What I did for beer today

[Qhrumphf]

Brewed 10 gallons of my Oatmeal Stout recipe with my club as a practice run for a much bigger batch aged in a 60 gallon bourbon barrel.

Well,that Vlasic 1G kosher dill jug worked darn good for washing some yeast.
Got all but a hair less than 1/2" out before trub slid up the side. There was about 4" of compacted trub on the bottom of the jug. Wild how that much trub got washed out. So now I got 3 tostitos jars of clean WY3056. got a bigger jar of the same to wash tomorrow. Then onto two batches of WL029.
Lots of trub going down the drain!

Cleaned a recently emptied keg of Yooper's Ruination clone and refilled it with 5 gallons of BM's Centennial Blonde. Still have 5 more gallons of blonde to bottle. Also bottled 5 gallons of IPA a couple of days ago. Weighed out grains and hops today for a 10 gallon batch of pale ale I am planning to brew tomorrow or Monday.

 

[Dave37]

Sounds like its gonna be an awesome brew. Did you harvest the Conan yourself?

 

[lumpher]

brewed a damn tasty irish red

 

[catdaddy66]

Bottled two cases of an ESB I had brewed 3 weeks ago. Tasty...! Gonna do the same to a cream ale batch next week.

I introduced two new beers to my liver today. You're welcome beer

Gotta love new alcohol to the system!

 

[BrotherGrim]

Brewed up a hoppy blonde. 3C blonde, centennial, cascade, and citra. Yummy!

 

[Komocabo]

Yay brew day!

 

[catdaddy66]

Rinsed yeast from my batch of ESB. Now have four small jars of us-04. Yay me! Lol

... how close is your grain bill?

It's in the fermenter now. Pitching one 5.5 gal batch with 1272 and the other with 1098

Built a DIY stir plate, using the bottom tray of a pot, as it was the only housing I could find around the house. works well...

 

[1fast636]

Not quite for beer but made a gallon batch of root beer so clean and sanitized bottles re hydrated yeast made the rootbeer and bottled might make another batch of cola this week too but haven't decided yet

 

[jperry]

Wired up my first STC-1000 temp controller, using a custom configuration. I used a dual socket, with one socket always on, and the other switches on for cooling.

 

[jerryteague]

Kegged my Roggenbier, and prepared for my brew day tomorrow (brewing a bitter, and maybe a blonde as well).

 

[TNGabe]

Hit my LHBS yesterday since I was close. Picked up grain and some 05 for a buddy to come over and brew an IPA today. Base grain is expensive when it's not by the bag! He's been out of brewing for a while and I've never made an IPA, so it should be fun. Will be my first time with leaf hops, also.

Maybe if I'm overcome by a sudden fit of not being lazy, I'll bottle some saison so I can get another one going....

 

[user 103238]

Prepped a couple batches of beer for a local competition, and swapped freezers in the garage. I plan on using the 5 cubic foot freezer as my fermentation chamber once I do a little rearranging in the garage.

 

[kman6234]

Cleaned a carboy this morning and just received a shipment from northern brewer for the saison I'm going to brew for my dad. I'm going to make a starter tonight once the wyeast smack pack swells up

 

[unionrdr]

Re-washing the last two jars of WY3056 I had settling in the fridge. These last two jars had more trub than yeast. Sanitized the empty jar to pour off yeast/liquid in. Then I have a previous batch of WY3056 to start washing. Then some WL029,two batches worth. They were rinsed out of the fermenters into the fridge till I finally got a 1 gallon glass jug to wash them in. Playin catch up now...

 

[Shenanigan]

Delabeled and cleaned some Sierra Nevada bottles. Discovered last night during my first bottling that the Laguinitas stubby bottles can't be capped with the red beauty/barron capper but Sierra Nevada's can.

Bottling my American honey orange wheat tonight.

What I did for Skeeter Pee today:





Pitched two packets of Lalvin EC-1118 into half a gallon of lemonade and called it a starter.

Hope this works!

Just crank harder on it. I was able to bottle a full case with no problem, just more muscle. I thought the same thing my first bottle and was worried I would break them, but that wasn't the case.

Especially if you went through the time and trouble to clean and delabel more than a few.

 

[Dave37]

Not really beer but i did this! An orange and cinnamon melomel OG 1.110 used some lalvin d47 so it should be pretty dry.

 

[smccarter]

Bottled 5 gallons English Bitter, and 5 Gallons Red Hook ESB clone.

I only had 6 and I tried multiple times. I put a ton of force into it and the caps just didn't look right so I didn't want to risk wasting the beer if they weren't sealed properly. I think it's just that the second lip the capper grabs onto is too high. It isn't the end of the world...I thought the sierra nevada would be the same but they work well. That would've been 2 cases of saved bottles trashed.

Second go at bottling last night went so much more smoothly. I put the bottles in a plastic coke bottle rack and just went up and down the rows filling and placing the cap as I went. Then just capped them and put them into boxes.

 

[NickTheGreat]

Finished up my copper manifold last night. Meaning, cut the little slits in the tubes.

On to AG! :rockin:

 

[cavemanbrews]

Handed out three different styles of homebrew to my coworkers trying to broaden some horizons!
