What are you doing with homebrew today?

[Josh Hughes]

Gotcha, forgot about the Munich ale yeast.

 

[Josh Hughes]

Do you oxygenate when using liquid yeast, or transferring onto trub?

I don’t

 

[Brew Cat]

I always do with liquid or slurry. Dry yeast no. My technique is pitch the yeast then pour back and forth in a couple buckets then pour into my fermenter. Pretty high tech I know

 

[TerryDowning]

Cleaned and purged some kegs today.

 

[Zambi]

Transferred beer into my keg and put on CO2.
Full oxebar keg and remainder into a 2 litr cokebottle with carbonation cap.
I need to remember to mark the kegs

 

[TerryDowning]

Bottled the last of the Cream Ale and Kentucky Common what is left, goes to competition. Cleaned the kegs general clean up.

Came home to a beer puddle under the kegerator the liquid post on the fermenting keg was slowly leaking all day after hooking up the tap line last night to try a sample. I didn't lose much, less than a pint, but it's annoying and now my floor's sticky lol

Dang! Could have been worse...

Any more than a pint loss is a red card offense!

Not quite today, it's from over the weekend at the Michigan Homebrew Festival. Friday Saturday and Sunday morning at a Camp Agawam in Orion Township Mi.

First time I've been able to attend in 6 years or so, probably 200 homebrewers, 100+ kegs, 14 clubs from around the state attended.

Selfie with a cherry mead on my way out!

 

[Craigerrr]

That's a lot of chicken!

 

[TerryDowning]

Took a sample from the best bitter in fermentation.

Looks good
Don’t forget to de-gas if fermenting under pressure

1.020 after one week. Started at 1.045.

 

[Josh Hughes]

Will put the fermenter of Festbier in the fridge to cold crash for a few days.

 

[Sandy Feet]

Mashing before sunrise to try to beat the weather.

After sunrise

 

[Josh Hughes]

Kegged my Festbier. 1.056-1.009. I’ll harvest this yeast now

 

[Josh Hughes]

Harvested the yeast and cleaned my fermzilla. Got 2/3 gallon of slurry. Will be generation 4 pitch next batch.

 

[Sandy Feet]

My yeast didn't take, and when I looked at the package, it was expired. I guess I'm going in a little early and taking a long lunch today.
