What I did for beer today

[Channel66]

Listened to my starter stirring away, talked to the yeasties a bit, encouraging them to grow strong and have lots of dirty kinky sex in my new 2000ml flask.

In the past 2 days: kicked my keg of Galaxy Pale Ale V3, refilled my CO2 tank and prepped the mini-keg of Caribou Slobber for tomorrow night's camping trip, adjusted the steel washer on my stir plate and prepped my yeast starter for tomorrow's African Amber clone brew, kegged 10-gallons of centennial blonde, finalized the recipe for GPA V4, picked up a 50lb sack of 2-row and a few other miscellaneous ingredients, and filled a propane tank.

Finished up my keezer collar. Ordered some perlick faucets for it.

Thought about beer, a lot.

 

[DirtyOldDuck]

Picked up two pounds of Cascades and some yeast for a future batch of Edwort's Apfelwein; bought some fertilizer for my hops.

Got an early birthday present - 2 actually - from one of my best friends and his girlfriend!

Managed to brew a rye saison. Partial mash on stovetop; but had the largest BIAB grain bill I've used (8.5 lbs or so). Took some time to get the grains to give up the wort, but hopefully it worked out. Pitched @ 70 with Wyeast 3711.

E-mailed midwest about my 9 day old order still "processing". I was going to brew a PM Berliner Weisse tomorrow. got my new barley crusher set up too. Dang...

I had a bad experience with Midwest taking over a week to ship anything, not shipping something that was listed as in stock claiming that it wasn't and entirely forgetting a pound of specialty grain. My mash tun showed up two weeks late and damaged on top of all that. Needless to say I don't order there anymore.

 

[DirtyOldDuck]

Fertilized my second year hop plants and weighed out grains and hops for a Red Chair NWPA clone I am going to brew tomorrow (hopefully).

Finally got around to kegging a 11 gallon batch of blonde ale that I split between two different yeasts. One with Whitelabs Belgian Ale yeast and the other with Wyeast Whitbread yeast. I'm calling it the Twin Blondes Series. I also got a yeast starter going for big brew day with a couple of buddies. Planning on brewing 20-25 gallons of beer. And lastly, ordered 4 more kegs from AIH to put all this beer in. It's been a productive day, time to relax with a few homebrews. :rockin:

 

[pellis007]

Stopped by my local homebrew store on the way home from work today picked up some yeast and grains for this weekends brew. Then tonight made a yeast starter.

 

[Aschecte]

Finalized the logistical aspects of tomorrows AHA Big brew day for my HB club.

 

[oujens]

A day late but brewed a centennial blonde splitting 5 gallons into two fermenters. Planning on dry hopping one half with leftover cascade and/or centennial and keeping the other as is. I was tempted to brew haus pale ale with the leftover centennial and cascades, but decided I wouldn't have enough time and so I split this batch and will dry hop one of them instead.

 

[coldcrash]

Planted my Centennial rhizomes. A little late to the party, but I'd rather be late than not show up at all.

 

[Ridire]

Bought a second 20 lb. propane tank so I never have that panic moment 30 minutes into a 60 minute boil.

 

[campbelldm1]

Brewed a cream ale. Getting some bottles ready for my rye.

 

[DirtyOldDuck]

Brewed 5.5 gallons of soon to be delicious beer and cleaned lots of equipment.

 

[mattd2]

Racked an Orfy Hobgoblin II clone into the keg... that is all

Picked up this book from the library before I had my first batch down, thought it would be like brewing instruction. Turns out it's useless for a noob! But I can see how it would be good for someone who, go figure, wants to design a great beer.

Designing great beers, is the name?

 

[pellis007]

Brewed up my 4th batch of my house ale, Honey cream ale.

 

[BrewinHooligan]

Just checked the results of a competition I entered and found out my Milk Stout won a gold medal.

 

[unionrdr]

Wow,congrats man! That gold should def feel like a real accomplishment. Checked the tracking on my stuff from midwest today. it's on schedule for delivery tomorrow. Can't wait to get started on my PM Berliner Weisse.

 

[njs170]

Just got a deal on a 50 qt kettle for $31 shipped (Thank you amazon!). Order all the hi-temp hose I need, a SS valve for my new kettle and a sparge arm. It looks like its going to be a good weekend!

 

[Bulls Beers]

Kegged a batch of Helles....Can't wait to tap it in 6 weeks.

 

[BGBC]

What I did for beer today: did some research on using vanilla beans and cacao nibs.

What I did not do for beer today: pay $20/bottle for KBS at the bottle shop. They were displaying them in the front case between a bottle of Utopias and some $200 scotch. Eff that.

 

[daddyo1109]

Excellent congratulations on your win!

Just checked the results of a competition I entered and found out my Milk Stout won a gold medal.
