Farmhouse pale. Weird how much this beet smells like feet / funky cheese when opened and how that disappears and just leaves tropical hops. I think the tropical hop have lots of sulphur compounds iirc.

Just getting back from my distillery haul... You still want a apple brandy barrel?

Want? Yes.

Have the money for? Maybe.

My RIS ... the astringency is fading and should really be good in a few more months.

Tea. Because my stupid little demon niece got me sick.

#3 heady. This stuff is so good.

Nightcap!!!!!!!!!!

Reading Yeast right now and just read over this topic although I haven't seen it mention a specific type of hop it states that sulphur is a small part of the hop oils. Really digging this book.

One of these!

Debating on heady #4 or a bottle of long trail.

The Orval is at the bottle shop I frequent. They keep me stocked up on Rochefort 6 8 and 10 as well. I love those beers.

The barrels are 3 apple brandy, 1 bourbon, 1 rye. I am gonna use and abuse em then sour them.

I think I'm gonna crack that last Surly Furious and just pick up some more when I'm up in the cities this weekend.

More water. Jesus take the wheel.

Haven't had this one in quite some time. Last time I recall it was last winter brewing at 2 am in 17 F weather. Very good, as I remember it to be. On my second now, since it's so freaking drinkable.

My last FBS after a long crappy day at work followed by getting home to a pissed off SWMBO. Is this day over yet? :what:

I was trying to remember who it was who was drinking this a while back. I see it in my local supermarket all the time. Almost pulled the trigger a week or so ago. Got a 4 pk of global warmer instead. maybe next time.

If you dig Viennas I think you will probably like it. I dont find it very often so when I saw it last night I snagged several.

As I was trying to decide on my next beer, my 8 year olds told me I could never be an astronaut.

Then they showed me this:

Apple brandy barrel sounds like it could be awesome for beer. The bottle shops i go to have plenty of rochefort just no orval.

Those are 2 of my brewing goals for 2014. Purchasing a barrel, and brewing at least one sour.

Na zdorovie!

Drinking some seltzer water. I've gone from feeling yesterday to a slight runny nose this morning, and then afternoon it's descended into hell. So after this I'm probably just going to bed.

Nice goals! I hope to get my first sour underway this weekend. As long as NB delivers in time (which seems like it could be a problem given the weather forecast for Thursday/Friday) And as I'm drinking my RIS I'm already thinking that I need to brew it again and age it in a bourbon barrel.

A Denver pale ale with dinner before cleaning like a mad mad

Craziest buzz in a while. I

have to stop drinking.

just for tonight, right?!?

Drinking my third FBS and watching the Lost Boys

The combined dregs of the ciders I bottled a couple days ago. Between the two 1 gal carboys and the bottling bucket, had enough to fill a bottle. It's nowhere near as clear as the stuff that went into the bottles, even after crashing in the fridge for a few days, but tastes great.

I don't think I'll be making apfelwein again as this cider (just juice, no sugar) turned out so much better for me.

I remember my first alcoholic beverage bwahahaha

Time to get rid of some of these that have been hanging out in the fridge for so long.

Thanks! What did you plan on brewing as a sour? A traditional sour style? Or did you plan on souring a beer after its normal sacc primary? Im excited for my RIS i have it bulk aging next to a dubbel im also looking forward to.

I was bribed into staying awake. So f#@* it, I'm drinking a smoked black saison. Not like I can taste anything anyway.

I've got ECY bug farm so I'm going for a lambic style sour (or as I'm going to call it, lambeec).
