I absolutely love my wife, even though she hates beer....although I could be slowly turning her with my current batch of Saison; regardless, we have a tremendous relationship that is based on trust and respect, each of us bringing different aspects/personalities to the union. All that said, if...

Silvermoon, Hoptagon an Imperial IPA...very nice

Agreed...quite awesome indeed!

2nd on the coffee currently, but last night I explored a really nice Grand Cru from Green Flash brewing, nice maltiness, very tasty beer.

Typically 5 hours start to finish (AG) I might vary a bit depending on a 60min vs. 90min boil, but 5 hours is usually what I end up with.

I'll be tapping into "Mipa" a Marris Otter IPA that is heavily hopped with Centennial, Magnum, Amarillo and Cascade, coming in at a nice 6.7%

Ninkasi's, Imperial Stout

I tapped into my holiday seasonal, "Twisted Tidings" and I must say that after two pints I was quite warm and toasty.

Hhhhmmmm....kegged this up last night and while the cherry flavor is there, it really seemed to be missing the vanilla and cinnamon flavor (used 1 vanilla pod, squeezed out the guts and tossed in the chopped pod and three whole, broken into larg-ish bits, cinnamon sticks) It'll sit in the keg...

Deschutes Jubelale tonight....really enjoying this years batch

Took another sample last night as I was transferring to secondary and added the vanilla and cinnamon. The cherry flavor was slightly more pronounced, but the vanilla and cinnamon should mellow that.

I just took a sample this afternoon, and while it still has another week before adding the vanilla in secondary, I'm really impressed with the flavor, nicely balanced malt bill with a subtle, earthy cherry flavor that comes in at the end without being too sweet. Very excited for the finished...

Green Flash Brewing Hop Head Red IRA, good, but tomorrow will be my home-brewed IPA that I brewed for all the friends and family that are coming over! -Paul

I brewed this up on Saturday and it's currently burble-ing away in primary, I added the cherries and have a vanilla bean soaking in vodka for when I transfer to secondary. I'm pretty interested in how this one comes out, especially since I brewed it specifically for a keg swap in Jan. (at...

Also, when exactly did you add the vanilla, at primary or with the cinnamon during secondary? I would think that adding it during primary might be like adding hops during primary and that it could/would drive off some of the vanilla flavors.....but the bean pod and its contents are a solid???

Resurrecting an old thread, but curious how this turned out, did the vanilla ease off with the carbonation, did anybody add the cherries?? -Paul
