What I did for beer today

[unionrdr]

I added one more bomber to my bottle collection & cleaned & re-arranged it a bit. Too hot to brew till I get some brewery expansions done startin next month. Cleaned my glass steins From Germany & my Stella chalice. They went on the hutch where they belong & will get less of this thick stick slightly acidic dusty stuff in there. Top of comp hutch too high for them to stay cleaner. Put away some bottles I cleaned yesterday & more wheat beer in fridge. Clean a few more bottles today,lookin for somethin brew related to do.

Just got my CO2 tank filled. Now all I have to do is build the kegerator

 

[bobmcstuff]

Got this lot.

I finally replaced my turkey fryer. It came with a 30q pot (with spigot), and since I'm replacing the gas tank tomorrow, I'll be all set for my next brew day, which will be Tuesday, if my supervisor's edict proves correct (my safety officer, who is my father, suggested otherwise).

Transfered my Pliny the Elder to a secondary and added 1oz of Centennial, Columbus and Simcoe. Gravity reading was 1.012 and the taste was smooth, but a little bitter? Hope I didn't ruin this beer.

Walked into the garage this morning and smelled beer. Warm beer. Apparently my faucet was leaking steadily since I poured a pint last night. Luckily I ended up only losing about 12-16 ounces.

Dry Hopped my NB DeadRinger. One more week until bottling day!

One week behind you, I will be dry hopping mine next week!!!...oh, I tested a bottle of arrogant bastard ale clone (AHBS) only 1 week after bottling and it is already tasting REALLY good...will be a hard 4 weeks trying to let it develope more!

 

[Qhrumphf]

Bottled my Bitter, and in the process of harvesting yeast from its cake for tomorrow's Barleywine and Mild.

 

[winvarin]

Kegged 10 gallons of nut brown

 

[Kolsch_Meister]

Kegged 5 gallons of bock

 

[Cathedral]

Got this lot.

I want to try the Danger: Hops! simply because that is quite possibly the most awesome name for a beer I've ever heard.

Double header brew day. Gave my new (to me) heat sticks their first (for me) taste of actual wort (I adopted em from another brewer). My first full boil in one kettle (had been doing either partial boils or full boils split between multiple kettles). Missed my volume on batch one, adjusted and nailed it on batch two.

Found out this afternoon that I took 2nd place in the ET Barnette Homebrew competition with my Galaxy Pale Ale V4.0 in the American ale category. I'll take that for my first competition.

Some good choices in there. That breckenridge porter is such a solid brew. Love it on tap.

 

[adiochiro3]

Cleaned a bunch of bottles; kept my latest brew comfortably cool; drank the first of a new batch.

 

[NickTheGreat]

Test my mash tun, fixed the leaks, then did my Pale Ale. First AG brew, CHECK!

I went to the local liquor mart today and browsed the specialty beer aisles for about an hour. Finally walked out with a Brooklyn Sorachi Ace (looking to sample the Sorachi Ace hop, thinking about using it in a pale ale) and a Boon Gueuze (exploring sour beers). Both were purchased in the name of brew science research :|

While they are chilling, I grabbed a sixer of Whale Tale Pale Ale from Cisco, a fabulous brewery on Nantucket. Credit me for helping to support the local craft breweries. Finally, I am giving these fine beers a warm and safe home, in my belly.

Opened a package to find these;

Placed an order for a Chugger pump, PID, SSR, and heat sink. It's just a matter of time before I place the order for the RIMS tube and thermocouple. I'm hoping to take the RIMS system live in about a month.

 

[TNGabe]

Bought a couple sacks of malt. Now I just need to build a new mash tun.

 

[user 103238]

And being the patient brewer I am, I just hit the order button on the RTD sensor and the RIMS tube from BobbyM. Now to start planning out the enclosure, switches, etc.

I responded to a craigslist add asking for empty bottles. I gave the guy three and a half cases of bottles that I just had laying around the basement and a four pack sampler of my own HB.

+1 way to pay it forward man. Really a cool move.

 

[seph]

Yeah, he was really surprised. The bottles were ones that I had already cleaned and delabeled too.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Added a couple ice packs to my Barleywine's swamp cooler.

 

[Mozart]

Ordered some replacement parts for my mini kegerator.

 

[Quaffman]

Brewed 5 gallons of chocolate hazelnut porter.
