What I did for beer today

[CJ-3]

Pulled a gravity sample of a light pale ale i made. After 7 days it's fallen from 1.052 to 1.012 Sample tastes very good and I am interested to see where this goes.

Today all I have done for beer is drank beer.

 

[govner1]

Racked my ESB to secondary, cleaned primary fermentors, transfer equipment plus four kegs.

 

[Tactical-Brewer]

Nothing today unfortunately, but two days ago (forgot to post) I bought all my cpvc and little parts to make my sparge arm. Pretty stoked to get it finished up.

Cold-crashing a roggenbier and oatmeal stout ... in the snow. Might keg one or both later today.
Washed and sanitized two kegs.

 

[BigMack]

Wondered why my attempt at a Celebration Ale clone has a completely muted hop flavor. The only thing different about this brew from all my others was using 2015 crop hops, and this is the first time I've had this issue with hop flavors. Hopefully it is just something wonky with this batch.

 

[alexnova]

Turns out that I didn't get the Spiedel clean enough and dumped the roggenbier due to a blue-green mold infection. (Thought it tasted a little funny.) Of course, I wasn't smart enough to look at it before siphoning into a keg so I had two more big things to clean today.

 

[bransona]

I bottled a hull melon ipa and brewed a bacon ale. Oh, and I demolished many bottles of brew

 

[Baja_Brewer]

Close vessel transferred/kegged my Grapefruit IPA (too bitter), Belgian Dubble, and APA (more like a secondary for the APA) - harvested yeast from each (US-05, WLP 545, Nottingham.)

Set up a stout for tomorrow, going to drain off the Nottingham and pitch it.

 

[Elkobrewer]

Christmas oatmeal stout keg emptied so replaced it with my #9 clone in the kegarator. BTW I will miss the Christmas oatmeal stout can't wait to make it again for this upcoming Christmas.

Finally got to finishing some brewery cleanup. Darn leg & joints not so good all the time.

Mosaic SMaSH with Marris Otter. You can thank me later.

So far today I've turned on my PicoBrew for beer. My GF started the batch for me, I'll be chilling it when I get home.

I finally decided to rinse the yeast from my beetroot belgian that I kegged a month ago. Opened the fermenter and found a nice pellicle forming. Smelt great. Tossed the fermenter. The joy of cheap fermenters.

 

[Oceantendency]

Was making a yeast starter for my Dry English Ale, when I discovered a tiny bit of yeast left in Edinburgh yeast tube, so I made enough starter to regrow the Edinburgh, boost the Dry English, as well as revive an unkown yeast. The unkown yeast I believe was from my Sunkist Honey IPA, poured some of the wort into a shot glass and holy cow she was good, just wish I could remember which brew that was from. hhmm well I'll use it on an experiment and just drink to find out.

 

[BUCKNUTS]

Racked my Farmhouse Sour and Sour Saison to secondary for a few months of aging. The saison is at 1.006 and the farmhouse 1.008 after 2 weeks in primary. Both beers taste good but clean, no souring or funkiness.

 

[Pkrd]

Kicked my keg of OC pale ale, and hooked up my Stone Ruination. My beetroot Belgian is almost out so looks like I'll be drinking 8.5% beer all week until I get my Black IPA kegged. Hurry up yeasties.

Also ordered the stuff for a panhead supercharger clone.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Washed and sanitized bottles for chocolate milk stout that is ready to be primed and made Belgian candy sugar for a Kwak clone recipe.

Picked this up for a ferm chamber

 

[govner1]

Brewed a 6 g AG batch of my Grapefruit (hop) Wheat IPA w/ my daughter.

Cleaned bottles. Man, I am finally getting a lot of bottles. Just a couple months ago I had none. I now probably have 75ish. Not a huge amount but I am planning to make it to where I'll probably do each batch 1/2 beer bottles/ 1/2 soda bottles, so it will allow me at any given time to have 3 types of brews bottled.

I'm with ya man, I HATE bottling, but until I can afford to get a regulator kit and some kegs, I'm pretty much right with you there! Luckily I had a bunch of bottles from my Dad and I's stash from years ago, but it has been a real beer(BEAR) getting some of them cleaned!

 

[johnhenryrolf]

BTW, what I did for beer today...I drank a bunch, then ordered some dme...going to bottle this weekend, then maybe can brew next week.

 

[slym2none]

I bottled 21 bottles of a Cascade-heavy rye pale ale tonight, then swirled around the last 5-6 ounces of beer & dumped the yeast slurry out into a jar for later use.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Primed and bottled a chocolate milk stout, should be a good desert beer for St Paddy's Day.

 

[slym2none]

Brewed 2.5G of an IPA. Used lots of hops. Me gusta!

 

[Leezer]

Spent time reading on this forum since I am a cpa in midst of tax season and have to live vicariously through all of you for a couple more months until I can brew again.

 

[CJ-3]

Bottled up 5 gallons of AHS Shot In The Dark.

Pretty tasty I must say!

Make sure to check the for sale forum. Thete is a thread there for free bottles.

Even better, have where you live in your profile and anyone who reads your prior post can contact you if they have bottles to spare.

I have a few cases I can spare but I have no idea where you live.
