Apple pie ale (files.catbox.moe)
 

Modified entry to a local homebrew contest. They gave us 5 gals of wort, lightly hopped, light brown ale. I added 5 lbs blended apples, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice. 2 weeks primary, 4 weeks secondary, 4 weeks bottle. Ale flavor is mild, apple and spice flavor is great. Could be a touch sweeter.

(bonus Megas XLR bottle opener, have to brag, lol.)

 

I'm thinking of scaling down. When I started brewing, everything was 5 gallons. After having made some terrible beers over my time, and with so many options I want to try out and compare, I was thinking of scaling down. For example, if I wanna compare yeasts, maybe I make a SMASH beer but 2x1 gal. Use yeast A in the 1st gal and yeast B in the 2nd gal.

Also, I enjoy the act of brewing, but I only drink 1 beer a day, so that takes me 1.5 months to get thru 5gal a batch.

Has anyone scaled down? Did anything change or surprise you?

Kiddo wanted a ring holder. Kiddo gets a ring holder.

I really liked the coin model and my kiddo wanted something to hold rings and guitar picks, so I made it thinner and touched up the central detail.

I got roughly 12k, which is a lifetime for me. (I bottle exclusively)

Blech. Tepache failure. It's supposed to go for 3-5 days, but mine didn't kick off for a bit. Day 6 & tastes good, but smells like a barn has gym feet. So weird.

This is my first cider. I threw in some grapes I'd frozen a while ago. I bottled directly from primary. 2 weeks in the bottle and I checked on it, saw the sludge on the left. A night in the fridge and then poured off the clear cider into one glass and the sludge into another. So much sludge. A good 15-20% of the volume. Lesson learned - rack to 2ndary for clarity sake.

Oh, yeah. That makes sense. Sigh. I have to be more careful I guess.

I'm not a bot. I wanted to post on this account. Not that one. I deleted the other post almost immediate. Idk how they got this screen shot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yeah. I deleted that one bc I'd rather it on this account. Please delete this image. I don't want any connection between my two accounts.

De label them as you go? Not a bad idea.

Ive tried oxi clean and it works but it destroys my hands and needs rinsing off. I like baking soda. It's weaker and gets consumed faster but it's easier on my hands and cheap.

Valid question. As others have said, it's for change ability. I do write in sharpie on the box for the box capacity and contents. However, I have 3 or 4 of these boxes and I swap around the stuff in them a lot. It's always bottles but sometimes the box is full, sometimes not. Some bottles are ready, some need de labeling. This way I know at a glance what the status of my inventory is.

I have considered swing tops but I have trouble believing that they'd hold well enough. I bottle because I don't drink much or quickly and I want to give away stuff.

Have you used swing tops? Can you recommend them? I have some from another brewer but haven't tried them. I could try a few next batch.
