What are you doing with homebrew today?

[Over The Cliff Brewing]

View attachment 29256Just bottled my Partial Eclipse Wheat, dry hopped with a half ounce of Mandarina Bavaria. This
batch started at 1.050 and finished at 1.007, using Cellar Science Cali dry yeast. For priming, I used a solution of local honey. This should be a good Spring sipper.

I use that CALI a lot. It is a reliable yeast.

Ive got a dead fermentation from the Wacky Wheat I brewed last weekend. I'm going to dose it with wine yeast to see if that gets anything going.

Wine yeast will ferment just about every sugar. Not a problem if you like very dry beer. Maybe another yeast or something like CBC-1 would be better? What gravity are you sitting at?

In the middle of a winemaking interlude I pretty much only need to do every couple of years. Also re-organised the space I devote to it in prep for renovations next year. Now have a spare wine rack to give away that I put together during my early days.

The Chianti has turned out great already. Just bottled the Piesporter about a week ago but went well if a little slow due to this prolonged cold snap we are having in ole blighty. ABV: 14% was a bit of a surprise. The airlock on the Peach which is going to be a dessert wine was going within an hour of mixing up on Friday, now rattling away at 1 second intervals Main event the Pinot Grigio made up same day took a few days to get going but is at about 3 seconds now. Should be racking in around a fortnight.

After that I will be starting this year's Cider.

Hope that isn’t the just mentioned CALI yeast.

Yeah...that was my hail Mary save move on my last batch of cream ale that didn't start. 36 hours post pitch and a I figured the Wyeast 1080 was a dud so into my yeast bank I went...the "deposit" was not yet 2 months old so I scooped a couple of spoonfuls of slurry into the carboy and we were off to the races 8 hours later! Genny Cream became Jenni Kveik!

It's working!

Had a backlog of beers in the pipeline, but finally kicked the earl grey porter last night. I put the northern brewer/cashmere pale in the fridge to cold crash last night. It was brewed over 2 weeks ago, which is normal for some but that's a long time for me these days!

Looks like I'll have time/space to brew this weekend too!

 

[Donoroto]

Going to brew the Brown Ale today, while the tree guys trim up the yard. I figure if I have to be home anyway,might as well be productive.
Also the IPA keg is about to kick, and the Oktoberfest won't be ready for a long while.

Mashing a pale ale. I couldn't sleep so I got up and started a bit early.

 

[Sandy Feet]

FINALLY ordered some grain last night. Going to make this happen in May. I guess the grain prices, like everything else went up.

 

[Zambi]

I should be kegging my ginger thingy.
Maybe tomorrow.
Drank a lot of cider yesterday, so I should have space for a new brew.
Thinking about the Q1

Working on the glycol system and installing some shelves by the sink, about a six pack of “tavern ale” in, working on it late and by God feeling fancy like…

Drinking pale ale and brewing a pale ale

Just reached that point in the project when you realize the part you need was in that box of "stuff I'm never going to use" you threw away last week...off to the hardware stotre!
