Renfest/Brefest brew date
Moderator: Officers
I agree. This was an unbelievable club brew. You seriously missed out if you could not at least stop by. LBG-4bll's-2beers-7hrs.......
There are alot of pics floating around, if we can get these in the photo gallery that would be sweet.
I also want to personally Thank Jarrell. He was right. He worked hard getting the cooling system in place to control ferment temps in the fermenters. And w/o that cooling we would be fermenting close to 80* instead of in the upper 60's.....
Way to go LBG for being able to get together and put down these kind of numbers. There is just to many people that made this happen.
Cheers....

1. When a once extraordinarily hoppy beer now seems pedestrian.
2. The phenomenon a person has when craving more bitterness in beer.
3. The long-term exposure to extremely hoppy beers; if excessive or prolonged, a habitual dependence on hops will occur.
4. When a "Double IPA" just is not enough

Update.......
The Wheat is at 1.010. I went ahead and bunged the fermenter hoping to get some natural carbonation. I'm pretty sure i was a little to late in doing this. The last few points went fast. I put a ton of ice into the cooling jackets. Both batches fermented at 68-70*. I stopped the cooling and the temp has raised to the mid 70's. The heat from fermentation traps in SS jacketed fermenters. Until the actual fermenter starts to cool to room temp, im guessing it will stay there until it reaches room temp of 68*. I'm done adding ice. The cooling rig worked well, and was very much needed, but it was an ice monster. My pocket ran dry buying ice twice/day.
The ESB is chugging along and is at 1.016. I'm going to cap it later tonight or first thing in the morning to try and get some better natural carbonation. What do the gravity samples taste like? Well, like primary samples always taste. Once the yeast drops out, they will be nice beers.

Maybe as a long term investment, this might be used for cooling somehow?: Glycol Beer line cooler on CraigsListBlktre wrote:...I put a ton of ice into the cooling jackets.

I could never spend $1000 on a piece of brewing equipment, but that doesn't mean someone else can't.
BK,
We already own a glycol chiller. We just have gotten off our asses to get it up and running properly. But, it will be in place for the next group brew. Thanks for the linky....

Doh! I really need to come see your setup!! Can't make it tomorrow for the bourbon barrel brew either though.Blktre wrote:BK,

Sounds good.

Been dumping yeast. Things are starting to clear up. There are 2 nice 1g jugs of yeast sitting in the fridge. Further dumps goes down the drain. The yeast plug on the Wheat was so thick that it played hell getting it to pop out of there. After a few choice words, the @#$% finally obeyed.
Remember i leave for Colorado. This Sun. is the last day to get Renfest beer kegged and out of here. So i guess we need some kegs don't we....who has some?
