Watched the airlocks on my Limbo clone bubble.
Gathered another load of grains and hops to boil my first home made recipe attempt. It's going to be a
Nut brown ale.

I took the advice of many posts that I have read and decided to let my double IPA sit in the primary for at least two weeks, before transferring it to the secondary to dry hop and settle out a bit. Oh, and how could I forget? I also bought a 5 gal carboy as a secondary! Now I am relaxing with a Glacier Brewhouse IPA.

Shared my rice wine, Apfelwein, Caribou Slobber, Double Chocolate Stout, and cascadian dark with some friends of SIL for her birthday.

Scored a new March pump for 24$ on ebay while everyone else was sleeping.

Finally forcing myself to take a break from book writing, editing, etc to bottle my dampfbier today. Had to make some more Starsan first to soak the spigot assembly on the bottling bucket first. Then clean up & back to book stuff.

 

[warix]

Picked up everything I need to brew a honey ale. Now I hope I can find time in the next week to brew it!

 

[unionrdr]

Well, I'm all in! Finally filled all my bottles for once. Got 54 2/3's bottles of the dampfbier. Now gotta clean up...again. Might just have to press those couple cases of Sam Adam's bottles back into service I've been trying to give away!...Gotta brew more home brew!

Weighing, crushing, mashing, drinking, solving, brewing, pumping, whirlpooling, chilling, drinking, cleaning, rinsing, sanitizing, and inoculating.

Hope I didn't miss anything.

Northern Brewer was holding my order because they are out of Cascade hops. I called the LHBS, found out they had Cascade. Got NB to deconstruct the recipe kit and drop the Cascade hops while keeping the kit discount. Picked up the hops at the LHBS on the way home. The rest of the ingredients have been shipped from NB. Saturday brew day is still on!

 

[reeberom]

Drank 2 IPAs.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Kegged a strawberry blonde, and kegging/bottling a rye pale ale/ripa

 

[KPaul]

Bought a chest freezer for conversion to a keezer.

 

[bulldogwinters]

Drank a few pints of my dry stout and finalized the recipe for my sisters birthday party brew

 

[warix]

Shared a few bottles with my good buddy while helping him with his sprinkler system.

Last night:
Cleaned all 10 of my kegs as they had gotten dirty during my move.
Filled 3 kegs (Rosemary Rye, Pale Ale, Oatmeal Stout).
Gave the brew kettle a thorough cleaning
Cleaned keg taps and lines
Cleaned fermentors from the three brews above.

 

[warix]

Picked up a 10 gallon igloo cooler - step one to building my mash tun!

 

[johnmac22]

Planned a few brews and made a small dent in the pipeline

 

[DrunkleJon]

Yesterday I cleaned 6 kegs. One upon opening looked like I left it too long as it has a bit of a waxy looking skin on the remaining liquid in it. A long hot soak in Oxy seems to have made short work of that, Got a prolonged sanitizer soak going now.

Kegging up 20 of the 25 gallons of ready beer tonight. The other 5, which I am not sure if has been infected since this fall (and I have put off doing anything with) is going into bottles.

 

[Hello]

I cleaned two kegs, one is a root beer keg that I keep for, well root beer. The other was a recent purchase. Racked my chocolate coconut stout into the keg, purged it with some CO2 and it'll sit for at least another month at room temp (with 2 oz of priming sugar) to age just a tad. Will be making another batch of root beer today to carbonate and get back on tap.

I need someone to come help me drink some beer. If I kick this IPA in time I can rack my Hi Nelson! saison into a keg instead of bottle as planned.

It will take me about a week to drive there. Will it last that long?

I did it in 5 days and that was stopping every night. It'll be here when you get here. :rockin:

Picked up grain for a nut brown ale concoction I'm making saturday and placed an order for a Clangtoberfest brew grain.

Im working now but when I get home I'm sweating a water spigot above my HLT so I don't have to run a hose around the house into the basement.

Setup for tomorrow's morning session. Hope to be heating 20 gallons by 7am, mashing by 8, and boiling by 9.
Second batch with my new system. 10g of Nut-sak brown ale, my first attempt at a homegrown recipe.

I'm thinking of cracking a few mixed nuts and hanging them in the secondary.

Anyone have experience with nuts?

Finally, after 8 agonizing days of working late, I have had the opportunity to get my CO2 tank filled for the very first time. Probably clean the disaster that long work hours has taken the toll on my condo and then be kegging tomorrow. And bottling. Turns out I might need more kegs. I'm not an addict. I haven't even filled them once!

We used some organic hazelnut syrup in our Busta NutNut Brown and it worked well. I think we put it in secondary, and only a few oz. Of course, it added sugar, so take that under consideration. If I were doing it again, I might use the syrup as the priming sugar.
