What I did for beer today

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Washed bottles, cleaned a fermentor (for mead~gasp~).

I was ready to brew a Helles today. After 8 hours out in the heat working in a play set/Play house I’m just going to drink water and some beer later. I did get my water “campdened” and pot cleaned so I’m ready to roll tomorrow morning

A British Golden ale is on my to do.

 

[camonick]

Put a fairly expensive order in to MoreBeer for equipment to make yeast starters, miscellaneous ingredients, and a whole bunch of supplies to convert my gas and beer delivery to EVAbarrier lines.

A British Golden ale is on my to do.

Came out a tad darker than I wanted but not by too much. I did add a half pound of caramel 10L so I guess it should have been 1/4 pound. Almost hit target of 1.047, I got 1.045 , Acceptable.

Started the diacetyl rest on the marzen. Also kicked the DIPA, so the IPL was tapped after I cleaned the line.
Original plan was to brew tomorrow, but I just have too much beer right now, so I guess it's next week.

 

[seanjwalker1]

Finished my brewing at 5:45pm. 11pm she was bubbling away!!!

 

[aharri1]

Brewed a small batch 2.5 gal cream ale. Plan go add mangoes and a vanilla bean in secondary for a summer style popsicle truck thang. 4.5% target.

 

[Transamguy77]

Kegged all this today, 10 gallons of an Irish red, 10 gallons of a lemon lime wit, 5 gallons of skeeter pee and 3 gallons of hard cider. There is also 10 gallons of an all citra IIPA in the other keg and 5 gallons in the keezer

 

[Saunassa]

Brewed up a batch of cream ale and used Voss Kveik to ferment it. Pitched the pack of dry yeast at 3:30pm and by 5:30 there was a krausen formed.

 

[grampamark]

Kegged the lawnmower beer I brewed about 10 days ago.

Did you use Voss for your yeast and if so how did it come out?

 

[grampamark]

Nope, US-05. This is, essentially, a HB light beer. 85% Pale Ale, 12% White Wheat, 3% Carapils, Magnum and Cascade to about 25 IBU, finished at 3.9 ABV. The keg sample tasted like light beer with a little actual flavor.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I added fruit to a mead last night and just before bed gave it a swirl to degas a bit, well a purple eruption filled the airlock and made a small mess. Changed it this morning.

 

[NoviceBrewer420]

Built my first recipe for an Ipa does this look good?

 

[Joshua Hughes]

Getting ready to bottle a Kveik Pilsner. Changing out ice bottles for my Helles. Allowing my ESB to raise a few degrees, I’ll bottle it Saturday or Sunday

 

[Joshua Hughes]

Bottled.

Way too much crystal malt; I would say 1lb in an IPA is the max; some would say even less. Needs more 2-row, less Munich (I do like it in the grist though), and if it was me, less flaked oats. Also, celeia is a very mild hop and besides not being really ideal for IPA's, will get lost with the other heavy hitters.

Thanks for the input. I will make some adjustments

Sitting through an all-day Zoom conference on online education for when school starts in a week. But I'm drinking beer while learning, so there's that.

I'd rather be taking all of the bottles in the keezer with yeast dregs and making up cultures for future brews. This would allow me to drop my blonde ale into the keezer for the cold crash and CO2 as well.

Kegged my fruited sour with blueberries, vanilla beans, and cacao nibs. Made a starter with imperial julius for my once a year crazy IPA with 15oz mixture of pellet and cone hops.

I don't understand how you guys..and gals..can stomach all that bitterness!!! I start feeling like I'm drinking cyanide when IBUs go over 30!!

Lmfao. Mostly whirlpool and dry hop, but still around 60 IBU. Perceived bitterness is lower though because of only 1.5oz of boil hops haha. I can understand your point though, I've had some that was ridiculous.

Told my babies how proud I am that they are overcoming a cold and overcast summer. Children need support and love, to give them the confidence to grow up strong and bear good fruit (flowers).

 

[Immocles]

Brewing.

APA with centennial and cascade. Finally getting around to using kveik Voss dry packet! Exciting stuff.

 

[JAReeves]

Before work today, I managed to brew up a gallon of 1.040 wort for dregs. Waiting to see proof of life from: Allagash, Stone, Petrus, Westphale, DuPont, and Trader Joe’s Belgians.

Kegged the Black is Beautiful stout.

Tapped the Red Rye keg out by filling up a growler for a co-worker for his weekend.

Put the keg of Centennial Blonde into the keezer.

 

[seanjwalker1]

Today was week 3 of the Mexican lager for the neighbors. Dropped temp down yesterday to 36, added gelatin finnings till next Monday then will transfer to secondary, do a D rest till Thursday then bottle carb for 7-10 days. Then back into the fridge a couple of weeks for further lagering. Also the Brittish Golden is coming along nicely.

 

[Konstantianus]

Bottled 51 bottles of my Scottish 70/- which is now a Scottish 80/- and pitched a starter of WY 1099 into my English Brown(ish).
