What I did for beer today

[Dawnhulio]

Unwound some crazy bines from my hops and trained them to go the 'right' direction. Little b@st@rds have a mind of their own, it seems - and they grow fast!!!

 

[freemanmh]

Picked up a Phat Tyre kit to brew next week when I bottle the pale ale that's in primary now. Got the grain and hops to do another 2.5gal BIAB experiment. Cleaned and delabeled one of the 4 cases of bottles I picked up today.

 

[Jamo99]

Racked amber sour ale onto cherries, oud bruin into secondary, and an amber saison onto the oud bruin cake.

 

[Piratwolf]

Bottled 3.5 cases of beer and got a buddy to enter his first competition. Oh, and ordered my first refractometer!

 

[Channel66]

Transferred an ipa onto some cascade. got the grains crushed for tomorrows saison, starter of belg saison stirring away. Introducing some brett to this one after the primary ramp up.

 

[JohanMk1]

Arranged an aquarium heater and bricks in a container to heat my fermentor. We had a sudden serious cold snap and fermentation stopped, it's now going again

They follow the sun, so they will grow clockwise looking down (in the northern hemisphere).

 

[swallace]

Building a hop spider and brewing my second AG batch!

 

[TimpanogosSlim]

Made a batch of Pumpkin Porter on my front porch, 100 yards from a mormon chapel.

 

[davekippen]

Washed and de labeled a few bottles

Bottled a Summer Shandy-ish brew. Not impressed with the samples I tried at bottling. This could be my first flop.

ftw!!

 

[pedimac]

Bottled an orange wheat I have on rotation, and I drank. A lot.

 

[The_General]

Yesterday, I repaired a leaking heatstick.

Today, proved that my heatsticks have enough juice to bring 7 gallons to a boil. I will never run out of propane in the middle of boiling or get yelled at for illegally running a propane burner on my balcony again! Now it's time to get back to brewing.

 

[freemanmh]

Brewed the aforementioned 2.5gal BIAB batch. Cleaned a dozen 22oz bomber bottles that I picked up yesterday, and 14 Grolsch fliptops that I got. Cleaning another couple of cases of empties now before I store them.

 

[Bradzukie]

Brewed a batch of pale ale, de-labeled 12 bottles and cleaned them, cleaned a carboy that had 3 oz of hops in it from dry-hopping (a batch I bottled yesterday). Now im cold brewing some coffee so I can bottle my chocolate coffee stout tomorrow. Its been a busy day!

 

[cdeme123]

Kegged 4 out 5 gallons of my new English Bitter. Bottled the rest for a local competition coming up.

 

[cdeme123]

Worked on my fermentation chiller power supply. That part should be ready in a week or so. Then it's on to the cooling system.

 

[Skagdog]

-De-labelled 160 16.9oz euro bottles (erdinger Dunkel, Krystal, and wiessbier and Paulaner)
-De-labelled 34 12oz SNPA bottles

-Bought my graphic arts crew (my three kiddos!) some new markers for label making...

 

[jtkratzer]

Got my 10 gallons of all onto the counter/island to keg tomorrow.

 

[Skagdog]

2 plastic stacks on the left and the cardboard stack in the middle....glad it rained, thank God for Oxyclean!

 

[msa8967]

prayed to the rain gods to give us our first good rain in over a month and get the temperatures below 95 F so I can brew some beer. Our ground water is now around 70 F so my chiller does not do much for the volume of water used.

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

Brewed my Tropical Storm blonde ale and started dry hopping my Badfish IIPA. Hit all my #s spot on too, so it was a good day.

 

[crushingblackdoom]

Skipped out of work early to go home and thoroughly ****** the brewery. Always a good reason to leave work

 

[jtkratzer]

Got my 10 gallons of alt onto the counter/island last night to keg today.

 

[freemanmh]

Soaked/cleaned two cases of empties last night and left them to dry overnight. Put them back in heavy cardboard Point cases this morning to store them, after causing a complete domino pile of bottles on me kitchen counter. That'll wake you up better than a cup of coffee. One more case to clean tonight and I'll have 5 1/2 cases of clean empties ready to go.

I checked out a homebrew shop. It's not local to me, but it is local to my shop's sub-shop that I was visiting.

I bought ingredients for Biermuncher's centennial blond and four check valves for my secondaries.

I've been meaning to get some for a while, now. Late last night i had some Apfelwein push back into the secondary. I'll be tearing my regs down to clean them. I just lucked out on the LHBS having check valves .

as in "sanitize"??? or did you throw ed hardy shirts & fake tanning cream everywhere?

 

[Bradzukie]

Bottled a batch of chocolate coffee stout. Not to be opened until december. Then I cleaned the beer closet.

 

[Ctforte]

Just pitchd some wlp 300 into a paulaner hefe-weissbier clone out of "Clone Brews". Looking pretty good. Thinking about racking onto watermelons? Idk yet I'm open for suggestions

 

[JordanThomas]

Read about multi-step mashing (because I haven't done my first AG yet). Just gearing and educating myself!
