What I did for beer today

[JAReeves]

First time using the New-to-Me SS Brewtech 10G Mash Tun. Next time, I'll need about 5F more on the strike water, but I think this DIPA will turn out dry and hoppy after a 2-hour mash.

 

[TheEagleRising]

My batch last night was my 1st BIAB. So definitely need to educate myself better or full volume boil and the strike or mash water(whatever it's called for BIAB)

 

[ba-brewer]

Prepped grain, water, and hops for tomorrow's brew day. A Citra-Mosaic DIPA. Tasted the Red Rye, and it is amazing.

My Last IPA I brewed was a Citra-Mosaic, just a single. Was suppose to be a west coast version but somehow came out pretty hazy. I have some rye that has lingering care to share the red Rye recipe?

Added a new false bottom to my mash tun ...

Not the best pic, I finished brewing in the rain and rewarded myself with sitting and watching football.

Cleaned and replaced o-rings on two 5G kegs. Cleaned two 2.5G and two 5L kegs. One 5G left to refurbish and I'm set to fill.

Spinning up some 1318, gonna do 20 gallons of neipas later this week...

Cheers!

 

[BrewMan13]

Brewed an adambier yesterday, then canned my pumpkin ale. Borrowed the canner from a local place I go to every week. Batch was a bit small due to miscalculations, but there were a few more than what's in the pic.

Placed an order for my kegerator build. Dual regulator. Tower and a fan to DIY a tower cooler

You going to do 20gal of the same kind or mixed, also how many of those to get enough yeast?

 

[ba-brewer]

Yesterday brewed an IPA and made space in a Keg for my Lutra Helles.

Was going to keg the helles today but got lazy, watched bubbles for while instead. Also entered @JAReeves red rye at night IPA into beersmith and did some playing around to see if I had enough grain on hand close enough to brew it. Got pretty close but wont be brewing for a little while so will get some 20L munich and crystal120.

I'll be doing a Julius clone followed by a Juicy Bits clone. That 5.something liter starter should yield enough yeast to pitch 11 gallons of the Julius at 1M cells/ml/°P plus have another 100B cells for the next starter for the 11 gallons of Juicy Bits...

Cheers!

Looks like a hell of a music collection

 

[Brewbuzzard]

Transferred the Scottish Export into the kegs. It came out so brilliantly clear. Thank you gelatin.

Heh, I was wondering if someone was going to comment. I'm old school, still prefer physical music, so I'm still buying cd's. I'm at over 900 total, mostly metal.

Even youtube throws in ads. You don't have that with CDs.

Took some of the spent grains from yesterday’s brew and combined them with peanut butter, eggs, and flour. From here I roll them out, cut out doggie treats with a cookie cutter, and bake. Just based on how it smells already I’m questioning if it technically HAS to be only for the dogs... lol

Sometimes I use honey as the priming sugar, gives it a residual sweetness that some folks like. I'm letting it cool and age for a few days before I share it with the masses; I think it starts to be good at 3-4 weeks after brewday.

 

[Elric]

Kegged my imperial stout today. Used llalbrew voss kveik, isn't in the brewers friend db, so i put in omegas voss as a closest guess. nailed my OG of 1.101 spot on and estimate was a FG of 1.029 for around 9.5%. That voss was a beast and it finished at 1.021 instead for a 10.5% beast. Will definitely be a sipping beer. Sample is nice and rich, looking forward to seeing how it mellows out.

 

[Nick&Worty]

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Getting entries ready for drop off tomorrow.

Which competition

OMG I wish. My GF is allergic to real dogs so we had to adopt some hypoallergenic little maltese things with tiny brains that bark at doorbells on TV.

There is no bad dog.... Except for my sister's Chihuahua Charlie Bill. Meanest damn dog on earth.
