I think I like that last idea. Yes Ron, I should be here more often. Moving at the speed of life, ten gallons of stuff in a five gallon bucket and more such cliches. Speaking of buckets of gallons, just started a brewing spree. Four buckets of triple in the fermenting chambers. Need all I can make for an SCA event in July.
Also, working on a new beer cart. Started with a 1978 EZGO golf cart. Stay tuned......

HAH, fixed it. Flickr doesn't make it easy though.
Back to green hops..... is there a DIY to get a ballpark bittering power of your home grown? Or is it pure trial and error....?

I assume you didn't use it for bittering? And how the heck did you get that picture to show?

Hi Denny, are you seeing the pic? I get a blue "?" (MAC equivalent of the red "x") It's on flickr.....
Interestingly a right click on it gets me to the pic, so it's just the thumbnail I'm not seeing.....hmmmm

Ok, worked all night and hoofed down here at noon, figuring, you know, early morning bar atmosphere, quiet, chat with the bartender... Wrong..... The joint is PACKED.
Meanwhile, the Sneak Attack saison is awesome.

Thought about coffee liqueur too..... This will all happen at keg time, so I'll take a sample of the beer and do some experimenting in the lab.....

OK, so my devious little mind is contemplating this all.....
Has anyone ever taken some vodka and infused it with espresso grinds?

Yes, busy.....four letter word, starts with "w"...
OK, I get it, no hot coffee..... How does one do a cold steep? Just add water to grounds, stir and let sit, repeat and let settle, rack to keg??
BTW, today was batches 83-87..... coming up on 100. Will have to do something special...

As I schlepped tub upon tub of empty bottles to the curb today..... OK, so I am supporting craft breweries and that's a good thing....we'll it's darn near a car payment....for a Cadillac!
Anywho.....today I cranked out 10 gallons of IPA....it will get dry hopped in about a week and should be a nice fruity bev....
And 10 gallons of imperial stout, half of which will get coffee fu fu'd as that's what some of my friends like....yes we're heading for a get together SCA style end of the month...
So, there IS a question in here. I was thinking for the "espresso keg" to brew a few pots of coffee using an espresso grind, then boiling the results down about 75%, after which I would add the syrup to the keg....
Sounds like a plan?

OK, the beast has finally calmed down.....figure I lost about 2 qts. Installed a hose and salvaged one qt and put it in a soda bottle with CO2 on it.....will see what the gravity is later. Need to get a bigger bucket for this animal!
