What I did for beer today

[geek_chaser]

I brewed a pacifica pale ale then transfered a saison and dry hopped.

Checked my "Infected" Vienna Simcoe SMaSH part D (WF3 yeast, I think) a few days ago and found it wasn't infected after all, so I tossed in a few grams of Calypso for a dry-hop (guess it's not a SMaSH anymore). Tossed in another 4-5 grams just now and started swamp cooling it to try to clear out some of the hop mess. Bottling that and my Red Tea Wheat in a couple days.

I've made up my plan for my latest barleywine brewed with Danstar Saison yeast. I'm leaving for a short vacation this Weds, and I'll put in 1 oz of Columbus for a dry hopping before I leave. When I get back this next Sat, I'll bottle.

I didn't DO anything for beer today, but I was given a sixer of New Glarus beers!!! Also some Northwoods products (a friend came back from Wisconsin!)... I have a Spotted Cow!!! Woop woop!

Prepping materials and handouts for an All Grain Brewing Course for Community Education as a follow up to the Intro to Brewing with Extract Kits course I taught in March.

I brewed a pacifica pale ale then transfered a saison and dry hopped.

Pacifica's nice. I used it in my Maori IPA. My saison's done,but I'm letting it settle out a bit more before bottling. I got a lot of bottles for my collection to rinse out & dry too.

Bottled up 5 gallons of chai hazelnut coffee stout. And dry hopped my all citra ipa with 2.75 oz

Kicked a keg of citrusy strawberry blonde, cleaned 3 kegs, kegged a strawberry blonde, and kegging/bottling a batch of apfelwein. And cleaned/sanitized my jockey box beer line.

Checked on both of my full fermenters, and then promptly updated my brew logs.

 

[FatDragon]

Bottled 5.5 gallons of 红云之东 (S-04 wheat with Yunnan red tea, finished at 1.004!) and 1 gallon of my corrupted Vienna-Simcoe SMaSH (the gallon fermented on mysterious "WF3" yeast from one of the popular Chinese homebrew shops), which sat in the bucket for an extra 40 days at increasing temps (up to about 29C) while I thought it was infected until I checked a week ago, found no infection, and decided to double dry-hop with Calypso.

Other than that, I cleaned my bottling equipment (which means hot water - I really need to find some Oxy-clean in China), drank about 3/4 liter of uncarbonated (but chilled) beer, and updated my signature here.

Started catching up on rinsing some bottles for my collection. also submitted another article. This time on Starsan. Trying to finish up editing/proof reading on my book. Homebrewing makes it to sci-fi!

Finally went through and dumped about 20 gallons of not-very-good bottled beer in the basement, soaked and cleaned and rinsed all those bottles. I felt kinda bad giving all that beer to the compost pile instead of me and my friends, but these were brews from my early all-grain days that weren't good to begin with, and are pretty wretched by now.

Watered my hops plants. Three are looking great, two need some tlc. My third year plant is looking awesome. I need to work on the trellis though.

I've been botteling for the past two days, a Dead Guy clone and Centennial ale. Cleaning more bottles. Wouldn't be fun if I wasn't drinking and listening to Down on Pandora radio.

Moved my valve and screen over to my new mash/lauter tun. The old tun was a 20 + yr old cooler that was thin walled and was starting to crack. The new one is a Coleman Extreme 5 with very thick walls. I expect it to hold temps really well.

Started the first batch last night, LATE! Already seeing some action in the airlock. EXCITING!

I don't know who enjoyed it more, the hubby doing it, or me helping him along.

 

[cochised]

Brewed my first all grain, a blonde ale, and kegged a black IPA partial

 

[jperry]

Starting a much needed brew day. Brewing up an all grain American amber ale, to use up some of my grain stockpile.

A few weeks ago, I bought close to 250lbs of American 2-row/British Maris Otter, thinking I could use it all in about a year. Probably not going to happen, unless I brew like every week.

Made a starter of wlp090 yesterday, for this batch.

 

[plath]

Added my dry hops to my batch of darth vader ipa.

Got 54-12 oz bottles from the batch of saison just a lil bit ago. Tasty brew said 2.4 vco2 max,NB said 3.2! Didn't wanna chance over carbing the bottles,so I went with 2.4 volumes co2. Stock pile is "piling up". Got enough bottles left to bottle the dampfbier when it's ready. This'll be the first time I brewed enough to fill all my bottles!

 

[govner1]

Racked 6 gal of my Hop Stoopid clone to secondary & dry hopped.
Also bottled a 6 gal batch of NZ Sauvignon Blanc.
Picked up the ingredients for an AG Kolsch.

Pic's from yesterday. Nothing to exciting, but maybe they'll make you want to brew this weekend. Cheers.

Bought my ingredients for the first beer I'll be making for my wife- a cherry wheat. Straight out of Brewing Classic Styles except that it's sweet cherry purée instead of apricot.

 

[JonM]

Picked up some O-rings and reassembled and sanitized a keg for my Golden Promise/Centennial lawnmower beer. While I was at the LHBS, I got some 3068 for the hefeweizen I'll brew next week.

 

[unionrdr]

Started taking pics for another article I'm writing for PBW. Gonna get in deep this time.

 

[tugbucket]

Not going to win any awards but some home made ceramic tap handles just went on.

 

[shoreman]

Brewed a small batch of Smoked Belgian Stout, looking forward to it.

 

[reeberom]

Not going to win any awards but some home made ceramic tap handles just went on.

Those are pretty awesome.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Racked a batch of blonde onto strawberries, and brewed up a citrusy blonde.

 

[catdaddy66]

Getting ready for a Father's Day brew session (my first original recipe!) so I go to the LHBS and he has some recently outdated white lab yeast vials at half price!

Score!!! I got some wlp001, wlp090, wlp080, wlp005 and wlp007... California, British, European, Cream ale and San Diego super!!!
