What I did for beer today

[cdeme123]

Started cold crashing my Jack Daniels American Amber; cleaned my brewing equipment for tomorrow's brew and got the yeast starter going. Great day.

Husband and I just got our first beer into the fermenter about an hour ago. It was an awesome experience and it made the house smell pretty delicious. Now it's hurry it up wait until it's ready and we can see if we pulled it off.

Congrats & welcome to the game!!

I've found that the interminable wait for my new batch is best distracted by planning & brewing my next batch! Just sayin'...

Kicked a keg (Amarillo Blonde) by bottling up a sixer to age a little while, and just just tonight I filled up my HLT with filtered water and added a campden tablet and a tsp of Calcium Chloride for tomorrow's brew, a mild I have nicknamed "Brown Trout Stout"

 

[NineMilBill]

Bottled a gallon of Apfelwein - got 4 x 750ml bottles corked and 2 x 12oz's capped. Not bad. Also racked my JAOM (Mandarins & Craisins) to secondary. Smelled amazing like always.

Brewed a Racer5 IPA clone. 90 minute boils wreck yer stove top BTW.

Thanks! Yep, an American Red is up next And I've got a chestnut brown recipe that I want to adapt for hazelnuts... and I made the "mistake" of opening up my Midwest catalog and drooling over all the new kit I want... think I'll be able to pass the time.

Brew day today. Just about to sparge on a Surly Bender clone. Then it's a gravity check for my other brew in primary.

 

[usfmikeb]

Kegged up a chocolate stout, apfelwein, and a hefeweizen. Made another batch of apfelwein, just started the sugar syrup for skeeter pee, and coming to boil right now on an IPA.

It's a good day.

Well,I finally got around to putting 8 bottles of summer shandy in the fridge from the last batch. They better be carbed well by now...!

 

[brewfish]

Brewed yesterday, along with racking last weekends Bass clone.
Cleaned kegs
Sampled a 2010 barley wine,, keeps getting better

 

[jmprdood]

Brewed a batch of Cascadian Dark Ale, drank myself silly, may bottle a batch of American Pale Ale later.....

 

[unionrdr]

Trying to drink myself silly now. Out of beer that's ready...out of smokes. Can we say road trip?!

 

[jmprdood]

Bummer! Gotta pipeline issue myself - may be drinking "green" beer next week

 

[dr_sanch]

Racked my first witbier into a secondary and sat back to enjoy a homebrewed Abbaye... (this is after saying I would detox a couple of days after beer fest here in Montreal)

 

[kman6234]

Brought back a 5 gallon carboy and hydrometer that my brother no longer uses from my parent's house.

 

[punkrockdave]

Bottled my Black Lager in Grolsh bottles that I picked up for nothing. Had to replace the o rings and that is all. I got the bottles really clean to boot.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Toasted 2# of pale malt in the oven for my Dirty Blonde Ale that I'm making next weekend...

Big beer day for me today:
1) brewed a CAP
2) bought 105# of grain (2-row & pils) for future brews
3) bought & put together Biermumcher's "we don't need no stinking beer gun"
4) picked up the 2 empty kegs from Beerfest in May & cleaned same
5) talked w/ new brewer at LHBS and invited him to our next HBC mtg, plus gave a few tips
6) measured grains & bought yeast (wlp500 & wlp530) for three-way split of 9gal of Saffron Triple (already have 3711 to wash) next week
7) drank homebrew with buddies while watching baseball--down to maybe 6-7 bottles now!
8) panicked over lack of homebrew
9) checked on Robust Porter, DFH90 clone, split batch of Blone (2.5gal ea on Kolsch & Cal Ale V), and Saison... All progressing well
10) listened to Brett topic on the BN Sunday Session to start planning some infections
11) re-read Mosher on Belgian Tripels; got intrigued by the Doble-Doble technique to try for future big beers
12) re-arranged brewing calendar to include 6gal of Accidental Tourist IPA on 22nd
13) cleaned & de-labeled about 12 bottles for refilling
A productive beer day!

Was gonna brew 2 different batches but I just helped my friend brew his first batch (all grain centennial cascade pale ale) and taught/ explained the basics of the process to him. When I wake up in the morning I'm brewing a lemon lime hefe for me.

Didn't get to post up Saturday, but this is what I did for beer over the weekend, hehehe...

 

[jerryteague]

Did a starter from bottle harvested Sierra Nevada Pale Ale yeast. I'm hoping to step it up to a 2L starter for a Cascade/Citra/summit pale ale that I have planned for this weekend.
