Swap beer is bottled, tasted nice out of the fermentor, so looking promising. The second batch was supposed to be kegged yesterday but having a few hiccups with the new system.

[barls]

looking good I'm bottling some time this week.
just as a heads up ribs are about a 6 hour smoke to do right.
just to make you aware.

 

[MastersBrewery]

Yeah thought of that today barls, sure I could could give you a hand early in the day to setup, if that's good with you. Just let me know what time to turn up!

 

[barls]

not that there is much to set up but you want to do them is say 8 would be the time to put them on. if you want to come past earlier in the week i can put them on when i get up and they will be ready when you get here. I've got a rack in the freezer and could do them as well. that would put them around the 2 pm mark.

 

[MastersBrewery]

sounds like a plan.

 

[fletcher]

hey guys. so sorry not to post in ages. uni work has been too stressful and i'll be on internship during this time. sam m and myself will have to pull out

[marksy]

Just bottled all mine.

 

[Reman]

Was going to bottle this weekend but the bugger decided to stall at 1.020, it's been sitting at 18c so I've given the FV a swirl and brought it up to 22c to try and get it to finish. Apparently WLP380s a little notorious for stalling, so hopefully this will get it moving.

Tasting very good out of the FV a nice mix of banana and clove.

 

[barls]

bottled today.

Mine stalled at 1.020, I had to give it a few swirls over couple of days and wrapped it in blankets. Got it down to 1.011, I was in panic mode for a few days there. Haha.

Glad I'm not the only one!

 

[n87]

Mines down to 1.008, and sitting at 0C since Saturday.

I dont think I will get it bottled till just before the swap, to give it a nice long lager, and hopefully make it awesome!

 

[Cortez The Killer]

Bottled mine last week. Finished a little higher than expected @ 1.026 from 1.088 - so a touch more sweetness than I intended - the medium toast american oak is adding some vanilloids too.

[Dan Pratt]

^ ^ couple of question:

Mash temp ?
Yeast ?
Does it taste sweet?
Hydro reading or refractometer?

 

[Mikeyr]

OK, photo doesn't tell the story, was nice and clear first pour, then bit cloudy and frosty after the taste check!!

Could have had more hops, and i was worried about going too hard!

Definitely drinkable and only 3 weeks in the bottle! Not too fishy!

BTW Pratty1, i still have your little fella's hostage, will take along to Barls! They're empty now though.....

 

[Dan Pratt]

Oooh Chinook IPA!

I had forgotten about those soldiers, from memory it was a rye pale ale with mosaic and a robust porter....hope you had them on the day, they were filled from the tap prior to the pickup. Were they any good?
