Brewing rarely and bottling a lot these last weeks. Today 270 bottles of 10% strawberry balvenie barleywine. This. Is. A. Lot. Of. Work. Next week my labels should arrive, so then I will have to manually label about 2000bottles and make up a Webshop. 😬🙏🍻I won’t run out of work. #bottling #bottlingday #bottlinghomebrew #barleywine #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewingexperience #homebrewfanatic #homebrewery #homebrewersofinstagram #homebrewernight #bier #schweizerbier #schweizerbierkultur #schweizercraftbeer #schweizercraftbier #swisscraftbeer #ensiechvollarbeit (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDryPSxJWjF/?igshid=1wmn81pns4nf4

Dealing with fruit mush... as you can see the strawberrymush is at the Exit of the fermenter, so I made an improvised mesh filter bag and pumped it to the stainless, where I leave it for some days at 16degrees so it settles again so I can bottle. Worked fine. #fruitbeer #fruitbeers #fruitbeer🍻 #fruitbeerlover #strawberrybeer #barleywine #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewingexperience #beertransfer (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmZtcNpOQr/?igshid=12ou6ye8f4ary

Took out some kilos of floating strawberry vanilla mush of the barleywine. After about 3 months it is more or less where i want it. Little strawberry taste for those 20kg/ 90l that I put in. But the oak is nicely perceptible and with the vanilla I think this will be a pleasant beer. Will be bottled soon. #barleywine #barleywineislife #barleywineale #barleywinebeer #strawberrybarleywine #barreledbarleywine #balvenie #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewingexperience #homebrewbeer (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDjqHl-pkSA/?igshid=1x7uhk1uiifg

Had a visit from @bierwerkstatt_nordsud today. Richie makes wonderful beers and is full with great information for a Greenhorn like me... i made a stout, a new recipe, got more liters that calculated, so I will end up at about 6.5%. Nice oxygen foamy wort in the tank. First time I used the chiller and inkbird, worked plug and play. Recipe in the last images. #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewingexperience #homebrewingonly #homebrewingstories #homebrewstout #stout #stoutbeers #stoutbeerlover #cherrystout #speideltank #swisscraftbeer #schweizerbierkultur #schweizerbier (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6akLtp1gC/?igshid=iu8hvbezf0ag

Homemade mango NEIPA 6.5%. 3weeks after coldness. In my opinion lives up to any hype NEIPA outthere. Tropical stonefruits smooth. But has a flaw: much trub. Have to let a Finger high in the bottle. Next time: hoopstopper or some kind of a filter before bottling. #homebrew #homebrewing #neipa #neipas #mangoneipa #azacca #cashmere #cashmerehops #citra #chillout #nofilter (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCyi-5xp-ts/?igshid=14pre1ovjcfmv

Bottled 90l of 10.5% imp. Lagavulin vanilla ba coffee stout. Smells crazy good 😋 spontaneously made 4 bottled with a 50:50 mixture strawberry barley wine and stout. They are both ready to bottle and have the same yeast. #stout #stoutbeer #impstout #imperialstout #coffeestout #coffeestouts #barrelagedstout #barrelagedstouts #whiskystout #lagavulinstout #lagavulinbeer #bottling #bottlingday #bottlinghomebrew #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewingexperience #homebrewingonly #homebrewfanatic #homebrewstout (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwgrhmpzs5/?igshid=ag8hjqzx6490

Firstpour of the raspberry rooibos Belgian. Beautiful colour, intense raspberry nose and aroma, bitter punch, nice acidity and a more decent rooibos backbone. Little foam, nice lacing. Love it. Perfect summer beer. #nofilter #firstpour #firstpourbeers #raspberrybeer #fruitbeer #fruitbeers #fruitbeer🍻 #rooibos #rooibosbeer #belgianbeer #belgianfruitbeer #raspberry #summerbeer (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjC_JvpnEu/?igshid=6gs76q6zarhx

Finally bottled 100l of my raspberry cacao rauchbier. Is 3hours a lot to bottle that amount? #bottling #bottlingday #bottlinghomebrew #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewingexperience #homebrewingonly #picobrew #rauchbier #fruitbeer #speidelsbraumeister #speideltank (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CChOZHcpXih/?igshid=ag7q019wb68x

Yesterday’s recipe. As you can see, some hops were involved. Sort of an ipa‘ish belgian‘ish fruit ale. I was in #zermatt on the weekend and got 20kg of fresh local apricots that will go in after first violent fermentation is done. #zermattswitzerland #wallis #walliseraprikosen #aprikosenbier #apricotbeer #belgianbeer #belgianipa #fruitbeer #fruitbeers #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewfanatic #brewtools #brewtoolsb150pro #brewfatherapp #brewfather #picobrew (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCYMnw1JW4N/?igshid=1dbh4out5xfru

Almost catastrophic end of an otherwise very calm brewday today. The tank crushed the crate and fell, 110l of beer in fragile balance... I was very very lucky. Nothing was spilt. #homebrewingdisaster #brewmess #luckyme #brewingaccident #homebrewingaccident (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWkI9oFdFt/?igshid=ixotbs7ckj6x

#firstpour of the mango NEIPA, finished at 6%, looks like it should, carbonation is perfect, aroma nice, but has more bitterness than intended. I think only with water adjustments I could make a nice soft mouthfeel. It has enough body. Look at all that floating debris in the second image. Time to coldcrash.... #mangoneipa #neipa #newenglandipa #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewingbeer #brewtools (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCELtkOpHyj/?igshid=1mfbpfc6r79w5

Watch the color of the raspberry rooibos after taking out both 😍and it tastes just like it looks. Indulgent tart raspberry with rooibos. Will be ready for bottling after settling again. I took out the swimming material to prevent clogging when bottling. The sunken stuff usually does not matter. #fruitbeer #raspberrybeer #rooibos #rooibosbeer #belgianbeer #safalebe256 #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewingexperience #homebrewingonly #homebrewery #homebrewstories #picobrew #picobrewery #nofilter #nofilterneeded #schweizerbier #schweizerbierkultur #shrinkbrew #crazybeer #crazybeers #beeradventures (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBwGAGDJ8SZ/?igshid=5u4v20ftvvpm

Bottling takes much longer with 100l than with 20l 😬bottled 216 bottles and an 18l keg of my mango neipa. Took me 3hours, incl cleanup. Tastes promising. And prepared the recipes and got the materials for my next 4 brews on the big system. All classics that scored in competition. Next step: labels. Sell. #bottling #bottlingday #bottlinghomebrew #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewingexperience #homebrewfanatic #homebrewingonly #picobrew #picobrewery (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBtzbhQpqKS/?igshid=6ca523jnc15m

I had my last 5 batches tested, so I can make legally correct labels. What can I say. There’s some serious beers incoming. 😂🍻 I am pretty happy with the results. Apart from the rauchbier, that went way to high. But those numbers give an idea of where you end up with the bt150 and about 100l of bottled beer if ou Max out mash capability. #brewtools #brewtoolsb150pro #homebrewnumbers #strongbeer #strongbeers #stout #barleywine #saisonbeer #rauchbeer #rauchbier #belgiantriple #shrinkbrew (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBSRzwPpkI-/?igshid=1kz6iu52tvfk1

Recipe: mango neipa 5.5%. Had a nice brewday. Start 8.10am- end 15.00, incl cleaning. Little malt pipe flow possible (15% open towards malt pipe) probably because of the amount of oats. And Brewtools advised me to not stir when mashing in. To keep the slimy proteins in the grain. Will try that next time. But efficiency was fine, undershot gravity but had 10l more, so that still is about 70% efficiency. First time I used those fruit purée, smelled delicious and is quite expensive. Added at flameout. I copied mashschedule and fruit addition from diy dog recipes. Always nice to look how they do it. #diydog #diybrewdog #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewingexperience #homebrewingonly #homebrewfanatic #homebrewer #homebrewery #mangoneipa #neipa #newenglandipa #swisscraftbeer #lallemand #lallemandbrewing #lallemandyeast #lallemandnewengland #brewtools #brewtoolsb150pro #brewfatherapp #brewfather (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOhMTMp1ta/?igshid=p1cfpxz5ld5u
