The Scottish 'Wee Heavy' 80 probably should be bottled. It's day 27 of the ferment and the temperature was around 58F/14.5C most of the time. The color looks nice.
The OG was about 1.052 and it's about 1.016 which is close enough for US-05 I think.
Sample taken from the spout on the Speidel, which I will use for bottling too with my picnic faucet filling wand, so there shouldn't be much or any trub in the bottles now that I've cleared a path.

It was around 36-43 hours for the beer to get actively fermenting at less than 60F / 15.5C with US-05 yeast. Looked like about 20 mm of krausen on top and the Speidel was bubbling about every 3 seconds.

Chickens love the spent grains. Second half done same as first except only the boil was cooled and then added to the fermenter and then topped up with cold water. OG is about 1.052 which is a bit higher than the 1.048 target but it was at or above the 8 gallon mark. Lifted 💪 to the bench, and cleaned up and sealed and airlock filled. Suppose to keep it 60-62F 15.5-16.5C for fermenting.

Only boiled 25% of the DME with a half volume boil. The rest added at 50 minutes which cools it down to almost 170F. Used an old keggle to put the boil pot in to cool, it worked ok, I didn't use any ice so it took a while to cool it off but the hops was in a bag so it wasn't lingering at high temps at all. Yeast pitched on the first half when it was cool.

The Oktoberfest beer after 8 days in the bottle before chilled for a test. It needs more time to carb up and clear a little but I wanted a little to test for the weekend. It got a 'tastes really good' from the big city tasting judge. No off tastes that I can tell. Only 5 other bottles refrigerated, the rest in the cool cave where they can get better.

So still waiting on my Grodziekie to condition and carbonate more… but I don’t know if I’m digging it.
I might try to dry hop directly in the keg or call it a learning experience. I knew this smoke style brew was going to gamble regardless.
The aroma of the smoked malt is almost overwhelming. I do remember this being a highly carbonated champagne-like style so perhaps that’s the key and just giving it more time to clarify in cold crash fridge.

Cannot stop thinking about the great feedback at the last https://gtabrews.ca
meeting for my amber ale.And the presentation by Nate Ferguson, from Escarpment Labs, about lagers and his suggestion to me to use the “forced diacetyl test” the next time I brew.
So much to learn still!

To my #homebrewing peeps and #beermaking brethren…
Are all PH meter storage solution essentially the same and safe for most PH meters?

I'm also going though my old notebooks and doing a bit of a beer-making ingredients inventory. Some of it has been sitting for a while and I should use it up! So a mini batch of beer this weekend.
Got some nice Cascade and Citra hops on hand! Probably use those for finishing and use my garden's fresh hops for boiling.
Anyone have a good idea how fresh to dried scales? I always just wing it, but should be more measured about it.

So b/c I’m not home and needed some growlers to fill for a few buddies I stopped at a local brewery and sold me a few half growlers (howlers?) at a decent price and a quick tour of their operation. :)
Young married couple self taught that slowly scaled up on their own.
Shout out to Turkey Shoot Brewery, this place is a beautiful gem!

Lot’s of positive feedback from my #homebrewing IPA and the raspberry Seltzer… but they did not kill the kegs. Guess it’s staying my sister’s for a bit.

The “Off Flavour Class” organized by https://gtabrews.ca was intense!
Sufficient to say my nose and mouth are very rookie!
There was approximately 12 samples of off flavours dosed in small quantities of Coors Light… as you can guess some were down right nasty (including the acid taste trick Molson Light at the end).

Check list ready so I can showcase my #homebrewing efforts at a party.
Time and budget prevented me from creating a proper jockey box, so I have to transport my whole keezer after a few tweaks.
I think I figured a quick a dirty hack to hold the CO2 tank in place
-
Manifold installed in my keezer; 5lbs CO2 tank swapped with a full one; forced carbed both but setting and forgetting until event at 15 psi🤞
I’m by luck attending an educational tomorrow evening, “Off Flavour Class” organized by https://gtabrews.ca
Should help determine if my hazy is off or just flat. Still too rookie… but may have over killed on the campden :/

-
Not the 6% abv I was aiming for but the hazy is looking to have a FG of 1.009 (OG 1.050’ish… not placing too much faith in my used refactometer) so i think we’re above 5% abv at the very least.
My biggest concern is keeping my hazy in my Fermzilla at 10psi for another day or two in the basement until the hard seltzer I have clearing up after cold crash in my keezer.
(Yes, I’m flexing my new vocabulary and jargon) 🍺

Hops (Humulus lupulus) growing int he garden (variety unknown. These quite invasive perennials (I have found runners 25 feet away) throw off tons of flowers which then can be dried and used for tea and beer making #gardening #organicgardening #gardeninglife #thehappygardeninglife #homegardening #ilovegardening #backyardgardening#vegetablegardening #beer #beermaking
