And then made a new thread about it. Oh well, it was getting stuffy anyways.

Kegging and Bottling / Unlabelled Kegs
« on: July 11, 2012, 10:57:21 AM »
Are a pain. I need to get the darn brewer to be more organized. I have 4 kegs sitting here full of beer that isn't labelled. So, here I am tasting them and wondering what style it fits. Geez what a mess...
Maybe its a good thing, I can call it what it tastes like and not worry about what it was meant to be. Oh well, just a rant for today. I know that one is a solera sour that was aged, and its pretty good. One I am pretty sure is my Swiller Lite, as it has very little body, fizzy and yellow.
The other two are red. I make lots of variations of red beers, so thats an issue.

Beer Recipes / Tallgrass Oasis Clone

This is my second favorite beer, with Surly Furious edging it out by a very close margin.
I brewed this up last Saturday, but instead of using an ale yeast I have it in the fridge with 830 lager yeast. I just racked 15 gallons out, so I dumped 2 cakes and split one amongst the three fermenters.
I used the NB recipe, and scaled it to 12 gallons for my batch. When its all done and carbed up I will add a picture of the beer in a glass also.
Oasis
12 gallon batch
OG 1.075
GRAINS
22 lb Pale Malt
2 lb C-60
2 lb C-40
Mash at 155 for 60 min
HOPS
2 oz Northern Brewer 60 min
2 oz Columbus 60 min
1 oz Columbus 15 min
1/4 oz Northern Brewer 15 min
2 oz Cascade Flame out
I did a hop stand for 30 min, then through the chiller to the fermenter.
Dry Hop
1 oz Cascade 7 days
1 oz Columbus 7 days

General Homebrew Discussion / My Mini Brew model
« on: June 26, 2012, 08:32:14 AM »
I am making a little brew system for a shelf in my mancave. I ended up purchasing a box full of old brass calorimeters at an auction last week and am working on making it look cool as a display.
Here is what I have so far, I want to make a little auger to bring in the grain and find a toy bin for the malt as well.
From the picture below, from the right to the left I have the
HLT
Mash Tun
Boil kettle
then the rest are just extra's.
On the far left is what I will call a still. (Not sure if it shows up too well, crappy cell phone picture.)
Anyone have any ideas of other stuff to add? I was thinking of a mini catwalk, but not sure what to make it out of. I'm not too good at art.
I'm going to dig out the good camera, I can't get a decent picture with the phone I guess.

This is tied with Surly Furious as my favorite beer. Wow is it a malty, rich, hop bomb! I highly recommend trying it if you ever have the chance.

All Things Food / Made my own Bacon
« on: January 30, 2011, 09:58:04 AM »
My Dad and a friend butchered 5 pigs a couple weeks ago, and I mentioned to cut out the bellies and I will cure and smoke them.
I rubbed them with sea salt and maple sugar a couple weeks ago. Smoked them yesterday. Turned out quite tasty! The belly pictured is 8lb.
Here are some pictures for proof
