What I did for beer today

[jcav]

Just kegged my Irish Red that I make every year and the flat sample already tasted amazing!

Cheers,

John

Cleaned a bunch of carboys I've been lazying on for a while...oh the gunk! (As you can see I still have the necks of two soaking to loosen the last of the gunk....) Should've taken a before pic too!

Brewed a batch of pale ale using warrior and green bullet, which is why I named it Green Warrior... See what I did there? Lol

Bottled the saison that was brewed 14 days ago.

Cooked dinner in order to have beer to wash it down.

Mashing in on my North German altbier. I also picked about half an ounce of fresh wet hops from my plant that were readym I'm going to use those to add to the flavoring hops along with the tettnang for the last 15 minutes of my boil since I don't have much. Still stoked my plant is productive though ! 1st year 4 months in.

Was that a partigyle? Or (more likely) two separate mashes? Looks awesome...

Pitched my yeast into 5.25 gallons of pale ale this morning. OG was 1.058, and I hope to get to 1.010-12.

Actually two different mashes! Congrats on the pale ale I'm sure it will be great! The German altbier was 1.056 Irish stout 1.048

Put a blow off tube on my German alt Bier. Since I've been making yeast starters my beers seem to go nuts. This is actually a fourth generation of wlp 1007.

 

[seanjwalker1]

Bought some hole punch drill bits from Harbor freight so I can drill my own holes in bung stoppers for thermowell

 

[Novacor]

Set up my first ever blow off tube today, after the bung got pushed out of the 3 gallon Fermonster.

While I was cleaning up the mess, I learned that krausen is much thicker and creamier than I imagined. I always pictured it as being like the head on a finished beer.

 

[Immocles]

Brewed a partial mash honey nut brown ale, repitching my Nottingham yeast from the Irish red I bottled over the weekend. Bubbling away and krausen thinly forming within 4 hours.

 

[Master]

Bought the ingredients to make my Bohemian Pils.

They were out of WLP800, so I grabbed 802.. Might finish a tad dryer..

Going to make a 12 gallon batch Monday, and will start the first stage of the starter tomorrow.

Looks like my comet plant is starting to ramp up its cone production!! Watered and configured some bines today.

That's the beauty of repitching yeast!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Preparing a bourbon barrel to age a red ale. It had dried out, but is nearly water tight now by morning it should be good. Also checked the gravity on the ale, tha sample tasted really good and will be complemented by the barrel aging.

Got a starter going for my sour ipa using dregs from hermit thrush green st SIPA

 

[catdaddy66]

Going to brew a blonde stout today. I had planned to do this next weekend but my brother keeps nagging for me to "get 'er done!"

Grrrrrrrrrrr...

 

[pshankstar]

Turned more stickers into magnets and placed them on the kegerator/fermentation chamber/beer fridge.
@TwistedGray, do you see El Jefe? [emoji6]

 

[CJ-3]

Making a few loaves of bread and some dog biscuits from last weekends grains

 

[seatazzz]

Brewed up a jalapeno amber today for the husband and a family friend who loves that style (I do NOT) but a brewday is a brewday. Also pulled the WF lager out of the ferment fridge to sit in the cold garage overnight before kegging tomorrow; should have done it today but I am TIRED after spending all day yesterday on a plane getting home, and going in to work this morning on a Saturday so Monday won't be a sh*tshow after boss doing my job for a week.

Yesterday I waxed the wooden cask I had prepared (the Angels share was a bit too large) later today I'll sanitize it again, check for leaks then fill it.

 

[Leapsandbounds]

I put some nibs and vanilla beans in vodka for a Neapolitan Stout (strawberry, chocolate, vanilla).

 

[Schlenkerla]

I'm in Kona HI. Almost bought a beer shirt ”Dyed in Beer.". It was $35 dollars. Walked away thinking I do that myself on accident.

It was this one.... I think "Dyed In Beer!" is their brand.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Ha! If I have another dumper, this would be a way to get something out of it.

 

[Brewbuzzard]

Brewed 15 gal of Pale Ale.

 

[AJinJacksonville]

I sniffed the crushed grains of my upcoming blonde ale, and squeezed the bag of Centennial and Cascade hops.......any day now......

I've got one of their 5 gal ones myself!

Yesterday - kegged a chocolate milk stout and brewed an Amarillo Pale Ale

It smelled great when I was preparing it, and that process seemed to wash most of the color and aroma away... So today I’m likely to top it off with some bourbon.

Awesome!! I moved during the fall and didn't care for my barrel like I should so now it has a pretty decent leak under one of the rungs. I got some paraffin wax and plann to rub it all over and hopefully seal it back up.
