Made a starter of wlp810 (San Francisco Lager yeast) for the Altbier I'm brewing tomorrow. Then some general clean up and prep for a smooth brewday.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Cleaned and passivated my new stainless brew buckets. Just finishing the mash rest on 10 gallons of blonde. Other general cleaning of the brew area

 

[JonM]

Kegged my Simcoe/Amarillo IPA and it's the first time using my new in-keg dry-hopping filter gadget, so I'm excited to see how this turns out.

I'll be glad to get the bbqing done so I can take my shoes off, eat & drink some more beers after driving that truck back & forth in traffic all day.

Brewed a saison along the lines of Prairie 'Merica, except where 'Merica is a Pilsner/Nelson Sauvin SMaSH, I added a little bit of Munich and Vienna to the grain bill, and Saaz hops along with the Nelson.

Postponed a brew session until tomorrow in favor of a thorough cleaning of the entire brew line including pumps, chiller and a conical. Disassembled all ball lock valves. Everything is very shiny now

 

[unionrdr]

Me too, besides rearranging the whole room. Center of room is too cluttered, so I needed to move things around, get some boxes out & shred a lot of old mail. I'm getting tired of built-up clutter from stuff that can't go in the basement or garage.

Zested some grapefruit to freeze for next brew.

Grapefruit IPA?

I cleaned the garage. Brew gear was all over the place. Managed to condense and roll one of my shelves back to its rightful place.

I backed the Brewtroller rebirth kickstarter. I've always loved the idea of the product, and now that I'm converting to electric I feel the need for more automation. In the meantime I'll likely brew with something I kludge together using an Arduino mega.

Today I bottled up my latest batch and came up with the lable design.

 

[Trippel-A]

Established a structure for a homebrew competition among my local Ingress team. 60% of the score will be people's choice voting, and 40% will be replicability, so that the winner will be a signature team beer that all of us can brew for events.

 

[LBbrew]

Another successful brew day in the books. Airlock is dancing.

 

[unionrdr]

Gonna continue on with cleaning & re-arranging the man cave/brewery. Gotta get my Irish red bottled up if it's finally settled.

Brewed 10g BCS American IPA. I'll dry hop this to make it a little extra Amerikun.

Had a really fast start on fermentation. Pitched a 3.5L yeast starter with 2 1056 smack paks in it. I had cold crashed, decanted, then warmed it. PItched at 6pm. Blow-off rig was bubbling by 10pm.

This morning it was going great guns. The thermowell temp reading was over 68 but the fermentation chamber was down at 61 trying desperately to keep the fermentation temp down.

Okay, sorry for the back-to-back posts, but it's been a busy day in the brewery... kegged 10g of BCS American Amber. Somehow there was a little extra left on the fermenter for tasting. Even flat this is fantastic stuff. Cleaned the fermenter it came out of.

One thing I love about brewing is that there is always something to do down in the brewery. Even if it's only to keep an eye on something fermenting, or test a gravity, sterilize some mason jars, build a new gadget, make a starter. And then there are brew days - the days everything comes together. Just love it.

I kegged 5 gallons of 9 month old apfelwein, bottled a gallon of it in wine bottles, brewed a DIPA, kegged 5 gallons of strawberry blonde, cleaned some fermenters and a couple kegs, and cleaned out my tap line. Also did all the dishes and a load of laundry to appease the lady that lets me brew

 

[Brew_G]

When I get home, I'll have received my Bayou Classic SP10 burner. I'll also make a starter for my Half-Nelson IPA, to be brewed this weekend.

 

[catdaddy66]

Gonna bottle my IPA with green bullet and warrior hops

 

[govner1]

Helped a newbie brew his 1st brew (extract w/ specialty grains) last Saturday. Did a follow up today. All going well.

Re-wrote & re-wrote again my 2nd Hb book after formatting snafu's from open office...

Oh and washed the bottles when I was done

Euphemism?

Bottled five gal of gluten free pumpkin beer. Initial taste suggests it will be very light tasting, is that what it's meant to taste like? Living in New Zealand I've never had opportunity to taste pumpkin beer. Those sorts of beers don't really appear anywhere.

Pumpkin truly has a mild taste in and of itself. But a lot of so called "pumpkin" beers should really be called "pumpkin and spice" beers. Where theres loads of nutmeg, cinnamon, etc.

AKA . . . disgusting

 

[Oceantendency]

Cleaned a keg and my conical with 1 step this morning before breakfast..Going to keg my wild yeast experiment tonight.

Made a WY3711 starter for my saison I'm brewing on Sunday

Kegged my Belgian IPA after dry hopping w/ whole hop Citra.
