It's been busy here so no brewing. I got an email from iBrew about the Brewtan B that I ordered... it just said, "Your order has shipped!". I have no idea how long it will take to get here but I plan to hold off until it's here. We are going to [what was supposed to be] a backyard BBQ tonight and I was asked to bring beer. I'm not sure that people understand how tricky it is for a brewer to have "portable beer" whenever asked. So this afternoon I put some APA, Czech Amber Lager and Bordertown Dark Lager into growlers and big 750ml bottles to bring with me. I also have 12oz bottles of my Raspberry Ale to bring with me.
3g kegs and one of these and problem solved!

Nelson wheat is on the schedule again in a couple weeks. Great summer beer.

Should be good. Can you also research a way to have the final results for both batches by Saturday? That would be great. Keep us posted and enjoy your brewdays.I'm brewing Tues. and wed. this week. Tues. is German pils with Brewtan B, Wed. is the same recipe without it.

Fastest 1bbl brew day yet. 8 hours. Usually takes me about 10-12 but thats just because I like to take my time and maybe drink a beer. My brother being there meant no lollygagging. With some upgrades I could probably knock that down by an hour or two easily.

It is. Mtn did you do a send runnings beer or run off some starter wort with the leftover sugars? Or just chuck it?

No we didn't and I felt guilty about it. We discussed it but in the end never worked up sufficient motivation.

That sounds great Mic. What will the SRM be?
about 7, gold with just the hint of copper
I used only 1/4 lb each of the charachter malts
oops totallt forgot the 2 lbs of munich 10L derpy derp derp derp!
I actually tried incorporating a couple of the LODO ideas into this one (within the limitations of my system and or skepticism)
I minimized stirring during cooling, and I had my started yeast in the carboy already when I drained the kettle wort, then splash aerated, and skipped the pure O2.
