Meh, I have to work tomorrow anyways. What's another hour or so added to it.

Apparently, they're serving craft beer now. So I'd say good.

Did you have the Whopper Wheat yet?

 

[mattmmille]

So, when you serve it up, do you add some truvia? I saw you mention that in another cider thread. I like some sweetness, I don't need tons but I like some. I am very curious about this crabapple cider you're making from the random tree. Also, if you ferment dry you don't have to pasteurize if you bottle because there's nothing left to ferment, right?

Right...no need to pasteurize if the sugar is all gone except for the calculated primer. I like it dry sometimes, but have done the Truvia thing to try it and it was good, too. The only downside is the loss of the apple flavor. It becomes more like a sparkling white wine...which is okay, unless you want that sweeter apple cider flavor.

My last batch was a crabapple-Fuji juice blend That I fermented out, racked a few times for clarity (and may have lost too much yeast in the process)and then back sweetened with Murray's Apple Cider (free 64 oz carboy. made in Roanoke, Virginia from whole apples, pasteurized and has no additives or sweeteners). I was watching it for carbonation and planned to pasteurize it, but the carb was reaaaaally slow to build. I never felt like it was in danger of blowing. After a couple of months, it still has a light carb, but the flavor is the best of all of my attempts! I'm sure there's a way to calculate how much cider to add, but I winged it. I'll have to try it again and work that out. (I read about using frozen juice concentrate, but the label said it comes from China and Venezuela!)

And to stay on topic: I was on coffee and Advil this morning. Currently on caffeine free Coke. Need to go get some stuff in the fridge for later!

Wow this beer is good. First time as i kept seeing you all enjoy it, saw one this morning and had it grab it. Is there brett in this? Either way fantastic beer.

Listening to the worst episode of Basic brewing radio I've ever heard. I usually really enjoy the show, but between the guests sniffles and hodgepodge of 'throw cow pies at the barn and see what sticks' information, I'd probably scream at the computer if I was home alone. Yes, I know I can just turn it off

That is a great beer, I believe it is bottled with Brett.

You can turn that off you know?

Happened to notice the Sweet Maria's box. Is that where you order your green coffee? Been checking them out and getting ready to place an order myself...

I know, but I'm trying to have an aneurysm this week. They just started talking about Sandor Katz. Everytime I hear that name, I'm one step closer to that stroke,

Sure do. I need to quit being lazy and roast some coffee so I have enough to send out with the beer I finally feel safe shipping next week. All the cold weather beer shippers make me nervous.

 

[MrNickVT]

This has me really baffled. I'm not sure if I like it or not. It's really boozy. Kind of funky IMO.

That one has a lot going on ... if I pick one up I think I'll let it get a little age before drinking.

Smoked saison?

Smoked saison?

I bet they used 3724 too

 

[Qhrumphf]

Water. I'll probably crack into the single malts later. In the mean time, I got bored and tracked down the EAC thread finally. This better be worth the hype...

I'm positive that I'm done buying stone beers unless it's enjoy by. This is the 3rd time I've had one of their collab or special brews and have not likes it.

I think you meant 3711.

No, I didn't have to drink it. I think you're confusing 'picky & limited' with 'discriminating and refined'. I don't think disliking smoked malt, chili beers, or pumpkin beers makes me picky. It means I don't like disgusting beer.

Just slammed down an angry orchard traditional dry. Sister in law stuck me with it, some ginger one, and some Crispin... Sick of it taking valuable beer fridge space!

DAMMIT! So many saison strains from wyeast. At least I didnt say 3726.
