What are you drinking now?

Thank you keywestbrewing for this one!!

My Hoodsie Bock, first beer I bottled from my keg using the BierMuncher Approach. Perfectly kept carbonation, no oxidation even with more headspace than I wanted.

Is it that hard to move the glass away from the faucet at the end of the pour? You know you're a beer snob when you complain about getting too much beer in your glass, but it drives me crazy.

Can't wait to try Pacifica - NZ Hallertau, right? I brewed my first beer with Motueka and the hop is exactly what you'd expect for a NZ super Saaz.

Motueka is awesome. One of my favorite hops. I dry hopped my NHC DIPA with 2 oz of it along with 2 oz of Nelson.

I have a great local watering hole, but the poor girls there don't know how to pour a pint to save their lives and I think their setup needs a little work as well. Standard operating procedure for them is keeping a spoon near the bar, and as they are pouring they are spooning foam off of the beer. It takes about 5 minutes to get a beer, but they have 14 taps!

My Imperial Red

Just got some Sam Adams 48 latitude IPA and I love the hop flavor and aroma

I'm a Nelson junky and I bet that combo is great. Better be online at 3 sharp if you want to enter. Direct links for each region to avoid the ticketing snafu.

You're late. Where ya been?

My American Lager. It was coming out a bit foamy today, I think because it got warmer outside where I keep the keg. I'll have to start putting ice bottles in the cooler to keep it colder as it gets warm out.

TNGabe said:

Don't you have a can you can drink that out of?

Click to expand...

Yeah, but it's like 5 gallons and hooked up to a tank of liquid gas, kinda hard to go bottoms up.

Well, I didn't wake up this morning in a cell in Baltimore, so I think I did ok.

I'm guessing the bartender they hired is used to pouring BMC for those chuckleheads who get all pissy when there's head.

Oh I plan on being online at 2:50 ready to go. I've got seven beers to register so it's going to take a bit to get them all in and paid for.

Ruination. Last of the four pack .

Should I purge the keg before drilling?

Dont know about you but I was bout to ramp up mine 50 psi and shake for 20 min then purge my faceoff.
Plus its coooool to pee yo pants. Adam Sandler quoted it better. What are you looking at Schwann?

Just tapped the keg of an experimental Pale ale... I call it, "Magnum PA". Magnum hops were the bittering and I used Chinook for the late additions and dry hop. Its not bad, but it would be better with Cascade rather than Chinook. Also, I think I underpitched my recycled yeast cuz its really sweet and my FG was something like 1.024... should've been 1.016 I think. Oh well, will brew it again this weekend with a fresh smack pack and switch to Cascades and see what that tastes like. It was an experiment afterall

Really good this year, huh. I've had a couple, couple more in the fridge, couple 4 packs in the cellar. I have a '12 in the fridge too to side by side.

Keep that banana in your pants. No one wants to see it.

My RIS after four months and into the bottle. Final gravity is 1.015 with anABV of 11+% ... I think after six months in the bottle I'm gonna have a winner! (Even flat at the moment it tastes great!)

Yes it was good ... I have a feeling between that and my RIS sample I'll still be feeling it when I get up in a few hours!

Fruit of my labor tonight:

O'Dell's Lugene. Really tasty chocolate milk stout.

Sam Adams New Albion Ale - this should come back...

Homebrewed wheat ale, turned out decent. Less malt and more bitterness than I hoped, but all in all it looks and tastes like a wheat ale. I think the next one I'll drink with a slice of lemon or orange, the way I like Bell's Oberon.

A collaboration Barleywine from some local brewery's .
