LordEoin Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 is it ok in a ziplock bag in the fridge for a week, or should I just go for a double brew day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewtownClown Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 It will be fine. Anytyhing that grows on the top (unlikely) can be scraped off. If you are overly paranoid, float some vodka on top of the extract. Good excuse to put two brews down, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEoin Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yeah, screw it... I'll just put them both on. I suppose I'll need to empty a few more bottles now [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordEoin Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 I know Ned, but it was half 2 in the morning. Done now though. 40 pints of Saison, 40 pints of Fruit Salad. They'll be perfect for spring/early summer [biggrin] Edit: Ah balls... now I need to buy another FV for priming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamH1525226084 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 brewing at 2 in the morning? Had you lost track of time while playing with your sponge perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEoin Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 I think Otto is Kelsey. I'm Eoin. A hint to remembering my name is that it is written next to all of my posts[biggrin] [biggrin] (although I'm after getting used to 'the good lord'. Maybe I should make myself a crown..[wink] ) SWMBO infected my sponge actually... It was like finding my dog dead [crying] I had it for months, then as soon as I post how much I love it she goes and ruins it. I think she got jealous...[annoyed] But it's ok, I got an even better one.[biggrin] If you like my sponge as much as I do, maybe i'll post a pic of the new one for you some day! [lol] (maybe.[pouty]) And she knows where it will be shoved if this one gets mistreated[innocent] And yes, I always brew late at night. I finished work at 11, got home for 12ish, had something to eat and start brewing some time about 1. This is my new fridge and STC1000's first run (although it's been tested with an FV of water for the past week) so I had to get things organised which added more time. Added to the fact that I had ALL of my gear on its biannual big sterilize... Also, both brews have carapils steeps in them, and if I had known I was doing both I could have done all the carapils together but instead had to do 2 batches, adding another 30 mintes to proceedings.[pinched] It was a busy night and didn't finish the second batch til 3:30[sleeping] , but so worth it when I opened the door tonight and was greeted by the smell of belgian yeast and american hops[love][love] Maybe I'll use that combination in the next brew...

Guest Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Good Lord.. I use a new sponge every time I clean my gear [innocent] Special ones from the brew store, you get them free with every purchase over $50 and there is 10 to a pack. IMO, it's not worth the effort to clean and sanitise the sponge as well as all the brew gear. Understand completely that what works for me isnt best for everyone though [biggrin] Nice one on the Double day.. huge effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordEoin Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 Ned - If I'm ever around your area, be sure I'll help you empty some bottles. Just south of Kiama, right? I love that spot. Lotm - You won't regret it. Give it a name. [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
