Bought a cereal killer and a bag of MO! Also bought a pound each of Citrus, Cascade and EKG. Goal is to go bulk this year and save some $$.
 
Ordered a inkbird temp controller. I can now have the kegerator and my ferm chamber going at the same time, rather than having to share my ranco unit between the two. Also ordered some star san and pbw . Picked up beer for the rest of my weekend and the week, gotta have my stock full.
 
Finally installed my sight tube from brew hardware. One thing I never liked about sight glasses was I was afraid of breaking them. This design seems to work well. It occurred to me though that I think the numbers are supposed to be on the kettle. It's just didn't seem like a good place to me because it's it's so far away from the tubing. I think once I use it I'll figure it out and then have to order more decals. :)
Either way, easy install and adding 10 gallons of water didn't result in a leak.

Ordered 4 ounces of chinook and azacca hops each for more single hop IPA l am doing this year. Also ordered some filter pads to see if they will work in my filter housing. Figure it'll be nice to clear up a beer using a filter, maybe even filter through some hops.

Huzzah! Post #10,000!
 
Brewed a 10 gallon batch of a Belgian Dubbel, dry hopped 20 gallons of IPA, and made a yeast starter for a 10 gallon batch of black IPA which I hope to brew Friday.
 
Took a gravity reading of the stout I brewed 10 days ago.
Looks like it's a stuck fermentation.
Stirred it gently and am raising the temp to 68 to see if that helps.
 
Bottled up some cider, to make room for beer.

Got my new kegging eq in the mail. Called the only place in town that will fill your CO2 (not swap) to hear that they close at 5. Left work 30 minutes early to get there by 4:45, only to find the door locked and a sign stating that they close at 4:30. I'm so mad, I'm just going to swap my brand new bottle for an old crusty one (and save $10)
 
Why not get an old crusty exchange tank but put down a deposit instead of swapping out your new shiny tank? Then you can get the new one filled at your convenience and have a spare
 
Pressure canned a crapton of starter wort. Spring's around the corner, and there will be a ton of brewing starting soon.
 
I brewed up 6 gallons of Centennial Blonde. I wound up overshooting my preboil volume so I did a single gallon batch of "miscellaneous pale ale" with some leftover centennial leaf hops.
 
5 minutes left in the boil for 10g of my American Pale Ale. Rebuilding the pipeline after a rapacious holiday
season.
