What I did for beer today

[catdaddy66]

Dry hopped my Cascadian dark ale with an oz each of centennial and cluster

 

[Brizzo]

Added some homegrown nuggets, cascade, centennial and Columbus as dry hops to an IPA I brewed last weekendView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1442059806.385286.jpg

 

[unionrdr]

Warming up ingredients for another batch of Cooper's English bitter I'll be brewing up quick in awhile. Gonna make malt vinegar out of a gallon of it in a couple weeks.

 

[EtchyLives]

Entered my first competition :rockin:
Looks like I must be present to win so I guess I'm going to Das Best Oktoberfest in Baltimore next month.

 

[unionrdr]

Finally got the fermenter wiped down & spigot sanitized. 4 gallons spring water on to boil for this quick one.

 

[govner1]

Installed a new peg board for storage and drying OG all my pump
Tubing w/ cam locks.
Tapped my Back in Black clone.
Set up for brew day tomorrow w/ my daughter. Doing an AG batch of Ninkasi True Believer Double Res.

 

[ShepFL]

Worked on dialing in my new system using Biermuncher Centennial Blonde recipe. Worked my ass off but had encouragement of friends - 1 extract brewer and 1 AG brewer. Moving up from 5 gallon BIAB to 1 bbl 3V. Cleaned alot and sanitized alot. Just got done cleaning up.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T for all the nano and micro brewerers out there.

Note to self - by more tri-clamps, silicone hose and gaskets. Color code everything for each step of the brewing process.
Feeling tired but accomplished

 

[lumpher]

Got my 7cf chest freezer/ferm chamber cleaned and sanitized so I could put the dunkelweizen I also brewed today in there and get it ready for Oktoberfest

 

[philipCT]

Labeled 55 bottles of beer for my college reunion next week. Halfway through I had a bit of a beermergency when a half full case of freshly labeled bottles tipped over and smashed all over the floor. Five good soldiers down and beer and glass all over the floor including under the kegerator. I believe I may have committed verbal sin at that point and loudly as I am quite without voice still.

In the lessons learned department though: I now understand the reason for the installation instructions for the kegerator that I didn't follow about sealing the kegerator to the floor with a healthy bead of silicone. It's a real bitch cleaning under there after a spill.

 

[Zepth]

Yesterday kegged up a couple batches to free up fermenters and harvest yeast. Thinking of brewing again today but never built up a starter. Been a while since my last dual brew weekend I guess I'm out the swing of things.

 

[JonM]

Broke my freakin' 2L flask. I put it on the drying rack just like always, and it tipped over and broke on the concrete floor. Crap.

Brewing a 6 g AG batch of Ninkasi True Believer w/ my daughter

Scrubbed my Bk & strainer yesterday. Gotta put away a bunch of bottles I cleaned & clean the flask. I just wish my battery hadn't died on me...
** Just saw this on facebook. An antique bottle opener...

[Brizzo]

Transferred IPA using homegrown hops into keg for cold crash and secondary dry hop. No idea why but there is a lot of phenolic flavor to this beer, I fermented a big starter and fermented at 66. I guess it happens sometimes that a batch doesn't turn out great, hasn't happened to me in years and years. I am hoping a cold crash will drop out some of the yeast and I can make the flavor
Drinkable.

[EtchyLives]

Emptied the two kegs into bottles. Cleaned and sanitized the kegs and lines. Racked the Thunderstruck and Bit R Done to the clean kegs and put them on gas. That was all yesterday. Today I'll harvest a bunch of yeast slurry from the Bit R Done because you can never have enough S-04 on hand.

Side note: this was my first time using harvested yeast. Sure, S-04 is cheap and all but at $4-5 a batch this is starting to save a little cash. Within 4 batches I'll pay for the jars.

 

[bmorosco]

Got all my stuff together to brew a Pumpkin in the GRAINFATHER!!

[NewJersey]

Kegged 10 gallons of wet hop IPA, put 3.5 oz of the same whole hops in the SS dry hoppers, threw em in the kegs, and turned on the gas.
First time dry hopping in the keg at the same time as carbonating.

 

[Brizzo]

I think I finally got my BC grain mill adjusted right after disassembly & cleaning. Gotta loosen the right bolts/screws. Gotta box & clean some more bottles to brew tomorrow. Wanna ration out the two-2oz bags of ghosts & fatalii's for the Hellfire IIPA & mole' stout. Then lump the rest in with the scorpions & will be for hot sauce so they don't sit around too long. Sauce should be aged nicely by the time it gets cold again? Being so acidic, a 20 minute water bath should seal'em up ok?...

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Cleaned three growlers and three buckets of bottles that had been soaking longer than I'd planned.

[freebeertomorrow]

Wired up my STC 1000 and hooked up my chest freezer ferm chamber. Just a few more things and the basement brewery will be complete. Until the next upgrade.

 

[PlexVector]

After a long summer of not being able to brew...getting ready to get back in the game: Just got the pieces this week to set my BK up for whirl pooling, and mash tun recirculation and sparging without having to remove the top! Also, I finally have a separate freezer for dispensing (just picnic taps for now) and a proper temp controlled fermentation chamber. I even have a water analysis for my well water as well. And also as well, PWM controlled 24V recirc pump for the RIMS so I have better flow control. Just need to redo the control panel. I'm excited!

 

[unionrdr]

Gotta get the hops & yeast out to come up to room temp. Gonna brew up the PM hot pepper IIPA today. Gonna get some peppa sauce started too.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Bottled my Saison and racked over my Brett beers for an additional month of aging, one onto cherries and the other will get a small dry hop in a few weeks.
