1228.75 + 5 gallons of smoked porter 1233.75

Finally getting around to brewing my smoked porter that I've had the ingredients for since February.

I was at a restaurant the other day looking at the menu. The waitress came over and asked if I knew what I wanted. I said “Yes, I’ll have a quickie”. She got angry and slapped me and stormed off. Apparently that's not how you pronounce quiche.

Kegged the beer that I made from the wort giveaway 3 weeks ago. Drank a bunch of winter warmer because I need that keg to kick to make room for the new beers.

Currently showing a gravity of 0.990 and 150% apparent attenuation according to Tilt.

Yeah, actually measured gravity was 1.055. I'm curious to see how low the Tilt has it go.

Had a few too many homebrews during my brew day. Changed the battery in my Tilt and put it into distilled water to calibrate. Forgot to actually calibrate the thing before I dropped it into the fermenter. Showing me a starting gravity of 1.020. Don't do that.

137 + 5 gallons of American pale ale. 142

Attaboy Brewing in Frederick MD was giving away wort to home brewers today. Picked up 9 gallons that are boiling right now.

I have everything ready for a smoked porter, just need to take all my equipment out and get going...

Not drinking this one now, but I saw this on the shelf (conveniently there was no price tag) and grabbed it. Almost had a heart attack when it rang up for $60 but should be a good beer when I eventually open it.

Got my Winter Warmer into the keg. Finished up at 9%, looking forward to getting this one carbonated.

I found a new hobby in case I ever get bored with brewing

I've had some bitter orange peel and ginger soaking in brandy for 2 weeks. Dumped that all into the fermenter today before I keg my winter warmer tomorrow.

Had to refill my S airlock. Somehow the fermentation blew all of the liquid out of the thing and left it in a puddle on the lid of my fermenter. Never seen that happen before.

I ended up with this entire week off since I need to start using my PTO before I lose it at the end of the year, so I got up with the sun this morning and have a Winter Warmer mashing now.
