Beer went into the keg last night!

Yeah, I agree with the citrus peel flavor. Going to put it into the keg probably tonight or tomorrow. I'm sure the aroma will be amplified once it is carbonated.

Just took a gravity reading and it's down to 1.006. And the aroma and bitterness are freaking spot on! This has been my best beer yet, and this will totally be made again and on the reg. Can't wait to get this in the keg and carbonated.

I don't know yet, but it will be ready to keg on Thursday. It smells awesome In the fermenter bucket. I will be sure to post first tasting notes.

You are correct. But I'm just playing around can always make another batch to improve and adjust the hop bomb.

Just wanting to see what this does for right now. After I taste this batch I may bump it up a bit.

just started drinking on my fist all grain batch and it turned out pretty good. I was still figuring out my equipment, but I have it down now. I think if I do this again I will definitely dry hop it. But it did make for a decent beer. It's only been in the keg for about three days now.

Yeah, I'm down there all the time. I guess I need to remember to ask him if he knows of any place.

Just dry hopped with 1.5oz of FF.

Is there any where around the Athens, Buford or lawrenceville area that fills beer gas?

Right at day six and still have a krausen on it. Fermentation as been really active on this batch. Only the second time I have used Wyeast 1056.

Yeah I know but I want to try putting another beer on top of this yeast cake. Just to see how it works.

Man your system is awesome! I've already showed the wife. I can't wait until we get our own place, and build something like this.

Checked the fermenter today and the blowoff tube still has a lot of activity. So I'm going to wait until Saturday or Sunday before I transfer it into the secondary and dry hop. The last batch I did with 1056 did the same thing(fist time using) this stuff works really hard in a good way. If that...

Based of AA% it should be right at 91 IBU. And you aint lying it made it so much easier.

Just made my first first batch of FF IPA. I have to say this way was my fastest going all grain brew day. With my hops filter I made.

No shame man! I have the same deal going on. The wheels the mash tun is on were more than everything else in the photo.

Left: Irish red ale for st. Patrick's Day fourth week in secondary fermenter. Right: American strong Ale that was my first all grain brew day this past Friday night.

Ended up changing the the grain bill a bit after some reading. Made it last night and seems to have turned out great. 10.5 lbs of 2-row 3 lbs of 6-row 12oz of Crystal 20 4oz of chocolate malt Hops 1oz warrior AA 15.8% BA 4.4% 60mins 1oz cascade AA 5.5% BA 6.3% 45mins 1oz fuggles AA 4.0% BA...
