Homebrewers - Whats in the fermenter?

[cricky101]

I brewed a couple recipes from homebrewtalk.com. A belgian wit and a cream ale with corn and rice adjuncts.

I'm preparing for a party my girlfriend and I are planning and want plenty of beer on tap the crowd will like. I thought the light cream ale and Belgian wit (Blue Moon-ish) would work well. I plan to have a cream stout and a hoppy IPA on tap, too. Along with the contents of the liquor cabinet, hopefully I'll have everyone covered!

Did you brew the cream of three crops? I just kicked a keg of it and it was fantastic. My efficiency was a lot higher than I plan and I had great attenuation. Therefore, it had a pretty high ABV.

My two keg brewing system is almost complete. I'm still acquiring all the fittings for the HLT (i.e. sight glass, ball valve, center pickup, thermometer) but the BK is compete. Next I have to figure out if I'm going full blown with the single tier double burner stand with pump or two individual burners and heavy lifting.

Yep. It's the cream of three crops. It's my first time using corn and rice, but it sounds like a tasty one!

The co2 tank on my keezer kicked last night, so it's off to Northern Brewer on my lunch break today for an exchange. I really need to get a second tank to have on hand.

I recently bought a spare that I keep full. I bought it at a fire protection store. They were able to take replace the valve on a fire extinguisher with a beverage valve, hydro test, and fill for under $50.
