What I did for beer today

[philipCT]

Tapped the Rumble, an AG Pliny clone, at our annual flag football game. Got rave reviews from all, even some of the beer saavy girls. Got the usual few suggestions that I should stay a brewery - bad advice but I always appreciate the sentiment Kicked the keg.

This was brewed following Vinnys article in every last detail. I brewed it the same way as last year as far as i could tell from my notes, but this year it had a sensational hops profile.

Dupe

 

[biochemedic]

Backsweetened, bourbon spiced and kegged my cider, and kegged my graff... Pretty stoked at how this year's cider is pretty much dead on from last years (which came out really good)!

 

[brewman551]

Bottled ten gallons... Five of Spiced Winter Ale, and five of Kama Citra, both from Northern Brewer.

I briefly pondered my foamy pours, then turned the kegerator back on at the wall.

Then I drank some warmish beer.

:smack:

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Cleaned a kicked keg and then kegged a batch of beer last night.

 

[BUCKNUTS]

Cleaned 2 kegs and now taking advantage of crazy mid 50s temps to brew a batch of Rye Farmhouse Ale.

Finally got caught up with re-writing my 2nd brewing book after the comp lost a good part of it. Added to it & corrected along the way. now I can concentrate on getting it close to done. Still got some bottles soaking in PBW after too many gushers. Guess it's time for annual clean the bottles season...

 

[BigMack]

Got my keezer set up and kegged for the first time. Shed a tear of joy as I looked a the empty bottles that I didn't have to fill.

 

[alagaren]

I just stepped up my starter for my first lager brew this weekened.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Stopped at Airgas and swapped out 2 empty co2 tanks (one horribly out of recert) and got 2 shiny ones. Score!

Got my keezer set up and kegged for the first time. Shed a tear of joy as I looked a the empty bottles that I didn't have to fill.

Congrats man, i couldn't stop smiling the first time i pulled a pint from mine.

 

[BrewerBrad82]

Today I brewed 10 gallons of an American Pale Ale, kegged 10 gallons of an Imperial IPA, and gelatin fined an American Lager

 

[Peruvian802]

Kegged a holiday cheer brew for my buddy's party next week.

 

[Arty76]

Got my new 10 gallon Tall boy kettle and Edelmetall burner today, can't wait to use it.

 

[BigMack]

Congrats man, i couldn't stop smiling the first time i pulled a pint from mine.

I keep walking by the keezer and staring at it as if it will speed up the beer carbonating. I'm doing my best to wait long enough for the first pint pulled from it to be perfectly carbed and delicious. This is almost as hard as waiting for my first batch to carb up in the bottle. It will be so worth it though.

Getting a slow start to clearing part of the man cave to prime & pain today. 60's all weekend!

 

[signpost]

Bottling up four separate 1-gallon experimental sour batches. Halfway through so far. 10 bottles out of the blonde unfruited and 9 from the one with peaches. A dark unfruited and another with cherries to go. And they all were blended with a beer that tasted great but never carbed that had a bunch of honey in it.

 

[unionrdr]

Got done primering the man cave with Killz2. got the computer set up rather precariously, but it works...

[CJ-3]

Bottled 5 gallons of Wee Heavy

 

[BamaProud]

I cleaned up one of the messiest boil-overs in history.

 

[unionrdr]

Did that a couple batches ago...on our new stove! SWMBO was not pleased. Gotta paint top coat in man cave today so I can put the new desk together & get things back in the room.

 

[kman6234]

Cleaned up my brewhouse and added a 3rd tap to my kegerator

 

[pat10323]

Kegged my first batch of homebrew ..yay

 

[BigMack]

Pulled my first pint from my new keezer. First time ever kegging after many many bottled batches. Laughed maniacally thinking about how much more I can brew now that bottling day no longer exists.

 

[PrairieDawg]

I did my first batch with my new Wilser Brew bag.
3.5 gal Cascadia Dark Ale. Hopped with Columbus, Chinook and Amarillo.

 

[unionrdr]

Gotta get some ESB, pepper IIPA & Whiskely stout in the fridge for Christmas in a bit. I hope the Imperial, at 3 weeks in the bottles yesterday, will be enough. Took too long to finish the last few points on that one.

 

[Bulls Beers]

Making a yeast starter for a brew on Monday.
