Good. I never trust that an airlock will work for the first few days, at least. I am paranoid, though. Well, that and I am pretty new at this stuff.

at least i was expecting it, even if not quite prepared.

Just bottled my modified Oktoberfest yesterday morning. Tasted pretty good a little sweet but the gravity checked ok so im hoping that fades away. it will be another month or so before its ready to drink.

Crash cooling my 2012 Hopslam clone, and cooked up my first brew in anticipation of the summer today: a cream ale.

Got the Belgian Dubble in the secondary, and a Porter in the fermenter now.

I grabbed 4 lbs.

Kegged 10 gallons of robust porter this evening. It is gonna take awhile to drink all that. Better get something else started soon.

ktblunden · 02-07-2012, 08:45 AM

Sometime this week I'll be racking my stout into secondary on top of some vanilla beans that have been soaking in a little bourbon for a couple weeks. Smells awesome, can't wait to see how this one turns out.

Bruiser Berry Berry Hef was damn good!

replicant_argent · 02-09-2012, 08:46 PM

Does anyone have a nitro tank/regulator they want to sell?

Isnt it just a co2 tank but with nitro in it basically?

replicant_argent · 02-09-2012, 09:58 PM

nope, smaller, designed for higher pressure. Can't fill a CO2 tank with nitro, fittings are different.

Came across a case of homebrew I bottled, best recollection, some 25 plus years ago. It's an extremely dark brew and recall sharing a couple 22oz bottle with neighbors shortly after bottling and did it have one heck of a kick. Faced with the dilemma of tossing the batch or test it; if so, should the subject be human, animal, or insect. Possibly arrange a herf and if BCaxman does not surface in a couple days, toss it. Any suggestions??

If you were well sanitized you don't have anything to worry about in tasting it except flavor. Go for it, and report back.

If you're really worried about contamination or something just check around the meniscus area on the bottles. If there is no funk you are fine. If there is funk, you probably are still fine.
