KNeace Official Brew Dude Brewmeister Registered: 06/16/09 Posts: 5534 Loc: Hoosierville	These are the three extract/steeping grain batches I got going last weekend. Got to try out the new full size fermentation fridge and get some batches going. Got an English Bitter, some of my Fat Liar and my Amarillo Wheat on the right. 3 batches for the effort of one. I did simultaneous boils on the stove and let them ferment together. I need to raise the temp to 70 and dry hop each batch for another 5 days or until I bottle. _________________________ Up Next: Fillin' Da Pipeline!

KNeace Official Brew Dude Brewmeister Registered: 06/16/09 Posts: 5534 Loc: Hoosierville	Yeah, the left is just a water jug that the distilled water came in that I used for the extracts. In fact, they are all water bottles, the other two are grade 3 like the Mr.Beer fermenters not the grade 7 plastic they usually are...the left one I don't know, it was just convienent and killed two birds with one stone. _________________________ Up Next: Fillin' Da Pipeline!

Lagerpmp Boilermaker Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 01/15/09 Posts: 707 Loc: Greenwood, IN	That's great, I don't think I've ever had three batches going at the same time. Do you normally use aluminum foil instead of an airlock? Or is that just something you switch to after fermentation has slowed down a bit? _________________________ Recent Batches: #41 Wet Dock Pale (AG) - 5 gal - 04/28/12 OG 1.057 #40 Hefeweizen (AG) - 5 gal - 03/31/12 #39 Cabin Fever Pale Ale (AG) - 5 gal - 02/26/12 #38 Patersbier (AG) - 5 gal - 01/29/12 #37 KingTripel (AG) - 3 gal - 01/16/12

KNeace Official Brew Dude Brewmeister Registered: 06/16/09 Posts: 5534 Loc: Hoosierville	I typcially use a single bucket fermenter with an air lock. I also usually use the middle jug with an air lock and a bung but the bucket had a batch going already so I just sanitized some foil and used that on all three openings. No different than using the lid on a Mr. Beer fermenter. It will let Co2 out while keeping anything from getting in. With the jugs I can see the ferementation, so I don't need to rely on the airlock bubbles to monitor activity. Oh yeah, that Amarillo Wheat is the Gumball Head like beer...it's much ligher than the picture looks, especially now after fermentation...more like 8 SRM than the 13 or so in the pic. _________________________ Up Next: Fillin' Da Pipeline!

natural320 ~~BOTM~~ Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 09/25/09 Posts: 2302 Loc: Warminster, PA	love the pic (and the resourcefulness!). great way to fill the pipeline in a hurry too. how long are you thinking these bad boys will need until drinking time? I'll play the home version (time is from brew day): GBH-4 weeks, Bitter-6 weeks, FL-8 weeks how'd I do? _________________________ Little Bastards Brewing Project - you can google me! drinking: Dunkle, LWW, Smicky's, hoppy wheat, Stupid Easy Cider conditioning: Keystone Common fermenting: Festbier V2

KNeace Official Brew Dude Brewmeister Registered: 06/16/09 Posts: 5534 Loc: Hoosierville	The wheat and the bitter are good beers while young...ill be drinking all three well before they are well conditioned but all should taste great with two weeks in the fidge after carbonating. _________________________ Up Next: Fillin' Da Pipeline!

Beklorn Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 09/28/10 Posts: 1050 Loc: Puyallup, WA	The one on the left is just a common water bottle with apull out dispenser cap, you should be able to find those in any larger grocery store, I'm still looking for larger water bottles for fermenting myself, but if it helps most office depot stores have a water bottle display my stores are currently all 7s _________________________ Warning to all: The longer the post the drunker I am

twiggy2cents Super cool! Active Member Registered: 12/31/11 Posts: 50 Loc: Monticello, IL	I have looked into #7 water bottles. #7 basically means "of no use for recycling" It doesnt mean it is bad.
