I have 10 gallons more of sour that will eventually need bottles. Only going to bottle one before the move I think though. The other one is newer though so may take some time. Hopeful that I only am moving 1 carboy of beer.

What are you typically seeing as your FG? I mashed at 154 and am expecting something around 1.006-1.008, but that's really just a guess
It should hit 1.008 pretty easily and then after that it drops really slowly. If you are bottling, I've seen that you want to wait until 1.008 or less to bottle to avoid bottle bombs.

Looking for some 22oz bombers. Where do y'all normally order them from?
Go to Target, get out your Red Card, and buy all the Sierra Nevada Torpedo 24oz bottles you can get.

It's going in a keg. I checked last night and it's down to 1.020 or so. I think this weekend I'll hit it with dry hops, bump up the temp a touch, and keg it next weekend. I want that freshness. Hydro samples are tasting awesome without any dry hops.
My no-boil experiment is still an experiment at this stage. The bad smell is lessening and the sacch and brett are starting to do their work on it. I think I'm getting some scrubbing action, but I'
m doubtful I'll get enough scrubbing to completely erase the bad smell. We'll see, though.

Well, I have 3 on tap right now, so I may as well. It helps that they only need 2 bottles of each. Kegging the 4th this weekend.

I need to do the same thing. Trying to decide what to send.
Posted on 1/16/15 at 9:04 am to Fratastic423
I think I'm sending 2 or 3.
I was planning on sending a 4th, but ran out of time. I really didn't expect the submission date to be a month in advance of the competition.

What styles are they taking at that competition?
I haven't been able to brew much lately, but if IPA is one of them, I can submit at least one beer.

Sweet, looks like I'll be able to enter one.
Posted on 1/16/15 at 9:08 am to LSUGrad00
You think they'd take a Smoked/Lime Gose called Dirty Sanchez?

A gose just a berliner weisse with salt & coriander, sounds like a spice beer to me...

Give it time, you would be amazed at the list of nasty compounds that Brett can breakdown when given enough time.

I'm going to brew a Fortunate Island inspired 100% brett wheat ale this weekend. I still haven't gotten my pound of Citra in the mail so this might be all Simcoe.

The Bruery is holding a homebrew competition and the winning beer will be recreated in our brewhouse and distributed for all to enjoy!....
The beer will be entered into the 2015 Great American Beer Festival as a Pro/Am entry* and may even be distributed on a national level! And of course, the winner will be invited to The Bruery to help us replicate their award winning homebrew!
*if brewed before the competition beer deadline in August

Always thought it would be awesome to win a GABF pro-am competition.
Knowing the Bruery, bonus points will be given for funky ingredients, inducing diabetus in the judges, and accidentally souring the entries during bottling.
