What I did for beer today

[DanzigsMISFITS]

Got yelled at by the significant other for buying a 5 cubic foot freezer and themastat to make a fermentation chamber and put it in the guest bedroom.... at least its her beer in it now.

Holy schlamoley! I made a 2.5 L starter of 1007 last night. Checked it at about 7:00 this a.m. when I left for work and it was a little bubbly, but all looked normal. Came home at about 3:30 (July 3 is a getaway day) and there was a ring that showed it had built a 3" krausen (probably more) and had fallen back in. I had put Fermcap in because I know how crazy this yeast is. All of this happened in less than 9 hours. This yeast is a friggin' beast.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Made two batches of apfelwein, kegged a batch of it, brewed a blonde, and racked one onto strawberries last night.

Got my ESB & Irish red on ice for BBQ later. Burgers in the pit, chipotle adobo black beans, corn & caramel apple pie!

 

[JonM]

Kegged my hefeweizen and harvested the 3068 for later use. I brewed this batch for some guests who are coming in a couple weeks, so it probably won't last long so, drats, I'll have to brew again.

Volunteered last night with the guys from MadTree Brewing here in Cincinnati on a canning run of psycHOPathy. Man I'm sore but it was a good time.

Today I'm brewing SD_SLIM's Blood Orange Hefe. Mashed in about 30 min ago.

 

[Brewitt]

Got a great deal on a 2 year old Bllichmann Top Tier set up with 26 gal HLT, MLT, and brew kettle on three burners. All set with tri-clover connectors, etc. can't wait to brew Sunday.

Drank first bottles of ESB & Irish red with BBQ last night. Came out better then I thought with the S-04 yeast.

 

[Takuie]

Hosting a day after Fourth of July party with about 20+ friends to slim down my overstocked beer coolers so I can have room for the beer that I am brewing for my wedding

 

[Quaffman]

Kegged my citra pale ale and racked my flanders red to secondary and pitched the bugs and oak chips.

 

[welcherHB]

Just ordered my first kit from MoreBeer (Pale Ale). Been ordering from Austin but figured I'd try MB as it's closer to where I am. Cleaning bottles out this morning and can't wait to brew next weekend. Been almost a year since I've brewed anything.

 

[catdaddy66]

Did my second step on a starter for my Irish Red ale using wlp004, Irish ale yeast. Bought ingredients for the recipe from the LHBS this am. Tomorrow is gonna be awesome!

Bottled my Yellow Rose Pale Ale, which also meant I cleaned a bunch of brewing equipment.

 

[warix]

I brewed up a batch of honey ale. It was a great way to relax on my first day off in 36 days and I start another 20 day run tomorrow. That puts my next day off just in time to bottle.

 

[frozennorth]

Delabled, cleaned, and sanitized a case of 12 oz and 18 bombers in preparation of bottling my Double IPA.

 

[unionrdr]

Gotta clean bottles from drinking my beers over the holiday weekend. The morebeer ESB & Irish red E/SG kits turned out great! Now waiting for the Saison & PM dampfbier to be ready for fridge time.

 

[user 141939]

Helped my buddy make a starter last night and will be going over today to help him brew his first batch. Got the dead ringer extract kit.

Racked my latest batch of Cottage House Saison to kegs for conditioning. Cleaned the carboys and did a general clean up in my brewery. Also began cleaning up/out my old ferm chamber to get it ready for sale.

Washed a whole lot of bottles that have been sitting, soaking, or just plain festering for months to years. Then bottled the Chinook IPA from the secondary. FG is good, taste is good, piney, not overly bitter. Also finished off some Rogue Chocolate Stout in the process. Man, bottling is time-consuming, might have to finally jump to kegging some month soon.

Ran 6 miles in the morning to earn my beer for the day

Then brewed 10gals of Biermuncher's Centennial Ale. Second time for this recipe. A quick turn beer, it should be ready just in time for a big summer festival in town so I can put a few bottles into the silent auction fundraiser.

Then pulled 5gals of Red's RyePA clone out of cold crash in prep for bottling tomorrow. It still dry-hopping and the aroma is intoxicating.

Dumping 10-15 gallons of beer. Well, 10 of it is a vinegar pale ale. This one I may try to save. After I sample it. Does it look infected to you?

 

[unionrdr]

A little, yeah...

 

[frozennorth]

Bought a burner to fix my hot break issue!

Its still good. Don't know how, but it is. I'm bottling it up tomorrow. It was disheartening enough dumping the malt vinegar pale ale. It was unsavable. I think its time to get some new(more) fermenters.

You don't like fish and chips?!!?

 

[Peruvian802]

Got my wife to pick up malts to make an IPA this weekend. I'll also start pressure testing a "party" kegging system so I can take my act on the road.

 

[DrunkleJon]

You don't like fish and chips?!!?

I do, but I do not see myself eating enough fish and chips to use up 10 gallons worth of malt vinegar.
