5G = five gallons. I’ve been enjoying the home brew on tap more than I anticipated. I figured it was going to be difficult to get through 5 gallons in a reasonable amount of time. As it turns out, it’s my go-to beer, so I’m kicking 2.t gallon kegs left and right. I did buy one 5-gallon keg a few months ago, but have been holding off until I could get the cooling kit for the new Anvil fermenter Eileen got me for my birthday. When the first Password Reset kicked, I decided go for 5 and just use the smaller chill kit from my small Anvil fermenter. It looks a little funny, but so far, so good. It actually chilled the new wort down to 68F in a few hours.
Jamil named this beer recipe Programmer’s Elbow because he was doing a big software project at the time. Password Reset honors that and also remembers the MyDelta support nightmare of 2019!
I was able to pick up some DME, hops and yeast from River Rock Brewing in Galt, and I had enough of the steeping grains to be able to brew today after only deciding yesterday to brew.
It’s a blat to brew 5 gallons again…especially knowing I don’t have to be shy with the tab handles in the future!
