beer connoisseurs, take note!

Depends on the recipe and if I feel lazy or not, as to wether I go all grain or extract. It would be awesome to get a keg in the future but I like bottling process

I dont mind bottling i guess. I just hate removing labels and cleaning them all.

Bottles are easy for sharing and taking places, thats for sure, can still bottle after kegged, just need to build a counter fill or something along those lines. The keg is great for force carbing, 24 hours after its in the keg it ready to drink. I need to get some handles and make the kegarator nice, now its just a mini fridge.

I do agree that the force carbing would be nice then again you can get some great flavors and body from carbing with different sugars. On a side note I've found that PBR cleaner is great for getting labels off, just soak them for like half an hour.

 

[andyrm66]

Hmm carbing with different sugars, sounds interesting.

What is PBR cleaner?

I carb with brown sugar normally.

I've also heard of people carbing with hard candies as well

PBR PBC all just cleaners, great for dissolve the krausen from carboys, no or little scrubbing required. Between that and sanitizer, great stuff!

 

[Metalsniper]

Whoops, meant PBW sorry. It's made by five star, the same people that make star san. Both great products. I haven't tried it but I got some advice that a mixture of molasses and honey builds a nice crisp head. I intend to try it with my stout that everyone seems to like to see if I can get it even better.

Got 4 kegs, A double propane burner, 9 gal kettle, ingredients, and other equipment. My new paintball gear bag is in the pic also. Going to get a chest freezer from a friend that can fit kegs and carboys for lagering.

Have a nut brown and a wheat In buckets now.

Pick up? not any time soon. But come over and drink a six pack (or brew and drink) ... almost anytime

When are you hosting a meeting?

It would have to be in the summer maybe. I have a smaller house. How many normally attend a house meeting?

 

[dv3]

ghost face killah is going around again ......try some if you dare ...its HOT!

 

[ChrisB]

My beer fridge is growing in power!

First keg. Its a mild wheat.

 

[ChrisB]

New burner and kettle in action today. Brewing a spiced brown. Also put a nut brown in a keg today.

Made some dog biscuits from the spent grains. Dogs were fans.

4 cups grains
2 cups flour
Egg
1/2 cup peanut butter

Roll thin and cut

Cook at 350 for 45

Break up and mix around

Cook at 250 till dry 3-5 hours.


Never should be an issue but hops are deadly to dogs fyi

 

[Cake_Boss]

There is a guy on la fish guys that claims biopellets are made from the something of the brewing process, @16:30

I blame you andyrm66, I brewed a maple ale on saturday and it smelled delicious and the wort tasted delicious. I hope it turns out well.

 

[andyrm66]

LOLm hopefully yours turn out better than mine, had an infection, perhaps a yeast infection. No it was bacterial. Haven't had one of those since I started brewing. Who knows. Did everything the same as I always do it.

 

[Metalsniper]

Yeah, one thing I'm worried about is the maple syrup for bottling carrying some sort of bacteria with it.
