What's in your fermenter(s)?

[jonmohno]

Bottled a 1.5 gal German IPa today sample was very good for overusing german hops, I have another one 2.5 gal with different german hops/base malt German pale malt instead of the german kolsh malt this time in the fermenter for next weekend going to dryhopp with Hallertau I think.Im likeing the Kolsh yeast so far.

I think the yeast took a beating being shipped in frezzing temps though a few months ago,that and one of the vials had half of what the other had in it plus it was right at its best by date and the color was getting darker.Good thing for starters. I was a bit worried about that one it had a pretty long lag but it finished at an unexpected .007. I guess the yeast energizer Ive been using or starters are making them attenuate too good Im getting like 80-85%attenuation on them latley.And finishing lower than I wanted them also.More abv I guess making up for my weaker Brewhouse efficency or having a bit too much overall volume- because I was thinking of trying to make up for the hop/trub loss. I measured out my hop/trub and on a 2.5 gallon batch it was about one gallon left behind but I still got my volume just less OG than planned.

Nothing :'( just bottled a big IPA, with honey, citra and aromatic malt. Next weekend doing a tripel with American hops, and an imperial red with rye and more citra!

Havent played with the kolsch yeast, but Halletaur is a great hop! My father in-law and I have our own hop gardens and his halletaur may be my favorite homegrown hop yet!

With the 147 IBU... I had an old friend over yesterday who has never brewed, and he wanted to brew a really hoppy one... I'd say we did just that!

I used Safbrew t-58 yeast for this batch. I pitched it a little over 3 hours ago. I'm already getting a lot of activity. The airlock is really bubbling away.

 

[NewBrewB]

Got a Belgian Quad chugging away...interesting technique actually.

After 24 hrs of active fermentation: To each carboy, I added 1 gal water with 2 lbs dissolved/boiled and cooled belgian candi sugar.....did it again at 48 hrs.

Supposedly, this keeps the sugar levels from overwhelming the yeasties while it ferments to the anticipated 11-12% ABV.

(first time trying this recipe though)

[zach976]

I have a little less than 5 gallons of Real Ale Firemans 4 clone. My first all grain brew.

 

[Derp]

Nothing. But last night I kegged 10 gallons of a Little Sumpin' Sumpin' clone that had been in carboys for 9 months!

I got into a vicious cycle of "I'll brew/keg next weekend" and hadn't even checked the chest freezer for at least 6 months. It was set at 41 degrees and there were no visible signs of infection, so I decided not to dump it. The uncarbonated samples tasted pretty good, although they may need another round of dry hopping in the keg.

I've purchased a lot of new equipment over the last few weeks and hope to get back in the swing as soon as I get my garage cleaned out and build some shelves to store my brewing equipment. <-- More procrastinating.

 

[Hulud]

Well one 5 gal has air another 1 gal has air.

One 5 gal has 100 Year War IPA (dry hopping)
One 5 gal has my (unnamed) Pale Ale
My 2.5 gal still has wine goin for SWMBO

Gonna go to my parents tomorrow and rack the wine there into secondary and take back my 8 gal fermenter so I can do my Xmas time Andy's Mint Chocolate Stout to get ready for the holidays.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Just dawned on me I burned up my drill last brew. Need to replace it so I can brew tomorrow and sat. So if I find a new drill in time it will be an ipa or pale ale and who knows what else. Might as well do 10 gal batches too.
