This is moonshine,, so I'd be careful with the very oldest ones just in case he wasn't fully methanol-aware...those might be the "beginner batches". There might be a test you can do. How to Test If Alcohol Has Methanol. I'd suggest the "yellow flame" test at the very least.We inherited the family wine cave, and back in the deepest corner we found about 80 bottles of this stuff. Her dad had a license to distill fruit from his orchards, so every year he made plum and pear brandy. Unfortunately none of the bottles have any markings so it's a crapshoot what kind you'll get. Since he quit making it in 1982 we know it's that old, and the bottle style is distinctly not modern so it's probably from the late 50's or early 60's.
Yeah, 16oz is lot.Great RIS. I think I like the 12 oz bottle size better. 16 oz of a beer like this is a bit much for my palate!

One in honor of my dad who passed away earlier this evening at the young age of 92. He lived a good life. Love you, dad.

Great album by the Dead Milkmen, BTW.Grist is measured and milled for tomorrow and my water is sitting in the kettle, ready to go.
It’s too dark to take a picture on the red tool box, the CD rack will do. This is the first time since last Spring that I’ve been up after the sun went down.
A pleasantly insipid blonde ale with Mandarina Bavaria. View attachment 779994
Local band. Drummer lives in Media about a mile from me!Great album by the Dead Milkmen, BTW.
How do you like opal hops? Good for dry hopping? I just got 5 kilos of it and need to sprinkle it everywhere. I've brewn my first batch with them, conditioning on bottle as we speak. I think I overdid the bitterness by quite a large margin unfortunately based on how it tasted after fermentation.View attachment 770725HB Dry Hopped American Pilsner with Opal hops. Not clear, but it seems to get clearer (slightly) with each pour. A little floral & spicy notes while being easy drinking. Just my two cents.

There was an old-school Yard's brew flavored with Spruce that I always meant to try and never did. Enjoying their Unter Dog lately.Yards Jefferson's Golden Ale while my sauces simmer. One meat sauce, one chunky garden style vegetarian with mushrooms and red bell. This is what the Eye-talians here around Philly call "Sunday Gravy".

It’s my first time using Opal. I get a lot of spicy notes with a little bit of floral on the backend. It was an old bag that was never opened and I wanted to give it a try, so I amped up the amounts based on the lost AA BeerSmith calculated. I’m happy with it but fresher lots may have a different character to it, or maybe not.How do you like opal hops? Good for dry hopping? I just got 5 kilos of it and need to sprinkle it everywhere.
