I am enjoying a Lagunitas Maximus after a horrible day. Nice to have a cold one in my hand.

Yea it us. Beer is ok. A solid IPA onto a revolution anti hero now. Might be a better can and beer.

It's pretty good. I think I let the hops sit too long in it because it came out more bitter than expected. It smells great though. I'd like to try it again with a different hop variety. I just used some Magnum whole hops I had left over from my last batch.

One more question (lol) ounces of hops to whiskey?

1 cup whiskey

Thanks! I'm gonna try this

 

[SFGiantsFan925]

^ I think I will too. What type of Whisky did you use? Bourbon? Irish? I would think a nice clean Irish whisky would be perfect. But I know bourbon would add a whole other element. I have a ton of both, whisky and hops. So, Im down to try for sure haha. And no need to sterilize :cross:

Founder's breakfast

 

[oldstyle69]

Evil Twin` Russian Roulette...pretty damn good

 

[SFGiantsFan925]

About 1.5 oz of Irish Whiskey. Figuring since the wife and I just bought our tickets to Ireland for 2 weeks, Ill celebrate with some of it. Dont have Guinness so I guess this works

I had some Canadian whiskey laying around that a friend bought me. Since its a smooth, mild whiskey I decided to use it instead of my precious bourbon.

Well, it's my day off so I am getting started early this morning. Continuing to sample the goods from last night's haul. This really good. A little more bitter than your typical imperial stout, but for the level of bitterness it's clean.

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

What's in the carboy?

Merlot.

 

[Rob_B]

A Cigar City Brewing pilot batch at the airport. Tasty Red Ale they're calling Sikorsky, malty, hoppy love in a glass.

 

[WesleyS]

Merlot.

Nice.
I need a few more carboys to use for wine.

Lookout for sales, NB recently had Better Bottles BOGO. I got those 3 gal glass ones for the same deal there a couple years ago. I'm assuming if they do BOGO in store, they do it online. I prefer glass for wine, since it sits so much longer usually.

 

[nukebrewer]

Good stuff right here. Nothing over the top, just a nicely bittered IPA with plenty of hop aroma and flavor. It's got Amarillo for bittering with Simcoe and Santiams (never heard of it) for late hops. It's got my seal of approval.

Yeah, I'll keep a lookout for that. I recently was given a 6.5 gallon glass carboy by a friend. He was at a goodwill store and bought two before they were put out on the shelf. He paid three dollars each for them. I keep telling myself I need to frequent more yard sales, resale shops etc.
I'll definitely have to make some merlot. Is yours from a kit?

 

[NordeastBrewer77]

Yep, one of those Alexander's Sun Country cans, they have merlot and pinot (maybe a few others) at Midwest. 1 can + sugar, water, acid blend and yeast makes 3 gal of wine.

Oh yeah, beer......

Scored some goodies today.



This is a really killer PacNW IPA.

 

[jerryteague]

I'm having a hot toddy, trying to get rid of this crud that I have. I think I'm just succeeding in getting myself hammered.
2 oz of Bourbon
1 1/2 oz honey
1 oz lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon
Heat and drink

Tastes awful, but strangely, I feel a little better. After 2 of these, I think I might be feeling a little better. Of course, it's probably the alcohol making me not care if I'm sick!

Sorry ... I can't see the word vortex any longer without thinking of the asinine bottle "technology" from MillerCoors! The beer looks great though!

I'm fighting something right now too. I usually make me a couple hot toddys when I feel like this. I enjoy them. I think the only difference between what I make and your recipe is I do equal parts lemon juice and bourbon and just a sprinkle or two of cinnamon instead of a whole teaspoon and I add a little bit of water to top off.
Hope you start feeling better!

Thanks, I'll check them out.

I expected this to taste more like the color green, but it's still a good IPA. Getting a lot of very pleasant citrus notes, especially lime which I don't think I've ever picked up in a beer before. But it works, so I'm not complaining.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Homebrewed Bitter.

 

[nukebrewer]

Really good IPA. Really good fruity character in the flavor/aroma. It tastes like it's more yeast derived, but the hop character is still excellent. Citrus and piney all the way. Definitely recommend this to those who can get it.
