What are you doing with homebrew today?

[TerryDowning]

kegged my Vienna Lager last night. Cold crashing and adding gelatin today.

Took a sample of the Cream Ale I brewed for an upcoming club competition., very tasty sample, going to let it sit on the yeast (K97) another week, although I suspect it is done, the competition isn't for another month so there is time to let it sit both in primary and eventually a bright tank to let it clarify and condition.

I bought apple juice to put on the 2nd saison trub.
I got a craving for cider

Kegged Batch # 100; Wayner's Pale Ale! Aroma is awesome. Taste should be the same once it's carbonated.

Well tapped my Maiboch a couple days early

harvested the first 2025 Cascade hops; a small ziplock full were ready, left some on the bines. Only 3 of 18 were over 12’ and producing but I’ve never harvested anywhere near this early. I expect the 3 bines are 1-2 weeks from ready for harvest. It’s not even May yet! The remaining bines are still trying.

I bought 6x Cashmere rhizomes, planted them Sunday. All 6 have broken the soil.
Unfortunately, the Triumph rhizomes i thought were dead, pushed up week 3 of April, a full 10 weeks later than the cascade. I had to relocate them.

Kegged Saison 2 and poured apple juice on the trub. Oxebar is sucking CO2 at the moment.
We wait again ...

That was my first thought! With your warmer climate are you able to harvest multiple times per year?

IDK. Even with an early crop, I’m always finding they come in a different times. Unfortunately, by the time I get the first batch, the bine is already being climbed with new bines, so I can’t practically cut down the first one - which would probably help.

I only got a handful and left 3-4x more on the bines for not being ready.

I guess this year is a good year to find out !

Beers taste good. The better half helped me transfer both to serving kegs and clean out the fermenters. I'll be drinking the Citra pale ale tonight. The kolsch needs time to condition

If she is helping to transfer and clean out fermenters, you better marry her sooner rather than later LOL.
