I'm about to leave on an eight hour drive to a wedding where I will be pouring seven homebrews. Excited.

 

[wSelwyn]

Picked up new vinyl tubing, an auto siphon, the new special issue of BYO, and a bench capper (tired of capping by hand).

 

[dodeebryan]

Today I looked at my beer fermenting! It was exciting to me based on the fact that it's my 3rd batch ever and 1st batch in a carboy. Fun to watch! My wife thinks I'm funny cuz I stared at it for a while. Ha!

 

[watersr]

I've brewed dozens of batches and I still do that. I get mesmerized by my airlock bubbling.

 

[Beer_me_plz]

Just bought tickets to Louisiana Beer and Wine Experience in Alexandria, La. I submitted 3 beers for the competition there. I'll find out how I did tomorrow. It's my first comp so wish me luck!

This morning: Collected my ingredients for the Guinness clone along with my BIAB bag, thermometer and some no rinse sanitiser

This evening weighed out grains for tomorrows VERY FIRST BIAB.

Today I thawed and mashed my cherries. I added some pectic enzyme to them.

I went to the LHBS and purchased supplies for a black IPA. And I am going to experiment with using low alpha hops in larger quantities for bittering.

I've done that with saaz hops and thought it turned out well. I mean it shouldn't matter what hop you use for bittering, but, good luck anyway.

Today I finished wiring up a 120 and a 220 circuit on the new pad. 120 is to run the A/C for the ferm chamber, 220 is to support the electric brew system.
Once the wiring was finished I started putting together the ferm chamber. About 2'X4' and 4' tall. Part will be a lager chamber, and part will be sectioned off to be a ferm chamber.

 

[MisterTipsy]

botched a bucket pilot hole

it was my biggest bucket too

 

[davekippen]

Swirled the Bells house yeast I am harvesting a bunch of times (from a 6'er of Oberon)

Ordered the Ebay temp controller in advance of my first real HBDYI project

 

[Steelheader]

Relocated my CO2 tank outside the kegerator

That's my next step as well.

 

[Gigan]

Came home from working all night, stopped by my IPA in the fermenter, lifted the lid, took a bit wiff of the 2oz of falconers flight and 2oz of simcoe that I dry hopped it with last week. I can't wait to go camping next week, it was made for the trip.

 

[Pilgarlic]

Bottled a southern English brown yesterday, wit and dubbel today. Harvested the wit yeast. Scrubbed, washed and organized ALL of the brew ware. Crushing and building a starter for a hefeweizen tomorrow. Read Plato's "Republic" and leapt a tall building.

 

[thisoneguy]

I'm heating the strike water for the first iteration of what will become my house IPA.

 

[Bradzukie]

Weighed and vacuum packaged 5 lbs of different varieties of hops down to 1 oz packages.
1 lb each of
Willamette
Cascade
Columbus
Glacier
Cluster

 

[zacster]

I transferred my saison to the secondary and added 1.5 oz of hops in 2 bags. OG 1.050, FG 1.008 after 3 weeks. I'll keep it there for a week with the hops, then I'm going to pull them out (if I can, it was a tight fit) and cold crash it for a week, then keg and keep cold for another 2. The samples have been good and I'll see how the dry hopping works out.

Weighed and vacuum packaged 5 lbs of different varieties of hops down to 1 oz packages.

Bet that smelled fantastic.

 

[sirmichael]

I opened my firstbbottle of vanilla bourbon stout bottled one week ago. It turned out great. It's going into permanent brewing rotation.

 

[Stoner]

Gave my 500ml Pacman starter that I made last night a hug and wished it a good day before I headed off to work. He's growing up so fast!! Will be a 2liter starter by Saturday and will probably start ignoring me, think he knows it all and end up knocking up some skanky belgain strain before I know it.

**Bumpin but great quote as I have just done the same!!!

 

[weirdboy]

Today I kegged two batches, and bottled a few of another batch.

 

[kman6234]

Dry hopping my IPA with an ounce each of cascade and willamette.

 

[BrotherGrim]

Kegged my AHS American IPA. Looking forward to tapping and drinking!

 

[Nightshade]

Showed up to work


Brewing second half of a double batch of Porter today

 

[MisterTipsy]

I looked at a bottle of pomegranate molasses in a grocery store for several minutes thinking about how I wanted to make beer with it, but I can't fit it into my near term pipeline, so I didn't buy it. Instead, I purchased a smoked mini ham for making sammiches that I will consume with beer.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Just pulled my Dubbel and Blonde up on the counter to settle before bottling the first and racking the second on top of strawberries later this evening.

 

[duckredbeard]

Got 3 pints closer to something new on tap. Reminded SWMBO that I have been amassing my homebrewing budget for a big purchase. Thinking of going all Sankey, when I can get sixtels for $22. Maybe a chest freezer ferm chamber in my future.
