tienbier time. Wow, that was fun. Fire, hot rocks, pokers, poles, and wort. What more could you ask for?
 |
| Blowing off the rocks with an air compressor |
 |
| Making sure the beer won’t taste like ash. |
 |
| Going from cold to steeping temperatures was going to take more day than we had… |
 |
| …so we called in the propane burner and eventually brought it up to almost boiling temperature. |
 |
| In goes some malt. It was supposed to be a 33# jerry can but the LHBS messed up. 10 cans, oh joy. |
 |
| In goes more malt. |
 |
| In goes more malt. |
 |
| In goes more malt. |
 |
| Carrying it all over to the fire. |
 |
| We placed it close to the fire to lessen the transport of hot rocks. |
 |
| Got to boiling quickly. |
 |
| Lots of blowing off ash. |
 |
| Hops time. |
 |
| Nice boil. |
 |
| More hops. |
 |
| More hops. |
 |
| Stir in the hops. |
 |
| Very nice boil. |
 |
| Almost boil over. |
 |
| Lots of splashing. |
 |
| ”I am a 10th level beer nerd.” |
 |
| ”Grab my poker please!” |
 |
| So many choices when a bunch of brewers and a 10th level beer snob come to the party. |
 |
| Close to finishing. |
 |
| Transferring wort to carboys. |
 |
| Carboys ready to be filled. |
 |
| ”I drink the beer that I brew.””No ,wait.” “I brew the beer that I drink.” “And I make my own cheese too.” |
 |
| Sumpfhaus Bruan ready to start fermenting. |

Anyone know of a better way to post here than the default they give you? It is HORRENDOUS!

Ug, editing is awful. I got the info up, not the way I wanted but at least it is up. There has got to be a better way.
