It’s going to be a busy beer day for me. First up, bottling 5 gallons of cider and 5 gallons of the Chocolate Coffee Stout. Next up, I have to keg the 20 gallons I brewed 2 weeks ago. I need to get them on gas ASAP since I am bringing them with us on our Thanksgiving/fishing trip on Wed.
I almost want to brew this weekend but the idea of leaving beer to ferment while I am away is not appealing. I have had things go wrong before and it’s just not worth the risk.
Happy Brewing everyone!
Cheers,

Yep! You are going to be very busy.
I do not like to start a brew or a cider when I know I will not be around to watch it. Like a need to put a blow off tube on a vigorous ferment. I totally did not expect to have to put a blow off tube on the 5 gallon batch of cider I made on Tuesday, but I welcomed the healthy ferment. By the way, it is still fermenting nicely today, although just a little slower. I still have the blow off tube on and it would be very difficult to count the bubbles per min.
