What's everyone brewing?

[jtmwhyte]

How do you guys clean your plate chiller? I've been recirculating PBW and hot water after a brew session, but the other night I decided to blast it with hot water from the tap by hooking up directly to the water faucet and a lot of solids came out. I reversed the flow a few times and pushed out quite a bit of stuff, which makes me wonder how to properly clean it out between uses.

I take off the gaskets every 5 or 6 brews and bake it in the oven and then flush it out when it cools.

Keith, you mad bugger! and I like it!

[GuingesRock]

Need more Stanley pictures please. How's he doing these days?

[Keith]

He's kept busy. Lost a tap tho. Getting the 5th keg in was too much work. Replaced the center tap with a thermometer.

[GuingesRock]

Pictures Keith? Pictures!

[Keith]

Sure later on. Not home

I need to finally brew one or two of my one gallon kits so that they'll be bottle conditioned by Christmas

Today I brewed a Pilsner that I plan to dry hop with 1 oz. of Target and 1 oz. of Ahtanum hops. The last Pilsner I brewed I used Citra hops. That turned out great but I like to try different recipes for now. I also kegged my Colinet Irish Red Ale. Trying to build up my beer stock now that I have three kegs.

Belle Saison is an animal. I made a Belgian IPA with it and it is dry as fuck.

Brewed my first batch in Iceland last weekend. Brewed on a friends braumeister, quick and easy kettle soured berliner weiss, that I dry hopped today with 100 gr of fresh Nelson Sauvin. Will be my entry for the advent calendar that the brewing club here has organized.

Awesome gm. How big is the brew club there?

It seems to be fairly big and active, I've been to two monthly meetings of Fágun (short for Félag áhugamanna um gerjun, which roughly translates to Fellowship of Fermentation Enthusiasts), and around 20-30 people showed up. Some really nice home made electric setups, and quite a few braumeisters. 31 Beer advent calendar filled up quickly, and a holiday ale and cheese pairing is planned later this month.

Just cleaned up from brewing a Dortmunder. First time brewing this. Nice colour. 68% Pils malt + 32% Munich 6, Tettnager to 23 IBU. Not sure if it is to style, but don't care. WLP833 German Bock.

I've got a wlp833 starter bubbling right now. Gonna try it on a Munich Helles first then pitch an IPL on the cake.

Brewed up a pineapple pale ale today. Smelled pretty fantastic here after the pineapple and finishing hops had all been added.

[McGruff]

[MitchK]

well, missed my OG really hard on the one gallon porter, wound up with like 53% efficiency (recipe assumed 70-75).

I think the small drawstring mesh bag I used kinda just led to this big dense log of grain rolling around in the pot. Should've used the hilariously oversized one meant for a 15 gallon kettle instead.

Might also re-mill the crushed grains a little finer next time since I'm doing BIAB.

I added enough corn sugar to split the difference between the OG I got and the OG I wanted, didn't want to overdo it on adjunct but didn't want weak beer either.
