What I did for beer today

[1977Brewer]

I have that same shroud on my grain mill.

You have great taste in Seasonal IPAS and jury rigged dust protection.

 

[KavDaven]

I melted together both lines on my wort chiller.

I was so ANGRY!

Now I have very short lines on my wort chiller.

I am now relaxing with an orange wheat home brew. Ahhhh.

 

[Scriv]

Bottled my saison, racked a Liberty Ale to secondary.

 

[Oceantendency]

for the last day of American Homebrew Craft Beer Week I brewed a Wild Yeast Experiment, drank some Anglish Sippah and Juniskeet Wheat.

 

[unionrdr]

Took a first FG sample of the PM Irish red. Not quite there yet...dry stout is just past initial fermentation.

 

[cochised]

Ordered a porter mash kit

Cleaned the keg after my son's first birthday party yesterday
Had an APA on tap and by all accounts it went down very well.
Carbonation wasn't perfect due to Co2 running out during the week, but we persevered

 

[bragona71]

brewing Pliny clone!! oh and drinking lots of home brew!!

 

[jperry]

Cleaned up the brew spot, and got things ready for my next brew day. Disassembled, and cleaned off, my monster mill. Swept the floor, and consolidated some equipment.

[philipCT]

Bottled off the last of a keg of Centennial Blonde. Switched that tap to a BCS blonde ale that just finished carbonation. Cleaned that keg. Sterilized some mason jars I'll need for yeast collection later this week. Tested gravity on a porter that's on day eight. Inching up on terminal.

A good evening's work in the brewery.

 

[unionrdr]

Sitting here watching my two fermenters doing their thing with rehydrated S-04 in both. It always amazes me how fast S-04 can be.

 

[Alpotun]

Just finished putting a starter of washed S-O5 on the stir plate, getting ready for the Saturday brew.

 

[signpost]

Just killed off a keg off Legacy hopped pale ale. It was great while it lasted.

Now I need to dry hop a Calypso hopped pale ale to fill that keg. And I need to keg up a Belgian noidin amber made with 2 lbs. of melanoidin malt in the grist.

 

[govner1]

Milled the grain for a 6 gal AG batch of Belgian IPA for a Saturday club brew day.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Cleaned out 2 kegs and filled a 3rd with strawberry pineapple citrus blonde. "Fruit salad". Hydro tasted delicious.

[brewcat]

Drank some Coors to allow more time for homebrew to age. Put six homebrewed maibocks in the fridge for the weekend.

 

[JonM]

Stepped up the IPA starter using pressure canned wort (seriously - that is so freakin' easy.) and then did the starter for the Orfy's Mild without pressure canned wort. That took a little while.

I inoculated slants with the 002 I'm using for the mild. It was my first time using the new White Labs packaging and I might have messed up and maybe I didn't grab any yeast. I guess I'll find out in a couple days when the slants take off or don't.

 

[W0GWT]

Packed away 90% of my brewing stuff for a cross-country move. I left a few things out because I still have 10 gallons to bottle before the move in July.

And, of course, I'm already planning my next brew days...

 

[Four5_Brewery]

Spent 15 bucks refilling my CO2 Tank.

Bought a 6 pack of Grapefruit Sculpin.

Gave one to a homeless man.

Kegged 5 gallons of my Session IPA for next weeks basketball games.

Drank 5 Grapefruit Sculpins.

 

[unionrdr]

Checked the temps on both fermenters & took more notes. Cleaning some more stuff in the brewery.

 

[Oceantendency]

6 gallons of Chicken Chap Brown Ale including 3 taster bottles ready for the Karl Strauss homebrew competition

 

[Shack01]

Good thing I stopped at my LHBS earlier this week!

Making the hop spider...

2nd brew of this year, BMSimSMaSH (Brewers Malt[Briess], Simcoe SMaSH) to compliment the MOSimSMaSH done a couple of weeks ago...

 

[JonM]

Did my first ever test mash.

I made a metric to American conversion error and wound up with about 26 oz too much grain. At the same time, Bru'n water told me to add a bunch of calcium hydroxide. I saw an AJ DeLange post that said to be suspicious when a calculator tells you to use a lot of alkali and to do a test mash. Eureka. I have extra grain to so just that.

Test mash with the lime came in at almost 6. Tried again without it and it was a perfect 5.45.

 

[beerluvva]

Bottled my summer saison!

 

[amiller]

Bottled my BM Centennial Blonde, and brewed my second all grain BIAB batch, an attempt at a Blue Moon clone!

 

[brewbama]

Brewed a nice 1.052 Brown Ale
