What I did for beer today

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Put the mosaic hop pellets I got from Farm House Brew Supply in the freezer. Plan to brew a sMash with it soon.

 

[Pkrd]

Wandered into the shed and checked that the STC1000+ I programmed 5 days ago when I dry hopped had begun to cold crash my India Red Ale.
Felt kinda sad my beer doesn't need me anymore.

I pressure canned a bunch of starter wort. While I was transferring the jars from the canner to a milk crate, one of the jars had a blowout - the bottom came completely off, which means I spent a good chunk of the afternoon washing the floor, cleaning the stove, washing the rug, etc. I guess it could have been worse, but what a pain in the butt.

I cleaned the keg from a Munich Dunkel I kicked last weekend and kegged a English Pale Ale. The EPA is now in the lager chamber cold crashing along with a keg of Vienna Lager. I'll add gelatin in a cpl days then a few days later get it on CO2.

 

[philipCT]

Gelled a Robust Porter that I had crashed on Monday. Friday will be keg day!

 

[Yeastieboy]

I just cracked the fermenter fridge to get a status check on last weekend's ESB progress. It's still in there!

 

[BigMack]

Brewed up a batch of an English Pale Ale. It is based off of Brulosopher's Tiny Bottom Pale Ale. Smelled great going into the fermentor.

Got tired of using co2 to clean beer lines so I built on of these

And tried it out. Works great.

I like it!

So that's an aquarium pump with a ball lock outpost attached? Pretty cool...I may stick with the CO2, but still, pretty cool!

Went to the my lhbs and picked up ingredients for two batches one Abbey weizen and a dipa View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1460229380.750708.jpg

 

[KaapseVlakte1]

bottled my Irish Red, and put my Dry Stout on the IR yeast cake

 

[PeteNMA]

Stained my keezer collar and painted the top with two coats of chalkboard paint

 

[erick0619]

Just pitched my yeast, man it feels good to be done. Later on today I'll be doing some yard work and then setting up again for another brew day

 

[BigMack]

Spent about 4 hours buliding and setting up my raised bed and trellis design for my cascade and centennial rhizomes.

 

[ChelisHubby]

Bottled beer for my friend yesterday and brewed a baby wheat beer for a party late next month!

 

[erick0619]

Set up to brew a dipa about to collect my second runnings. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1460335167.375354.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1460335183.819551.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1460335195.242917.jpg

Well it was yesterday, but put my last batch in the keg for the first time. No more bottles for me. Today I drilled the fridge for the shank and handle. Should be drinking in a day or so.

 

[Yeastieboy]

I researched how to make a hop spider for my eBIAB system. Lotsa of good ideas on HBT.

 

[erick0619]

Just put away the IPA I brewed today 10 gallons this weekend that's a first for me and I over shot my og by 10 points yikes!!!

[philipCT]

Pitched the slurry from a 2 liter starter of 3068 to my Dunkelweizen. Never used this yeast before. Looking for some pronounced clove aromas from a 62 degree fermentation. Bubbling gently after only 4 hours. Put up a massive blow off bucket because I'm told to expect a very vigorous krasening.

 

[PeteNMA]

Just reset the gap on my mill to a more recirculation friendly 0.045, previously it was gapped using a credit card, so a nominal 0.038, and some pre-RIMS recirculation tests showed that the mash stuck after about ten minutes.

Not wanting to eyeball the gap, a set of feeler gauges was five bucks from Amazon. Erred on the side of too wide than too narrow, now a nice consistent gap all the way across the rollers

 

[Alpotun]

Tried my hand at making some Invert sugar for an upcoming stout recipe, looks and tastes like it came out pretty close to what I was shooting for.

What does inverted sugar add to the stout?

 

[bendog15]

Kegged up my 9% amber IPA. And took a look at a friends kegorator he picked up for free. He got quite the deal! A little TLC and its gonna be cherry.

 

[Alpotun]

What does inverted sugar add to the stout?

A few gravity points...first time I've tried using it, may not add anything noticeable but just one of the ingredients of the bill. May not be traditional, but
The color turned out like I wanted, didn't burn, and didn't crystallize when I cooled it so I'm satisfied.

 

[Yeastieboy]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

 

[bleme]

Kicked my first keg!

 

[Yeastieboy]

Congrats!

 

[BigMack]

Brewed up a 5 gallon batch of an American Wheat with coriander and orange peel. Have to throw in a brew for the SWMBO every once in a while.

 

[alexnova]

Checked on my roggenbier in primary (still smells like beer!) then hooked up my new nitro system to pull the first pint of snoatmeal stout. It needs a little more CO2 but it's promising
