What are you drinking now?

[bruteforce]

Te'j clone. Just a little tart, guessing from the champagne yeast. Gesho comes through nicely. Pretty happy with the local wildflower honey in it, nice flavor, a little more exciting than orange blossom for me at least.

 

[Eucrid]

After a few bbq beers im now having a Teeling Single Grain Irish Whiskey. Amazing stuff.

Cool. Next time I'm in Katy I'll have to check them out.

 

[Remmy]

Thanks. My only secondary vessel is a 7+ gallon glass carboy and I don't like that kind of headspace without active fermentation. Here's my plan:



OG = 1.080

SRM = 40

IBU = 60



Yeast - slurry harvested from Bell's Porter

Boil time = 90 min



Grain:

13.0 lbs. Maris Otter

2.0 lbs. Flaked Oats

0.75 lbs. Crystal 80L

1.0 lbs. Chocolate Malt

0.50 lbs. Black Patent



Hops:

1.5 oz Northern Brewer (60 min) 9.6AA

1.5 oz Willamette (20 min) 4.9 AA



Other:



1.0 lb. Lactose (10 min)

3.0 oz. Dutch Cocoa (10 min)

2 scraped vanilla beans (10 min)

2 scraped vanilla beans soaked in vodka (secondary)



Primary/Secondary - 4-5 weeks

Bottle Condition - Until Thanksgiving

Fridge Time - Thanksgiving until Christmas



Sound ok?

Why the lactose? The rest of it looks fine.

 

[Ridire]

My prior dark beers have turned out too thin. You don't like the lactose idea?

What were your mash temps?

 

[WesleyS]

Not bad. I still think the first one that came to TX back in '12 was better.

[Ridire]

I'd have to look at my notes, but certainly higher than with my other beers. Upper 150's.

There's one on 45 at Cypresswood now as well.

A little carafoam does wonders

Damn. I've been to Katy twice and I haven't been.

Drinking water.

 

[jak1010]

a little carafoam does wonders :d

wow!

 

[finsfan]

wow!

Yeah i havent had lacing like this yet, but i add 1/4 lb of carafoam to every batch to help head retention. Id say its working with this batch

 

[wobrien]

Very last bottle of my first saison. Not sure why this is so over carbed, no other bottle was like this. sad to see this one gone.

My first saison is currently going crazy in day 3 of primary. Excited about that one.

Drinking water.

 

[hawgwild81]

Drinking a Ranger Creek Smoked Porter after cleaning out my beer room to make room for company coming this weekend. I did find 2 bottles of my smoked porter I brewed 4 years ago that I forgot about. I'm excited to see what it tastes like now.

Thanks Hello for spreading the Gose experience! My first and I have to say, this is definitely different! Wasn't sure I liked it with first sniff/sip, but it quickly had me coming back for more. Disclaimer: I am NOT a renowned expert in the proper critiquing of beer, nor is my palate experienced at recognizing specific hops, grains, etc. With that stipulated, here's what what I got: aroma is not grassy/herbal hoppy, it reminds me of a German Pilsner with a little citrus. A sip can actually be followed from the tip of the tongue to cheeks to the back of the tongue...sour, tart, salt. The tart in the cheeks makes my mouth water. The salt brings me back for more, The carb is more like a fizz from Orangina, rather than a beer. I can see how this would be addicting and with a 4% ABV, it would be very refreshing and sessionable. The aroma that I'm getting as Pils could be the coriander ...that's my lack of experience. And I wouldn't call it "fruity"...but I've had some little fruit flies in the house recently...since strawberries were picked and brought inside...and 3 or 4 of them found my glass almost as soon as I poured the beer! Anyway, I'm diggin' it. Any comments on my description...where I'm right/wrong or whatever? I'd be interested in hearing from more experienced beer tasters who have tried Westbrook Gose...always trying to improve my own knowledge! Thanks again, Hello!

 

[mattmmille]

And my second, and likely final, pour of the night: Old Chub Scotch Ale. Not a sessionable brew at 8%, but a damn fine little session all its own! Roasty and malty together; a little sweet, but not too much. Just a little bitter in the finish and a bit of the alcohol warmth slowly appears in the back of the throat and in the nose, as I exhale. The can is entertaining too: "It's like Sputnik...a virtual planetoid." What?! On the bottom: " Canned on 04/01/14 @ 10:08 Chubble-Scope". Looking forward to visiting Oskar Blues in Brevard, NC soon. I don't know if the beer is any cheaper there, but maybe I'll grab a t-shirt or glass or something! An "Old Chub" shirt would be appropriate.

O itll be nice man.

Having a homer IPA at the shop.

 

[dudius]

Ice cold lemonade with a couple ounces of New Holland's Beer Barrel Bourbon. It's too damn hot for me to remember the beer in my fridge.

 

[tripplehazzard]

drinking bright from half full brewery

 

[mattmmille]

Weeeeell, I stayed up puttering around my e-mail and Facebook, like a dummy...so I went for another nightcap:
HB Major Nelson's IPA...still popping up a big head. Have to use the pint glass and pour slowly and carefully! Hops in the nose and some spice in the finish. Hello---if you haven't opened the one you got yet, it's not a gusher, but pour slowly!!! Reminds me of the Smokestack Series Tank 7 Saison from Boulevard that I just drank recently.
Now I really AM going to bed!

Glad you liked the Gose. I'll give you a couple more cans. I'll also pour that Nelson slowly.

[Ridire]

Walked into the office today and went about the usual routine. Loaded up the Keurig machine and let 'er rip. Sorted through my emails, went to the bathroom, etc. I grabbed my coffee mug and it was empty. I know I brewed a cup, I know I didn't drink a cup...so what could have happened...?

 

[Ridire]

More Coff.

Damn you. It's a crappy day here and I have morning meetings that require me to attempt to be polite to people in the AM.

What are you cooking?

That stinks, man. The weekend is almost here, though!

Making Cream of 3 Crops (another brew for my two neighbors). I'm keeping some.

I'm also bottling my latest DIPA. Then going to my farewell dinner later tonight where I will need someone to drive me home.
