[Goon]

Haha, apparently you won! I didn't see this.

[Hello]

I finally cleaned all of my beer lines with BLC and organized the lines better.

 

[unionrdr]

Finally finished delabeling bottles for my son's chili IPA. Got the last 5 in the bucket, so some extras for me when I ship out bottles of the kottbusser.

Hit my LHBS. Restocked with another 55 lb sack of Maris Otter, a bunch of US hops I don't normally get (lb each of Cascade and Centennial, 2 oz of Citra), and then some extra Challenger, and then 11 lbs of various specialty grains (Munich, Biscuit, Special Roast, Melanoidin, various UK and US crystal malts), and then packs of 1469, 1332, and some champagne yeast for carbonation insurance for bottling sours. Plus some extra wire cages, yeast nutrient, and Star-San. Somehow, every time I walk in there, I seem to qualify for $50 off

How's that Maple Bacon Ale?ipe:

It no kidding tastes like bacon with a less pronounced maple flavor. Its gonna be a good beer I'm fairly certain but definitely unconventional. Its the most unique beer I've ever had. She's in a keg now and chilling. Couple more hours before go time. What's up with the chocolate peanut butter? How is it? How'd you do it?

 

[Rotor_Head]

Made an American Honey Ale... I'm callin' it Scooter Ale. The dog likes to help.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Cleaned some kegs, filled a keg with an ipa, and dry hopped my white ipa with some help from my 5 yr old daughter.

The Chocolate Peanut Butter came out great. I did do it two different ways: the first was with PB2 deoiled peanut butter powder (2lbs) in secondary and cacao beans, slightly crushed for 4 weeks. This gave a fairly mild peanut butter flavor and reasonable chocolate flavor, a little over what you would get for a normal chocolate stout. The second method was the addition of extract to half of the existing batch. I used 2 oz of each peanut butter flavor and chocolate flavor extract at bottling. Few people like both versions, most chose one. The experienced beer drinkers preferred the non extract versions.

If I did it again, I would use less extract, probably half.

That Bacon Maple sounds like breakfast beer!

Helped a friend brew his 2nd batch of beer and he already ordered 3 more kits!

I weeded around my 4 hops plants and found my Magnum and Willamette have already sprouted.

 

[jason1973]

Nice! I have a peanut butter cup porter that I've done both ways, and the pb extract is preferred in my samplings. It all boils down to personal preference though.

Big long day for me
-brewed session black ipa, had to run to brew shop and buy extract because my gravity was way low
-racked half of Belgian blonde into keg with sugar to naturally carbonate
-racked other half into 1 gallon jugs to secondary with different Brett varieties
-started 3 gallons of cider with leftover yeast from Belgian
-made small starters to grow left over Brett for future use
-racked my split batch of supplication like beers into secondary fermentors

Still have 3 carboys left to clean and then put everything away, but it's break time.

Just got finished brewing an imperial amber and am currently listening to the ambient sounds of water running through my IC.

 

[Ski12568]

Went to my first Homebrew club meeting and really enjoyed it.

 

[Rotor_Head]

Kegged Sky Raider Maple Bacon Ale. Brewed Scooter American Honey Ale. Drank Merlin Blackberry Ale. So glad to finally have a cycle going. How does ginger Belgian triple sound?

 

[Clankenbrew]

Kegged and bottled 8 gallons of my house pale.

 

[brewbama]

Using my Irish Red Ale in a Shepard's Pie for Pi Day.

 

[jperry]

Cleaned up a mess, that my stout left me. I should have used blow-off tube.

 

[catdaddy66]

Inventory day! Damn, I either need to brew more or slow down my purchases. I have 51lbs of various grains, mostly Maris Otter. I have 14 varieties of hops totaling 48.5ozs. And I have 13 types of yeast, liquid and dry combined.

Who knew?

 

[unionrdr]

Cleanin some bottles I killed last night in the PBW bucket left over from delabeling my son's new stash. Gonna check the kottbusser in the morning & may be bottling it.

 

[Rotor_Head]

Checked the Scooter Pale Ale to see if it was still alive. Bought a sixer and gonna piss the day away with some Jimmy Buffet and Marshal Tucker....so we'll see how that all goes. You guys may have to start censoring me in a couple hours.....

 

[corn]

I learned, the hard way, how not to fill a growler from a keg.

 

[lowelldw]

Bottled 5 gal of American Pale Ale.
