with a trip to the thrift store where I got two nonic glasses for $2. They also had some set of dimpled steins and pilsener glasses, but we've got no more room in the cabinets, and the basement is already full of brewing crap. Including the pilsener I brewed a week and a half ago, that's 4 different beers fermenting and two glasses--I'm on a beer streak. It's good to be done with school!

 

[TwiggyTwig]

Stopping by my LHBS to buy more caps, and ingredients to brew another hefe. First one came out fantastic.

 

[Meatyboy]

Got 24 750ml EZ-top swing top bottles in the mail, put the tops on them. Now waiting with baited breath for my brew kit to show up tomorrow.

 

[dcHokie]

Kegged 2 batches, added a healthy dryhop to a half-full keg already on tap, and pulled out a few old barleywines to chill for weekend guests.

 

[naiek]

Washed 4.5 cases of bottles and loaded dishwasher for sanitizing - yes they all fit- bottling ~10 gallons (wee heavy) tomorrow
Made 2 yeast starters and hand cranked (need to upgrade drill) ~20 lbs of grain, brewing (10 gallons American amber) Saturday.
Just sat down to enjoy a homebrew (PTE clone)

 

[kitchensqueen]

I'm on here reading about beer. Also checked on my order from Amazon for a digital scale - it shipped today!

 

[chuckholding]

[DisturbdChemist]

Last night put my first starter in the fridge to cold crash then going to make another 2L starter tonight let that run then cold crash till brew day either sunday or monday

 

[jmprdood]

Bottled an extract stout - last of the extracts for a while - doing exclusively BIAB for the near future

 

[bigebrewer]

Ordered the kit for a honey ale and purchased a beer thief so I can check the readings on my batch sitting in my primary. It is going to be a long 5 weeks until this first batch is ready for consumption.

 

[Bubba]

made a starter for my Hammy IPA.

 

[davekippen]

Racked my cider to the secondary, added p sorbate and back sweetened with a brown sugar and cinnamon mixture. This is my first try at a cider and I need to get it right before fall.

That sounds tasty...should be a real hit for Christmas, served warm.

 

[jmprdood]

Crushed my grain bill, weighed my hops, and staged my stuff. Brewing tomorrow baby!!

I put my keezer back together.

I had it taken apart last weekend for a weeding. I used the shanks, faucets, and CO2 setup on a Krute copy. I was out of town all last week, so today is the first chance I've had to throw it back together.

I am back to four beers on tap at the house:

1) Dry Irish Stout
2) Biermuncher's Centennial Blond
3) Chocolate Milk Stout
4) Edwort's Apfelwein

I have back up kegs of the Chocolate milk stout and Apfelwein, but besides that, my pipeline is dry. I need to get to work, soon...

I kegged a strawberry blonde. I brewed a citra IPA that I pitched onto the yeast cake of wlp007 from the blonde, don't worry add the strawberry extract in the keg. I also tapped my first keg, no fridge yet so I threw it on ice just to see how it works. I had put a batch in that I wasn't thrilled with, it was only a 2.5 gallon keg. Worked really well and it was awesome pulling my beer out of a tap. I even filled a growler to take to a party tomorrow.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Brewed 10 gallons of Bitter (2 5 gallon batches), and now it's off to the beer bar.

 

[g2rnewton]

Drank lots of my home-brews with some of my best friends...

 

[Bubba]

stepping up a starter for an IPA ill be brewing on memorial day

 

[jtkratzer]

Checked for visual signs of fermentation on the 10 gallon batch I brewed yesterday.

 

[Dawnhulio]

Ok, catching up from yesterday :

*went to Rogue garage sale, scored 3 cases of beer for hella cheap
*bought CO2 set up to start kegging
*brewed a batch o' beer

It was a good day for beer-kind.

 

[Daybis]

Drinking plenty of homebrew and brewing up a robust porter.

 

[TobiasIsQueenMary]

I woke up and bottled our Centennial Blonde....good way to start a Sunday!

 

[kitchensqueen]

Scaled down an American red ale recipe and placed an order with Midwest for more ingredients.

Was going to brew this weekend, but am waiting for our new digital scale to arrive - should be here in time for next weekend.
