I had a busy work week and I anticipated that today may be slow.  A contact at one of my customers was on a golf outing and when I sent emails to two contacts at other customers, I got an "out of the office" reply.  So I kegged that Session IPA this afternoon and I made the Cabana Lager this evening.  When I went to get a beer around 7pm tonight, I figured I would try to drain the keg of Amarillo-Citra pale ale so the Session IPA could take its place.  Mission accomplished... I got about 4 ounces of beautiful, crystal-clear pale ale and then some brown sludge.  So I swapped out that keg and put my English Summer Ale on that tap in the meantime.  There was also a primary of Vienna Lager (made with 940) that had to go to secondary so I could get the yeast for the Cabana Lager.  Now I'm cleaning and sanitizing the blown pale ale keg and filling it with helles.  You would think I'm running a production brewery over here for Jeebus' sake!

That's the type of productivity that makes our country great!

 

Or at least, keeps your beer pipeline full.  A win, either way, in my book.

Brewed 10 gallons, kegged 10 gallons and moved 10 gallons to the kegerator.

Agreed!

Whoa. Busy, busy, busy!Also, I just noticed that TWO of these threads exist and I have no idea why. Maybe a mod will come and sweep that up.

Eh, that was all during the brew.  I think it was a bit over 5 hours from recipe to cleanup.

Nicely done.

5 hours from recipe to clean up seems to always be my duration. Always.

Yesterday I pulled a maximum output day. It was a telecommute day so I went out during lunch and set up to brew. Grind and measure grains, fill kettle, etc. Kicked on the burner an hour and a half before log out time. Mashed in 1/2 hour later. Started the sparge when I got off. All cleaned up by 6.
