What I did for beer today

[JAReeves]

Nutri bullet. Not quite flour consistency but works for me

I will try my food processor, thanks for the idea!

 

[Joshua Hughes]

My best option lol. We’ve been using beer slurry, flour, and spent grain flour to make bread and pizza dough. My wife wants some granola

I brewed a pale ale and pitched Kveik yeast for the first time! So excited!

I got to brew with a new friend who is very obviously bitten by the brew bug. I love sharing my knowledge and seeing where he will go.

Did a kettle sour and I'm using Oslo. Then, adding 8 lb of blueberries and 3 vanilla beans in secondary.

 

[govner1]

I did a 6g AG batch of ESB with my daughter as part of a club virtual brew day on Saturday. On Sunday I moved an IPA to secondary via CO2 transfer and dry hopped with Amarillo and Simcoe.
Cleaned transfer equipment and carboys.

 

[Konstantianus]

Ordered almost everything I need for the next three brewing sessions. A Scottish 70/- , an English Brown, and an Oatmeal Stout are next on the To-Brew list.

 

[Pkrd]

Put my Lemondrop Kolsch on tap and swapped out a keg of Zythos Mosaic Pale ale.

 

[Joshua Hughes]

Did an impromptu stout brew. The other day I tried a few bottles out of the batch and it didn’t carb. So I woke up and figured I’d brew another one now! Everything went great brew day wise. Now for the hard part, fermentation and waiting. I did mix one of my flat Guinness clones with cold brew coffee while I brewed and...

Been away for a few days because, well, I am learning violin and it's too much fun. Today tapped the Citra/Galaxy IPA I brewed last weekend, fermented on Loki. I let it crash a couple of days before kegging. Was a little unimpressed with the FG (1.059 only came down to 1.018) but I am VERY impressed with the flavor. Whoever said Loki throws pineapple esters was NOT kidding. If I hadn't brewed this myself I'd swear it had half a bottle of that pineapple flavoring you can get at the LHBS in it. Bit cloudier than the Kveiking IPA was at the same age, but doesn't take anything away from it. Very juicy, malt and hops are there but the yeast really made this one. I like this yeast, can't wait to see what it will do in 2nd generation.

Been busy, haven't been brewing as often as I like/used to, but I've still managed to usually have one fermenter full. Bottled a dry hopped lager (Calista, centennial, mosaic dry hop. Calista late addition kettle hop). Tastes excellent, attenuated a bit more than I expected, which I'm extremely okay with, but I'm afraid I won't have the patience to let these lager very long...

I did something a bit off the beaten path today.

I've been toying with the idea of doing a Hochkurz mash program via three infusions followed by a no-sparge runoff. I even set up a recipe in Beersmith to see if the math checked out. It did. Since I've been hankering for a Czech pils and the weather is far too miserable to be pulling decoctions, I decided to give it a shake today.

It worked out great and really couldn't have been any easier. My chief concern was pH. I built my water in its entirety in the kettle (which served as an HLT for this mash) and this included my acid addition. I was worried that the first step was going to be awfully low. It was a bit low at 5.20 and it wasn't terribly stable either, showing a noticeable upward drift. The subsequent steps were much more stable and culminated in a nice happy 5.23 pre-boil. Mash efficiency came in at a reasonable 80%.

Without knowing how the beer is going to turn out, I'm very upbeat about this technique. It was much more relaxing than running my hooptie HERMS system and, well, anything is easier than doing three decoctions. I'd happily run this program again.

 

[Konstantianus]

Currently making a starter for my WY1728 for the Scottish 70/- and a starter/viability test for a packet of S-04 (Shipped in the Texas summer).

 

[seatazzz]

On vacation this week, heading to Boise to visit the daughter and son-in-law; so no brewing this weekend. Will probably keg off the latest WF lager later today (leaving Monday early), and building recipes for next weekend which will be a double-brew weekend. Going to do my house american strong and what I call my Sabrotooth IPA with Sabro & Citra. Planning to ferment both on some proven Loki, just for the heck of it, also to get it kegged faster.

 

[camonick]

Cleaned and sanitized a keg that just kicked and refilled it with a Vienna lager that was ready.

 

[Joshua Hughes]

Tipped some bottles that are conditioning. Changed out ice bottles for a Dunkel.

 

[gbbeer]

Ordered an Anvil SS fermenter and more ingredients. Itching to brew more beers since my last couple batches a month ago.

 

[TheEagleRising]

Helped @gwinn758 brew today at his Brewery, Thin Brew Line. We brewed a Scottish Red. Was an AMAZING EXPERIENCE! I truly appreciate the opportunity to learn to brew at a much larger scale than my HB experience.

 

[Elric]

Started a new cider for my wife using belle saison. Thing started active fermentation within an hour of being pitched!

 

[Homergah]

I didn't do anything for MY beer, but I did quite a bit for my fellow brewers. We're spending a few days in the Texas hill country. I'm helping to support all the local breweries. So I'm drinking to their success. And excess. I've really drank a lot today. But most of them have been sours from Jester king, so, as I've said before, sours have a negative effect on inebriation, I'm pretty sure there is documented something something. Zzzzzzz

 

[BrewMan13]

3 days ago: dry-hopped 2 beers; yesterday: got a starter going, and cleaned the keg and tap line from the last kicked beer; today kegged 2 beers (one to lager, one to drink now), and prepped for brewing tomorrow when it's going to be hot af.

 

[tgolanos]

Saturday: Bottled 9L of Oatmeal Stout and organized my brewing supplies
Sunday: Brewed 24L of a kitchen sink beer: Maris Otter, Pilsner, Saaz & Jarylo hops.

Brewing a version of my house Ordinary bitter except finished exclusively with some heavy late charges of Willamette, I want to get a good sense of what that hop tastes like to me. This batch is really just to build up a yeast cake for my "White Whale" beer, a Special Bitter I brewed a few years ago that I was never able to duplicate. My current theory is that I need a big pitch of second generation US-04 to get the same black cherry ester profile the beer had. Fun!

 

[Scottyward]

Brew day with Anvil 10.5. Flat tire clone looks good. Racked a double ipa from carboy to keg using Co2, and added dry hop for 2nd fermentation. First time doing this and it went well. Got a American ale on co2 carbonating in kegerator. Busy day. Made time to drink a great Irish stout. Love my Anvil.

 

[johndan]

Ordered a Grainfather Connect and some extras.

 

[Brewbuzzard]

Bought some drink some...

 

[BrewMan13]

Brewed up a marzen in the heat yesterday. Hit my numbers pretty much dead on, making the effort to brew in the mid-90's seem worth it. Started fermenting in a few hours.

 

[seatazzz]

Went out last night with the daughter & son-in-law for some great Italian food then down the street to Barbarian Brewing for some beers. My daughter (who is very picky about beer) was pretty p*ssed that her mother didn't bring her any homebrew (I forgot to bottle some in the chaos of packing/cleaning/work) but a great time was had by all, also some really good beer. Dunno where she got it but the kid loves sours; the one she had last night about made my eyeballs turn inside out but it was good if you like that sort of thing (I do NOT).

 

[grampamark]

Cleaned a keg and changed the 0-rings, cleaned my draft lines, and kegged a Brown Ale.

 

[jcav]

Kegged 10 gallons of my decocted German Hefeweizen and started carbing it on C02. Wow, the flat sample from the final gravity reading is amazing! I could drink this right now! Can't wait til it's carbed!

Went to the LHBS to pick up ingredients for this weekend. Found out they are under new management and this is a great thing as the previous owner was a bit of a jerk. New staff and they moved location to a few minutes from my house.
Will certainly be shopping there more often and less online now.
