Holy crap, I just took stock of all my beer related activities today and I think I had one of the busiest beerdays in a long, long time...
Lemme count the ways....
1) Kegged 5 gallons of my Kentucky Common so I could use the yeast cake for my Rye Red Ale I planned to brew today.
2) Ran out to the beerstore/homebrew shop that was open today to pick up grains for the Red Ale, while there I noticed a plastic bag of mixed grain labelled "Stout Mix" for ridiculously cheap on the shelf above the grain bins. Probably someone put a recipe together and their card didn't clear or something so I thought "WTF, it will be beer, anyway" and decided to grab it as well.
3) Brewed the Rye Red Ale
4) Broke in my new Lava Tools Carbon Lite Bluetooth thermometer on the brew.
5) Added 2# of frozen blood oranges to my Hibiscus, Blood Orange and Sichuan Peppercorn witbier, to get ready to keg in a week.
6) Dry Hopped my IPA.
7) Put together a Tropical Stout recipe with the "mystery stout" mix, Bavarian Lager yeast, and probably date palm mollases or some sort of strange sugar I'll get at the Bengali Market tomorrow.
8) Started cobbling together the pieces to make a gas post keg airlock so I can lager the tropical stout in my keezer.
That plus this past weekend finishing my new keezer, which replaced the one that died last winter, this one has an inline Randall where I can split the beer off to two taps, one directly, and another through the randall.
I seriously can't believe how much beer stuff I did...
Oh, yeah and the store had a 4 pack of M-43 NEIPA... so I imbibed in that as well.
