What I did for beer today

[BurlingBrew]

I documented it here and will keep it up to date as other models that work come about: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/Brew-Bucket-Stainless-Steel-Fermenter



Kal

Great, thank you for the link. Are you using a temperature controller with those wine coolers? Was not entirely sure reading your process.

 

[kal]

Nope. The fridges we can be set from 39 to 64F, allowing a wide variety of beers to be produced from lagers to ales without any additional modifications. Actual wort temp may be as much as 4 degrees higher.

(See my ferment and package page for more details and breakdown of how I use the fridges).

Picked these up this evening.

Bottled my 2nd batch of beer. Basically the "Wit de Nit" recipe from Randy Mosher's Mastering Homebrew. I tasted a little of it and it reminded me of the Hoegaarden beer; the flavor is "funny" although not bad and I imagine it is the one typical of belgian yeasts (not too familiar with them yet).

And I'm green with envy at Kal's brewing setup.

 

[pshankstar]

Bottled my small batch DIPA. 18 - 12oz bottles and 1 - 22oz bottle (to share at the home brew club meeting).

Then the joy of clean up afterwards.

 

[beermanpete]

Made a yeast starter for the brew day on Sunday.

 

[BigMack]

Brewed up a 5 gallon batch of a Mosaic/2-Row SMaSH while working from home. I've been using 2-row from a local maltster and it is ridiculously good so I couldn't bring myself to add any specialty malts to the beer.

 

[oujens]

Thought I would test my IPA tonight that I kegged last weekend. Would have helped if I remembered to turn the co2 back on after purging! Don't know why I closed the valve.

 

[Dfitz]

Ordered pipe fittings and pump for my new spike boil kettle.

 

[ChelisHubby]

Tasted the beer with vanilla, after 5 days the vanilla is weak it might get another week to strengthen!

 

[MVKTR2]

I simply bought beer helping to feed perhaps 1000+ people who work in the 7 breweries represented in my two mixed 6 packs as well as those involved in distribution, shipping, farmers who grew the raw materials, miners who collected the ore to produce aluminum cans and bottle caps, pigment suppliers who delivered pigment to ink companies for printing labels, loggers and tree farmers who supplied the wood that became paper at the mill for labels and holders. There are so many more also most obvious being the beer store owner and employees, their landlord and even the mm hmm taxman.

Sorry, the power of economies to deliver sustenance and wealth via mutual cooperation inspires me. Simply buying such a simple product literally impacts 1000s of people in meaningful positive ways.

 

[beermanpete]

Bought malt and hops for Sunday's brewing.

 

[govner1]

Racked my Centennial Hash IPA to secondary using my new love2brew CO2 transfer system and dry hopped w/ 1 oz hash. Cleaned both carboys & transfer equipment.
Put my Hibernation clone on tap.

 

[beermanpete]

Brewing a Firestone-Walker DBA clone.

 

[BudgetBrewer]

Brewed 10gals chocolate stout. Cleaned, re-plumbed stuff that was likely fine the way it was...lol

 

[Murphys_Law]

I'm giving it my all to kill a keg tonight so I can fill 'er back up!

 

[MaryB]

Bottled 11 gallons of my house ale(Strong Bitter). Weighed grain,hops, and water additions for another batch to be made when I get up. Friends who hate ales love it so I need to keep it in the pipeline. Later this week I am trying an experimental Belgian Strong Golden since I have a spare fermenter I can tuck away for awhile. This time of year my pantry hovers around 62-65 degrees so perfect ale fermenting space!

 

[ChelisHubby]

I just bought a Spike 20 Gallon kettle and a Jaded Hydra!

 

[Yeastieboy]

Kegged a Pilsner from my Chronical but like an idiot, I had the dip tube turned the wrong way and missed 1/2G of beer above the yeast. Oh well. Brew and learn. Its always something!

 

[Staticsouls]

avoided a mess by swapping an airlock for a blowoff tube

 

[pshankstar]

Picked up my 50# sack of 2-row late last night during our monthly home brew club meeting. It's nice being able to get "group buy" pricing!

 

[kal]

Make a yeast starter for a Kolsch that I'm going to brew on the weekend!

Kal

 

[BigMack]

Kegged up a pale ale early this morning to free up a fermentor so I can brew this weekend. Spending a little time over lunch putting together the recipe for my Azacca Blonde.

 

[pshankstar]

Purchased a pound of Yeast Nutrients and Gypsum during my lunch break.

 

[apl_seed]

Bought a new brew bag and yeast for this weekends brew sessions.

 

[Arty76]

So I Kegged my brown ipa today, I dry hopped it but was trying to figure out a way to keg it without getting all the hops in the keg, I tried putting a nylon over the auto siphon , which worked for a few minutes then got clogged up, I moved the nylon to the end of the racking hose but still had trouble with it, it slowly finished and the beer came out clear of hops but it was kind of a pita, any one have other suggestions?/

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Ready for gifting...

 

[alexnova]

Helped do splits for the DC group buy today.

 

[catdaddy66]

Bottled my pilsner today. Got an abv of 5.6% from an OG of 1.055 and an FG of 1.012.

Then I cleaned and organized a bunch of my brew equipment and stuff...
