Der er ikke et ordsprog der hedder 'Man skal ikke købe æblepresseudstyr når det er æblesæson' - men der burde der være!

En af mine ciderbuddies faldt over den her på Facebook marketplace til 350 kr, så nu skal den bare slibes ned og males på ny og så er der en fuldt funktionsdygtig stor tung ungarsk æblepresse på matriklen.

Yesterday, while half the city was losing power and limbs off their trees…I decided to brew Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Clone (did not have ingredients for cream ale as suggested by poll)🍺

My RAPT pill must be broken or need calibration (or I’m impatient) reading still at 1.025 after 18 hrs… regular hydrometer showing about 1.052

This is a new strain of yeast I’ve never tried from a Canadian supplier

My efficiency and volume was garbage though and I needed to add about 212g of DME

Finally got taxes dropped off today. Looks like we'll owe significantly less this year?

Missed reporting the removal of the DNEIPA because of unrelated stress. Transfer / keg / bottle / condition all successful...final product is more amber than I'd like, probably because of some older grain...hazy light amber is just ugly. But it smells so damn good, and the balance appears spot-on. I want it in my body but it's still way too green. It'll probably take a while to get rid of acetaldehyde as I'm pushing the yeast's alcohol tolerance.

I'm otherwise my current usual (stressed / antisocial / miserable but surviving).

Leaving for San Diego for a scouting trip in less than a week. Hoping to find *something* in the context of that excursion that'll bring me a bit of genuine happiness.

This won't surprise anyone: I ferment the Amber Ale in an open vessel. I use Lallemand Nottingham dry yeast at 16°C. This is the Ol' Reliable of the homebrewing world and I was always super impressed by how clean it ferments almost any beer under almost any condition.

I am also excited to see the effect of Kräusen-scooping on the hop notes. West coast hops like Cascade can get a little grating and by scooping the hop resins off, this should make the beer a bit smoother.

Brewday at Brudi Bräu!

Today I am making an American style Session Amber Ale. I think this is an underrated and underbrewed style. Plus when I had Madtree's Amber Ale in Cincinnati last year, I thought I should drink this stuff more often. And since this style is even harder to find in Germany than the US, I have to make it first.

A 🧵

Any Lager brewers present who siphon the beer to a secondary vessel for lagering?

I noticed that my Schwarzbier had an oxidation note and I assume that's because I racked it to the secondary vessel without purging that with CO2, so I am contemplating on buying some equipment to do that in the future.

Here's my question: How do you do that? Or do you have some other idea to get around that problem?

I have had this bottle of saison sitting in a small tub of oxyclean solution near the garage door to help remove the label from the bottle for a few days. I opened the garage door this morning and the sun shone on it for a while and when I came back from working in the yard the bottle had opened itself so I put it in the freezer to cool down for a while and now I'm drinking it.
