What I did for beer today

[MaryB]

Have to get stuff planted, did more today plus I wired the outlet for the keg fridge and got it plugged in and cooling down.

 

[Pkrd]

Chucked a 2nd heating pad in the fermenting fridge because winter is here.

 

[catdaddy66]

Bottling my saison today...

 

[Sheehan]

Brewed a milk stout.

 

[Peruvian802]

Kegged up a mostly Centennial hopped XPA which finished at 1.010 (with correction for my hydrometer).

But let's not waste that good yeast cake! Mashed in a 3 gallon all Azacca IPA.

How to keep a steady mash temperature? Mash in the oven, of course.

Brewing 5 gal Patersbier and fined an English Pale Ale.

 

[JonM]

Kegged my Cream of Three Crops and now I need room in the keg fridge so I'm working on that Patersbier. Almost empty ...

 

[SlitheryDee]

Brewed a cream of three crops. It was my first all grain. Nailed my preboil gravity. Still waiting on the post boil. This is exciting.

Edit: post boil was 1.054! That equated to an efficiency of 74.9, which is way better than I thought I'd do on a first try. Nice.

 

[Darkness]

Brewed and drank!

 

[beermanpete]

Cleaned and de-labeled bottles.
Emptied a few as well.

 

[MaryB]

Finished plumbing tap #3, ran BLC then a water rinse thru everything, then mowed lawn, watered new blueberry plants and the strawberry bed, drank beer!

 

[brewbama]

Pitched a rehydrated pack of Danstar Abbaye into the Patersbier wort I made yesterday and cooled to pitching temp overnight in the ferm fridge.

 

[govner1]

Transferred my House Dry Stout to secondary using CO2 transfer system.
Cleaned carboys and transfer equipment.

 

[johnwpowell]

made my first lager!

 

[MaryB]

Kegged my house ale that I split and used 2 different yeasts. I make 11 gallon batches so an easy thing to do. Experimental got T-58 for yeast and danged if it doesn't remind me of Fat Tyre Ale!

 

[brhenrio]

Cleaned and passivated my new brewbucket.

 

[PeteNMA]

Pulled a couple of gravity samples from this weekends brews

 

[JonM]

Kegged my Nugget/Centennial pale ale, and I used the keg hopper for the first time in many batches. (It was gunked up for a while and I gave it a deep-down hot PBW cleaning a couple months ago.) Later on I'll get a starter of 3711 going for the saison I'll brew over the holiday weekend.

 

[catdaddy66]

More bottling... this time my California common.

Yay!!

 

[pshankstar]

Supported a friend and fellow home brewer and stopped by his brewery for opening weekend today. Bought a couple of pints and a grumbler.

Trained a couple more bines with my Chinooks and Centennials in my backyard.

Oh and picked up two bottle of 120 Minute IPA for my Father's Day tradition. One for me and my father in-law to enjoy next month.

 

[beermanpete]

Bottled my Blonde Ale.

 

[RevKev]

Did a top coat on my grain mill, gloss black, turned out well. Need to spray the clear. Then attach the mill

[SlitheryDee]

Packed up the party pig full of carbonated irish red. Pulled a little sample off of it to make sure it was good. Seems alright, with none of the foaming that I'd been hearing about around the internet. Not looking forward to the 7-8 hour drive to Austin, TX im in for after work though.
