What I did for beer today

[seatazzz]

Beer judging in progress. Tasted 7 fruit beers, 4 APAs and 4 Belgians. View attachment 611777

I NEED that shirt.

 

[catdaddy66]

Bottling my California common today. Gets my pipeline back up to a respectable 8 cases. I had it dwindle down to 1.5 cases... Unforgivable!

 

[ESBrewer]

Yeast ranching again.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

CDA/black IPA all packaged, just need to clean up now.

Busy day: kicked the altbier, so I cleaned the keg and the tap line it was on. Kegged my first wild fermentation; not too bad all things considered. Very tart up front, but a sweetness after you get acclimated (final gravity was high for a sour, but probably for the best; pH was 3.3). Set a gallon aside to start a gueuze project. Tasted the second wild ale (flanders red style; pH 4.1). Gravity was lower than #1, but taste was awful, using the same yeast - tastes like acetone. Also dry hopped the imperial cream ale - will be interesting to test the gravity - the brewer I got it from said his batch is at 10.2% (!)

Dropped 5oz of Southern Passion Hops into my 7 gallons of NEIPA for 7 days of dryhopping. Also put my new Winter Wheat ale with Blackberry and Cardamon on tap.

I cleaned a bit of white hazy beginnings of beerstone from my stainless fermenter and ran some sanitizer thru the MLT via pump. I’m glad I did because I found a cpl leaks that were quickly repaired. I assembled my RIMS tube and feel ready to go for tomorrow AM brewday.

Watered and fertilized my comet hop plant that has turned into a beast a little over 10 ft tall now. I think I'm going to have to install another 10 ft piece of wood to let it go down that!

I started my day by bottleing the rest of my bellini(bottleing brut ipas carbed to 21 psi is tough) then i kegged off the newest NEIPA. Its sitting under 21 psi right now. Drank the first draft of my doppel bock. Pretty dang clean for less than a month of lagering. Cleaned the fermenasaurus and 2 kegs. And am currently brewing a batch of rye pale ale. Waiting for the boil to start now.

 

[Jlco25]

Check on the lagering progress of my Bohemian Pilsner 10 more days before racking

So far so good

Love me a good black ipa. My “night RYEder” black rye ipa lucky enough to place 2nd in my last competition

 

[Dgallo]

Brewed my first MilkShake Ipa today. Made my vanilla bean tincture this evening and In 6 days I’ll be adding 1.5lb of peaches 1.5 lb of pineapple, 1lb of mango, and a lb of lactose. Then dryhopping with mosaic, citra, and denali when the secondary fermentation from the fruit is over. The ticture will go in the keg. Really looking forward to the first pint

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

@Dgallo congrats on the award. This is the first one I’ve brewed and it was at hubby’s request after he sampled one at a fund raiser. I’ve never had one, so I was just working from research. The sample was pretty tasty and a smooth easy drinking beer.

Thank you. Congrats on the first one. It’s a fun beer to work with. I love the how the earth/pine tones work the dark grains and then the citrus comes through just to brighten it up.

 

[brewbama]

Cleaned my pump from yesterday’s brew day

 

[seatazzz]

Added the dry hop (1oz each of Centennial and Crystal) to my Brut IPA that I brewed last weekend. Sorely tempted to take a sample but restrained myself. 5 days in and krausen is dropping but still very cloudy and ferment fridge smells like a sulfur mine. Going to take a taste of it on Saturday and decide then if more dry hops are needed (Chinook? or maybe more Centennial?) or crash and keg. Have a conception in my mind of what I want it to be, and competition is coming up that I might get to enter it in. Other than that, housecleaning because Maui in two weeks and don't want the housesitter to be disgusted by my dirty house.

Rerouted some of the vines on the hop plants and installed a third wood pole on the comet plant which is going nuts so it can grow back down. It already went 10 feet up [emoji15]. Comet on the left and triple Pearl on the right.

 

[ESBrewer]

Prepared some experimental fermentations with spray malt & three pure strains isolated from a bottle of Fuller's IPA.

 

[govner1]

Ordered grains and yeast for my Tocobaga clone

 

[Leapsandbounds]

Brewed a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Clone.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

First brew using my new 10 gallon kettle. Working up a tropical stout recipe.

 

[seatazzz]

Yesterday ramped up the temperature on the Brut from 62 to 66 because first test had it at 1.020, and yeast were starting to settle out; glad I did, they woke up again and seem to be chowing down. Today will keg up the Brown Something so it's ready to bottle later this week. And planning on brewing another lager next weekend that can just sit in the ferment fridge while we're on vacation. Wonder if I can convince our neighbor/housesitter to send me pics every day?

 

[Phildo253]

Added gelatin to my blueberry berliner weisse yesterday and cleaning the keg and tap for it today. Tomorrow, I will keg the beer. Monday, I will be brewing a Centennial Blonde on Presidents Day.

 

[catdaddy66]

Just got my grain bill for tomorrow's saison ground. Purchased the flaked oats for my blonde stout. They were out of flaked barley so I subbed flaked rice.

 

[aharri1]

Bought my grains and hops for my German altbier I plan to brew next week!

 

[seanjwalker1]

Ordered a #7 stopper/thermowell combo for my 4 gallon Anvil fermenter. Tweaked my recipe for upcoming American Honey ale partial mash.

 

[bracconiere]

checking on my 'Brüt Farmhouse APA', see it's only at 1.002, thinking...i'll drink some more beer, and decide if i want to keg it today or tomorrow....probably today!

 

[BrewMan13]

Dropped off my entry for a homebrew competition. Since the drop off was at my lhbs, I got the ingredients for my next 3 beers. Got a lot of gift cards for the place for Christmas, so didn't spend a penny of "real" money.
