What I did for beer today

[unionrdr]

Beer sounds good. It just made me think of the last time I had stuffed roast pig & lil Kings.

 

[catdaddy66]

Donated about half the ingredients of a ten gallon batch for fund raising (flood relief).

 

[govner1]

Moved my Gingerbread Ale to secondary, cleaned two kegs that kicked & the serving lines & taps, cleaned two primary carboys & transfer siphon & hoses

 

[BigMack]

Brewed a Belgian Wit that is currently chilling down to pitching temps. A two brew weekend is always a good thing.

 

[HIM_Tattoos]

Brewing a session IPA, my first brew after a 3 year hietas, feels good.

 

[chisena]

Kegged Amarillo Pale. Washed some yeast. Acquired a case of mixed Bells brews from a good friend who drove it cross country.

 

[chisena]

Kegged 10 gallons of American Amber Honey Ale. Cold crashing yeast to wash and store for my next brew.

Down home punch, Budweiser, and Dr. Pepper... are you renting space in someone's fridge?

 

[BrianGee]

Racked my "Birthday Porter" to secondary. It will sit until the end of February, when in will get bourbon soaked vanilla and oak, bottled 2 weeks later, and the first opened 6 weeks after that for my 40th birthday. It's only my 3rd beer, so here's hoping it's not awful!

Just kegged my first lager csnt wait to tap this mid next month

No buddy, that's my beer fridge. Also 10 gallons of home brew

 

[philipCT]

"Monitored" fermentation activity of the Christmas Card beer. Reviewed dry hopping schedule for the Pliny clone.

Researched recipe for a Burton Baton clone. Resolved to purchase Steele's IPA book that is supposed to have one in it. Discovered I already own it. Opened a stock BB and remembered why I like that beer so much.

 

[sleepspeaking]

I threw together some crates to fit my fastracks
... oops repeated that last photo. ..

I just bottled 5 gallons of Fireside Ale (a Williams Brewing extract kit). Started at 1.072, finished at 1.018. I got a total of 51 bottles and a hydrometer sample today along with the other two samples taken along the way. It is very tasty so far.

 

[Peruvian802]

Checked the FG of a porter. Time to add vanilla beans.

3 more days till I bottle my Hellfire IIPA & hope for the best. Them big beers are gonna start getting large starters as soon as I get my hands on a 2L flask. gotta get'em to finish sooner.

 

[Brizzo]

MView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1447888547.150447.jpgmy spontaneous fermented lambic is actually showing signs of fermentation 3 days later! Success!!

 

[unionrdr]

Just put 6 bottles of Cooper's bitter in the fridge with 4 bottles of Irish red. I'll see which one tastes better with dinner come Thanksgiving...

 

[beergolf]

Wow, if I posted every time I put some homebrew in the fridge, maybe I would have 36,000 posts.

 

[philipCT]

Up early today. Added stage two dry hops to a Pliny clone. Tested SG. Stable at 010. Man that's a dry beer - and bitterness is really high. Guess that will mellow a bit.

Tested SG on the Christmas Card beer. Day 11. 014. Taster was delicious and crisp with hints of the orange zest. That'll be ready to package next week for sure.

 

[MFWINZLOW]

Had a few 19 day old bottles...they are good!

Fermenting: 6 gal Flabberhopper 44.8 IPA
In Bottle: Machete 731 IPA (all Citra)
Drinking: the green Machete 731...too bad it will not live to it's prime, but it is so good now!

 

[FatDragon]

Took SG on my 19 day old barleywine last night. Down from 24.5p to 3p so far, may still be a bit further to go. The sample was delicious, by the way.

 

[brewbama]

Smacked my 1007 German Ale yeast ...so i'll make a starter tomorrow.

 

[malt81]

I made a false bottom for my mash tun. Bought a pizza pan for this.

 

[Bulls Beers]

Stepped up a yeast starter for a lager brew on Monday. Bottling a merlot tonight.

 

[unionrdr]

Making sure my racking tube's clean & sanitized to bottle the Hellfire IIPA I hopefully saved today. Hopefully, sinking the hop/pepper sack this time will have kept it from getting infected as easily? I'm definitely getting a 2L flask for bigger starters & using a more proper amount of rehydrated dry yeast from now on with these big beers. It's definitely far more critical with the big ones. This is what I get for being too thrifty...

 

[BigMack]

Today beer did far more for me than I did for it. I like to think I built up some good beer karma with all the brewing I've done lately

 

[Bandit-brewer]

I brewed some and drank some.

 

[dcrog]

Received all my parts for the raspberrypints taplist Friday. Yesterday, and still today, going through setting up the pi for the program.

Steep learning curve for me. Reminds me of the days of the timex sinclair or the commodore 64.

Almost ready to install the chromium browser now. So hopefully I'll be done today.

Edit:

So much for that thinking. Getting and error chromium-browser has no installation candidate.
Back to researching.
