What are you doing with homebrew today?

[Craigerrr]

Krausen is down less than 24 hours after pitching, it is still venting Co2 though

 

[Craigerrr]

Finished cleaning up from yesterday's brew session, cleaned some kegs, packed the sack of grain I bought into containers and did a little organizing

 

[Beerbelly]

I like you erector set brewing cart!

Works great too. I built it 25 years ago after reading a book on how to build one. It's a simple gravity feed system with a pump to pump hot water to either the hot liquor tank or the mash tun, directed by a swiveling arm. I can roll it out of my brewhouse onto my covered patio for brewing year 'round. Dead simple and makes great beer.

 

[Craigerrr]

I love it!
I would only say that it is you that makes great beer!

 

[Brew Cat]

I racked my ESB to a keg

Decided to finally get a small batch of mead going. I had some plums that were going soft, so I boiled them to get the pits out, and dumped the liquid and remaining fruit (in a bag) into 3 quarts of water with 2 lbs of wildflower honey. I added yeast nutrient and calcium chloride like I do with the primitive ciders. OG was 24.8 Plato (1.105 SG) and I used some lutra kveik slurry. The lutra has an alcohol tolerance up to 15%, so if this fully ferments to 0 it'll be just shy of 14%. My guess is it'll stall out somewhere before that, leaving some residual sweetness which is good. I've got some high quality local honey from a family members farm to backsweeten with if need be. I genuinely have no idea how this will turn out

Brewing version 4 of Hamm's:

Is it my imagination or does that look a bit dark for Hamms??

 

[Beerbelly]

It's a camera flash issue; SRM per Brewtarget is 3.3.

Sure I get that, but did you make money on it?

5 second places, 4 third places and 2 fourth places. Back then, second place was worth $700.

Now I am having the problem I see here quite often. It is day three for my Märzen and no action. WPL820 yeast at 55F . I even raised it a couple degrees and nothing.
I have some 05 and BRY97 maybe an old 04, have to look . It needs something...

 

[Josh Hughes]

If you have a homebrew shop get 34/70 and it will take off.

 

[west1m]

About 40 miles away but it might be worth it.

 

[west1m]

Looking through my bag of misc yeasts I found a couple packs of 34/70. Good thing there were a couple of them because I dropped the first one and it went all over the floor. So it got about one and a half packages. (Even had good dates).

The beer gods smiled upon you!

Great plan @Josh Hughes , in just a couple hours I am seeing bubbles and it has dropped a couple pionts.

 

[Craigerrr]

Measured out grains for Q3 brew.
When I packed my basemalt into containers I measured their weight empty, makes it quick and easy to measure out for a batch!

 

[Prairie Dog]

Thursday night, I kegged up my Marzen (and first proper lager), installed a new faucet into my keezer, and a new C02 line on my regulator so I can carbonate and serve two beers now. Looking forward to having a Marzen and a WCIPA on tap and read to drink in early October.

 

[Yooper]

I ran 8 gallons RO water for an upcoming brewday and packaged about 25 gallons of wine.

I kegged some 'daily table wines', bottled some good wines, and took the opportunity to tear down and totally clean and sanitize about 10 kegs.

Just finished clean up after a double brew day. Now to watch NFL Redzone.
