What I did for beer today

[sonofgrok]

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.

Way back in highschool, I got to borrow my dads prized car for one day. I parked it in the HS parking lot and put the parking break on. Well... it failed and my dad's fancy ride (Yes. pontiac fieros were once pretty fancy to me) decided to roll across the parking lot and re-park itself into my friends old civic (thank goodness it was a friends).

Now I always am OCD about putting the parking brake on plus I always give the car a shake and a push once I get out of it to make sure its not going anywhere.

Set up bottles for an overnight soak so my wife can bottle her mead tomorrow. Popped down to the local pub for a pint of their in-house-brewed IPA before settling in for the night with some of my own brew.

I was suppose to bottle my ipa, but that's going to wait till tomorrow. I was way too tired today visiting my parents, so it'll dry hop for one more day, 8 days total. Then I can start my chocolate stout.

 

[DirtyOldDuck]

Kegged an IPA and contacted a local hop farmer about picking up a couple of pounds of Centennials. Currently soaking the fermentor and a few odds and ends.

I brewed my Christmas beer. I'm trying to think of a good name, and I hope that I have enough bottles to make this happen. I'm not optimistic.

 

[Stevol]

Cracked open my first bottle of my second batch It's lots clearer and easier to drink but still a bit (fruity) or (tart) Its only three weeks since I started so it has probably not matured yet. Going to start my third brew tomorrow, I'm going to be an expert soon :cross: Happy brewing!

 

[Qhrumphf]

About to start heating strike water and milling grains for my Mild. Then I'll make starters for a Cal Common and Robust Porter for the weekend (hoping to have a few friends drop by Saturday for Learn to Homebrew Day).

 

[HoppyDaze]

refrigerated a 12ozer of a brew I bottled 10 days ago to check the carbonation.

 

[thisoneguy]

Made a starter that will be split to give me yeast for 2 brews.

 

[aubiecat]

Finished my new hop spider.

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

Made my first batch of cider with some Notty and its already bubbling away. Planning on making another 6gal in a few days with US04. Should be ready by thanksgiving if all goes right.

Sipping an IPA from the new brewery that just opened in town. They opened at 3:00pm - by 3:17pm I had 3 growlers filled!

I got another yeast starter going for my next batch of beer and I started to read the book yeast so that my future beers will be even better.

 

[JScott02]

Just getting back into brewing. Emptied out some bottles from an old batch, cleaned/dusted off equipment. Ordered ingredients from AHS for my next two brews (A Kolsh and apfelwein).

 

[JScott02]

Oops

 

[Qhrumphf]

Getting starters going for Saturday's cal common and robust porter.

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

Bottled my Rhubarb Berliner. The sample tasted really good with a nice balance of sour and tart. I'm looking forward to drinking this batch.

 

[ehopps1]

Bottled my Black IPA today. Kegging my blonde ale on Saturday.

 

[grahamtwatson]

Kegged my Red and my Milk Stout. Just need to wait a couple of weeks to tap it - and to make room in the kegerator...

 

[signpost]

Yesterday, I bottled my first solo all-grain batch, the Dry Dock SS Minnow Mild Ale from NB's pro series. Then washed the yeast (I subbed Wyeast 1469 West Yorkshire Ale) and have two quart jars of yeast for upcoming batches.

Waiting for the sink to get emptied to clean/rinse my bottling bucket,etc. Have to bottle my 1st partial mash cascade pale ale kit from midwest today. Want it ready for thanksgiving. Can't wait to see how the final product tastes from my 1st go at pm.

[Gixxer]

Finished washing some WLP 099 screwed up after racking and stirred everything up so I moved it all to the fridge for a few days. Got it in jars now.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Just mashed in on my Cal Common. Gonna start milling grain for the Robust Porter that I'll do after this one's done.

Finally was able to get online today and saw that hops direct had 2012 cascade and centennial so I ordered a pound of each. Certainly brightened my day!

Brewed up my first 10gal batch on my new system. I always learn alot on the first run of something.
