What I did for beer today

[Novacor]

Tapped a Cashmere blonde and a Medusa pale ale. First time with the new setup and 2 beers on at once, it's awesome.

As a side note, I swapped out the one tap tower for a new 2 tap version, and the foam issue that I'd learned to live with is gone.

Just finished milling the grain for the two brews I'm planning for tomorrow. If the first one kicks my butt can always brew the second one on Sunday.

Fertilized the hop plants and picked a few ripe ones to test them and make some tea!View attachment 619625View attachment 619626

They are beautiful!

Bottled 5 gallons of Sweet Stout. It tastes great right now, I can't wait to sample one in a couple weeks!

Put together a clone recipe for New Holland’s Dragon’s Milk Stout. 24 pounds of grain for a 6 gallon batch....oh yeah...mash tun gonna be up to the brim

Got my girlfriend to join untapped so she can stop asking me, "What's that one I like again?"

Go through it slowly. My sweet stout is good fresh, but really gets great after about 6-8 weeks after packaging.

Oh, let's see... I got my bottles sanitized to bottle my blonde stout tomorrow. I picked up 55# of pilsner malt and 10# of flaked rice and barley. Seems my LHBS ordered just the rice but received it mixed with flaked barley so he discounted it 70%... Yay! I was thinking of using it in a cream ale or a frankenbeer of some description.

It will be beer... Oh yes, it will be beer!

Drank lots of beer, ordered hops, grains, renzimes. [emoji111]️

 

[BrewMan13]

Brewed up the 3rd iteration of my wild ale; same as the 1st to blend gueuze style. Also kicked the cream ale.

Brewed up the Bastard clone this morning which is now happily building a huge krausen 8 hours later. And just finished demolishing a lovely bone-in New york steak the husband brought home for me to cook with some steamed asparagus and baked potatoes. Washed down with almost-fully-carbed WF lager that tastes fantastic. Oh yes a good day.

 

[aharri1]

Set my carbed dry English stout to serving pressure, cleaned a keg and transferred a dry hopped German altbier to it from another one with a stuck dip tube due to the hops and cleared the obstruction. Prepped to brew my sour ale for Sunday and have a starter of lactobacillus brevis going. Made a filter with a muslin bag to transfer it cleanly.

In the process of planting some mandarin trees on this 70 degree sunny day, so hopefully in a few years I can harvest the fruit and add it to a batch of beer.

 

[cochised]

Bottled a 1 gallon hoppy pale and did a 5 gallon extract NEIPA

 

[aharri1]

Brewing a kettle sour ale today!

 

[BrewMan13]

Cleaned the keg and tapline from the beer that kicked yesterday. Kegged and put the red rye on tap. Got great attenuation, but still needs to clear up some.

 

[helterscelter]

Bottled my first joam!

Started planning my next stout

 

[brewcat]

Brewed a bitter. Cleaned up the brewery a bit. Looks a little better... Still too much non-brewery stuff.

Drinking a maibock. Probably could use a couple more weeks lagering. Still good. I need to save it to share.

Checking inventory. Might need to use some older grain. I think I might brew an Irish Red instead and save the grain for another day.

 

[seatazzz]

Just got home from second job to a text from the brewpub boss....who just got his glycol chiller up and running and is asking ME how to brew a lager. Promised to work this weekend to help brew it up. Also opened the ferment fridge to gloat over the two beers brewed this weekend that are happily chugging away.

Almost 48 hours since I pitched lacto brevis for my kettle sour. Starting to taste tart. Plan to start my boil this evening

Would you skim the pellicle before the boil or just boil as is?

 

[jaymosbeershack]

Just ordered a Spike CF5. Cant wait to have a fermenter that will last for ever, and do everthing i want.

 

[ApolloSimcoe]

Almost finished my Keezer build

Built a low pressure gas rig to support pressurized transfers from my Chronical to keg.

 

[cochised]

Dry hopped an NEIPA and ordered some citra to do another dry hop later in week

Also ordered a Mosaic pale ale extract kit

 

[bracconiere]

Brewed yesterday, now i'm bleaching my malting tub for a barley soak, and starting my week long process of brewing the hard way....

 

[BrewMan13]

Got my yeast starter going last night for a doppelbock this weekend. Have to give it plenty of time to do it's thing.
