What are you drinking now?

[mcbaumannerb]

Sounds delicious as well! This is my first SMaSH and Im really loving how the MO plays well with heavier hops

This will be my first as well. I'm hoping the MO gives a good balance and mouthfeel ... time will tell (and this is why I home brew!)

 

[nukebrewer]

Good stuff although now I think I'm liking the Rodeo Clown more.

Boooo! Last time I had it was at the Fox and Hound when we met, but based on that experience Hopadillo is far superior. I'll give it another shot next time I am in town, but I don't have high hopes.

 

[half_whit]

Yup

 

[nukebrewer]

Having my Belma/2-row SMaSH. I don't know why I am just now realizing this, but Belma really reminds of noble hops. I feel like Belma would go great in a pilsner. If I liked pilsners I'd give it a shot myself, but since I don't I don't think it's worth the time.

You should. One of the best beers I have tried had been rodeo clown. It was kegged and tapped that same day. I had pretty much the first beer from the keg... It was magical

I love hop bombs, but a well crafted pils is great too. Love Urquell and I'm so happy my neighbor has a freezer set up as a fermentation chamber so I can explore lagers. They will never be my preference, but they can be great in their own way!

Drank my customary last half-full bottle of Kolsch after bottling it, then popped open the bottle where the neck chipped while capping (rather consume than risk a bottle bomb).

Tastes like Kolsch to me. But wish I'd picked up a bigger stange. It's smaller than I thought. With head, it isn't going to hold a full 12 oz bottle. Oh well.

 

[bottlebomber]

I love a good decoction mashed pilsner with Belgian pilsner and Saaz hops. One of the only light beers worth drinking to me.

 

[Brewitt]

My new Grapefruit IPA after only 6 days in the bottle. Needs a bit more carbonation but it is tasting very nice. A very clean and simple IPA with a nice grapefruit kick in the finish. Even with the light carbonation already has nice lacing and a reasonably clear reddish amber hue. I'm likin' it!

21st Amendement Black IPA.

I've had it a couple times since then and enjoyed it. Don't get me wrong, though, Hopadillo is great too.

Coffee at work...yes I gotta work today. :/

I just poured my strike water into my MLT to pre-heat. I was enjoying this while heating it up.

Whatcha brewing Nuke? I was going to brew today, but postponed it til Wednesday. Hopefully I can make it a double brew day. The first batch will be a Belgian IPA with Sorachi Ace hops and the second will be a Double IPA.

My NHC entry for American Amber Ale. It's a variant of the Kiwi Red Ale recipe. Instead of all Motueka for late boil and all Nelson for dry hopping, I'm doing a blend of each for boil and dry hopping. I also changed the 60 min addition of Nugget to a FWH addition of Citra. It's also slightly darker than KRA, but only by a fraction of a degree. I am very excited for this one.

Does it taste like the real thing? With the camera flash it looks kind of off, but I imagine without the flash it's the spittin' image of Heady.

Mmmmm......looks good. How'd it turn out?

It's close. That glass is bad, it's think and I smudged it up messing with the gas. Color's a tad light, flavor is too citrus forward, but it's a very similar DIPA.

Sounds like its going to be tasty!

Done with coffee, now phasing into beer with a tasty oat-coffee stout.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Trying something new from Austin. Good, I'm always hesitant to by IPAs because I always get screwed. This bottle not super fresh but at least it has hops.

That's from the AHS owner's brewery, right?
I was gonna check them out next time I go to Austin.

I don't know the owner of AHS. I know its someone that worked there. I think the guy who did the recipe kits.

My Cal Common.

 

[TNGabe]

I don't have my notes in front of me but if memory serves I used wlp565 saison I. I got the recipe awhile back from a BYO issue.

Thanks! My buddy has all the BYO recipe books, I'll have to look for that one.

Love long weekends

Just did my first Motueka brew and have a pound coming from labelpeelers. Nelson/Citra is my favorite hop combo and I think Motueka will compliment it very nicely. Bet it will go great with Galaxy, too.

Odd Side Ales Citra Pale Ale one of the best beers ive ever had!

My English Brown.

 

[Spraentart]

Couldn't decide. I was going to have my first Clown Shoes beer but decided on Hopus Moderandi. I want to like it so bad but I think freshness is playing a huge factor in this one.

Petite saison. Gotta say not a fan of kegged saisons. Just seems to be missing something without the second fermentation.

Following Schlafly's instructions to enjoy within 1-2 days Vanilla Milk Stout in case you were wondering.

AHS' Honey Hibiscus Wit. I'll be glad when these are gone, but I'm too much of a professional to pour them out...
Before that, a Southern Tier IPA. Now that's a good beer.

I found more of my Falconer's AL in that keg, so I'm having that.

I'm very excited to see how Citra plays with the Nelson/Motueka combo that I already know I love. I have yet to brew with Galaxy, but I'd really like to get my hands on some. Based on the description I can see it going great with NZ hops or any of the fruity American varieties.

Is that a typo or the name of a clone brew? Or is it a commercial beer with a confusing name?

Got mine from Farmhouse. 8oz limit. Couldn't find it anywhere else for a decent price. I'm not paying $3/oz.

I'm stupid! Modus Hoperandi is most definitely what I meant but I think my version may work for a clone
