Hibiscus cider. Purdy

This is my first brew ever. Many thanks to the forums on this site which answered a ton of my questions. It's a Czech IPA, which means made with cz hops

Barrel Aged Scotch Ale.

Here's my newest - a Hefeweizen base with 1 lb/gallon of each peaches and blackberries, then a pic of everything on tap right now.

Can we get the story behind this shot, please?

Where and what?

Certainly! The shot was taken in 2015, looking north from the deck of the villa we rented at the south end of Ten Bay on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. We have the same Ten Bay villa reserved for the last half of the coming March.

The beer represented the revelation of actually finding an excellent beer on an "Out Island" in the Bahamas. It was an Island Pirate IPA from their brewery in Nassau. It was the first time I found a good beer on any Out Island - ever. Usually I switch to rum for the duration because it's so cheap (gold label 2 liter bottles for $14!) versus the $3-$3.50 for a bottle/$18-20 for a sixer of Sands/Kalick/Corona.

--------------------

fwiw, over the last 20 years the Spousal Unit and I have been spending two weeks in the Caribbean at the tail end of our winter, hitting islands from The Abacos as far south as St Maarten. Our favorite islands are the Bahamas Out Islands (aka "Family Islands") because they are so undeveloped - pretty much the opposite of Nassau and Grand Bahama and the American and British Virgins.

So there are plenty of beaches one can have to themselves for an entire day, lots of places to fish without seeing anyone else, the residents are warm, friendly and happy to welcome visitors, and rates for villas and jeeps are relatively modest.

Of the Out Islands, our favorite is Eleuthera, mostly because it's the longest at ~120 miles and offers the most beaches, flats fishing and old plantation and township ruins to visit of the lot. We've done Cat Island twice, Long Island twice, Exuma twice, Crooked once, and this next trip will be our third to Eleuthera. Love them all.

Sadly, while the Bahamas were spared, places we've stayed in the Virgins - villas, and even a historic inn -
are literally gone now as the result of the hurricanes this year, so we may be doing the Out Islands for a few years before the Virgins recover and rebuild...

Cheers!

[edit] Speaking of Tortola, this shot was taken in 2016 from a villa just over the ridge line above Road Town.
iirc, that's a Magic Hat Electric Peel that I stumbled into in a package store.



That villa was erased by Irma

Great post. Thank you.

1st LODO attempt: a brown ale. Brewed August 26, 2017.

Probably one of the last full pints from the keg.

My house Weissbier recipe. Orange zest and chamomile.

My latest NEIPA - A lot of the color is coming from the table.

Second photo a few minutes later showing actual color

My son was having his engagement pics being done at the house and I offered a pint to him, (photographer) he liked it so much he asked if he could take this pic

Kitchen Sink Beer, made with left over ingredients. German Pilsner, a little Munich and about 3 pounds of quick oats that were left over from Hurricane Irma. Because honestly, when am I gonna eat 3lbs of oatmeal?

Robust Vanilla Porter

Here are a few pictures I've accumulated over the years. I'm going to try to start taking pictures more regularly in the future!
- First is a Rye Porter that has become a house brew and is a crowd favorite.
- Second is one of my first Marzen's. I have the same recipe on tap right now, but I've never been able to get a better picture.
- Third is a NEIPA with Azacca, Citra, and Simcoe. I'm going to brew a second iteration of it next weekend.
- Fourth is a Czech Pilsner that I'm planning on rebrewing again in about a month.

Trying out this new forum from my phone! Sampled my raspberry kettle sour. First pour.

A porter:


and a red ale I currently have on tap:

Tapped my latest IPA tonight. Only two days in the keg. I'm very impatient.
Oh, and some ribs fresh off the smoker.

Before


After

India Pale Lager. Gelled in the keg after cold crashing. After it cleared I dropped 1oz each of Chinook, Cascade, and Citra in the keg in a pantyhose leg. Clear and very hoppy.

On tap-
NEIPA w/ Columbus and Citra.

And.

Hoppy Blonde Ale w Citra, Topaz, Mosaic.

HB Milk Stout. Quite tasty

Mango wheat...came in at about 6.2%

That looks sexy

NEIPA

Tried to do a red IPA but it came out pretty dark. Still tastes good!

A Julius clone I brewed on September 10 using LoDO techniques.
Three+ months it still tastes and looks lovely...



Cheers!

My first hefeweizen, came out pretty good but I'm going to ferment it much hotter next time for more banana.

This is my first batch ever, apart from a Mr beer kit I brewed with my dad back in 1993. It's an AG BIAB Belgian saison brewed in late October and bottled on 11/5. My wife loves it, and the three guys at my LHBS liked it despite not being fans of the style, and had zero feedback for improvement. Beginners luck I guess!! Anyway I've brewed 5 batches since then with varying degrees of success. I love this hobby!

Edit: it's clearer than it looks, the glass was frosty!

Nitro chocolate stout nitecap, last pour from that keg.
But I have two more in the pipeline ready to go



Cheers!
