And today's brew is the "Storm the Bastille" kit from Northern Brewer on to the trub from the black saison. It's a production line now.....

I finally got around to kegging the two beers I had fermenting today. The Mammoth lager was a pain since it was fermented under pressure. It took about a half hour (maybe longer) to fill the keg. But I am drinking a glass already, so there is an upside.

Ooh, A big beer! Right up my alley. The Mammoth lager I just kegged is 10% abv.

So I had kind of forgotten all the mess and hassle of a really big beer - the cleanup was special - but it's in the fermenter, the black saison is actually pretty nice given it was 7 days old and I'm expecting a volcano of yeast tomorrow morning......best case scenario is a slower startup but there was at least a pound of yeast slurry in there when I dropped it in....

I no longer have to deal with volcanic yeast eruptions since my fermenters (2 Speidels, All-rounder, and 10 gallon torpedo) have ample head space. It's never an issue anymore.

Looking to make an IPA this weekend. I killed a keg last week.

Just kegged an IPA and a rye doppelbock. German pils up next.
