Perpetual ... amazingly they don't have Nugget Nectar on tap yet (too busy packaging for resale). Still this is FAR better than from the bottle)
Awesome! I will be heading their sometime in the next few weeks. My brother and his wife live about 10 minutes away from the brewery. He always raves about the scratch beers they put out. I have had a few and feel that some have been better than their regular lineup.
The bartender said they would have Nectar on tap in a couple weeks - along with Scatch #88; a chocolate stout. I'm going to have my MIL swing by and get some of that Scratch for me!
I literally have no words to describe this beer. I was concerned when I saw "Yams" on the label. But believe it or not I can actually taste the Yams. What an amazing beer. So so good.
Went back to craft brew shop, had to grab some more Bells Smitten.........pretty unique malty but still hoppy rye. Me likey

Brewed 11 gallons of Cream of 3 Crops, it was unseasonably cold in FL today (high of 70), so I overshot my volume by a whole gallon and overshot my OG by 8 points. I guess I had great efficiency with all of those adjuncts.
Luckily the groom was helping me all day (beer is for his wedding in mid march). Relaxing now with one of these
Btw, my buddy kicked my keg of Dude's Lakewalk Pale Ale.
I'm drinking a Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA, but that's not important right now. I need some advice, HBT. I just finished brewing my NHC DIPA and there was a problem. Brew day went awesome until pitching time. So I'm standing there about to cut open my packet of yeast. Yeast in one hand scissors in the other of which the tips have been sanitized. Through an unfortunate series of events I fumbled the scissors and plop, right in the fermenter. I immediately sanitized my entire arm and fished it out but the scissors were, for the most part, unsanitized. So my question is, what's the standard beer god offering in this situation?

jerryteague said:The unintentional mash time wouldn't have anything to do with the Road Glide in the background, would it? I don't blame you if it did. I'm having a Boddingtons, and a Milk Stout on deck.
I'd be amazed if you could infect a DIPA short of dumping a bag of Roeselare in it.
Had you just been cutting up raw chicken or something? If not, I bet your fine.
So was this because you had too many beers and were fumbly or not enough and shakey?

Sorry to hear that.
Best of luck. My grandfather died two years ago and we also knew there was no coming back. It's strange because you accept it, but also refuse to admit that it's happening. Cheers to your pop's great life and the end of his suffering.
