Can somebody give me a reason why I don't need one of these? I prefer to bottle my beer(easier to grab and go), I have a keezer and kegs that could be used for lagering...I could mount this right over my stainless wash sink and use some pipe insulation to keep it cold on the way there...

When your trying to add must to the fermenter holding a funnel on one hand and trying to pour with a bucket...spilled an indeterminate amount of must...now I could have just measures what the level in the fermenter was and how much water I still needed to add, did the math and....sometimes I...

Bottled up, 2 cases of Shady Bohemian, used what was left into the fermenter to make up about 3 gallons of Braggot with another 5 quarts of water and 5 pounds of honey,(ish pouring problems). Gave the keezer a once over and put the bottles of Shady Boh in it set at 62 to carb up. The braggot...

New batch came in at 78.7% pitched onto the slurry from the Cali commonn.

My other league uses ESPN, very slick. I've also used Yahoo! before...I'm game for whatever app you want, your circus/your monkeys LOL I'm good with $20, I'd do it in a free one too. No difference to me.

Thinking about only bottling about 1/2 of the batch of Shady Bohemian, then adding some must and finishing the other half as a Shady Bohemian Braggot.

Busy day today, brewing Shady Bohemian, washing bottles and replacing the rest of the lines on my glycol chiller with heavier duty silicone. May also clean out the keezer, haven't used it in a while and I'm going to need it for lagering.

Going to pour in a batch of Shady Bohemian on top of the slurry today, I should have results on attenuation in 2-3 weeks, going to run it at 55.

2 weeks in and sitting at 78%, slight banana taste in the sample, not unpleasant. It will probably fade with a couple weeks in the cold.

I’m game if you have any open spots

Will do, isn't until October, should give me plenty of time to lager.

Kinda washed my hands of competitions a 2-3 years ago, figure I'll take one more swing at it. I've never fared well in the Madison comp, usually some pretty stiff competition. Going to send 3 beers this time, Shady Bohemian(Czech Dark Lager), Shore Leave Lager(California Common) and Drea's...

Shady Bohemian

Most likely M84 Bohemian Lager, possibly White Labs 800 if I'm feeling it, but I usually stick to dry yeast. I'll just add it to the fermenter and let the yeast cake rock on after I bottle it down to about where I want it.

A little late to the party on this one, but this thread has got my wheels spinning... I'm thinking about brewing an oversized batch of Shady Bohemian, leaving about 2 1/2 gallons in the fermenter and topping it off with an equal volume of unfermented mead....
