What I did for beer today

[Yeastieboy]

Ordered a 7G SS Brewtek Chronical. God help me when the wife finds out.

 

[Laakkeet]

Got my wife mad by drilling a spigot hole on my new bottling bucket and cleaning my brewing gear instead of cooking. Emptied a room temp closet for my fermenter, just gotta figure where to shove all the crap I pulled out from there. Beer oughta help with that!

Finished assembly of my two new SSBT Brew Buckets with FTSS. Now beta testing before putting some worth into them

 

[Leadpencil]

Got the water hooked up in the new brewery. Bought 5 oxygen tanks and a regulator. Got the tanks at auction, bonus they are all full.

 

[unionrdr]

Deboned some pork shoulder steaks to grind for chili later. Got an old Weaver scope from the 70's cleaned up to put on my restored 160 Pellgun. Lookin' up some more info on my new Winchester 1400CS. Beer & vodka atm.

 

[Devon]

Bottled five gallons each of Pre-Prohibition Lager and Russian Imperial Stout.

Playing around with Brewer's Friend's recipe editor to see what I will make tomorrow.

 

[catdaddy66]

Bought 5# of wheat malt for next weeks Belgian blonde ale. Got 1.5 cases of empty bottles... Yay.Oh, and I found out that the lhbs carries Cry Havoc!

Finally got around to giving a test drive of my new SS Brewtech kettle and insulation jacket for BIAB. Hopefully I can get brewing again after a 10 month hiatus. Ball valves and camlocks are a great thing. Much easier than siphoning. Also made a yeast starter with a boil over. Never again will I mess with other equipment while a starter is boiling in the stove.

Fermcap.. works wonders.

 

[brewcat]

Kegged a dubbel. Packaged some Cascade.

 

[Elkobrewer]

Moved all my brewing equipment to he new house and also my kegarator and full kegs so now I have no home brew here to drink I guess I will need to fill growlers up and bring them here until I get fully moved in

 

[Yeastieboy]

Checked gravity on pils. Still at 1.038 after a week at 48F. Once she hits 1.020 it's off to 65F then keg. Also pre-cleaned my Chronical with TSP. Letting everything dry before passivating with PBW. Then it's beer makin' time.

 

[oujens]

For the first time since November last year, I purchased ingredients and got my new BIAB setup ready for an early morning brew. Recent move has set me back a bit. Been using a cooler mash tun for the last 3-4 years and want to see what this BIAB is all about. Going to brew haus pale ale with centennial hops and san diego super yeast.

 

[catdaddy66]

Split hops with my brother (northern brewer, cascade and centennial); soaking bottles to sanitize; bought bottle caps and yeast (cry havoc and wlp028 Edinburgh).

Now I am gonna drink some...

 

[jerbrew]

Opened a package of this

Oh and I made some cider

 

[MaryB]

Ordered 2 pounds of Hallertau! Drank enough beer that my back doesn't hurt as bad, at least until I wake up tomorrow! Massive torn muscle that is healing...

 

[catdaddy66]

took og on my Belgian blonde (1.064!) and pitched rehydrated S-33. Then it's off to work so I can afford more beer stuff!

 

[BrooklynTom]

Kegged my Christmas ale, KRAMPUS a spiced dark amber. It takes a few months to mellow out, sample taste was hot ( spicy and alcohol ) but smelled great. This was based on the NB kit Festivus, with bumped up spice and extra DME.

 

[BrooklynTom]

KRAMPUS getting kegged.
Sorry for the size of photo, I tried to make it smaller.

 

[Erik_Mog]

Not today, but yesterday I dropped off my entries for my first competition. Judging is on the 9th, and awards ceremony on the 23rd

 

[NCSU_Brewer]

I dry-hopped for the first time. 1 oz of Citra pellets in an APA. Going to cold crash in 3 days and then bottle.

 

[mattrox]

I boxed up my DIY stir plate and got a starter on for my next brew.

Took apart my March 809. I've heard a lot of chatter over the years about whether or not folks take theirs apart for cleaning. Typical 50/50 stories; half found "tons of junk" and the other half found a squeaky clean interior. Of course all boast impeccable cleaning practices [emoji6]

I found no junk although it was a little stinky from the standing rinse water from last month's brew sesh. Anyhow, glad I took a peak inside for peace of mind. Neat to see the inner workings of the pump. Pretty slick. Also lubed it up and replaced the teflon tape on all threads.

 

[Pkrd]

Did my first keg to keg transfer, I think I like this dry hopping in the keg thing. Northeast IPA is on deck.
Also kegged a black IPA.

Briefly contemplated another brew night but I think it can wait until sunday.

 

[libardinho]

Dry hopped my first IPA attemp and bottled 5 gals of pale ale. These are my first AG batches ever

 

[BigMack]

I did my best to kick a keg of a delicious British Blonde Ale while watching football. Trying to make room for a lager in my keezer. The sacrifices we make for beer am I right?

 

[philipCT]

A week ago I looked at brewing plans for the fall/winter and decided to buy some leaf hops in bulk. Now this rarely happens to me but as I was looking at Hops Direct and Yakima Valley they announced the 2016 release. So I ordered away, buying by the pound because it was clear I would use it all and it would be cheaper that way.

Even though I knew I was ordering right from the hops fields instead of buying older stuff locally I was completely unprepared for the amazingly powerful aroma of the Citra leaf package I opened this morning during my first NEIPA brew session. Pungent and powerful to a degree that I've never experienced before. I might be hooked on fresh hops in bulk.

 

[Easycreeper]

Swapped an airlock for a blow off tube. Just in time. It hurts to watch my precious beer get wasted, but better than taking a chance on ruining an entire batch...

 

[schiersteinbrewing]

Had a party with about 30 people yesterday to BBQ, watch college football, and drink my beer to make room for my new brews. Today cleaned the 3 kegs they killed, transferred new brews into them, and cleaned fermenters. Marks keg washer makes quick work of kegs/fermenters, best cleaning investment ever. Now to make a ring to extended the sides to fit my brew kettles.
