4:19pm: fiddled with some loose wiring on my ferm chamber
7:25 pm: impatiently sniffed the airlock
10:30pm: waited a full five minutes for a bubble, then sniffed the airlock
Ugh. Another week in primary, then two in secondary, then 10 days to bottle condition.
1:05am: swore a solemn oath to myself to never, ever let my pipeline run dry.
Brewed yet another batch of Electric Hop Candy Jr (a New England style Pale Ale) in the basement brewery. Cold and rainy outside so perfect day to brew inside!

Ha! I like it... maybe in our next house?Kal, if I had the cash for a brewery and tasting room like yours it would be on the ground floor of the house and my family would live in the basement.
Added dry hops at high krausen to my Electric Hop Candy Kr new england pale.

Get a hop taco too!Ordered a 400 micron, 6" dia.x 14" stainless hop filter from adventures in homebrewing. I'm going to recirc through it during the boil to maximize hop utilization, then empty the hops at flame out and recirc the chiller output through it to remove as much break material and trub as possible before knock out. Hopefully it will get here by Sunday, I can't wait to try it out!
Finished (mostly) plumbing the garage Keezer. 3 ports for force carbing, 3 for serving. Got the rig all setup for a brewday early tomorrow. Pumpkin Ale. Late, but will be appreciated in Dec.
