A big fan of beers and especially of trying new tastes of beer. Yesterday I found a page http://www.ranking-piw.byscrap.com/ and I'm very excited. You can find here many types of most rated beers that are in Poland. I must admit that some of them even I didn't know.
Wish you the best

Added gelatin to my Gaelic Ale to clear it up quick so it'll be nice and purty lookin.

 

[eSePeludo]

kicked on the kegerator so i can start chilling down the 10.5 % RIS ive been keg conditioning for 4 months. Hopefully when i tap it in 2 weeks ill only have to deal with 1 very yeasty pint.

 

[SteveH aka shetc]

Bought 2 white oak spiral thingys

 

[BigMack]

Kegged up my Patersbier so I can give it a couple weeks to carb and clear up for the holidays.

 

[schiersteinbrewing]

Cleaned 3 kegs and filled with a mild and a 10g bock, cleaned 3 fermenters, disassembled taps and cleaned them, cleaned beer lines, cleaned co2 lines (some how had back flow in one the other day)

 

[MaryB]

I have debated kegging but I don't see all the cleaning needed as saving me much time...

 

[govner1]

Kegged my Evil Twin clone & moved my Cappuccino Stout to secondary & dry hop plus added cold brewed Kona coffee.

 

[Pantherjon]

Drooled over some brew porn over at probrewer.com...:O

 

[hagar]

Got a partial mash recipe dialed in for a first attempt at a dunkelweizen. Also ordered ingredients for said recipe. Should be brewing this weekend.

 

[seatazzz]

Kegged my latest IPA in hopes it would taste better after carbing....not. Going to dump it. Sour as all hell. On the plus side, stopped at Big Lots and picked up a digital thermometer with a long probe to better manage mash temp for the brewing this Sunday. Researching building a false bottom for my new (to me) mash tun that used to be an extract barrel as well.

 

[govner1]

Brewed a 6g AG batch of my Smoked Rye IPA. Nailed the numbers.
It's sitting in my ferm chamber warming to 66°F & I'll oxygenate & pitch w/ Denny's Favorite

 

[BigMack]

Dry hopped my APA with 1 oz of Mosaic and 1 oz of Simcoe. Smelled amazing.

 

[OddBrew]

Ordered a 10 gallon spike brewing kettle!

Happy birthday to me!

 

[TBC27]

Cleaned a kicked keg. Then cleaned my kegerator beer line. Just tapped my bourbon vanilla stout for the holidays. Cheers!

 

[BigMack]

Kegged my Simcoe/Mosaic APA. Smelled amazing. Makes me want to drink one of the kegs on tap a little quicker so there is a free tap for it.

what I did for beer today...

Doughed in around 10am, planned a 90min mash, maxed out my mash tun so I had to steep some grain separately. As I am about to collect the first runnings I find I have to deal with a stuck sparge while I've got other stuff going on, so that took a long time. Second runnings also gave me a stuck sparge. Third runnings actually went ok. 90 minute boil in the dark because stuck sparges, and throw in below freezing temps, with a very full kettle. I simultaneously had my phone and flashlight fail while I realized my sprayer full of water was frozen, while I was at risk of a boil-over.

Feel asleep waiting for the wort to chill, even though it had been outside in the snow for an hour and a half it was still hotter than heck so I stuck it in the sink with cold water. I finally wake up at 2:30am, transfer, pitch yeast, start aerating (second time I've used the aeration system, I think it was originally designed to be for an aquarium) only to find that I had filled up the carboy to the point that aerating like that would cause it to foam over (despite adding some fermcap-S), so I spend a few minutes just plugging it in and unplugging it, trying not to make a mess. I make a half-donkey'd effort to clean up, and now it is about 4:30am.

This BDSA better be freakin' awesome. Wyeast 3822PC, OG 1.105, 3gallons. I believe it was based on Jamil's recipe in BCS, but on the high end for IBUs because I'm aging this thing as best I can.

Yesterday: 2kegs, 2 blonde's, and a I don't know. Your think'in 2 kegs, 2 blonde's, what a man, but you understand 2 kegs and "I don't know": tank:. It's not like that! Repaired 2 kegs, brewed 2 gal extract (blonde), 2 gal partial mash (blonde) and 5 gal AG kit, (1st BIAB) the stuff in the kit and the instructions didn't match, so I kinda winged it, we'll see.

 

[libardinho]

Bottled 5 gal of milk stout. My first AG stout recipe. Used S-04 but only reached 1.022 FG (OG 1.054) Need to do a little research on this

 

[smokey]

Cleaned 2 spent kegs, kegged a 2 hearted clone, drank some HB breakfast stout!

 

[Ike]

The GOOD: I kegged my second ever keg of beer. I'm STILL smiling about how much better than bottling it is. It's purged and in the kegerator, bedded down for a couple weeks of carbing and conditioning.

The BAD: when pulling a celebratory quaff from my FIRST ever keg, it made a dreadful gurgling noise. Much to my dismay, I think I kicked my first ever homebrewed keg! ...and, a full two weeks before the next one will be ready! ... ...

 

[Pkrd]

Assembled (mostly) my four tap coffin.

Ran out of grout halfway through tiling the splashback. Hopefully it doesn't look too piecemeal.

 

[JonM]

Mixed up a batch of root beer for the nieces who will be here on Friday.

 

[MaryB]

Weighed out 20 pounds of grain, 4oz hops, the water mineral additions. Brew day when I get up...

 

[texmedic49]

Finalized my keezer plans and got together a list of stuff I am buying today.

 

[Pkrd]

Kegged my Bav Hefe, tiled the backsplash on my coffin. Productive day!

 

[govner1]

Kegged my Cappuccino Stout clone & cleaned carboys & transfer equipment.
Racking my Smoked Rye IPA to secondary & dry hopping tomorrow.

 

[eSePeludo]

tapped a keg of 10.5% ris

 

[MaryB]

Added my starters to the 2 fermenters from yesterdays brew session. 3-4 days I should be able to bottle if this ferments normally!
