Homebrewers - Whats in the fermenter?

Mikes · 01-30-2012, 08:00 AM

TriCerahops IIPA and Zelos IPA came out of a 2 week ferment and have been carbing in the keg for about a week and are pretty damn good. Still think I like the flavor profile of a more citrus based IPA.

Into the fermenter goes 10 gal of Goose Island Honkers Ale and 10 gal of Easy Street Wheat. Still have room for 4 more kegs so over the weekend I built a wooden shelf to place into the garage fridge so that we can lager / make Pilsners / marzens etc.....Just need to get another Johnson temp control and more kegs lol.

I kegged a Falconer's Flight IPA last night after adding a fourth (and final) tap to my keezer. I had to bring my co2 tank out to make room and re-run and splice some gas lines, but got it up and running.

At the request of my girlfriend I also experimented with making a partial keg of beergaritas for a party we're having later this month.

They're a mix of limeade concentrate, a couple light beers, a couple cans of Sprite and tequila (I think that's all ... she mixed them so I'm not sure of the ratios). Pretty sweet for my tastes but refreshing.

We mixed up about a gallon and it seemed to work great so it'll be fun to have something on tap for the non-beer drinkers
