Thinking about having a bottle share on Friday nite at the BH. Everyone is invited. I just ask that if you do come, bring a couple of bottles of great beer to share. Event should start around 8:00.
I just dropped off four brand new, large auto siphons. They're currently located at the bottling table and should be returned there after use. Do not leave them lying around and please be sure to remove the hose when finished using a siphon. Thanks!
Just wondering if anyone can be around Monday to help me access the brewhouse. I will have my brewer friend to help me so I won't need help brewing. We would like to come around 1PM if anyone will be around! I have a crazy schedule and just want to get my second brew in. Thanks for the help:)
Our new table top for the sink is being installed tomorrow June 13th. I need to take apart all the plumbing apart for the sinks for this to happen. Hopefully I will have the sinks up and running by 6 pm. The rest of the plumbing will not be affected. Thanks
Chuck
I was in the brewhouse to try to brew last Wednesday to brew. There still seemed to be pretty substantial leaks from both sinks' new plumbing and one of the hoses on the floor to the sinks was missing a clamp so it was useless. We decided to just bottle rather than make a total mess and risk further messing something up. Has anyone brewed since last Wenesday? Have the plumbing issues been addressed?
While many of you purests will surely turn up noses at what I'm about to say, hear me out. I was at Whole Foods this evening looking for tart cherries to add to my cabernet-oaked rosealare innoculated english mild. Unfortunately, they do not carry tart cherries fresh in the produce section. HOWEVER, they do carry them in cans. These are pitted (unfortunately) tart whole cherries packed in nothing but water (fortunately). No other ingredients...and that includes preservatives (potassium sorbate, etc.) Just cherries and water.
Is any of the beer currently fermenting in the cold chamber ready for removal? There's currently one open spot, which Neal plans to use for a lager tomorrow. I just need to cold crash a batch Monday evening. I'll only need it for two days.
