Dry January over. Been waiting for this Eraclea pilsner. CO2 needs to dissolve a bit more into the beer for crispness, but happy with the results.

Just wait until they hear about fruited sour slushy beers...

Been a minute since I've had time to brew but got it done today with a small batch pilsner. Used Weyermann Eraclea for the first time. Have heard good things about it. Mount Hood and Hallertau Mittelfruh hops and S-23.

HB smoked porter. Made it for my family members 65th birthday. About 35% grain bill is smoked malt, so definitely smokey. For me color could be better, but taste it great. Cheers

Thirded for Dovetail (if you're into more traditional euro style beers) and Hop Butcher (if you like IPAs, especially of the hazy variety). Also agree that Off Color is good but it depend what you like. They make a lot of interesting things that you don't see anywhere else. Maplewood, Half Acre...

Pulled a sample of my second attempt at a hazy, looking good so far. Then went to get, and put together, my next investment.. a kegerator. Got a great deal on a new one due to some “scratches and dents”. Looking forward to trying it out

HB hazy post wedding. Turned out pretty good

Hi all, Thanks for all the great info and tips shared here. I’ve been into home brewing for a couple years now and just started all-grain brewing. My sister asked me to brew a beer for her wedding and her fiancé requested a hazy IPA. Pretty tricky style to try with just my second all-grain...
