What are you doing with homebrew today?

Moved my fermenter to the garage. This bitter will sit at the mid 50’s in the garage to condition then be drank. Should be a nice 4% bitter.

 

[Craigerrr]

Added dry hops to Friday's batch

Debating adding a bulkhead and thermometer to my mash tun. Does anyone who mashes in their kettle have one and like it or hate it? The 6 inch probe would provide more accurate temps but make stirring difficult. And the 2 inch probe wouldn't show the mash temp from the center of the mash tun

The 6" probe would be more accurate but, I can't imagine not cursing it every time I was doughing in and trying to get rid of dough balls. I don't mash in a kettle so this is just my sub 2¢ opinion.

 

[Brew Cat]

my personal opinion but if you need a thermometer in the whole time just drill a small hole in your lid and drop one of those 9" long stem thermometers in to monitor the temp. one of my kettles has that. the other doesn't but I generally check the temp before and after except when Im doing a decoction

 

[Josh Hughes]

My kettle has one and I like having it. I just do t hit it when I stir and I am careful removing the bag.

today I received a new thermometer so I'm double checking it an others
one needed to be adjusted
also sampling my altbier
I like it but it needs more carbonation

Today I'll make so crystal malt and some roasted malt out of some leftover Bries Pilsner malt. I've only used two -row before

 

[Brew Cat]

Well since I started with pilsner it was light crystal and light roast
For darker id probably roast the Vienna
This home roasted gives a good flavor
Fresh bread

 

[Brew Cat]

Well this morning I tasted my crystal that I made and the center was still damp so roasted some more
Looks too be about 60L

Pile on the right is Crisp 60L

 

[Brew Cat]

As expected the fresh roasted is way more flavorfull

 

[Over The Cliff Brewing]

Kegging my "Uncle C's Brown Ale"

 

[Brew Cat]

I see the tank
Are you purging the fermenter as you drain?

No, the tank is to carb up the beer once done transferring.

Smells awesome
Maybe I should seal the bucket or keg it and let it finish in said keg

Are you transferring the mandarin slices as well?

 

[Brew Cat]

Are you transferring the mandarin slices as well?

I did
This is a good beer
I can tell because I keep reaching for it
If I can make it last will serve it on Thanks Giving Day

Thanks
I was thinking of going to do the same on one of my future brews
And then it suddenly occurred to me that I can get the slices in my oxebar keg, but not out!
