What I did for beer today

[wisconsinitebrewer]

Decided that having multiple temp control boxes not in the same area wasn't going to cut it.
So built and wired a new box that can control all my devices in one area: chiller (mini fridge), brew bucket, conical, and future ???
Now, to just find the final location for it

Today I will bottle my barleywine after 6 weeks in the fermenter. Then they will be tucked away for at least 6 months. They may be opened for my son's 23rd birthday in June!

While I was at it I decided to grow out some Conan.

Friday picked up an Evill Twin Grain Mill and 70lbs of grain. Then yesterday I made a Irish Red Ale and 14 gallons of Apple Cider.
I am making a Nut Brown right now and a Sweet Milk Stout when I finish with the brown.

Get those brews in the How Many Gallons of Homebrew in 2019 thread! Last year ws the most we've recorded in about 5 years, let's beat it again [emoji482]

Edit: there's also a cider thread in the cider forums [emoji4]

I built a cart for my fermenter. It allowed me to brew today and easily move around.

Bottling a double IPA.

Yesterday I brewed. Had the pot going while I worked on the car in the garage.
Today I:
Pitched US05 in 5 gallons of Rye KY Common.
Pitched s-23 in 5 gallons of Rye KY Common.
Pitched US05 in 3 gallons of Rye pale cream ale whatever... Gonna get dry hopped with a bunch of Citra.
Tonight I'll finish cleaning up the mess...

And yes, I'll put the total 13 gallons in the 2019 thread.

Surprise snow day as the boss shut us down due to weather (freight industry) so came home early to sip on some deliciousness and give the new lager a test. Might get some housework done as well....oh look, beer! Not enough time to brew since I'll have to make an effort to get to 2nd job this afternoon, darn it.

 

[6Tap]

About to dump a total of 11 oz of Citra and Mosaic hops into a 15 gallon batch of WC IPA.

Harvested some yeast about an hour ago after dropping temp down to 53 degrees and now waiting for beer temp to rise around 58 degrees before adding the dry hops to the fermentor.
Cheers

A couple days late, but was generously given another carboy full of wort from my local brewery for free last Sunday. He added more grain than he intended to, so it's going to be quite strong for the style (for lack of a better designation, I'm calling it an imperial cream ale). Immediately tried to figure out what to dry hop it with, but most of my hops are already spoken for. So I tweaked a couple recipes to free up some stuff...mostly citra, but a bit of amarillo, and an even smaller bit of sabro. Used mostly amarillo last time and it was notably different from his version.

30 gallon brew pot. I showed beer how much more I wanted it around today.

More Beer! More Beer!

Hell I need to go get some Fear cds rolling.

 

[Cantina De Jefe]

I texted someone i havent brewed with in a long time to plan a collaboration double brew day.

 

[seatazzz]

Tapped my latest lager which was the first I've done with grain I milled myself. Sipping on it now, needs some more time in the keg but very tasty. Got lagered in the carboy for 2 weeks which I think did it a world of good. Still tastes a bit too fresh but we've got other kegs to work on so it can sit a few more weeks. Oh yeah getting a bit tipsy tonight.

 

[Andrew Hodgson]

LHBS run to pick up ingredients for Sunday's saison. Will make up the starter tonight so I can harvest some yeast to keep.

Also will be making some lime hard water and sampling my carbonated beet kvass. Might bottle up a kombucha batch as well depending on my ambition.

 

[MT's AZ Ale Haus]

Camco EVO Water Filter.

$33 at Walmart

3 Stage Carbon-KDF-5 Micron Filter, removes Odor, Bad taste, Sediment, Chlorine, and Bacteria.

Replacement filters are $10 and each filter will yield 100 gallons of water.

Now I can make all the clean water I need, when I need it.

 

[MT's AZ Ale Haus]

Best $15 I ever spent

 

[Homergah]

Put adjustable shocks on my car so I wouldn't shake my beer up so much when transporting it to tastings.

I ordered a 50 gallon six weeks ago and still haven't seen it.

Close transferred an ESB from fermenter to keg.

 

[seatazzz]

Milled the grain for tomorrow's snow brew day, a nice Centennial/Cascade blonde that is way past due for being brewed. Been dumping since about 1pm and hasn't stopped yet. And remembered yesterday to drag the garden hose into the garage so it's not frozen when it comes time for chilling. Tonight watching the snow fall while sipping on some really good lager and APA. Should note here I'm 51 years old and still get excited like a 9 year old when snow is in the forecast. Yes it's horrible to drive in but it's pretty.

 

[catdaddy66]

Going to get my grain bill together for my saison. Can't get it ground until next week because my lhbs will be closed as the owners are on vacation.

Another reason to get my own mill.

 

[seatazzz]

Below link is the one I got. Fairly priced and a little workhorse. Only holds 7lbs of grain in the hopper but that's not an issue for me. Been having a lot of fun with it.

*link deleted because dumba** me realized my info was in it*

I got this one: https://www.beveragefactory.com/homebrew/pre-fermentation-equipment/kegco-KM11GM-3R-grain-mill.html

3 roller for $140, it's been fantastic so far

Luckily for me, my home brew store has a grain mill, just go from scale into grain bucket
