What I did for beer today

[ShackNasty]

Bottled my dry-hopped porter.

 

[f0xtr0t]

Bought a 50 lbs sack of pale ale malt. Got Ph testers and chemicals to adjust my water profile. Also picked up a copy of Stan Hieronymus's book Brewing With Wheat. Also picked up enough grain to turn my hefewiezen into a wiezenbock

I got a 50# sack of pale malt too! My first huge bag. Wife was like, "What did you do?"

i did a tour of the Deep Ellum brewery in Dallas. didn't learn much, but it was nice to be around other folks who are enthusiastic about brewing! drank a lot of their farmhouse wit and their double stout

 

[OhCrap]

Brewed orfy's hobgoblin clone

 

[Cpt_Kirks]

Checked the pressure on kegs of Light Lager, Amber Lager and All Wheat Hefe that are being carbed/cold conditioned for the 4th.

 

[blkandrust]

Kegged a loose cannon clone and whispered sweet nothins into the bubbling airlock af Caribou Slobber!

 

[DRUNK-I-AM]

Bottled my "Hello Ladies Ale" early this morning, and my "Ham's Horney Ale" has 30 minutes left in the boil. Ham is my best friend, and the brew has honey and orange in it. So I guess I invented a clever name for my beer too!

I tossed a case of momma's Summer Shandy in the fridge about an hour ago. You wanna know what's weird? At one hour or so fridge time,it's slightly cool,clear as a bell with head like all to be damn & 2.5" left in my no nick,it still has carbonation & a slight veneer head.
But...at 7-10 days in the fridge,chill haze refuses to settle (although not very hazy),& flavors are weaker compared to now. This was version 2 by the way. It's in my recipes. The hop & lemon flavor is wonderfully crisp & flavor full with little chill time. Not sure what to think,but it feels soooo good to have a home brew again!!! All's almost right with the world again.

Made a yeast starter for a Lager and drinking one of my home brew Black Lager plus cleaning off the stove cause of the boil over from last nights brew session.

cleaning off the stove cause of the boil over from last nights brew session.

I hate when that happens! That's one of the worst kitchen messes I've ever experienced!

 

[punkrockdave]

I'm used to it, so is the misses.

 

[DankHead]

Transfered my Sour Cherry Pale Ale over to the secondary.. THEN realized I didnt have the right size stoppers to fit my new better bottle carboys. Just star-saned a zip lock and tapped it on till I can get back to the LHBS tomorrow.

 

[eanmcnulty]

I brewed a saison with piloncillo and Belgian Saison yeast.

Test sampled my Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde after 10 days conditioning in the keg and 1.5 days in the kegerator. Clearly a bit green, looking forward to it improving!

 

[unionrdr]

Got an ale pale to finish cleaning,& a crap ton of bottles to clean & soak in hot water. Dang dregs get stubborn sometimes. Not to mention PBW or starsan film that may've built up. Never hurts to be sure.

 

[cdeme123]

Updated my home brew Facebook group on water and water additions.

Edited some brew video I took on my last brew day.

I smuggled a Wyeast smack pack on to my flight home. They contain 4 oz of liquid... take that, TSA!

I just finished de-labeling 7 cases (168 bottles) of bottles in my bottling bucket, 18 bottles at a time. I need some beer.

I think a kegging system is what you need. And a beer, wouldn't deny you a beer.

I'd keg, but I don't have the space for a kegerator. I do have room to stack cases and cases of bottles though, funnily enough.

 

[wormraper]

I swirled my starter of saison 565 today (and drank some of my bavarian Hef)

 

[g2rnewton]

Bottled my German wheat for class reunion on labor day weekend. May research labels for this brew...that would be a first.

 

[tennesseean_87]

Made a mini starter of 3068 for EdWort's Bavarian hefe. It's been in the fridge a long time, since December, I think. I might not have washed it that well to begin with, so I did a small one and I'll step it up. Then I'll pitch only part of it (to get some banana) and save the rest. I Brewed Yooper's DFH 60 min tuesday.

 

[DirtyOldDuck]

Our raspberry patch is producing like mad this year and everyone wants a raspberry wheat, so over the last couple of days I picked 3 or 4 pounds of berries and froze them. Should get many more pounds over the next couple of weeks. I also tended my hop plants today and wept as a beloved keg of porter kicked the bucket.

 

[cdeme123]

I don't want to know where on your person you "hid" it.

 

[Xpertskir]

started a keezer build, and obviously it couldnt have gone as planned....need to fabricate a piece of metal for the hinges to attach to. Oh, well...give the stain time to dry

 

[Stauffbier]

Pondered my next world conquering recipe that will be brewed on Independence Day! It's looking like it might be a RIS!

 

[user 103238]

Drank a few homebrews while I cooked dinner and made a gigantic starter of my recycled 05 for tomorrow's brew day.
