What I did for beer today

[leftcontact]

Where did you find Citra? I thought it was about gone everywhere.

And now you know why.

Soaking/scrubbing spigots after making fresh PBW & Starsan. Cleaning bottling bucket again,damn lil flies! Put away some new chit too mang. SS 5qt collander for sparging biab. A mini measure that measures tsp,TBSP,ounces & parts of a ML. Handy lil bugger for measuring PBW & such. Scale needs batteries,so a redundant backup was needed.
Still gotta clean 12+ bottles real quick Generally clean the ol' man cave before the new beer gets done tomorrow.
We also have a small food processor that I'm gunna try crushing the grains in that works real well with nuts,etc. Maybe 1/2C at a time & see how that works. Grain mill $$ gone already for worthless crap like mortgage & food.

Dry hopped a galaxy-centric pale ale with 2 more ounces, kegging it Sunday or Monday. Racked a 2.5 gal batch of American brown ale to 2 mini kegs for consumption around thanksgiving.

 

[JohanMk1]

Installed BeerSmith. I am Impressed

 

[JordanThomas]

Bottled 45 bottles of our wet-hopped harvest IPA and about 48 bottles (plus 4 bombers) of DoubleDach's breakfast stout clone. Boy are these tasty. Let's hope they get better in the bottle.

Changed an o-ring on a leaky dip tube and cleaned up the small puddle of *sniff* wasted beer from my floor and the bottom of the kegerator.

Also switched out the frozen 2 liter from my brew cooler to keep the GF pumpkin ale bubbling away at about 65 degrees

 

[Gixxer]

Prepped starter for barleywine next weekend

 

[Whattawort]

Stayed up until midnight (sat) making my bastardized version of an old ale. The wort tasted like candy! I'm looking forward to this one. Has 2lbs of honey and 1lb of amber belgian candi sugar. Think I used 2.5oz of hops too. Have to look at my notes.

 

[dynobyte]

Bottled two batches of pumpkin ale and a batch of brown ale. Kegs are all full so I had to bottle to make sure these are ready when I'll want them. I guess I need to drink more.

 

[Odin_Brews]

Brewed an IPA with crap effieciency and got some pretty bitter wort! we'll see where it goes..

I hear ya on that. I had craptastic efficiency on my last batch and it had a pretty bitter taste as well. Didn't bode well for a pecan brown. Bottled it this past Saturday. Hope it mellows out a bit.

 

[Nightshade]

Brewing 3bbl of stout
Tasting CDA and testing a new carbonation technique that may or may not be worth the effort.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Had an 8:30 AM beer in Denver airport. Will be putting some Citra dry hops in my Imperial Red once I'm finally home.

 

[unionrdr]

Tryint ot get the right temp on my mash water for my 1st PM kit. Will save the premium lager & vodka for when I get it in the fermenter. Feels good to brew again after waitin a couple months to get parts to fix the stove.

 

[bobeer]

Bottled an IPA I made on Labor Day. Very hoppy but it'll mellow out over the next few weeks!!

Also planned my xmas brew. Going to have to brew it this weekend if I want it ready by Thanksgiving. It'll be cutting it close!

 

[weirdboy]

I racked my mild to a keg. Very, very tasty. I am so looking forward to drinking this one.

 

[Gixxer]

Moved starter from stir plate to fridge to cold crash. Tomorrow liquid gets decanted off and then round two starts on the stir plate.

 

[jerrodm]

Swirled my hefe IV starter about 2 dozen times (yes, I know, I need to make a stir plate). Doppelweizenbock, here I come!

 

[neosapien]

I walked out to the garage...twice.

 

[ronsky]

I sat there... Staring at my Caribou Slobber that I bottled on Saturday thinking that waiting for beer to bottle condition s*cks, and wishing I had started home brewing earlier in life.

 

[TromboneGuy]

This followed me home after work. Can I keep it?

No, I'm sorry. I'm afraid you're going to have to send it to me.

Sittin here waiting for the PM cascade pale ale I pitched on last night to start blowin off. I like havin my fermenter stand next to the comp hutch.

 

[jerrodm]

Planned out my brew calendar for the rest of the year:

Weizendoppelbock
Dunkelweizen
Christmas Ale (based on Jamil's recipe)
Irish Red Ale
English Pale Ale/ESB
Chocolate Porter

I'm going to be gone for three of those weeks, so one or two batches might get pushed into 2013...we'll see. If I get them all in I'll be at I'm aiming to make the Chocolate Porter my New Year's Day brew.

 

[LoloMT7]

Popped the top on a belgian tripel i brewed in july..... yummie

 

[kadozen]

I brewed up my first non-mr beer kit, a 5 gallon irish stout. Gotta say, love my new hobby.

P.s
HBT is easily the greatest resource for miscellaneous information, you guys rule!
