What I did for beer today

[BrewMan13]

Kicked the smoked porter (with some effort), so I kegged the strong Belgian dark ale, which is tasting very nice at such a young age. Don't plan to put it on tap yet though; reserving that spot for the NEIPA.

 

[Andrew Hodgson]

Gotta get on a Brett starter for next week and a sach starter for tomorrow. Poor planning all-around.

 

[Brewbuzzard]

Picked up some new flip-flops.

Watch out for dogs?

Watch out for dogs?

I detect a strange off flavor..hmmm

Got a quote for some hardscape work on our house today.

That has nothing to do with beer.

In discussing my garden, specifically my hops, the contractor and I talked about homebrewing, and I passed along an extra copy of Papazian’s complete homebrewing book.

There may be another convert on the way.

Today I filled a used bourbon barrel with an American Stout + filled one 5 gallon keg with the same beer.
I am looking forward comparing them in the future. [emoji482]

Hallelujah! Always in need of more constituents joining the Fermentationalist Party!!

How is that motor working out for you? Do you have a link, specs, or part number for it?

I picked 1 cubic foot of Columbus hops today.
Since it’s almost 100 degrees f I thought it would be best to have a few IPA’s first, then jump into the swimming pool to cool off, put on flip flops, climb the extension ladder and start picking until
I dried off then repeated the process.

Neighbor donated a bar fridge. Cleaned it out and replaced the door insulation. Now my hops and yeast can get out of the house fridge. SWMBO is happier.

Went looking on Amazon Prime Day sales to find a PS4 for my kid and found a deal on a 10” x 4” hop spider. It was only $4.80 off, but worth the impulse buy.

It will be a nice surprise for her when she gets back from science camp.

I bottled my apricot wheat beer. Tastes great, if a little sweet. The wife will be pleased.

Sampled my kolsch still in primary. Has a little bit of yeast bite because 2565 is so powdery but will be fantastic with a couple weeks lagering in the fridge. Tastes very "classic" and it's much different from all of the citrusy wheat beers I've been doing lately. I am pleased.

The hop spider??

Toasted some barley for next porter batch.

 

[Beernik]

I should go with that first as a prank.

Fermenter finally warmed up to room temp of 72°, took 5 days! Day 6 of diacytle rest, it's off to the basement and cool brewing bag again, stuffed full of frozen 2 liter bottles for a week to cold crash for bottling..back and forth is a pain in the nether world's! Come on Kegland Kegerator I'm dreaming of you...HEAVY sigh

 

[JAReeves]

Brewing my dry stout and drinking my red rye.

I almost bought those and then was like, wait, do i really want to put a bottle to my lips after its been on the bottom of my shoe?

 

[ApolloSimcoe]

Finalized my 100% Mosaic Hop2It clone recipe

I finished converting my old double immersion chiller (one intended for an ice bath) to two separate units, one with compact coils that will be more efficient in cooling small batches than the other unit, which is taller and more effective with 5-gallon batches.

 

[Dave Sarber]

Ordered an Igloo 120 quart cooler, a bayonet filter, a roll of stainless filter screen, some stainless ball valves, and associated stainless nipples and nuts. New bigger mash tun will happen! That was it for Monday. Today, went down to the LHBS, picked up 25 lbs of Maris Otter, yeast and hops for my next batch of barleywine.

Being a noob brewer-one year of solid brewing experience, I don’t understand this. Are there visuals? Cooling faster than the 15-20 minutes I do now is on my ToDoList.

 

[seatazzz]

Tested & tasted both lagers in the ferment fridge, that have been on a 66° d-rest for the last few days. Managed to scrape 4-5 points from each, and now they crash until tomorrow when they'll get their gelatin doses with an eye to kegging this weekend. First time using gelatin in primary; Brulosophy's article on it was super informative and can't wait to try it. Oh, and drinking before making dinner.
