What I did for beer today

[Stauffbier]

Built a platform for my new corona mill. That thing tears thru grain like a beast!

 

[jerryteague]

I drank a bunch of it today. Getting ready to make a starter for a Hefeweizen I'm going to brew tomorrow night.

 

[dr_sanch]

I paired it with two dishes it shouldn't have been paired with: Linguini in a cream sauce and then with strawberry shortcake! (Homemade Irish Stout)

 

[davekippen]

Bottled up my first Cider. Nuthin' bubbling or resting. 3 empty fermenters. I gotta get to work!

 

[amh61]

Bottled up my Belgian Witbier. Went to the LHBS and picked up a couple oz of Citra hops.

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

About to bottle my coffee brown. Also have a HBC meeting later

 

[kman6234]

Moved my fermenting saison from the basement to the second floor of my house to ramp up the fermentation temperature...

 

[jerryteague]

Made a 2L starter for a Hefeweizen that I have planned for the next couple of days. I may do another IPA too.

took a gravity reading for my belgian table beer
wondered why it's been at 1.014 for a week and didn't get down to the estimated 1.010
recalibrated my refractomer (off by about 0.5 brix)
beer's down to 1.009 and i'm not so mad anymore

 

[Channel66]

Transferred a black IPA over and added dry hops (love the smell of ahtanum in the evening) bottled some saison. The girls had fun marking the caps... guess saison= doodles on the caps (usually try to keep it a little more standardized, but these are getting labels anyhow and it kept them busy for awhile)

You will ALWAYS get an inaccurate reading from a refractometer with alcohol present in the mixture.

EDIT: double post sorry.

 

[jerryteague]

Just finished a batch of Hefeweizen. Now I REALLY want an immersion chiller. It took forever to chill the wort in an ice bath.

 

[boo boo]

Well I got my brewing liquor. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f85/how-make-iceberg-beer-333938/

 

[amh61]

I just finished a bottle of it. Good stuff! What kind of yeast did you use?

 

[punkrockdave]

Where to begin....... Bottled my ginger beer, washed said yeast from batch. Weighed grains for a Racer 5 IPA that I will make tomorrow. Made a starter yeast batch for said beer. Added a sliding rail system for my corona mill out of a full extension guide from the Home Depot. And to top it off a custom handle for the tap I made out of old growth mahogany.

 

[chuckstout]

Cleaned bottles for 3 batches of beer im going to bottle on saturday and also prepared a yeast starter for this weekend.

 

[dcHokie]

Savor Week rules, doesn't it?

 

[SkipperNC]

Kicked a keg of American wheat, cleaned one set of lines and faucet and put a Jamil's Evil Twin clone on the spare tap.

Ordered ingredients for three more beer brews and two cider batches. These should be a split between late summer and early autumn drinking.

 

[Stauffbier]

HUGE brew day! Bottled 3.5 gallons of IPA, bottled 1 gallon of Hard Chai Tea, Brewed 4 gallons of pale ale and pitched on half cake from IPA, prepped for tomorrow's 9 gallon Saison!

 

[punkrockdave]

Planted 4 hop plants. 2 fuggle a 2 colossal.

 

[davekippen]

Just moved a fridge into the garage to use for fermenting. Probably can only get one bucket in there at a time, but rarely have more than 2 buckets in active fermentation anyway. This should really help my beers!!!!

 

[kitchensqueen]

Set up the supplies and ingredients to work on our first beer after it cools off when the sun goes down - we're going to do a basic brown ale.

 

[eobie]

Just had the new fermentation chamber delivered!

 

[BrewChem]

Fed the hop garden with some 'mater food

Transferred a choco-stout and a belgian blonde to secondaries and started washing the yeast.

Drank a homebrewed porter

 

[Dawnhulio]

Dryhopped my Hopfen - Weisse. Removed the blow-off tube from the Dubbel.

 

[g2rnewton]

Dropped my yeast from my Hefeweizen primary.

 

[stbnj]

Put my Citra IPA into a corny for dry hopping. I bottled my Wit, which I may have used too much lemon and orange peel in as its very citrusy. I cleaned two cases of bottles and received a 2.5 lbs. co2 tank in the mail that I got for 15 bucks!

 

[ShackNasty]

Dry hopped my wheat IPA. Then drank ...
