Brudi Bräu<p>Today I bottled my Amber Ale and introduced a new bottling routine that should reduce oxidation risks drastically.</p><p>Step 1: Clean a second fermentation bucket (the "bottling bucket") and fill it with your priming sugar solution.

Mute Dog Brewing<p>(Past) time to dump this sour stout/old ale blend. It no longer tastes like a mildewy basement but it's still not good tasting. 8 years is too long to mess with stuff hoping it might magically become delicious.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeBrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeBrewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DumpBadBeer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DumpBadBeer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Beer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Beer</span></a></p>

Tom<p>Transferred the California Gewurztraminer wine to a carboy for degassing and clearing. It is day 22. It was still fermenting slowly and it was about 1.001 a week ago and wasn't bubbling at all yesterday and measured 0.996 today. It gets the chitosan and reserves tomorrow.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/winemaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>winemaking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wine</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fermenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fermenting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WineKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WineKit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a></p>
Brudi Bräu<p>I have taken gravity readings of my Amber Ale yesterday and today and I have tried a sip each time to see how that German terroir would change the character of the Cascade hops.</p><p>I'm getting that typical Cascade-y bitterness with pine and grapefruit notes but mixed with a lot of Mango. It's quite lovely. I hope that all makes it through to the final beer.</p><p>That terrible "the fermentation isn't complete yet" grainyness has to go though 😅 </p><p><a href="https://hostux.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a></p>
Tom<p>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.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeerMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeerMaking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/brewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brewing</span></a></p>

Tom<p>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.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeerMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeerMaking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/brewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brewing</span></a></p>
Tom<p>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.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeerMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeerMaking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/brewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brewing</span></a></p>

Brudi Bräu<p>Brewday at Brudi Bräu!</p><p>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.</p><p>A 🧵 </p><p><a href="https://hostux.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a> <a href="https://hostux.social/tags/AmberAle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmberAle</span></a> <a href="https://hostux.social/tags/SessionBeer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SessionBeer</span></a></p>
Theodore Casser<p>I decided to open a bottle of the latest beer I'd brewed tonight. I'm not *huge* on Belgian beers - I'm not big on the funk and all that - but it was different and something fun to do for once, making a Belgian Dark Strong Ale. And I missed my OG by quite a bit, so it isnt' quite as alcoholic as I'd hoped... and...</p><p>So before i continue - I stopped at a local brewery on Tuesday, so I could sample another example of the style before I opened mine tonight. So I'd have a recent example in my head and...</p><p>It's not often that tasting a beer gets me to rename it. But WOW.</p><p>It's estery, and dark, and malty, hints of dark fruits, and just fantastic. (And my wife even drank some without making the horrible beer face she makes.)</p><p>And now it is called Oh. My. Quad.</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a></p>
Brudi Bräu<p>Any Lager brewers present who siphon the beer to a secondary vessel for lagering?</p><p>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.</p><p>Here's my question: How do you do that? Or do you have some other idea to get around that problem?</p><p><a href="https://hostux.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a></p>
Mute Dog Brewing<p>It's incredible the difference in flavor between the bottled saison and the exact same beer on tap. Carb levels are different for sure, but even drinking the last of this bottle two hours later it's still so different. Maybe I should try naturally carbonating the keg next time?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeBrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeBrewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Beer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Beer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Saison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Saison</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WildYeast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WildYeast</span></a></p>
