What are you drinking now?

On to my Spruce Brown, also at a week in bottles. This came out about as well as I could have hoped, especially for using spruce essence instead of actual spruce.

I'm bored. About to go back outside and do work around the back if the house. With beer, of course.

Peanut butter cup porter. Last one (pb porter) didn't have enough pb flavor, so hunted down pb extract last weekend to use when bottling. Changing the powdered pb additions as well.

And on to the extra bottle of my Lamebic (the extra 375 past the two cases of 750s I filled). Decided to break from style and carbonate the crap out of it (3.5 volumes), and it's downright spritzy. I'll be letting the other bottles sit for the indefinite future.

water right now. I might have my Meh Pils or something while I bottle my Strong Scotch Ale.

Eagle club...south minneapolis...bargo...don't judge
Mich golden was the safest

Using a jar of just great stuff pb powder @ 10 minutes remaining, one chocolate pb one at 5, and using one pb one for secondary with cacao nibs. Figure something had to change as last time it was 1 at start, 15 and 5, and got minimal pb taste. Not a bad porter, but not enough flavor.

So, I'm transferring my RIS to try and get more trub out before it goes into my barrel.

I bought the extract as well yesterday and it smells delicious. Got it along with a few others to toy with Skeeter Pee.

I couldn't find the extract anywhere until when I was forced to go out to dinner with swmbo's family. Found the LorAnn oil at an old 5/10 cent store that was a few doors down from the restaurant we went to.

Onto my burnt slim's graham cracker ale. Getting better with time, but still pissed at myself screwing it up.

Research

After staring at the cellar for four hours during the comp, decided to treat myself to a pour of Utopias. Not shabby. Like a good aged port.

Now back home, taxes. Yeah.

Yeah, no pb flavor at my lhbs, so using the LorAnn. Definitely gonna taste as I add when doing so to avoid overpowering.

Ok so I lied, this was calling my name

I gave up participating in Lent , for Lent. It's ok I am part Catholic here in the south they call me "Batholic" as I was raised in both the Baptist and Catholic church

That'd be kinda cheating for me, too, since I stopped drinking soda in the middle of January and haven't looked back.

Who does Uconn have next?

Watching UConn women vs. BYU right now. This game is too close for my liking.

The UConn men have MSU next. Tough task.

No matter what, I bleed blue!

Matilda Lambicus. Decent flavor but not as sour as I was hoping (and on the thin side.)

Apparently Remmy is atoning for mocking lent by suffering and watching women's basketball.

I can't do more yard work as it's raining now. And I stopped going to church when my parents could no longer make me. I'm a bad person, I guess. God bless my soul.

It's time for my 6th or 7th brew.

I agree. Its good but tastes so much like a tangerine or clementine.

Now GI Big John imperial stout. A little boozy, but very good.


I gave up bad beer for lent ... it's been tough but I'm making it. :fro:
