Pulled 2 kegs from the kegorator and cleaned them. Cleaned my lines and fawcets as well.

Going to keg 2 beer tomorrow. It's been quite awhile since I've had homebrewed beer.... I've been going through withdrawls...
 
Showed my friend how to make a starter I'm letting him barrow me and swmbos equipment for his first AG batch. ImageUploadedByHome Brew1416033555.381146.jpg

Where do you place your probe?
 
My homebrewing book hit #21 on the top 100 best seller's list on Amazon/Kindle this morning! Pretty good for what I did today?!...:ban::rockin:

Picked these puppies up yesterday. Really contemplating drinking The Abyss tonight as it is the 2013 release.
 
Racked 6 gal each of my Buzz Bomb IPA & Bitter Chocolate Stout into 4 3 gal kegs. Half of each batch is keg conditioning & the other is being force carbed.
Also cleaned up all the carboys & equipment used in racking.
Up next is racking my Gingerbread Ale to secondary.
 
I finally found a place to refill my CO2 tank, instead of exchanging it. Way cheaper that way.
 
Sampled my saison. After about a month of hot water baths I got 3724 down to 1.006. Time to let it settle out and bottle!
 
I helped with setup for the Festival of Barrel Aged Beers in Chicago on Thursday, and was therefore allowed to attend on Friday! I moved so many sixtels that day.
 
I bottled a Holiday brew, (well, technically last night) but had a hard time getting the siphon going. Ended up being a clog on the bottle filler stop mechanism, put there from gunk when I transferred to the bucket from the carboy.
Any suggestions on a good system for setting up the siphon tube in the carboy so I don't suck up spent yeast while still trying to maximize yield from it?


Tiny bubbles in the wine may be fine, but just give me lots of them from the fermenter!
 
I just brewed a dark chocolate stout. My fernentation closet smells like chocolate cake, and the krausen looks like it too. Kinda tempted to take a bite!
 
i bottled my second AG batch, an Imperial Red Honey Ale. I am really looking forward to this one. Same one Catdaddy66 worked on. (^^^^^) He helped me with it.
 
Bottled my Two Moe's Smash Pale Ale...

So excited about this one.... second beer I've finished since having my chest freezer.. and what a difference it makes! This beer tasted and smelled fantastic... can't wait until it is carbed up.


Also, I'm ready to get a bench top capper.... tired of the butterfly style.


Cleaned everything up... my fermenter is ready to go.... thinking an English Mild is up next.
 
Measured out grains, for an IPA, and crushed them. Getting ready to brew soon.
 
It was a busy day. Built a counter flow chiller and a hop spider. Started a cider. Kegged a brown ale and an IPA.
 
Ordered an STC-1000
Moved house and it is first time I have really needed to worry about temp control:mad:


Where did you order this from? I need one but don't know where to get them... Thanks!
