What are you drinking now?

[tyzippers]

I bottled and planned on pasteurizing. But 2 out of the first 4 bottles I put in the pot to pasteurize blew up and I could see the other two venting out of the cap. So I pulled the plug on that plan, uncapped all the bottles to relieve the pressure, recapped and put them all in the fridge. Next time I'll stabilize the batch, keg it, and then bottle from the keg.
It's a long thread to read through, but if you haven't read much of it, there's a revised recipe in post #420. That's the one I went by.
It's pretty good, but next time I'll add more cinnamon extract.

Sweet. I started reading that thread, but got distracted by post 70-something. I still have to check out the pasteurization threads. I can't keg yet. Im still kind of excited to try this.

Yeah, cider finishes really low. I had one the other day that finished at 0.992. The last .010 drop took almost a month. I started blowing corks and ended up having to open all the bottles to relieve the pressure. That was a mess. That's one reason why I prefer to bottle still and pasteurize immediately after bottling.

If it hadn't occured to you already, you might want to try a little tiny bit of nutmeg and clove in with the cinnamon. You won't taste them exactly, the cinnamon will just seem to be more complex.

I am drinking diet creme soda... I got drunk last night and I don't like doing that two nights in a row.

Yeah, mine finished low and dropped completely clear before I bottled it. The problem comes in when you back sweeten and have to catch it right when it's carbonated just enough and then pasteurize. I think I was probably a day or two late on pasteurizing even though my plastic tester bottles seemed just right when I decided it was time. But I probably won't be trying that method again. Next time I'll make sure I have an empty keg ready and just carbonate it that way, then bottle from the keg if I want some in bottles.

The clove and nutmeg idea sounds good. I might have to try that next time.

Research beer, making sure I'm happy with the grain bill before I rebrew.

I am drinking sugar free peach lemonade. It's actually ok.

I haven't had skeeter pee yet. All the flavors you post make me want to attempt this.

Screw it. Where do you live? I want a batch!

Did everyone die at the end? Because I feel dead today. And I have to go home and clean the boat after work. I should probably wash and wax it too.

Michigan! Bring some local beers with you! Skeeter Pee is a fairly quick and great drink with a 10.46% kick. You should try it, definately perfect to keep in the pipeline all summer long.

My imperial oatmeal stout. Low carbonation.

I want to give this a shot. I have a feeling I am going to get hammered on a consistent basis from this. And I will likely have to make 3 batches at once so I can keep up with my body's demand for it!

Coors light it's a sad day someone out bid me on the house I was looking at :-( so im back on the hunt while the Beer Can Chicken cooks.

That's a shame, for rizzle!
I hope everything works out in the end, though.
I remember the days of disappointment when we were house hunting.
What's funny is we finally found one we really liked, bought it, and now, years later, I hate it.

 

[Remmy]

Perfection.

Life has a funny way of working out, maybe the inspection would have brought up some problems or you'll find something with better heat.

Saison here, trying to button up 2nd brew today and finish bottling one.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Very nice APA - thanks Coldcrash!

 

[Billy-Klubb]

water. I feel downright horrible. our youngest has had a cough & runny nose since we got back from vacation. now my sinuses are killing me, got a headache, and I feel like I used a 1" 48x96 T1 plate for a blanket last night.

Best of luck on the next one Nizzle - sucks to lose one you want, but there are still a lot of houses out there.
