Rizzmaster Zero<p>Got a new batch of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mead</span></a> going. Local wildflower honey and SafAle US-05 yeast. And yeah, that's half a pink grapefruit. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a></p>
Tom<p>Transferred the California Gewurztraminer wine to a carboy for degassing and clearing. It is day 22. It was still fermenting slowly and it was about 1.001 a week ago and wasn't bubbling at all yesterday and measured 0.996 today. It gets the chitosan and reserves tomorrow.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/winemaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>winemaking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wine</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fermenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fermenting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WineKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WineKit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a></p>

Brudi Bräu<p>I have taken gravity readings of my Amber Ale yesterday and today and I have tried a sip each time to see how that German terroir would change the character of the Cascade hops.</p><p>I'm getting that typical Cascade-y bitterness with pine and grapefruit notes but mixed with a lot of Mango. It's quite lovely. I hope that all makes it through to the final beer.</p><p>That terrible "the fermentation isn't complete yet" grainyness has to go though 😅 </p><p><a href="https://hostux.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a></p>
Fun-sized tiger dad<p>Finally got taxes dropped off today. Looks like we'll owe significantly less this year?</p><p>Missed reporting the removal of the DNEIPA because of unrelated stress. Transfer / keg / bottle / condition all successful...final product is more amber than I'd like, probably because of some older grain...hazy light amber is just ugly. But it smells so damn good, and the balance appears spot-on. I want it in my body but it's still way too green. It'll probably take a while to get rid of acetaldehyde as I'm pushing the yeast's alcohol tolerance.</p><p>I'm otherwise my current usual (stressed / antisocial / miserable but surviving).</p><p>Leaving for San Diego for a scouting trip in less than a week. Hoping to find *something* in the context of that excursion that'll bring me a bit of genuine happiness.</p><p><a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/beer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beer</span></a> <a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/alcohol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alcohol</span></a> <a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a> <a href="https://tiggi.es/tags/moving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>moving</span></a></p>
Tom<p>It was around 36-43 hours for the beer to get actively fermenting at less than 60F / 15.5C with US-05 yeast. Looked like about 20 mm of krausen on top and the Speidel was bubbling about every 3 seconds.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeerMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeerMaking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/brewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brewing</span></a></p>

Tom<p>Chickens love the spent grains. Second half done same as first except only the boil was cooled and then added to the fermenter and then topped up with cold water. OG is about 1.052 which is a bit higher than the 1.048 target but it was at or above the 8 gallon mark. Lifted 💪 to the bench, and cleaned up and sealed and airlock filled. Suppose to keep it 60-62F 15.5-16.5C for fermenting.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeerMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeerMaking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/brewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brewing</span></a></p>
Tom<p>Only boiled 25% of the DME with a half volume boil. The rest added at 50 minutes which cools it down to almost 170F. Used an old keggle to put the boil pot in to cool, it worked ok, I didn't use any ice so it took a while to cool it off but the hops was in a bag so it wasn't lingering at high temps at all. Yeast pitched on the first half when it was cool.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/beer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BeerMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeerMaking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/brewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brewing</span></a></p>

Brudi Bräu<p>This won't surprise anyone: I ferment the Amber Ale in an open vessel. I use Lallemand Nottingham dry yeast at 16°C. This is the Ol' Reliable of the homebrewing world and I was always super impressed by how clean it ferments almost any beer under almost any condition.</p><p>I am also excited to see the effect of Kräusen-scooping on the hop notes. West coast hops like Cascade can get a little grating and by scooping the hop resins off, this should make the beer a bit smoother.</p><p><a href="https://hostux.social/tags/homebrewing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homebrewing</span></a></p>

Brewday at Brudi Bräu!

Today I am making an American style Session Amber Ale. I think this is an underrated and underbrewed style. Plus when I had Madtree's Amber Ale in Cincinnati last year, I thought I should drink this stuff more often. And since this style is even harder to find in Germany than the US, I have to make it first.

A 🧵

I decided to open a bottle of the latest beer I'd brewed tonight. I'm not *huge* on Belgian beers - I'm not big on the funk and all that - but it was different and something fun to do for once, making a Belgian Dark Strong Ale. And I missed my OG by quite a bit, so it isnt' quite as alcoholic as I'd hoped... and...

So before i continue - I stopped at a local brewery on Tuesday, so I could sample another example of the style before I opened mine tonight. So I'd have a recent example in my head and...

It's not often that tasting a beer gets me to rename it. But WOW.

It's estery, and dark, and malty, hints of dark fruits, and just fantastic. (And my wife even drank some without making the horrible beer face she makes.)

And now it is called Oh. My. Quad.
