What are you drinking now?

Just finished a double brew day and finally relaxing with a sledgehammer.

Just finished up a BCBS clone attempt. 5.5 target for fermenter. 36.5 pound grain bill! The 15 gallon boilermaker could have taken a little more but I don't see me making many more 14%+ beers that often.

Damn! What do you mash in?

Anyone else noticing the pictures showing up twice? Or is it just me?

The new app on iPhone does that. TxBrew is aware and working with Tapatalk to fix it

What did you think of the bcbs? That looks like a hell of a batch of brew. Save me one of your clones when it's ready!

Ah okay. I haven't had any brew yet today so I ruled out just having one too many... Lol.

that doesn't make any sense. can you really use those words in that order?

My ~14% Apfelwein.

Water now. In the immortal words of Remmy, I'm smacked! And I have to work tomorrow.

Tomasello Blueberry wine. Awesome stuff. Maybe my favorate of the few blueberry wines Ive tried so far.

Brooklyn lager.

This one shocked me. I normally drink IPAs and can't stand most lagers. I picked up a Brooklyn sampler to appease some of my Christmas guests who don't care for hoppy beers. When I tasted this, I couldn't believe it was a lager. This is a really good beer and I will definitely buy it again.

Stegmaier porter... Can anyone figure out this caps riddle??

I thought it sounded alright. But then again, I did just guzzle a bcbs so maybe it is just jibberish. Like you always say..I just don't give a flock son....

Don't know what the middle symbol is on the bottom. But my guess is " no place to go but up" or no place to light up?

I will send them out when ready!

Another HBT member is brewing the other 5.5 for the 10 gallon bourbon barrel. We will brew another 11 gallons to blend back onto the original 10 gallons since it will be pretty bourbon forward from the small barrel. Should have a fine brew in the end.

Not too into it and one of the few of my least favorates from New Glarus. Not a bad follow up though from a little bit of blueberry wine. Almost a light beer as a belgian style. It would be funky if they canned this and the kind that would do well in one. Its kinda like a fruiter/estery version of a stella. Pretty damn clean in taste for a belgian style. Has a clovey finish I dont care for thats about all I dont like about it. Nice aroma and clean taste though.

Nice. I'm buzzed and am having a coffee before bed.

My Smoked Black Saison.

the answer to the cap riddle is "No place to go but up."

drinking my first Duvel Belgian Golden Ale, it's really good! I like the big stream of carbonation, from the etched glass.

Victory Dirt Wolf...

Started off with a Celebration, then had a Two Hearted, and now enjoying some Sucks. Was happy I was able to pick up a few bombers of Victory At Sea to sit on for a bit. May have to go back and grab more on payday...

What do you use as a mash tun for that grain bill?

My "Jolly Holly Ale" which is nearly the Holly Ale found on this site. I think I need more critiques because the only critique I've had was that it has a bite. This is from someone who doesn't like hoppy beers. Anyway, spices are definitely there. Not sure about the bite.



Also, my oak, vanilla, and bourbon all soaking for the next week to add to my porter.

Now for a lil of this.. and oh man. Not what.I expected. But an awesome session beer

Unless it's a 20 gallon batch, that might be a bit much. Oak chips suck, for future reference.

Uinta Detour Double IPA

More Saga ( Its a kinda beer that makes me love beer). Top 5 midwest ipa for me. Whilst thinning the herd of my beer fridge, down to about 7 six packs of nothing more than 1-3 each of various differnt beers. Nothing to drink. Nothing to drink. Need to start putting some of my homebrews in there. Couple of each batch, gotta make shure none are doing anything weird like overcarbing. More research and development in the time being. And a good time that is, aint nothin like a good time. And it dont get better than this..

It's Jack Daniels Winter Jack. It's a cider. Very sweet (about 14%) which is like a wine. It's good but, when I think Jack Daniels, I think harsh and strong. This is mild and sweet...which is nice.

Hadn't hear of it so I looked it up, they suggest drinking it warmed.
Getting Walloped!

7 month old bottle of two roads road 2 ruin that I totally forgot in my beer fridge. I gotta say it still tastes pretty good. I would love to try this fresh.
