Beer's ready to rack

nobody@ipernity.com (Jim O'Neil) — Wed, 26 Dec 2018 21:46:32 +0000

Saturday I racked (kegged) 12 gallons (45 liters) of beer, my White Night's Stout, I'd been brewing.

The kegs are sterilized and ready to fill.

Here's siphoning it out of the fermenter.

This is about 8 gallons (30 liters) of instant beer, my White Nights Stout.

Just add hops, water, heat, yeast, and about two weeks time and it's ready to drink!

Yes, yesterday was brew day and here's the grain ready to be milled. Behind it is my mill, I made the large wood pulley to drive it.

Yesterday was brew day.

Some years back I got tired of turning the crank on my grain mill so I motorized it.

To do so I needed a rather large pulley, some 2 feet ( around 61 cm.) in diameter.

OK, OK I could have bought one but it was more interesting to make my own pulley out of wood and it worked just fine over the years.

Brewing a porter the day before yesterday.

Hum, Ipernity's acting a bit squirrely, it locks up when I try to load more than one picture in a batch.

I brewed a batch of my White Nights Stout 2 weeks ago. It't now finished fermenting and in the kegs. It will be ready to drink in another week.

8-10 years ago I built a 2 tap kegalator to keep cool and serve the beer that I brew. Alas the mini-fridge that I built it around died. Subsequently I bought this new mini-fridge and modified it to accept my kegs and disperse my beer. This new one will only hold one keg but I can live with that.

The hardest part of the project is finding the spot where I can drill the hole to let the hoses out without cutting any of the fridge's cooling coils.

Here the project is finished, leveled and cooling a keg of my White Nights Stout.

The koji is in the fermenter, the steamed rice is cooling. When it's cooler that 30° C., into the fermenter with it, add the yeast and wait for the sake!

This is a shot from yesterday, Sunday, Brewday.

This is the mash, the malted barley held at a temperature of around 145° F. for an hour to convert the starches in to sugars.

In about a week now, it will be beer ready to bottle or keg, 6 gallons of my White Nights Stout.
