At school today so not much. This morning the room In which I keep my brewing stuff was a little cold so the ale with s05 got down to 63/64. Been going for 5 days need temp in the other direction. The Vienna lager getting a diacetyl rest was happy though.
I also ordered a wort Chiller...thanks a lot guys lol

I am thinking that I need to get prepared to brew this Friday, but what to bew?
Definitely want to get the Q2 Dummy Piss brewed, but might need to sneak another batch in ahead of that to keep the taps flowing...

My sincere apologies to Mrs. Hughes for my negative influence on the family finances there Josh...Haha oh man, we know whose fault that really is (*cough* @Craigerrr *cough*)...
This doesn't always work for me, but may it will work for you!
"But honey, look at all of the money I am saving not buying commercial beer!!!!!!!"
Might be time for you to brew a classic American cream ale...

Thank you, I will give that some thought.
I have about 8 pounds of hops in my freezer, and just ordered 4 more pounds, so I might need to brew something extra super hopalicious!!!
I am heating strike water for a 1.5 gallon batch of Wayner’s Pale Ale, done BIAB style. I will be using S-04, as called for in the original recipe. Looks like my water is just about ready.
Told her that a year ago. Problem is she is smarter than me lol.

Smarter than me too then...
What chiller did you buy?
Northern Brewer was doing 15% of equipment. Silver serpent I think it’s called. Got that plus a faucet adapter for $65.
That’s what I thought. Figured it was a good time. Ill use the water that I run through for cleaning. I hate to waste it.
Emptied the keg of Bitter so I was going to transfer the Vienna Lager into the keg. Had a touch of sulfur in the sample. Gravity has been stable for 3 days. Guess it needs more time. Less than two weeks so I’m sure that’s it. At least the keg is cleaned, sanitized and ready.
If you have sulphur in a keg, just vent some CO2 every day or three, it'll mostly dissipate after a week or so. Another advantage of kegs, the head space can be 'replaced' easily enough.
I’ll probably go ahead and keg tonight then. Didn’t think about venting. Thanks
It is kegged. Sample tasted pretty good today.
Going to test the Hobbit Juice tonight. It’s an Ordinary Bitter, low ABV, because the Hobbits should not be trusted with high gravity ale.
