What I did for beer today

[SupervisingChildren]

Bought my plane ticket for GABF next month last night and racked a batch of mead over to secondary tonight.

 

[ol-hazza]

I thought about beer for most of the day, and did some reading as to why my beers seem under carbonated (i'm in denial about drinking them too soon) and am looking forward to my next brew (a BIAB SMaSH) as well as changed the ice in my lager swamp cooler.

I bought a frothing thermometer with a 12" probe and a fermometer for my new fermenter. I tried to buy some FermCap S but the two LHBS's I went to don't carry it.

I also put a Campden tablet in my brew water for tomorrow.

 

[Clankenbrew]

Made 4# of candy and ground 34# of grain for a Wicked Tripel I'm brewing in the morning.

I picked up a bench capper and bottled my Pumpkin Stout.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Packaged up my Best Bitter, half cask and half bottle as I've started doing regularly now, and then washed out the yeast for Sunday's Old Ale (that'll get an extra year in secondary with some Brett C when it's done).

Bottling an American IPA. Racking a Breakfast Stout to secondary. Brewing a SMaSH Kolsch. I better get started!

Here's my recipe:

3 Gallon All Grain

Pilsner Malt - 6 lb.
Hallertau Hops - 1 oz. (60 minutes)
Safale US-05

OG - 1.050
SRM - 3.5
IBUs - 24.3
ABV - 5.3%

Since I "have" to bottle, rack, and brew today, I decided to keep it simple.

 

[Quaffman]

Hooked up the beer lines on my keezer.

HD was having a sale on GE 7 CF for under $200.
I have one given to me by a neighbor that moved & it's very stable. I out in a small fan & used an extra Auber for temp control. Easily accommodates 2 6 gal carboys or two kegs plus CO2 for carbing.

Do you ferment and serve at the same time out of the same fridge? If so, what temp do you put the fridge at to accommodate both?

 

[1fast636]

Well got everything to brew tomorrow think I might try a second running with mt.hood only. Then I vac packed 2lbs of mt.hood. And then I looked over and my 2yr old brewing assistant made a air lock in his cup

 

[Komocabo]

Sweet airlock. You got an engineer on your hands

 

[CJ-3]

Got the temp control for my fermenter wired
and installed. Also built a DIY stir plate. Hoping to brew tomorrow.

 

[gometz]

Cleaned two 3 gallon carboys and autosiphon. Going to split my Bavarian style hefeweizen and dry hop half with cascade. Bought parts for a ghetto rigged beer gun.

Tomorrow I'll transfer the hefeweizen and pump off anything that has settled out of my IPA in the keg.

 

[dkevinb]

I bought another rope tote to use as a swamp cooler for my new fermenter, Also, not technically beer, but I bought the ingredients for a cyser.

 

[Scele]

Cleaned out the 2 containers I use for starters.

Hosed down the brew room.

 

[Komocabo]

Brewed 10 gals of IPA

 

[unionrdr]

Scrubbed & rinsed 44 bottles just a bit ago. gotta scrub the racking tubes, etc that've been soaking in PBW & empty the cleaner out of a fermenter. Gota get the spigot cleaned & sanitized on the other one too. Wanna brew version 2 of the dampfbier tomorrow or the next day.

 

[drainbamage]

Brewed a batch of amber rye ale, then made dog biscuits with the spent grain.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Found out my kitchen scale (for grain and hops) is DRT. Bought a new scale for hops as well as one for grains. I will get these beers I have had planned for months brewed eventually.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Brewed an Old Ale that'll get a nice long aging in secondary with Brett.

 

[govner1]
