What I did for beer today

[brewcat]

Worked on the kegerator. Had to build some stabilization for the back kegs. Wasn't confident they would just sit on the back hump. With that ready for testing, I need to work on the gas hose system. Hopefully can get that done this week, plus a brew day.

 

[TomRep]

Cut off some corny keg gas tubes and cleaned a few kegs. Getting ready to brew again after a year and a half (or so) hiatus.

I dry hopped my clone of Two Hearted ale with 2oz of centennial. Just poured them straight in the primary, sans hop sock.

 

[CavernHill]

Purchased a fermentation chamber for my SsBrewbucket and conditioned 10 gallons of water for a brew day tomorrow! View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1490830379.328418.jpg

 

[BikerMatt]

Dropped the Streetfighter ale fermenter into a cement trough in a snow/water bath to cold crash, bottling this weekend so hoping to clear it a bit

Began assembling my new brew kettle setup after receiving all but two fittings in the mail. Hoping to have my test run on Sunday.

 

[MaryB]

Bottled 11 gallon of my house ale.

 

[catdaddy66]

Checked my wee heavy that I wanted to bottle this weekend. Dizzamn if there isn't the start of a pellicle on about 15% of the surface area!!

Don't quite know how to address this issue, but I know I don't want a sour wee heavy.

Grumble grumble grumble...

 

[Alpotun]

Bottled a pseudo-Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde batch.

Bottling my Two Hearted clone today.

Pouring out my infected wee heavy as an offering to the god of sanitation...

Homebrew marathon today. First thing in the morning I brewed a bitter. After cleaning and lunch I kegged a maibock. Then cut a piece for the kegerator and worked in the hop yard. Now having a homebrew. Might do it all again next week.

 

[Brizzo]

Brewed a Russian imperial stout today- yesterday I bottled 5 gallons of an 18month old Flanders red on sour cherries and also brewed 5 gallons of a Munich helles. Great beer weekend

 

[Erik_Mog]

I drank beer...and bottled 5 gallons of my Gizzy Face APA.

 

[Totally]

Cleaned my keezer lines and kegs.

 

[morbster]

Got my last fittings in, so I was able to leak test my new eBIAB build! And it failed in several spots, woo! Hoping to have everything buttoned up for an inaugural brew this weekend.

Moved this back into my pantry, ever try to get a 30" wide fridge through a 30" wide door? Had to remove the ice maker solenoid because it stuck out, and a couple bolts because the heads were catching. Drilled the door and got the faucets mounted. Waiting on some parts to come in so I can plumb things but getting close to kegging! Drilled for 3 faucets, will order 1 more next month. Need to clean it up(it had been in my front porch and got mud splattered and dirty this winter) and then maybe paint it... has a little rust starting here and there.

 

[GJOCONNELL]

I checked all four of my frementers to make sure things are moving along as planned and to top off the airlocks. (#1 - Tart of Darkness Clone [6 months in] #2 - Hard Cider #3 - Consecration [ 9 months in] clone #4 - I Heart IPA)

 

[pshankstar]

Bottled some beers (and hard cider) from the kegs using the "Last Straw". Cleaned and sanitized the one kicked keg from bottling. Then I filled it back up with my SMaSH brew (Maris Otter and Opal hops). Cleaned the fermenter too. Now it's 3am and I have to get up soon for work. Boo! [emoji16]

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Washed bottles

 

[MaryB]

Drilled 2 holes in the side of the fridge for CO2 lines(high pressure, serving pressure), put together gas lines and liquid lines... need to mount the CO2 distribution block and the drip tray after I pickup some self tapping screws. And fill the CO2 cylinder! Then I am ready to start kegging!

 

[seatazzz]

Kegged my Smash House IPA (2 row and Mosaic). First IPA I've made in a long time that turned out good. Dry hopped with 1oz Mosaic at 6 days and dropped another ounce in the keg. It's going to be a minor hop bomb but the sample tasted terrific.

 

[govner1]

Kegged my Ninkasi Believer clone, cleaned carboys & transfer equipment plus checked my system for Tuesday brew with my daughter.

 

[garzlok]

Went to the Classic City Brewfest and drank many beers [emoji482]

 

[MaryB]

Drank homebrew and yapped with my neighbor... took a down day to let my back heal more...

Canning some starter wort right now. After the batch that's in the pressure canner is finished I'm calling it a night. Tomorrow I will fill the rest of the canning and get them done. This way I should be set for the remainder of the year if not longer. After all said and done I'll have 12 pints and 12 quarts. Woohoo!!! [emoji2]

 

[sven945]

Bottled a bretted Saison (initially fermented with WY3724, then transferred to a glass carboy with Yeast Bay Brussels Brett for 4 months). 12 champagne bottles, and it's tasting really good already. Can't wait for it to be carbed up and in the bottles and to open one up on a hot summer's day.

 

[kal]

Checked on my Belgain Saison (down to 1.003!) and milled grain/measured hops for a batch of Electric Hop Candy to be brewed tomorrow evening.
