OK,
I just had my brother-in-law buy me a westmalle triple and a souther tier backburner barleywine... both in th 10 abv range (9.5 and 10 respectively)
both 22 oz's (ish)
The trapist has some character that i did not think a highly acclaimed beer (other than a bel) would have..
Often...
I know that's an unordinary term to explain flavor...
I think that it may be suspended yeast or something...
It may be lme twang.. I don't know the best way to term it.. it like a....
rear tongue linger. Kind of a mouthy feel with luga luga luga!!!
Here are some pics of our (me and Dante') double brew day on new years evening...
2 up to bat...
same pic later in....
Keepin it at steeping temps...
Lefe Blonde in HBT Glass..
I just cracked my first honey brown... best beer to date!!!
Could it be possible to use sodium bicarbonate to carbonate beer instantly?
ahem... if it is I want a patent... hehehe
does alkaseltzer come asprin free?
maybe we need to test...
man I'm crazy..
I don't use hydrometer readings...
just let it clear as per the 1 2 3 method and yuo'll be golden...
***BTW 1 2 3 is a minimum for clearing.. if it needs finishing let her cook....
just keep light out of the carboy and keep the airlock full... oh yeah do the obligatory sniff-sniff...
chill haze all through my beer.
my latest brews dont seem so clear.
lookin funny and I don't know why.
cuse' me while I drink whiskey rhy.
chill haze can be found.
In the latest brews in house.
wantin' clarity from my brews.
before I go and buy gray goose...
One kit I did said to boil it for 15 mins to clear out any yuckies,,,
But we added it at the last minute.....
just seemed to be a better idea.
I cracked a young one open...... and it is perhaps the best beer to date....
They have higher prices and less inventory.. but are always open..
ej has fewer hours but better pricing.. neither are geat on prices but he has to pay for a store-front so that's cool...
EJ realy has a great hop selection and yeast for a smaller shop...
Just wondering.
the last few brews we did we simply tossed the hops in at their respective time.. say 45 mins and 15 mins...
should I bag em'
I understand that utilization will be best if the're tossed in but it seems that it'll throw the expected ibu off.
Our last honey-b clone is a bit...
