What I did for beer today

[Trippel-A]

Visited Begyle Brewing Co, a Chicago brewery I hadn't tried yet. Very boring tour, but good beer, and nice to see a very young brewery working out well. Bought two growlers.

Double brew day of RIS and India brown ale ( was going for black ipa but got brown ipa) RIS taste amazing already and had my buddies chiller so the ipa came out amazing with some hop bursting action and a nice hop stand
RIS:

Brown ipa

 

[steelcurtain]

Kegged some centennial blonde

 

[masonsjax]

Sniffed the airlocks on all of my fermenting brews

 

[kernelchompers]

Made a mash tun from cooler

 

[DakotaSouth]

Bottled a Norther Brewer Dundalk Irish Heavy and moved a couple others to secondary.

 

[dkevinb]

I bottled the Explosive Brown Ale (the one that almost blew up my Mr. Beer LBK). The hydro sample tasted good.

 

[dryboroughbrewing]

Made a starter from some Conan dregs that I grew up late last year.

 

[warix]

I drank some. It was from a local brewery and was very nice. I am still waiting for my first batch to carb up in the bottles so I have to drink other peoples beer. However it isn't a bad thing, every bottle I empty gets recycled into my bottle stash!

 

[Brewmex41]

Kegged a Red x experiment batch. I think it needs a pound of simcoe

 

[FatDragon]

Bottled 125 American Wheat Ales for my wedding in three weeks.

 

[Dmlsys23]

Tested my new 15 gallon BoilerMaker with sight glass and BrewMometer. So good!

 

[bigguns15]

Finished building my temp controller.

[NickTheGreat]

Brewed 2 batches yesterday and cleaned my 3 empty kegs. So just airlock bubbling away right now

 

[Oceantendency]

Transferred my Pale Ale to secondary..not bad at all for my first try at a Pale Ale, even got the wifey approval !!

 

[unionrdr]

Got two more long runs to make in this double run the kids all over creation Monday before I can finally take my shoes off & have some beers.

 

[masonsjax]

Got a starter going for the Yeast Bay's Funktown.
Kicked a keg of Belgian Rye.
Tapped an all Citra PA fermented with Kolsch. Amazing aroma!
Replaced the blowoff tube with an airlock on an all Citra PA fermented with Conan.

 

[JonM]

Dry hopped my Simcoe/Centennial/Citra IPA. Can hardly wait for this one to be ready.

Just wondering where you found real Conan yeast? Was it from an online oddball yeast shop?

 

[masonsjax]

That is Conan yeast, banked and manufactured by White Labs. Not too oddball.

I have been looking at this site here for a while now. Wondering if it was actual conan or a blend they made. Just ordered some. ... and believe me there are some janky yeast shops online. This is the first I actually trusted because if the white labs seal

 

[1fast636]

Nah I harvested from a can before the switch built it up and now going strong as hell, Conan is a beast

 

[philipCT]

Time for some barrel work.

Whoa, dude, (1) do you own these - and, if so, (2) what are you planning to do with them??? What type of barrels are they - they look HUGE.

 

[mrphillips]

I'm cold crashing for the first time. Hope my girlfriend doesn't mind if I clean out the fridge

 

[1fast636]

Moved the fermenters to guest bedroom and last night unpacked and put away this beer haul from my in law

That's a lot of time-sensitive beer there... You either need to throw a beer-snob party or start trading some IPAs for cellar beers pretty quickly.

I ordered a pair of hydrometers and a few other things for future brews. I'll be doing a Vienna SMASH (still waffling between Amarillo and Simcoe), and I need a new hydrometer (broke a couple batches ago) so I can see if my efficiency improves my first time using the pro-quality malt that most of you guys use every time you brew. Now to decide if I brew tonight and withhold a hydro sample in the fridge, or if I should just wait a couple days for the hydros to arrive.

 

[TrustyOlJohnson]

Brew now, hydro later. My 2 cents.
