What are you doing with homebrew today?

[Brew Cat]

Think I'm gonna wash some bottles, probably need to go to the rifle range first though. Temps in the 60s, not much wind...good day to shoot a couple rifles.

Do you need to clean the bottles before you blast them?

All part of the process...

Or at least shoot things with the rifles…

Weighed grains for next brew A Kentucky Common

 

[TerryDowning]

Just ordered a "Free Pinter" it only cost me 2 beer kits from their stock, but I'll use it for all grain BIAB small batch ferment and serve after those are done.

 

[Over The Cliff Brewing]

Kegging and IPA and an English Golden Ale.

 

[Ozarks Mountain Brewery]

just kegged my amber bock, turned out good

 

[Dave Y]

I saved the French Saison yeast from my Belgian-ish IPA, and repurposed to a slightly bigger WC style rye IPA. I’ll be kegging it up this weekend.

 

[Brew Cat]

Well I need to clean up the brewery and setup to brew in the morning. Going to rain. I have a few beers measured out but I'm going to change direction and bang out my Stone Man IPA. In a couple weeks I have some people working on my house so need to brew a crowd pleaser. I've been away and don't want to fall behind.

 

[Brew Cat]

Started brewing and going to try a NE pale ale mash even though this is WC pale ale

 

[Tim Bulin]

Weeded the hops.

Do you have good luck with that counterpressure filler? I have the same one, and while it does work, I find that I spill less just dialing the keg back to maybe 2 psi and using the picnic tap.

 

[TerryDowning]

It took a bit to figure out. The gauge is useless IMO. If anyone is thinking about buying one, save a few bucks and skip the gauge. You get a feel for the pressure.

I’m confident in the reduced oxygen.

Yeah what I made is a piece of tubing slid through a rubber stopper. The tube fits in the picnic tap and reaches just to the bottom. I just burp the stopper as the beer comes up. I've thought about the beer filler thing. Does it also purge the bottles? I have to purge with a separate picnic top pushing CO2.

 

[TerryDowning]

Yes it purges the bottles while the stopper is engaged.
