    So who's brewing this weekend?

    I’m in! Going to make an ipa with some New Zealand hops purchased through the forum.

    Sorry about your Bills! But I was in attendance for my Detroit Lions victory earlier in the day!

    It occurred to me as I was putting the labels on that I didn’t include the ABV…. It’s 10.2%. The label was a bing AI image generator product - it’s either Dutch or gibberish - since I don’t speak Dutch I wasn’t sure - but I liked the look overall so I went with it. Glad you enjoyed it.

    The honey was very forward and the ginger comes through at the end. I didn’t get any noticeable bitterness, well balanced and enjoyable.

    I’m a day behind so just getting to the spiced stout. Pours a deep black / brown with a thick brown head. Get hints of cinnamon and lots of black licorice (assume from the star anise). An enjoyable beer!

    Enjoying @mjdonnelly68 ’s single tonight. Agree with the previous post, get the spices upfront along with a dark fruit (raisin) - love the color and carbonation is spot on. I gotta say - with 4 of the 12 revealed at this point - I’m a bit nervous when mine comes up. Cheers all!

    Received the gruit today - I think that makes a complete set for me. Looking forward to enjoying the rest.

    Had the Junioer Rye Bock tonight. The rye really shines (like others that have posted I really like rye, in all forms). I get a dark berry or fruit flavor almost like raisins, I’m suspecting that’s the juniper berry. Really nice beer. Enjoying this a lot tonight.

    That’s the IPA - modeled after Double Hearted from Bell’s. Congrats to your Son. I was both flattered and frightened when he asked me to brew the beer for the wedding - fortunately it went off without issue.

    I had to catch up last night - had the Abbey Weizen and the Cherry Dubbel. I’m not very good with tasting notes, but I’ll say both were very good beers. The abbey had hints of lemon peel and a bit of saison like funk, which I really enjoyed. My son who is not a craft beer guy also enjoyed...

    These beers were from my Son’s Wedding - k&H are the initials of the couple. The beer should have a beer type checked on the side (if I labeled them correctly). I did 5 different beers for the wedding - they were the only beers I had available to include as extras, as I spent most of the...
