What are you brewing?

Edit to add question: How much bourbon did you put in?

I don't remember. I think I just put them in a tupperware and covered them. Due to time issues, they sat in the bourbon for a long time before they were dumped in the beer. When we dumped it into the secondary, I do remember that we dumped the cubes and the bourbon straight in.

Do you know what the recycling number on those Culligan bottles that you use are Tim? I know some of them are PET, but if it's something else I'd be careful. Beer is a whole lot different chemically than water, so the "if it's safe for water, it will be fine for beer" argument doesn't really hold much weight.

Those are the same thing as better bottles, just without the name attached. I have a few of them that I use as secondaries and have no complaints.


On a different note, brewed an IPA Friday with a mostly Golden Promise grist, along with a little munich and caramunich, hopped with Ahtanum, Citra, Amarillo, and Columbus.

They are the crappy bad for you ones, that is why I only use them once. Besides, what is a little cancer between friends.
I only use them when I need to age something, and usually nothing longer than about 3 months. I know about the risk, but I figure it is safe enough.

Just finished building my new brew kettle, but for some reason the RTD isn't reading right. :angry:

I've got a Hop Head Double IPA that's one week into fermenting and about ready for the secondary (and dry hop addition), then a Surly Furious Clone that I'll start this weekend. All good stuff!

I would drink anything you brew Justin. Im just a big lambic/sours fan. Your Bourbon Barrel Porter was delicious, Jeff (TheBlackCloud) cracked the bottle at our last tasting and let us partake....so good.

Brewing a Belgian table beer tomorrow, and a hoppy, American lager and kettle caramelized Scottish next Thursday.
