I myself just finished scraping the labels off of 3 bottles-that-formerly-held some Mad Elf seasonal.
They REALLY wanted those labels to stay on the bottles!

Mash it up with some mango and use it a secondary for a mango-PF IPA?Cut back the passion fruit vine and collected 10 gallons of fruit. Not looking forward to processing it all, but I am looking forward to whatever we ferment it into.
Moved my wlp030 slants to the fridge. Brewed a Best Bitter with the wlp030 yeast I built up before thanksgiving. I used the wheeler courage best bitter recipe, 1oz of black patent malt in a 3gal batch really came out quite dark.

edit: added a pic, it also had 4oz of carastan, looks darker in a wider glass

This is tube #4, two easy to clean ones with removable bases would leak, #3 turned frosty. I wonder which is going to break first the tube or the hydrometer. I am guessing the hydro first from bouncing off the bottom.
edit: It came from Williams homebrewing, does not need much to fill it.
I did not know PBW was not good on glass, I dont use that but do use oxiclean and it seems to work fine for bottles. Only issues I have noticed is if I use too much it leave a residue that is takes extra rinses to get off.i hope i never have to post a pic of mine! i know if i ever posted a pic of my two, the rage train would tell me to clean up! (but i use mine for all kinds of things that don't dissolve in soapy water! and the PBW soak i gave them sure didn't help! now i know why they say don't use PBW on glass!)

Yeah, this is my experience too; I use pbw on a glass carboy I have and glass bottles and have no issues.
i don't know, maybe i'll try pbw again...maybe it's just because i was trying to wash a sink load of dirty dishes in a storage tote.....figured f it, why not use pbw.....
i think i'll fill them up with some hot water and toss in a tsp of pbw, but i'm not holding out hope!
BTW if anyone has any ideas on how to get those clean, i'm all ears!

I like to use trub free wort so I let my wort sit for awhile(45 to 60min, maybe more) before transferring to the fermentor. Whirfloc and a quick chill before that.That‘s some clear wort!
Welcome to the HBT daytime crowd!Not really for beer, but more for HBT. Moved into my new office this morning, with a huge desk and nobody else in the room, and a very lax internet policy so I can be on here during the day (boss approved) as long as I get my work done too. Oh boy....

Rearranged my brewery a bit to accomodate the steel work table I scored a month, or so, ago. I set it up as a milling station, but it’s large enough to have additional uses. It’s 30”X48”x32” tall. The stencil under the top reads “Property of USPS”, so it apparently came out of a postal facility somewhere.
