modest imperfection – Of a Peculiar Character

Still have a few pours of the Burton Ale left on the other tap and a new beer going on tap soon.

Random thoughts from my home brewery from this past week.

Rye bitter is kegged. Burton ale is racked into a fresh vessel. Just need to clean draft lines and used vessel, then done.

Dropped off comp bottles, picked up supplies. Now grabbing quick lunch before home to keg then rack.

List of chores in home brewery today: drop off bottles for comp, pick up supplies, keg rye bitter, rack Burton ale.

Nothing like waking to see a thick, healthy krausen on the beer I made yesterday. No blow off, either, despite very full vessel.

So glad I got the pumps, chiller and hop rocket dialed in and humming today.

Volume was so large, was fighting boil over during a good portion of the boil.

Also got a solid cold break, too. This was during recirculation from the plate chiller.

Got a decent hot break during today’s brew day.
