Mega Users seabass07 Posted November 26, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted November 26, 2012 It's a bartender job and I'll be trained on the brewing equipment immediately. We'll be opening in the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWSPECB Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Bump. Planning on trying a sessions pale recipe I threw together in a couple weeks. Also planning a CDA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users seabass07 Posted December 11, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted December 11, 2012 I have a session PA in the fermenter. I'll be dryhopping it in the next day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSPECB Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Just about finished building my keezer so once I get that project squared away I can brew more since I will be able to accommodate a bit more volume. I'm thinking I need to get something lighter in the works as well for my friends who think bud light is gods gift to mankind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users seabass07 Posted December 11, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted December 11, 2012 Maybe a kolsch or a mock lager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSPECB Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yeah I was thinking a kolsch actually. I'm gonna buy one next time my buddy comes over and have him try it. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users seabass07 Posted December 11, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted December 11, 2012 Hale's ales has a pretty good one. I haven't really had any others that I like. But see if they like dead guy. That's a good stepping stone for bud drinkers and easy to make if you can ferment in the upper 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSPECB Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Iirc he doesn't like dead guy. Might have been someone else. It mostly a mental block he has telling himself he only likes bud light. He won't even drink keystone or Coors because they are inferior products to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyFast Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 There's no help for those people. I just tell them to bring their own beer and there's more tasty beer left for me. We did a blind light beer tasting once with about 8-9 different light beers and nobody was able to tell the difference between them. You should have seen the dismay on some people's faces when they couldn't pick out the light beer that they have been so blindly following for so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyFast Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I was able to single out the Miller Light and Coors Light but the rest tasted exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSPECB Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I've been wanting to do this with a bunch of my buddies from college. Some only drink keystone, some coors, some bud, mostly busch (all light). Maybe next time I get together with them I can talk them into it. I'd really like to take a bunch of coors light bottles (or other light beer) and fill them with an imperial IPA or RIS or something and recap them and then give them out to those guys too. Anyways, anybody been brewing lately? Got my keezer squared away. 4 taps, 3 kegs at the moment. Blackberry Cider, Bourbon Vanilla Porter and a Red Rye that should be done carbing saturday-ish. Brewed a pale recipe I made (first recipe I made myself so I figured I'd start with something simple) on the 24th of last month and then did a nut brown on new years eve - day.

Mega Users seabass07 Posted January 4, 2013 Mega Users Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'm planning on bottling the session PA tomorrow. Although it's more of a hoppy amber ale. Also about ready to bottle a roggenbier. I'm hoping to brew twice next week. Still too many ideas on what to do next...I'm thinking a belgian pale ale, or maybe I'll do a barley wine and an old ale to drink next winter. I'm going to make a carbon block filter to reduce chlorine since my current method of boiling all of my water before using it is a massive PITA and adds a couple of hours to my brew day.

NWSPECB Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I need to get my water report. I've just been using the water I have and have had no problems really but I need to know if I need to change my practices at all. On another note how is the new brewery doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users seabass07 Posted January 4, 2013 Mega Users Share Posted January 4, 2013 Doing pretty good. We're in 4 bars so far and the tap room has been pretty busy. They're brewing a CDA today. Can't wait for that. Take the water report with a grain of salt (pun intended). It's just a report from one day. It's pretty reliable on minerals, but for chlorine, it varies day to day. There are also days where they use considerably more. I didn't do anything to my water for a while with no issues. Then on a brew day, I happened to taste my water after it sat out for an hour and smelled a lot of chlorine. That batch ended up with the plastic bandaid chlorophenol flavor. So now I bring all of my water to a boil and cool it down to the temp I need. That gets rid of all of the chlorine, but takes a couple of extra hours to boil and cool around 10 gallons of water.

NWSPECB Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yeah, I just use what I go with no problems for now. I just kinda want to look at it to get an idea of what's goin on. Next time I'm up that way I'm hoping to stop in and check the taproom out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyFast Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 My tap water is shit so I buy distilled and add in calcium chloride. Made a huge difference in my beers. My SO4 is at about 300ppm. Finally getting around to brewing my rye IPA today. It's beautiful out. I'm looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
