What I did for beer today

[Hex]

What did I do for beer today? I followed up on an invitation to change my status from amateur to professional brewer. Wish me luck.

Good luck!

I trained my hop bines some more.

 

[chuckstout]

Made a starter for my Northwest single malt scotch styled ale

Went to a solstice baseball game, consumed a couple of BCMs, which made me appreciate my homebrewing efforts even more.

 

[chuckholding]

Fired up the fridge in the garage to store finished homebrew in. Need to install valve and thermometer in the new brew pot and do a test drive with new worth chiller to check for leaks. On the new Bayou Burner out front. Revolutionizing my game!

Added a second vial (half price!) of WLP036 to my starter along with some yeast nutrient, 400 ml of wort (50 grams of DME). That should definitely get my pitching rate to where it needs to be for 11 gallons of beer.

I am also in your position. I will make a 2L starter with one vial then dump out half into a jar and make another 2L starter with the other half. You can repeat this as many times as needed to get your cell count up high enough for 11 gallons.

Bottled my Belgian strong before a move. Just relaxing at the moment

 

[thisoneguy]

I just finished packing up all of my brewing equipment for tomorrow's move... packing sucks.

 

[RollBeerTide]

I went to my LHBS and bought yeast for my upcoming Oktoberfest and I bottled my summer ale. Solid beer day!

broke open a 1# ball of cascade pellets and packed into 1 oz vac packs.

installed second tower for kegerator. (also for wifes fam reunion). will have my Pilzen and the racer 5 clone on tap.

 

[Drewski8986]

Went to lhbs brewed two all grain batches one for enjoyment one for competition. Made starter for skeeter pee and pitched into must also bottled a jalapeño cream ale

 

[michaelsnayd]

Cleared some space in my house in order to shop for a small refrigerator for my 6.5 gallon carboy that I use for fermentation, any suggestions?

 

[bobmd559]

Patiently waiting for the bubbles to start in the Patersbier I brewed last night.

That's what I'm doing today. I hate moving especially moving four times in four years.

 

[jtkratzer]

Took my starter off the stir plate and started chilling it for tomorrow's brew. Eventually, I'll get out to the garage to get some things organized and cleaned up from the minor construction project I had going.

Yesterday I brewed a batch of my, soon to be famous, Blueberry Amber Ale and cleaned up after a bottle bomb that nearly killed me (I really need to get serious about going to a kegging system). I read a couple chapters of "Brewing Classic Styles," and started an emergency drinking session of the remainder of the bottles that might blow at any moment. I got through about 4 pints before I gave up.

Today, I checked my fermentation on the BBAA. It's starting to get active at 65 degrees. Boiled some water to harvest yeast from a batch of American Amber I made a couple weeks ago. Later I'll start sanitizing bottles for that one. I'll be reading some more of the book today as well.

Bought ingredients for my here I'm brewing next weekend. I also got some mad. vanilla beans, split scraped them and they are now soaking in some bourbon which will go in my RIS next weekend.

 

[davekippen]

Bought ingredients for a Summer Shandy clone. Also, mother in law found some stiens that her brother bought while in Germany a while ago and she gave them to me!! One is a Gerz which I guess is a popular brand??

 

[zacster]

Drank some, and now I need to drink some more.

 

[cdeme123]

Hungover from last night and gave blood this morning. Not drinking tonight.

 

[jtkratzer]

Properly installed the PIDs in my fermentation side-by-side, installed the fans to cool the fridge side, and wrapped up the wiring. Everything appears to be working correctly and should be set to ferment my Düsseldorf Altbier at 60* starting tomorrow.

Killed a keg, then kegged my Denny's Wry Smile Rye IPA... Can't wait to try it!

 

[stbnj]

Killing 2 kegs of my homebrew at a graduation party for my sister in law who just finish her masters degree. I made a strawberry blonde and a summer ale with lemon zest and grains of paradise. Its pretty cool watching people you don't know pass the bud light keg for your keg.

 

[Darkness]

well we cranked out 10gal of Peat wheat and 10gal of Flanders Red. Oh and drank HB while I brewed.

 

[rejart]

Just bottled my yellow jacket pale ale. I decided to dry hop with an oz of cascade and the hop flavor is perfect. The sample tastes awesome.

 

[davekippen]

Washed and de labeled 40ish bottles... Racked a light wheat on to an a**load of strawberries... Washed yeast from that wheat brew. First time washing yeast! :rockin:

 

[spacecowboy13]

Made a home-made immersion wort chiller... would have been cheaper to buy one though!

 

[bassmaster911]

Loaded my cart on AHS.

 

[cdeme123]

Cleaned up my 1st corney keg and sampled my American Amber. It came out just add I'd hoped. Will be kegging tomorrow.
