What I did for beer today

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Kegged some and bottle primed some beer made form a wort share. Hull Mellon and Belma hops nice aroma.

Attached my brand new regulator to my freshly filled CO2 tank and had significant leakage through the threads on the tank. A trip to Home Depot today for some yellow Teflon tape has me up and running again.

I had to replace the gas connector yesterday. Guess who's tank is now zero? I gotta get me some of that Teflon tape and trade in the CO2 bottle.

Picked up 55lbs of 2 row and 55 lbs of belg pills, and two different yeast strains, came home put the grain in gamma sealed buckets and made a starter with some of the extra grain. Mashed the all grain starter in my smoker since my oven doesn't fo that low. Worked great!

 

[govner1]

Brewed a 6g AG batch of a Wheat IPA using Columbus & Citra.
I also ordered ingredients for two more brews from a local HBS for pickup next week.
If I’m stuck at home I might as well brew!

Staticsouls, does your oven have a keep warm feature? I ask as on mine the lowest i can set it for baking is 175, but if i choose the keep warm feature instead i can set it as low as 140. Might be a useful tip for others that run into the same issue. I used the oven for my mash yesterday and was happy with the results.

After my LHBS road trip yesterday, made 25 gallons of RO water. One of the items I picked up at the LHBS was 4 ounces of Neo-1 hops, never seen them for sale before. They are supposed to have a "bright lemon" flavor. Want to try to work these into a tripel or pale ale recipe. Cogitating. Smoking a butt and drinking evil black coffee. The grain mill is already set up. Carpe diem!

 

[Moose_MI]

Brewing 10g of Chocolate Milk Stout...going to add Cherry extract to 5G and Hazzlenut to 5G

 

[OG-wan Kenobi]

Gonna slam a wheat beer together real quick

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Keg some bottle prime some, the rest of the wort share different hops and different yeast.

Cool beans! I didn't even know I had that feature. Thanka

I transferred 10 gal of Kolsch off the cold break

 

[Saunassa]

Bottled up my blonde or is it a pale ale?Not sure what defines one from the other.
Either way, the Hornindal played well and my wife gave it her seal of approval.

 

[gbbeer]

Bottled my coffee chocolate milk stout. Ordered supplies from my LHBS for two future batches:
1. Milkshake IPA
2. Whiskey barrel aged chocolate stout

 

[kmarkstevens]

Yesterday I started the hot mash experiment (mashed at 185F), let it cool overnight, and today pitched Windsor yeast.

 

[ba-brewer]

Yesterday Brew a batch of galaxy/strata golden ale, fermenting half with 1318 and the other half with wlp029. Wlp029 was about a month old slurry and is taking it sweet time getting a going. Contemplating top cropping the 1318 if wlp029 is not going by the morning.

Did some moving of beers from one keg to another to make room for a strong bitter that needed kegging, kegged the bitter.

Primed the last couple beers I kegged to save a little CO2.

 

[Brewbuzzard]

Got the kolsch down to 60 oxygenated and pitched the yeast.

 

[seatazzz]

Brewed an Amber lager this morning, now patiently waiting for the yeast to start showing some action. They're thinking about it, just not going crazy yet. Moved my latest Citra/Sabro IPA to the garage floor to finish dry hopping; weather is getting a bit warmer so it's fine out of the ferment fridge. Ordered some Saaz & CTZ hops to get the inventory back where it needs to be. YVH is only shipping on Tuesdays and Fridays now but they should get here by the weekend when I'll brew up another Czech Premium to replace the one I drank the heck out of the last two weeks.

 

[bracconiere]

it's 1am, so technically yesterday i brewed beer.....i know not exicting, but i keep my fermenter next to my taps... and probably am going to stay up all night, so look forward to the first bubble, when i pour a drink...

 

[BrewMan13]

Kicked the schwarzbier, cleaned the line, kegged and tapped my NEIPA. Did this one a little different using 1056 since it's what I already had. Got great attenuation; gravity sample tasted decent not amazing, but we'll see it it fares once it's fully carbed.

 

[pshankstar]

Dropped off a 6-pack of various beers to a good friend. This was his view after I rang the doorbell and took off like a bat out of hell.

Does doing home improvement to earn beer tonight count?? [emoji1787][emoji1787]

 

[brewbama]

Cleaned my pump from brewday the other day.

 

[Robert65]

Brewed on a Monday. Forced retirement and a lockdown, no schedule anymore. Gotta get used to it.

Of course

 

[kmarkstevens]

In the middle of mashing the 2nd of a 4 part experiment with hot mashing (185F) vs regular 158
F mash vs a cold steep and then mash (158F) vs a second running of the cold steep + 1# of 6-row. Go me.

 

[BikerMatt]

Lusting over electric brew kettles thinking I've deserved me a birthday present trying to budget for one...

 

[Dave Sarber]

Mashing an experimental tripel right now. Going to try this with Neo-1 hops for bittering and flavor, sticking to Styrian goldings for aroma.
