Great news. She's fermenting like a motherfucker now. Even had to rig up a blowoff this morning. Thanks Nash, Ben and X.

Crazyness! But good. What was the gravity stuck at? Sounds like a hell of a re-fermentation on a stuck brew

It was stuck at 1.032. Still bubbling away now. Will check the gravity tomorrow evening and let you know how the yeasties did.

Color me the new guy, but I read all 16 pages of this thread and I have only one question...

What the hell is a Barrel Filling?

This, except filled from keg and carboys.

And then aged?

Then we come back and refill a carboy with the crazy mixed concoction?

Post by **mr x** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 9:51 am

You got it.

It will be quite the frankenbeer!

hogie · Post by **hogie** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 9:46 pm

So I'm down to 1.025 now and there're still a healthy krausen on the go. Might be cutting it close for Saturday but we shall see.

Post by **mr x** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 9:47 pm

It's fine. Just keep the carboy wrapped in a blanket or out of the sun somehow for the drive.

hogie · Post by **hogie** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 9:47 pm

Down to 1.022 now but I don't think it'll be ready for the weekend. Still way too active.

Post by **mr x** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 9:52 pm

I have no problem if it's still fermenting a bit. In fact, that would be good. But it's up to you if you can transport it.

hogie · Post by **hogie** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 11:12 pm

Well it doesn't look like the hop order will arrive by Friday so I don't know what I'll do. I can arrange transport of the beer if I can't go though. Will see what tomorrow brings.

If you can't make it, we'll go with RobD's beer. I told him I'd let him know early tomorrow, so think about it, and get back to me ASAP.

Since RobD wasn't on the list someone now has to go off the second round, I will give up my spot if it works out that way and hogie can't make it.

Just keep in mind that nobody really knows how much this thing holds...Nash couldn't measure what he put in. I just need to make sure we have 55 gallons ready for this filling, and we can go for m there. I am going to get RobD's beer anyway, and am assuming hogie is out for this round. We still may need your beer yet LD. Nobody will know until we start filing on Saturday.

Yup! Who the hell knows what this thing will be like. Hopefully it'll be drinkable.

Don't forget to get Kegger's address so you know where to show up Saturday, everyone!

hogie · Post by **hogie** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:00 pm

Just found out the hop order definitely won't arrive tomorrow (hasn't even shipped yet) so I won't be going over.

However, if you want my RIS, I have someone lined up and ready to take the keg to Halifax Saturday morning.

Post by **mr x** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:13 pm

No, that's OK. I'm grabbing RobD's tonight, so hang on to yours until next filling.

Are you really willing to miss the filling and the fruit beer festival just because the hops aren't in?

Does this accurately reflect our volumes? Making the assumption people will be bringing their beer to Kegger's in a corney keg.

1. X 2x19L kegs
2. Johnny 1 keg
3. BBB 1
4. Chalmers 1
5. Nick 2x19L kegs
6. Tim Gregory 1
7. Sandy 1
8. Jayme/Gavin 1
9. RobD in for Hogie 1

If so, that is 11x19L=209L=some unknown number of gallons, possibly greater than 55

Next Barrel List so far:

0. Hogie (this is how CS people start counting, right?)
1. Andy
2. Graham
3. LD
4. Cornelius Alphonse
5. Know1
6. Fishdisease
7. Dirt chicken
8. Maltster
9. Bluenose
10. Rubbertoe

Post by **mr x** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:27 pm

Nick only has 5 gallons IIRC.

Keggermeister · Post by **Keggermeister** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 7:53 pm

I have 10 gallons.... FTB!

I also have some in a keg, in case we need top up. If we have any left over we will gather it in that keg for the angels share.

Post by **mr x** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 8:03 pm

Whoops, my mistake. How about we put in five of everybody's, with RobD's last, and if we need more, we'll go with Nick's and my second kegs. Shouldn't need much 'angels share' for the timeframe we are talking about, but it will be good to have it just incase.

might also be nice to have pre vs post barrel comparison samples
