Finally Brewed !!!

Post #1 made 7 years ago
by jhough
Finally got to brew a batch... Long time in the making. Brewed up my Amber Ale on Labor Day weekend , for us Yanks .
Smoked a Pork Butt at the same time. Time ran late, so I put the ale in a clean carboy with an airlock. Had to lower temp to pitching temp which took 3 days, life got in the way so it was 10 days b4 pitching. At 4 days I started seeing krausen, ...did I pick up a wild yeast ???? Not sure .... After 10 days pitched rehydrated US- 05 satchet . 3 days after I've got krausen again in the carboy... Guess I'll find out what it will taste like in a couple of months. I did keep the temp at 68* whilst waiting for a day off to pitch the yeast. I'll raise temp to 72* for last couple of days before cold crashing.

It will be interesting to see what you come up with... Hopefully its something that is okay.

I've been going to a homebrew group a couple times a month, and some of the guys have "harvested" natural yeast in their basements, or that kind of thing... Their own "house strains"... Some of the beers produced from it are good, like a Belgian Farmhouse Ale... So for your sake, I hope that's what you wind up with. ;)

Just out of interest for us "internationals"; Is this a euphemism for smoking marijuana, or is it literally putting pigs ass in a smoker? :scratch: :lol: :lol:

I spent lots of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I squandered
I've stopped drinking, but only when I'm asleep
I ONCE gave up women and alcohol - it was the worst 20 minutes of my life

Joe and I are not authorized to smoke mj in Florida. I'm sure a brew day would go south very rapidly, if done.

Pork was fantastic Tom ! {IMHO} Gravity reading on Sunday was 1.026 :scratch: :think: :scratch:
not sure why, but , guess no wild yeast . Will give a good shake and let go till Thursday or Friday as I had to do the "old man " procedures today and still a little weak. I'll probably keep temp in the 72f/22c range till then. Once I figure out how to post a file I'll put it up.
