Brewday 06-02-10: Can't Beata This Either

[evanvine]

And I never put my beer in the fridge.

Somebody else with, to my mind, good taste.
I always drink my beer at "utility end of the kitchen" temperature.
A little less than room temperature.

In my house, I usually spend 9 months of the year trying to warm the beer up! (No heating).

I do so love a good sob story! (unsympathetic grin)

That wasn't a complaint! Saves me a fortune in gas.

You've been an gone an spoilt it!
There was me thinking your winter fuel allowance didn't cover it. (evil wicked grin)

What is that on the wall in the 5th pic?

I can see the HLT, on the wall behind looks to be a pump- the black square with two clear pipes and a yellow one. The yellow pipe looks like it goes into a pneumatic regulator. Do you have air pumps?

 

[jamesb]

Yes, I use flojet pumps.

Which ones? The G55's are only rated to 49C

 

[jamesb]

G56 I think.

I know I'm using them over-temperature, but they work fine up to 80 degrees. I used them on the recommendation from Oggy's Bar. I think they're ace.

Cheap as well.

Popped the seal on this one tonight. No pics because it's cloudy, i had to move the keg. It's lovely. If anything, i may try and make it a bit dryer next time. It's really bitter - spot on for my taste. Just enough body, aroma acceptable for a force carbonated beer and for these hops.

I just hope I can get more of these hops next harvest.
