What I did for beer today

[mcbaumannerb]

Went to the LHBS to pick up some DME I forgot to get over the weekend (doh!) Then tore an old PC apart and after a trip to the shack, built a stir plate. Finally, mixed up a 2L starter for WLP002 that will go into the RIS I'm brewing this weekend.

All in all, a pretty great day! :rockin:

Dry hopped my west coast ipa in primary. Forgot I wanted to wash the yeast, so will just have to clean the yeast a bit more.

 

[duckredbeard]

Cleaning 6 cornies. 2 for homebrew, 3 for guest beers, one to return to my neighbor.

 

[jperry]

Scraping/cleaning labels off of bottles...

Peeked into my ferm chamber. Whew. Wore me out. Now I'm going to my Brew Club's monthly happy hour to refresh.

[lumpher]

Yesterday but converted a closet into my new beer cave. That'll keep the kettles and tuns out if the lounge and keep the gf happier which = more beer and brewdays. Was pleased to fit everything in with room for 3 fermentor, can't wait for my first all grain next week. Going for the Belgian **** ipa recipe on the forum. Fingers crossed it'll go well.

Brewed the second beer in my Fellowship of the Rings cycle, a Dusseldorf Altbier named Aragorn the Dunedain.

Kegged a dunkelwiezen for a Halloween party Friday night.

Made a starter to try and culture some wild yeasts and bacteria from some chunks of a Russian River Consecration barrel.

 

[tally350z]

Got my yeast starter started for my first 10 gallon batch on my herms system.. It is either going to be a great day or a painful one.

 

[Gixxer]

Cold crashed starter for second step tomorrow...

 

[jperry]

I went into my ceramics class (community college), and threw a whole bunch of really nice tall mugs, that I plan on selling at the student art sale.(raising funds for my homebrew hobby). Im gonna keep some to fill with my home brew because they look awesome. Im stoked! Next time, in class, I'm gonna make a bunch of small taster glasses.

 

[elayman]

Got mt TC-9102D temperature controller in the mail... now just waiting to find a score on a chest freezer on craigslist!

 

[Xpertskir]

Brewed my French Canadian breakfast stout. Going to be a long wait to drink some

 

[user 103238]

Brewed up a saison with my father in law, who is responsible for me getting into homebrewing. Shared a variety of brews with my FIL and MIL. Saved some 05 after I racked my amber ale onto roasted apples and cinnamon.

 

[allenH]

Kegged a falconer's flight/palisades pale ale, used BCB Haus Pale as the base. Trying to use up the 2011 hops and freeing up another fermenter for a 2 brew weekend.

 

[Gixxer]

roasted some two row for imp pumpkin ale, prepped and got second step of starter on stir plate, moved barleywine to secondary over scotch and bourbon soaked oak chips, washed WLP099 and got three jars worth.

 

[odinsgift]

Potentially infected my barrel with Brettanomyces on a drunken whim. We placed bets if the bottle dregs will take.

a few days ago i was lucky enough to get some free beer. i thought i would be smart and back into the garage so i would not have to carry several cases. I called and asked the wife to move her van so i could back up as close as possible. long story short, i put the truck in what i thought was park and jumped out to move the trash can out of her way. as i shut the door the damn thing went into reverse and started backing toward my neighbors car. in an effort to save the car i tried to get back in the truck, which lucky for me had locked its self since it was in gear. i fell and a after only damaging the front quarter panel and door of the neighbors rig, managed to stop the truck with my ankle. yes i fell and my ankle acted as a block on the tire. then my wife had to go inside, search for the extra keys and then unlock and drive the truck off me. after a visit to the ER and being placed in a cast and on crutches, i feel that i deserve a beer! but they gave me an antibiotic to reduce the chance of an infection so i cannot even do that! FML

Wow, talk about good luck gone bad.

 

[sonofgrok]

Brewed a stout, made dried fish, and brewed some more sake.

Good day.

 

[JohanMk1]

Bottled my hoppy AG Palish Ale and brewed a Pale Ale

 

[Qhrumphf]

Made a starter for an APA tomorrow. Will bottle my strawberry blonde either later tonight or tomorrow evening. Got some oak soaking in Laphroaig Quarter Cask for my oaky, peaty, scotch ale I'll brew sometime in the next few days assuming Sandy doesn't knock me out of power for a week (will keep soaking until add the oak in secondary after a 4 week primary).

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Added the all-important third tap to my kegerator. It's time to carb the Punkin' ale but I'm not willing to take a keg out.

 

[elayman]

Picked up a freezer from craigslist today. Made a collar but didnt have a 1in. drill bit for the tap. I also wired up my TC-9102d temperature controller. I think I have a short but can't find it. It powered on but sounded like it blew something in my surge protector. I will have to fix it tomorrow.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Woke up at the ridiculously early hour of 5am - hoping to brew my Russian Imperial Stout before "Frankenstorm" arrived. Unfortunately it started raining as soon as I went out to start heating my strike water. And with this huge grain bill I have to do two mashes so I will be at it for a while. The things we do for our beer!

I hate to sound like an ass but stuff like this is why I was taught to always put on the emergency brake before getting out of a vehicle. I hope you have a speedy recovery, and get to finally enjoy that beer!

Bottled my spanish cedar aged Blood orange IPA.

 

[sonofgrok]

Folks swung by. Talked my dad into taking a liter of stout with him (He says he doesn't like stout and doesn't think homebrew can be any good). He said he would drink it tonight and actually seemed like he was looking forward to it. Here's to hoping he gets a taste for good beer and homebrewing!

That is what I did for beer today.
