Homebrewers - Whats in the fermenter?

b0rderman · 03-21-2011, 10:53 PM

my first ~all-grain, although just a half batch, and I blew it!

Forgot the flaked wheat on the modified Chimay GR clone! WTF! Anyway, it was only 1/16th of the grain bill, but still...weak move. It was in a separate bag because I didn't run it through the mill at the shop. Went to grab my thief after the cool and there is a brown paper bag sitting there. Oh well, hit 1.070 OG and I don't think I'll mind drinkin it

.

I'd like to try a slightly finer mill next time so I can really start settling in to some decent BIAB efficiencies.

All grain batches right now:

Kegged: Northern Brown, British pale Ale, Honey Cream Ale. A 2 hearted clone is going down fast. A honey Altbier is about dead and a sangria made with wine we made in 2009 is up next.

Fermenting: Kriek (started last sunday). This will take ~18 months. At least 12 before I add the cherries.

Next: Oatmeal stout, Porter, another Cream Ale, another Kriek, and 10 gallon batches of Jamil's Robust Porter and my ersatz 2 hearted.
