Well we polished off 7 large bottles of different home-brews last night. I got to share a 2 year old lambic/ kriek. Boy was that good. Also some 6 month old Pale Ales… not a hint of off flavors or oxidation. Very nice to see.

I like the time together… Theres been too much emphasis on giving presents… For the youngsters… I’m for that… For us older peeps, we enjoy the time together visiting… turn off the phones, sit down just nibbling on some simple but good eats and talking… Sneezles61

Two of my 3 kids are home, the dogs are napping, house smells like cookies and the tree is surrounded by packages…I was told we were not over doing it this year but I’m starting to think I should have ignored that… Mrs Claus and I are starting to make dinner…no youngsters in the house since my youngest is 25 and we have no grand kids yet…just the grand pups.
Enjoy the holidays. Hope you’re spending them in the company of people you love and enjoy!

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays !
Just sampled the “Ordinary Bitter”. Came out great, have another batch of Kolsch in the primary for the younger son and ingredients for a Porter on the way for my older son. Need to retire to catch up on all the brewing.

I only use 2 taps on mine, but can store 4 kegs… Enough gas hookups to have them all carbing… I have 2 separate CO2 tanks… one for serving, the other for my brewery side… I just acquired another freezer I did a conversion and is fermenting its first batch of lager… Its tight, but 2 Anvil fermenters fit… I will drill some holes so I can put the blow off tube outside the chamber… It would easier to see it ferment…
My keezer has a 2x8 collar and the freeze-mentor has a 2x6 collar… Sneezles61

Gonna build a wooden collar next week. Got 4 tap faucets. And enough keg conectors. Only need a lager co2 block. Did ask my buddy to bring a 6 conector. So the idea 4 kegs. And one for carbonation do leave the co2 outside. The freezer came last night. Just did a test it fits easy 6 kegs. Gonna do 5. Need space for hops and yeast.
