I wanted to make sure I had something I could be ready to brew anytime, that wouldn\u2019t suffer from sitting around until I had time to brew. I was hoping to brew Saturday evening, but the weather conspired against me. While at the home brew shop picking up the final pieces for the keggerator, I decided to buy liquid yeast. After getting home the yeast was already a little swelled, so I burst the activator with the intention of brewing that evening brew. By the time I was ready to brew, rain was eminent. Once again, I\u2019m left with slightly less optimal yeast. Having to postpone I cleaned stuff and prepped for tonights brew night. Which lead to a funny conversation with T about how much time I spend cleaning stuff for brewing, and how little I spend cleaning other things .<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-right\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"imageStyle\" alt=\"IMG_1440\" src=\"http:\/\/thebottlefarm.com\/blog\/files\/img_1440.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"326\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Tonights brew plan:<br \/>\nPut 2 in brew pot.<br \/>\nIncrease temp to 158.<br \/>\nAdd grain, and steep at 155 for 25.<br \/>\nFill up swamp warmer w\/ water.<br \/>\nFill 5g pot w\/ rest of water to top of boil kettle.<br \/>\nGather rest of ingredients.<br \/>\nRemove steeped grains and feed to chickens.<br \/>\nTop up water to 5.49 gal.<br \/>\nAdd DME while bringing to a boil.<br \/>\nBoil 60 Minutes<br \/>\n@0 add 3\/4 oz nugget.<br \/>\n@50 add 1\/4 tsb irish moss<br \/>\n@50 add chiller<br \/>\n@60 Stir to whirlpool.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"imageStyle\" alt=\"IMG_1435\" src=\"http:\/\/thebottlefarm.com\/blog\/files\/img_1435.jpg\" width=\"816\" height=\"612\" \/><br \/>\nCommence Chilling immediately.<br \/>\nChill to 65 or as close to as possible.<br \/>\nTransfer to carboy.<br \/>\nAerate while bringing wort to basement.<br \/>\nTake SG reading.<br \/>\nSet in water bath set at 68.<br \/>\nPitch.<br \/>\n\ufffc<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"imageStyle\" alt=\"IMG_1456\" src=\"http:\/\/thebottlefarm.com\/blog\/files\/img_1456.jpg\" width=\"612\" height=\"816\" \/><br \/>\nSome things went ok, like hitting temps and times for steeping and hops.<br \/>\nThere are some things I\u2019m still struggling with, cooling, trube, and boil volumes.<br \/>\nI missed my post boil volume significantly, and transferred a ton of crap when I went to primary because I wasn\u2019t able to cool effectively, w\/out stirring up a ton of trube.<\/p>\n<p>Things I\u2019ll do different next time.<br \/>\nSteep in 5g pot to allow warming extract and water during steeping time.<br \/>\nEither filter trube, or chill more patiently.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, no fatal flaws, and I hope it turns out well, as we\u2019ll have guests trying it labor day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my prior project update I mentioned the all grain setup, but I had this Oatmeal stout extract kit I purchased from Austin Homebrew Supply that I need to brew.
