Likely to bottle this week, as my wife is going out of town to work for a few days.If it's at expected FG why not one less thing to worry about when moving.

...and so begins the slippery slope.Contemplating the bottling of my amber ale, even slightly short of my usual minimum 3 weeks. Once that batch is bottled, all of my equipment will be mothballed to prepare for moving. Wondering about my future home brewing set up in Oregon. My wife really wants a home where she has a room for her painting, and I have a good space for brewing. Maybe kegging could be in my future?
Not much these days is going down in valueSalty Seas IPA has reached FG so I moved the keg to the fridge to carb and chill. Once I finish drinking Mayday ale, I'll transfer the IPA to the serving keg (regular dip tube not floating dip tube). For a while I've been drinking out of the fermenting keg but the kveik seems to have trouble with the floating dip tube. It cold crashes and clarifies better without. So now I've got a serving keg and a fermenting keg, so only one beer on tap at a time. But I can keep the pipeline running and always have beer on tap.
I'd like to add another serving keg but need to wait for a sale or something. I really like pinlock sized kegs that have been converted to ball lock fittings and I only know one vendor that sells them used with new fittings and lid in a cleaned, inspected keg. Right now they're about $80 so I'm gonna wait and see what happens.
Yeah.....its my coconut cream ale. Hopefully it turns out well,Is that your coconut cream ale?
I'm about to start milling my pilsner malt. Procastrinating...
