What I did for beer today

[MaryB]

Brewed 11 gallons of my house ale! Trying to have all 10 kegs full going into December.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Primed and bottled 3 gallons of "golden nugget" ale sample was pretty good.

 

[GolFisHunt]

Cold crashing 5 gal of Caribou Slobber. Installed rope hoist for the BIAB set up. Organized the growing mound of brewing paraphernalia.

 

[BrewZer]

Bought me some hops today from HopsDirect!

Belma
El Dorado
Cascade

I have been intrigued by pairing Belma and El Dorado into a strawberry/watermelon IPA

Cascade because I want to do some old school pale ale.

Bought yet more kegging supplies. #thehobbythatspends

 

[BikerMatt]

Tuned my bottling wand, the tip was too long so I had to keep it lifted from the bottom of the bottle for optimal flow, cut a small piece off and filed it straight. If someone knows of a bottling wand that fully closes when lifted up (spring operated maybe) feel free to throw me a link.

Measured out my water additions for brewing Electric Hop Candy Jr tomorrow. (Water adjustment is critical to this New England style Pale Ale. Check out my step by step guide).

8:15am: wistfully sniffed the airlock
12:45pm: optimistically sniffed the airlock
4:19pm: fiddled with some loose wiring on my ferm chamber
7:25 pm: impatiently sniffed the airlock
10:30pm: waited a full five minutes for a bubble, then sniffed the airlock
Ugh. Another week in primary, then two in secondary, then 10 days to bottle condition.
1:05am: swore a solemn oath to myself to never, ever let my pipeline run dry.

And I thought I was the only lock-sniffer...

Kal, if I had the cash for a brewery and tasting room like yours it would be on the ground floor of the house and my family would live in the basement.

I'd totally deck it out for them though.:rockin:

Bottled the American honey wheat I brewed a few weeks ago. Used WB-06, it attenuated down to 1.006--87%. First time I tried that yeast. A lot of people have negative comments about it, but I took a chance to see for myself. The hydro sample I drew tasted great. Can't wait for it to condition.

Ha! I like it... maybe in our next house?

Used spent grain to make granola bars. This was the second time I did it. Turned out better than the first time.
Spent grain, dried in the oven tastes so good afterward, I have a little leftover that I’m gonna try as a cereal in the morning. To me, dry, it tastes like cracklin’ oat bran or something. I used a lot of grain for my IPA, so the leftover still has just a little sweetness.
The granola was made with some toasted oats, sesame and almond slices (all toasted) brown sugar, honey and a little semi-sweet chocolate. Oh, and salted sunflower kernels. I’m taking a couple of granola bars to work tomorrow and going to sprinkle a good amount of that granola on yogurt.
Can’t wait to try it all!

 

[KYBLUE]

Ordered a 20 gallon kettle.

 

[MaryB]

Kicked a keg, swapped in a full one... need to clean 2 kegs tomorrow and keg my house ale that has been in the fermenter for 10 days,this was done in 5 but I was in no hurry to keg it, my house ale and I just put a full keg in the beer fridge. An extra 5 days will maybe clear it a bit but I doubt it, Notty doesn't seem to clear well.

 

[KYBLUE]

Ordered a co2 regulator.

 

[Roland_deschain]

I shipped off 20 of these that I made, destined for The Cracker Barrel pub in Bradford, England.

 

[wisconsinitebrewer]

Bottled/kegged 8 gallons of an IPA that I've been looking forward to trying.

[plath]

Haven't posted here in ages, but I bottled a batch of apfelwein. Trying to get back in the swing of brewing again.

 

[seatazzz]

Pulled the PRV on the House IPA Mark 2 I kegged the other day and is force carbing...then pulled a sample. Not flat, not carbed, but somewhere in the middle and very tasty. Couldn't resist. Then had a giggle at the husband who made a bet for Movember; no shaving and NO DRINKING for the entire month. So this keg is MINE. Mwahahahahahaha.
