What are you doing with homebrew today?

I’m with you and my wife. Janet’s Brown isn’t going anywhere. Maybe I could consider my brown ale as practice for the more established and esteemed Janet’s Brown. Now I just have to figure out my brewing salts.

Don't sell yourself short Herm. If you enjoy them, they are great beers. Hell almost all of mine are a continual "work in progress".

Hop addition by the bucket…
 
Brewed my kitchen sink stout today. Efficiency was much higher than expected, so I guess I’ll have a stronger beer. Trying no chill this time since I’m feeling lazy, and it’s eco friendly.
 
Interesting I opted for Nottingham on its better attenuation over Windsor thinking it might leave too much residual sugar behind.
But I've not used either yeast so take with a grain of malt.
@Bulin's Milker Bucket Brews @Trialben oddly even though Windsor doesn’t attenuate as well the beers didn’t taste under-attenuated. At least when I’ve used it.
 
Kegged the ESB. Got a nice pint sample for this evening, it’s in the fridge now. Put the keg in my garage since it’s about 50 degrees in there and 40s at night. Should be perfect cellar temp. Buddy has the keg with an English Porter fermenting and it hit the predicted FG today and pressure has build up nicely since yesterday morning.
 
@Sunfire96 i have this one and like ithttps://www.williamsbrewing.com/Hom...zilla-Fermenters/FermZilla-Spunding-Valve-Kit

today I ordered a “creamer faucet” @Minbari photo made it happen. I got the cheaper CM Becker one @Sunfire96 posted.
Nice I like how compact that valve is. I might want something that goes over 15 psi...not sure yet. I hope you like the faucet! Apparently they're pretty resilient and easy to rebuild/replace small parts if needed, plus it comes with a 2 year warranty

You can change out the little pressure gauge to different one if you wanna spund higher.
Just my 2c I don't pressure ferment over 15psi much.

it works fine using the plastic pressure valve it just turns, the metal ones are a pain
