I stared at the airlock and watched it bubble whilst daydreaming about the future of the contents of the fermenter.

Finished installing the foam in the "keg section" of the new fermentation chamber.

Today beer gets a full 8 hours of work. This morning I I cut the holes in my project boxes that will become my STC temp controllers. After that I headed to my HBS and grabbed two ball valve/cooler conversion kits and a weldless kettle ball valve kit. Later today, I'm gonna install said cooler conversion kits and drill my pot for the weldless kit. After that, it'll be on to stripping some toilet connectors for a manifold for each cooler. Maybe wash some bottles somewhere in there too.

I racked my New Albion Ale to secondary & dry hopped w/ 1oz of Cascade whole leaf hops, cleaned the carboys etc., then moved my Sylva Bullet IPA to
My lagering chamber to cold crash.

Today I got the details worked out in my kegerator so I can fit 3 corny kegs and the 10# co2 cylinder in there. I have pin locks and ball lock kegs so I have worked out interchangeable parts. My tower only has two taps so I have a Perlick jury- rigged inside the door to tap the third beer. It seems to work OK.

On tap- robust chocolate porter

Kegged and carbonating- a hoppy pale ale

Fermenters- "Tuesday's Ruby," an Irish red with a bit of extra hops

Pics? Fairly new to kegging myself. Love it!

New to this thread..posting pic of 1 month old kegorator. Have 4 kegs with beer, just need one more faucet. Kegged is an American Red, Hoppy Red, Simcoe IPA, and TIPA based on Pliny. Awating a tap is a sweet stout and heady topper clone in about 2 weeks. Bottled a hard cherry limeaid (7.5%) yesterday for the kiddos..not my thing but they like it.

Dry hopped my Vag-tastic Voyage (RIS) and my Janet's Imperial Brown tonight. Lil taste of each and omg.....I think could be two of the best beers I have done to date!

Wow! Looks pretty good for salvage plywood!

 

[dkevinb]

I made a 2-gallon bottling bucket for small batches.

 

[Michael357]

I bottled and labeled my Honey bee American light.

 

[Komocabo]

Michael, Excellent job on the labels. Looks great!!

 

[DrunkleJon]

Cleaned an entire 5 Gallons of Apfelwein off the bottom of my keezer. At least there are 10 more gallons left.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Put some ice bottles in the swamp cooler.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Kegged sweet stout. Used liquid yeast, English 002, and sure appears to make a big difference in flavor. Think i know what "fruity esters" mean now.

 

[ReverbDude]

I replace the exhaust filter above my stove and it made a huge difference in the chocking hop smell usually associated with me brewing an IPA.

Started today out with a brew day brewing a buffalo sweat clone with pumpkin and spices turned out amazing missed OG by three points in not fretting tho instead of 1.061 I hit 1.058, sample tasted amazing

Started the day out with a glass of cappachino stout from lagunitas


Sample

I love the Orange hue on the edges from the pumpkin in the boil

 

[JonM]

Kegged my favorite oatmeal stout while being totally distracted by the 4th qtr of the Packers/Dolphins game.

 

[biochemedic]

...damn mobile app never does what I want it to....

 

[Zepth]

Aside from brewing cleaned out and sanitized the kicked kegs. Now they're perfectly ready for accepting a new batch as soon as there's one ready.

 

[Zekk]

I won 4 oz of hops of my choice from the LHBS at my homebrew club meeting. Too bad they don't have a very good selection. But hey, I spent $10 and got that AND Stone's 18th Anniversary IPA :rockin:

 

[themachinist]

Bottled up my 10 gal split batch of pumpkin ale. The s05 batch went into bottles for holiday gifts to the family. And the other batch I fermented with danstar belle saison, that went in the kegerator for myself

 

[fimpster]

I just finished up bottling 5 gallons of honey kolsch.

 

[Trippel-A]

Finally shared a beer I made with some noob friends this summer with those friends. It was an all-grain, Northern Brewer Kama Citra Session IPA, and it came out very well. I hope they'll be interested to try again!
