Yankee Ingenuity VI- Mud season session 2008

[Glibbidy]

With Fermentation temps between 64-68f I have seen the 1056 ferment out in 72-84 hours. With a good pitiching rate that stuff friggin blasts off.

That 550 is another story. I like to slighlty under pitch with it, and on the cooler side, like say around 64f. This usually requires some patience, but huge on the payoff!

Forgot to check on the English Bitter w/1056 this morning.

If you guy's are doing something in Stowe on the 16th I'll be sure to make an appearance. Swmbo and I will be up that way for the car show.

Well, I had to drive back down and collect my computer, but it was all worth it when I opened my fermentation fridge and heard the sweet sound of bubbling this morning.

Thanks again evanmars - we had a really great time

Bird looks *so* thrilled in this pic...

 

[the_bird]

I was pretty beat by the time we finished up.

Jester, you drove ALL THE WAY BACK for your 'puter? Did you not realize it was missing until you got back to Stowe? Damn....

 

[Jester369]

Yeah - it sucked pretty bad, but I had some data on it that I had to send out today. Fortunately evanmars wife works about 1/2 hour closer than their house, so I picked it up there and trimmed some time off the trip.

 

[Jester369]

Ok so here are some additional shots of the day...

ORLY? Yes RLY!

the_bird couldn't believe it when we told him his 5 gallon batch was boiling over in his 15 gallon keggle...

but then, I couldn't believe it when my 10 gallon batch boiled over in my 25 gallon kettle!

The supervisor, keeping watch...

 

[Jester369]

the_bird also showed us how a turkey frier makes a great wok burner, too. Mmmmmmm... tasty...

evanmars (seen above grabbing some eats) also grilled up some kabobs and corn.

Excellent time was had!

Hey, Red got close to my kettle, it got a little bit over-excited... I'm sure you've had a similar experience...
