What I did for beer today

[freemanmh]

Bottled my blonde ale. Just finished cleaning the 3 gallon BB it was in, trying to decide what's going into it next...

 

[Nightshade]

Cleaned the brew room, boil kettle and fermenting vessels.
Checked gravity on the Imperial IPA, made sure the Strawberry Blonde was getting a good start fermenting and prepped the grain bill for a Hefe brew on Monday.
Tomorrow I clean and prep some kegs for the IPA to go into.

 

[sweed]

Sanitizing bottles and misc images for bottling my hefe today. Took gravity reading, OG of 1.015, making it a tad over 6.5%, just how I wanted it. I smell cloves, and it has almost a Belgian yeast to it also, smells great!

 

[punkrockdave]

Doing my first AG batch, BIAB style. SN Torpedo recipe.

 

[fargo234]

Brewed an all grain American pale ale. Hit all my volumes and OG. And drank a couple while doing it.

 

[Bubba]

Just brewed a much bumped up BierMunchers Centinell Blonde.

 

[tennesseean_87]

I bottled my Hefe and made a starter for a Gaelic Ale clone yesterday.

 

[JohanMk1]

Drank a pile of Grolsch to get more flip tops for bottling

 

[MaloneyBros]

Big day! Lhbs didn't open till 11 so I assembled our second temp controller (eBay) then ran out to pick up grains for today's brewday. We racked 5 of oktoberfest to a corny and 5 of RyePA to secondary in the down time of our 10 gal oktoberfest brewday. We are really putting it in high gear since we decided to have an Ofest bash. Wish us luck!

I drank too much beer anticipating my fathers release from the hospital...no word yet.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Brewed a Dubbel, as going to brew a Blonde but wasn't able to (long story)

 

[g2rnewton]

Dropped my yest out of primary for my english ordinary bitter.

 

[TimpanogosSlim]

Installed a digital controller in a 5cf freezer

 

[robfromshasta]

peeled labels and tried out one of those twenty buck Munton's Extract kits...Mexican Cerveza

 

[Dawnhulio]

Sprayed my hop plants with a strong insecticide. I prefer organic, but it wasn't getting the job done... and something is making lacework out of the hop leaves.

Have you tried organicide? Ive had intense pest problems and it's been working really well for me.

I worked so I could make more money, so I could brew more beer, etc, etc, etc.....

 

[slatkin]

Trolled HBT for ideas and inspiration.

Trolled HBT for ideas and inspiration.

Does this even need to be said? I thought it was an everyday given

I'm brewing Highland Gaelic Ale clone as we speak. I just cut a floating mash lid from leftover fermentation chiller insulation.

 

[tannuscorwin]

I bottled my pale ale in preparation for an event in two weeks, and I checked the gravity reading of my oktoberfest to ensure that it is fermenting. (It is yay!!!!)

 

[Qhrumphf]

Was going to brew the Blonde I couldn't get to this weekend, but maintenance issues plus exhausting work day mean I'm not doing that. Instead, stuck my yeast starter in the fridge, will decant and step up Thursday to hopefully brew this weekend.

 

[biestie]

Toured lakefront brewery... My favorite tour yet.

 

[nukebrewer]

Soaked bottles in oxyclean and delabled them in preparation for bottling on Friday. Figured out the exact volume of my brew kettle so I can do more precise volume measurements. One of these days I'll get around to installing a proper sight glass. Also assembled the Barley Crusher I got in the mail today. And by assemble, I mean stuck the hopper on and tightened the screws to hold it in place.

Tonight after work I:
-Took a sample of my Irish Red and replaced the blowoff with an airlock
-Took a sample of my Saison and moved it upstairs for higher ferm temps
-Cleaned my kegerator and kegged my hopped cider

 

[duckredbeard]

Ordered some more camlock fittings from stainlessbrewing.com.

 

[Dawnhulio]

Have you tried organicide? Ive had intense pest problems and it's been working really well for me.

That's my go-to for all my garden items, treated the hop plants with several applications of it - to no avail. Rest of the garden is fine with no plant damage... just the hops are continuing to be chewed.

 

[Nightshade]

Brewing a Hefe and chilling an Imperial.

 

[nukebrewer]

Tested my stir plate with the properly sized stir bar I got in the mail today and I am going to hook up my new Johnson temp controller when it arrives. Expecting it today.

 

[Boomjay]

Brewed my second batch today since starting in June. This one...Caribou Slobber.

 

[unionrdr]
