What's everyone brewing?

Bad brew day. Couldn't get a boil, pot was black with soot. Just dumped a 10 gallon batch of wit.

Shit - that doesn't sound good.

Bugger!

I think the bolt was too tight. It snapped when taking it off. Just fired it up without the bolt loose and had a perfect blue flame. Taking 2 weeks off brewing then getting back on the wagon once time allows.

dumped 10gal..that's aweful

[Keith]

Yea after having issues, burning 2 towels trying to maintain temp, etc, etc. I decided to say fuck it. It was 5:30 had to get supper the kids bathed and didn't feel like having a 10 hour brew day.

I'll be replacing my Burner next and upgrading to something that will support my new 55 gallon pot when I decide to upgrade.

man...u should have used a "phone a friend"

I would have been sour every time I poured a pint of that beer lol.

[jacinthebox]

lol...alot of bad stuff would need to happen in order for me to dump wort...like if someone dumped in my wort lol

[Keith]

I was going to try and salvage it. But after trying to maintain a boil by wrapping the pot, and burning a few towels I up and said fuck it.

[LeafMan66_67]

man...u should have used a "phone a friend"

Yep - use the "panic post" Brewnoser option - there's always a burner around!

[Jimmy]

That's what I told him. I would have fermented the wort as-is. See what happens..lol

[Keith]

I was tempted to.

Shitty! I have the KAB6 Bayou Classic 210,00 btu burner and really like how it shaves time off my brew day. I can get 10-12 g to boil in about 15 mins from pulling my BIAB. You should consider it. I save allot of propane with a heat shield. It took me a while to figure out the beast. I need to keep the propane cylinder in a bucket of water so its doesn't freeze up.

Wow, that sounds like quite the burner! A real quick Google looks like best place to buy it is OBK? Is that where you got yours?

I may know of someone selling a Darkstar burner in the near future.

[Woody]

I picked it up at OBK when they started carrying it last spring. Free shipping at the time. When I first started using it I couldn't get two 6 gallon batches to a tank. Played with it and using a heat shield I've done two 10 g batches and have 25 % propane left in my tank now. It's a beast and a pig on propane but worth a look for big batches.

The Wayfarers Ale people were here last Saturday. We ate bacon, drank beer and brewed my latest beer, an IPA called “Three”. Amarillo Galaxy and Simcoe, dry hopped a bit with Simcoe and using the Conan. I kegged it today and I really like it. I think I’ll crash carb/chill one of the kegs for 24hrs and bottle a couple of bottles to send to Winnipeg for feedback.

It’s a bit exciting being part of the new brewery planned for 2015. It is all falling into place nicely. Nothing to do with me, but they have an amazing organization/group of investors. I think it is going to be quite something. It's a huge project starting up something like that. As brewers we think we are the be all and end all of beer, but really we are just technicians and part of a bigger picture.

[LiverDance]

Mark I believe the opposite, it's all about the beer and the brewer has everything to do with that. Read Johnny Macs sig.

charmers and I are brewing up an American style red today

I agree with LiverDance - it's about the beer, and as a homebrewer, I definitely don't think I'm the be all and end all of beer - I'm along for the ride and if I can learn something new at each brew session that is a bonus!

I'm making the base for two fruit beers today, one blueberry and one raspberry.

Finished up a porter this afternoon. First brew in the new place, very happy everything went smoothly.

[Woody]

RIS tomorrow. I'm going to dry nib this baby in secondary and add a vanilla bean or two as well. Trying to make something similar to Boxing Rocks U889. Really enjoyed that beer.
