What I did for beer today

[unionrdr]

Cleaned up a bunch of bottles from holiday drinking sessions. Planning another pm pale for this weekend. Gotta make a list of grains with prices from midwest (who I usually buy from) for when I got to JW Dver to compare prices. I'd love to save the $11.41 shipping on the next batch. Then maybe I can brew up a spicy English bitter a the same time. Haven't done a double brew in a while...

Bought a GE 7.0 freezer.

Bought a GE 7.0 freezer.

Ha me too!

 

[ArcticBear]

woke up with a hangover from brewing last night...

 

[Piratwolf]

Wrapped up my Saison in a blanket to keep her above 70 as the temps drop. Is that what the pros mean by "jacketed fermenter"?

Checked on the Patersbier in my fermenting fridge to find a nice thick krausen. Life is good!

 

[unionrdr]

Put 12 more cascade pales in the fridge,havin one for lunch. Decent carb already. Should be great by next Monday.

 

[RagingBull]

Checked on the two batches I've got happily fermenting away in the man-cave closet. Both doing well at 64*

 

[Spicemon1972]

Got into a relaxed mental state by meditating on the rhythmic bubbling coming from my happily chugging away honey porter.

 

[jperry]

deseeded a lot of pomegranates. now i'm trying to figure out the best way of using them...

Embarked on my first-ever brewday. One-gallon all-grain Chocolate Stout.

 

[Chuckus95]

Kegged my Rye Pale and India Red Ale.

 

[sonofgrok]

Biosythesized some urea using stout.

^^^^ this

 

[ArcticBear]

i drank some... also accidently learned that my ESB is so clear (after only being brewed 3 weeks ago) that i could watch tv through it (granted it was upsidedown through the refraction of the glass and beer) but i was able to even read text on the screen though it with smaller crystal clarity

Drank Beer and Turned it into Pee

Ooohhhh ok. Ditto! Lol

 

[LoloMT7]

Did I dry hop my Amber? Hell yes i did!!

Gave a growler of my Galaxy Pale Ale to help a buddy seal the deal and earn his mukluks tonight.

Mukluks is a reference to "Eskimo brothers" from The League, except that rather than 2 guys having shared one girl, he's hoping to seal the deal on the younger sister of a previous girlfriend.

 

[RagingBull]

Today I bought the honey and ginger I needed for the batch I'll brew this weekend.

 

[drives_a_bike]

eagerly awaiting my NB delivery...as soon as it arrives I'm making a yeast starter for saturday morning's brew session! I have to leave for Montana Saturday afternoon (for work) and will be gone for a few months, so I have to rely on my brewing buddy and my wife to rack, dryhop and bottle.

I'm also sampling my recently bottled Graf...only been bottled a week, but I figured I'd try it before I went out of town. just a little carbonation...it'll be delicious when I come home for our Apocalypse Party on Dec. 21st

oh, and we're bottling my Amarillo/Simcoe Pale Ale tonight.

Lots of beer stuff to do before I get out of town!

 

[Xpertskir]

Cleaned a couple gallons of beer out from the bottom of my keezer while trying to hold back tears.

 

[jerrodm]

Bottled my spiced Christmas Ale. It tasted a little like feet. Not sure what happened there...

(I know, I know, you're doing it wrong.)

 

[ncweasel]

on the way to work this morning, I day dreamed about what beer related thing I would do with the $550 million Powerball winnings (if I had won). Immediately thought of opening a brewery\brew pub near the NC coast.

 

[freemanmh]

If last night counts, boiled some pint jars and a quart jar for some yeast washing this weekend after I do some bottling. Also went by UPS to pick up my Zythos Summit IPA kit - smelled great when I unpacked the box to check if everything was there . Used the included pint glass to enjoy a Sam Adams Latitude 48 while watching this week's episode of Moonshiners.

 

[KarstMonkey]

I counted my remaining handful of full bottles, counted my empty bottles, and then cried.

I just filled a beer from my keg and thought how wonderful it is to finally have just the "right" carbonization. Open the kegerator door and lifted the keg. About two more beers left. I too felt like crying.

 

[jsv1204]

I kegged my first: an amber and an American red. Very comfy with bottling - cant wait to see how these turn out!

 

[freemanmh]

Just boiled a second set of jars for yeast washing. I think I'm covered for the weekend...

 

[Piratwolf]

Judging Belgian Strong & French/Belgian ales in a regional Beer Comp today. Nothing says, "Good morning!" Like a home brewed Belgian at 9 am

 

[crosschk]

Ordered some extract kits, lock top bottles, and some bottle caps
