So i’ve been collecting some new brew gear, some of my new toys are:
- A Propane Heater
- Home Made Wort Chiller - These are directions I followed, I have to say that copper is much more expensive now. I ended up getting a wholesale price on 50 feet for $25.
- I bought a new book Homebrew Favorites – 240 Beer and Ale Recipes
- I won a Beer Bug which I don’t have quite yet.
- and i may have bought another carboy.
- Oh, and don’t forget the kegerator.
Last night we (@leftmostcat and i) put together a Coffee Stout entitled “Black Cat Stout.” It called for two packets of yeast, and because I’ve recently decided that I don’t trust my plastic bucket for fermentation i’m doing primary in a 5 gallon carboy. I should have known that this batch was going to be pretty active and so I’ve had some fun times cleaning up from a blow off. I’m hoping that this batch will be the first home brew to grace the kegerator.
