Masstoberfest 09/20

[Sumo]

Anybody close to Watertown Mass. I need someone to try a sample of my first all grain and tell me whats wrong it..It's kinda harsh but I need other opinion..My wife thinks it's really bitter.

I live in Cambridge.

... try a sample of my first all grain and tell me whats wrong it..It's kinda harsh but I need other opinion..My wife thinks it's really bitter.

Not an expert here, but let's try to sort it out:

How about giving us an idea of ingredients and procedure, and maybe where you may think something may have happened, or you were not sure about?

Is the beer still young?

You've done quite a bit of extract recipes with great luck. Did you use same equipment, other than the AG-specific stuff?

I just saw Sumo at Modern brew in Cambridge. I had to pick up a few things and had a bunch of guys try it. They seem to like it. It might have had an off flavor, but overall, I guess they like it.

Sounds good Brian. We're often our own harshest critics.

Hey guys,
Remember that lambic that I was serving at Masstoberfest? Well I bottled up a few and sent them up to Maine for the NE Regional Homebrew Comp and won a gold medal with it.

Way to go Paul!!!! I still have yet to try that Lambic of yours...

 

[Hippie]

Way to go Paul!! And to everyone that didn't care for it, here's mud in your eyes... (even if it is an aquired taste)

Ah that would be me, however you will never get me to drink lambic.. or beets for that matter.. he could have made the yummiest beet pie in the world, and its still beets yuck! But I would still give him props.

How do you feel about beet lambic's? It could be nike two negatives equalling a positive. Two or three big ol' beets chopped up and added to the secondary. Hmmm, now you've got me thinking.

 

[bigjohnmilford]

way to go Paul.

Hey guys,
There was a lot of discussion at both Masstoberfest and at the Utopia Brew Day about winemaking. I started a thread here so we can discuss it and perhaps join our resources together and do a group wine crush. There's just something about yeast. Those little barstards get in your blood and you can't look at anything with sugar in it the same way again. All you local aspiring wino's should check it out.
