What I did for beer today

[seanjwalker1]

What you don't use Greenwich time?? [emoji3]

Eastern Daylight. But who knows who lives where and from where they are posting? Several time zones just in the U.S alone..?

 

[Schlenkerla]

[emoji23] ok...if you're into that!

I ordered a Polish Pilsner.... It was green when it arrived. It wanted to be Irish.

Makes sense!

Kegged 2 beers and did some cleaning. This will be the first time with 2 beers on tap since upgrading the kegerator, can't wait!

 

[Novacor]

Hmmm. I wonder if your preferences settings effect that. Check under preferences of your time zone is correct.

Holy smokes you fixed my timestamp issue! I always wondered why the times were so weird, turns out my default time zone was set to Reykjavik.

 

[bradccook]

Kegged a barley wine.

Im not sure 3 vanilla beans is enough, but ill find out in a week when i have to bottle it for my sisters birthday. I used dole frozen strawberries, pureed with the pound of sugar and added when fermentation started to slow down. View attachment 618096View attachment 618097View attachment 618098

Depends on the quality of the beans. With vanilla, it seems like the more you spend, the better the quality(there has to be a point of diminishing returns). I made a chocolate stout years ago with three full beans and the vanilla was maybe too prominent for my liking. Hope it turns out how you imagine!

48 hours into fermentation of my Sour IPA later today I will pull a sample for gravity/pH measurement and depending on the pH reading will pitch Swanson L plantarum pills into the beer. Then will let her sit another week until dry hop and packaging.

HB Dry Irish Stout

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Washed and sanitized bottles, planning to package the cask aged red. Opened up to check the gravity —pop fizz- ugh. I put the bung back and have been “burping” it periodically. The gravity did drop a couple points, though it was stable going in. The flavor is developing nicely, getting bourbon notes with out adding it. Perhaps tomorrow.

A homebrew first for me tonight. I judged a flight for our clubs big comp this weekend. Had old ales, strong british ale, and british golden. Went well. Judged with a guy that is pretty experienced and was close on score for most beers. Another early judging session on thursday and main event saturday.

So was mine! And here I thought everybody else here was posting stuff in the dead of night....

Going to grow a starter of wlp565 (Belgian saison). Also caring for my brown ale brewed yesterday and blonde stout brewed St Patty's day.

I had krausen after 9 hours on my brown after pitching a 1.25L starter (30 hours). Happy birthday to me!

 

[aharri1]

Racked my German altbier into the keg and threw some fresh wet hops on top from the plant and put it on gas to get ready to serve for the beer festival Saturday that my local homebrew is participating in!

Bottled a couple of entries for the Hurricane Blowoff competition.

[Brewbuzzard]

Attending the 33rd annual Bluebonnet Brew-off.

Watered my plants. Comet is getting thirstier as it produces more cones!

 

[ApolloSimcoe]

Purchased taps and shanks for my not yet done Keezer

Ransacked the house to count how many 22oz bottles I have available for bottling tomorrow; came up with 34 if I dump a really old batch of raspberry cream ale from last year. So tomorrow will be dumping those, soaking some labelled bottles, and rinsing & sanitizing. NOW I remember why I switched to kegging as soon as I could.

Make sure you taste a couple before you dump them! Might have smoothed into something quite delicious!

Two are in the fridge now. Last time I had one was a few months back, tasted okay but supercarbed. We'll see.

Yesterday I helped a homebrewer I met on this forum (who lives super close to me) grind some grain so he could brew this weekend.
Today I dryhopped my red IPA, kicked the wild sour, and cleaned the keg and tapline it was on. Being that it was a sour, I was a bit more thorough than usual in my cleaning.

 

[histo320]

Brewed a Maris Otter Amarillo SMaSH. Only issue was missing my steeping hops temp by 5 degrees but I'm sure it will turn out well.

Getting over a stomach bug so this was the first time I brewed without having any brew to drink. Cant wait to break in my keg system with this one.

That sounds like it might be good...have you made it before?

Worked on my electric brewery today and went from maybe 90% done to 98% done. Tomorrow I'll finish it and brew a 5-gallon Pale Ale.

 

[aharri1]

My homebrew club poured a lot of our home brews to promote our group at the local beer festival!

 

[cochised]

Kegged my SN pale clone
Happy with colour I think
Had a slight off taste at first sip but diminished so think it could be a good one

 

[govner1]

Transferred my Tocobaga clone to kegs. Put in lager chamber to cold crash then cleaned fermenters and transfer equipment.
