I have various lagers, a stout and a porter on tap. Nothing hoppy.

So I went out and got some Hopslam and PseudoSue.
 

Yeahhh reckon I had itchy pockets today. The only thing that concerns me with the order is that spike brewing tells me that a 1/2" recirc port will be large enough to properly whirlpool. I guess we'll see. As they say, the proof of the pudding's in the eating.
 
Bottled my Pink IPA..FG sample tasted wonderful, can't wait to see what it tastes like after carbing..BTW, FG was 1.018 after an OG of 1.058
 
Pitched yeast in my version of Da Yooper's pale ale. If I get off in time I will bring my Westy 12 clone down to 50° for 40 days.
 
I wired up my STC- 2000 to my new kegerator. Then after a brief fruitless online search I spent an unsuccessful hour turning the shed upside down looking for the instructions to set the compressor delay. Eventually found the instructions inside.

Glad I saved 2$ getting the 2000 instead of the 1000

:pipe:
 
I pondered ordering some @bottlemark bottlecaps to have shipped to a relative in the states to have them save me to cost of shipping. And then wondered how close to their trip I can wait to order in hopes of a wild discount code suddenly appearing.
 
Cleaning: 3 carboys, a coffee keg that I accidentally carbonated(dont do that), and a keg of IPA that just kicked, draft lines. Debating whether i should brew an esb today, but i'd be kind of forced to start fermentation at 68 and ramp to 71 over next 3-4 days due to an IPA schedule i'm trying to hurry along. Suggestions?
 
ordered up the new fancy bluetooth controller for my grainfather... for uh science yeah thats it.

I just like shiny things :(
 
Piddlefarted around here for a while, then got to thinking of what to brew this weekend. Found my Dead Guy Clone recipe on my work computer and decided on that, will be the third one of that series. Will do that on Saturday night with a couple of variations. Now I have 5 (yes FIVE) kegs and need to get them filled up!!
 
Kegged a rye IPA (all Citra hops) on Monday. Hit it with 35 psi which I bled and set at 11 psi this morning. Going pull a pint tonight to check the carb level and decide how many more days it should sit before drinking regularly.
 
Purchased some Vienna and Munich (5# each) and a lb each of C60, victory and biscuit malts. Also got 4oz each of warrior and comet hops.

Woop woop!

I brewed a New England IPA today, that I'm calling "Electric Hop Candy".

Should be tasty!
