What I did for beer today

[DurtyChemist]

Made an all grain yeast starter (10 ounces pale malt) with some yeast I've kept under beer since about November or maybe January.
Cleaned a mini keg I borrowed from a club member for a 1 gallon batch.
Entered my Celebration Ale Clone recipe from BYO into beer smith.

I should really clean the rest of my kegs but I'm just not that motivated right now. Maybe in a few minutes when I realize how easy it will be to do.

 

[KYBLUE]

Added gelatin to a 3 gallon batch of CO3C.

 

[Schlenkerla]

Bagged my home made 120L crystal malt.

Almost got what what need to make Randy Moshers fundamental stout from 100% pale malt.

Need to make 10 lbs of mild malt next.

 

[beermanpete]

Racked my Rauch Me Gently to a carboy for lagering.

 

[BrewMan13]

Calibrated my new pH meter, measured some reserved samples from bottling my lambic-style beer and a wild yeast experiment. Also examined my streaked agar plates from said wild yeast culture; looks good to me...ready for prime time I think.

 

[itsnotrequired]

gravity reading on my french saison. down from 1.065 to 1.018 in a week but definitely needs to drop another 10+ points.

 

[brewbama]

Ordered ingredients for my Vienna Lager for Cinco de Mayo.

 

[BudgetBrewer]

Emptied a keg. lol Hey, its 1 more to fill up!

 

[seatazzz]

Got antsy and checked the gravity on the House IPA I brewed Sunday (don't hate me cause it's beautiful). Down to 1.012 from 1.059 in less than 3 days, hoo boy. Then realized I'm out of hop bags to do the dry hop. Now trying to figure out where in this busy week I'll have time to run to Home Ripoff for paint strainer bags; kegging at the brewery tomorrow, bowling Thursday and Friday, helping a friend move Saturday and Sunday, and trying to fit a brew day in there somewhere to use up the rest of the grain I have on hand, to keep the pipeline going. My brain hurts.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Checked gravity on 2 brews, tasted samples- all is good. Have 2 kegs soaking.

 

[milldoggy]

10 ozs of dry hops on day 7 for my neipa, that's on top of 8oz in day 3. 10 g batch. Pushed co2 through the dump valve to limit o2 exposure. 10psi was way too much. Had foam coming out my tri on the lid and hop dust was blowing in the wind.

All we are is hop dust in the wind.

 

[brhenrio]

Looked at temp and bubble activity of my fermentor

 

[seatazzz]

Checked co2 tank to make sure I have enough to force carb the two kegs I'm going to fill this week, and mentally went over the checklist for brewday tomorrow, doing a hoppy brown. Need to find me a 20lb co2 tank cheap although my 5lb usually lasts me about 3 months. Also made sure I have enough left in the two kegs on tap to take some in growlers to the moving party I got roped into today.

 

[Setsumi]

Ran out of CO2 Thursday. Took for fill, too late Friday will get Monday. Just looking at keg. Sies.

 

[hagar]

Checked SG on my amber. Looks like its on track for bottling on day 10.

 

[Schlenkerla]

Ordered ingredients for my Vienna Lager for Cinco de Mayo.

Brewed a pale ale. Vacuum sealed 2 lbs of hops. 4 more pounds to go. And talked to the wife about buying a RIMS tube.

 

[BudgetBrewer]

Cleaned kegs to get 10 gallons of a Hopwork Orange out of the conical and into the keezer. Brewed a blonde ale, cleaned a fermenter.

 

[itsnotrequired]

gravity reading on my french saison. down from 1.065 to 1.018 in a week but definitely needs to drop another 10+ points.

checked today, down to 1.005. another couple points and off to the kegs.

also got a starter going for an upcoming american brown ale.

 

[Phingertoes04]

Setup new keg in keezer, it holds four so I'm buying as I need...(2down 2togo). cut and installed the ball locks, filled and started force carbonation 30psi

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Bottled 2 small batches of blond ale.

 

[seatazzz]

Kegged up the bittersweet red I brought home from the brewery last weekend, and washed the yeast for the first time. Can't wait for next brewday to see if I did it right. Saved a big jar of wort from the brown I brewed today for use in the starter too.

 

[Phingertoes04]

Brewed my first AG batch today! Happy to say all went well for the first time

 

[itsnotrequired]

transferred a starter to the fridge for later decanting

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Got a yeast starter going for a wit I'm brewing in a day or two, and did some cleaning.

 

[MaryB]

Brewed 11 gallons of my "house ale" and froze my butt off. 30 degrees and 75% humidity is miserable!
