Beer

Home at last. Water and then bed. Long day today!

 

[mattmmille]

Checking in on my American Amber with East Coast Ale Yeast and fresh Cascade hops. Carb has picked up nicely and the slight astringency that was in the finish earlier, has gone away. Turns out to be a decent, easy-drinker. Not remarkable, but pretty good.

Starting a little 1/2 gallon cider experiment with salvaged East Coast Ale Yeast.

L to R: Old Sour Dewberry, Crotchety Dockhand, Recalcitrant Dockhand, and Vulcan.

Also had an Independence Power&Light on cask with Citra and Galaxy. Straight grapefruit juice deliciousness.

Having one of my Scottish Pumpkin Ales...this bottle poured a glass full of head to begin with. Still delicious, though.

Trophy Brewing. It's amazing and I'm going back to have it with their amazing pizza.

They're a new brewery, small, nothing bottled or canned I don't think and they won best pizza in NC.

Finishing off my sixer of this. Will definitely get some more of this before they stop making it for the year.

 

[BGBC]

I agree, although being flat doesnt bother at all with this. Its still very crisp and I think that makes it seem more carbonated than it is. What was your souring procedure/timeline?

You know you want to check that bad boy in.

I made a lacto starter from raw grain, let the starter go for about a week. Got nice and sour. Strained the starter and pitched it into the wort, held for 24 hours at about 100F. After 24 hours it had gone from 1.048 to 1.015, so I pitched some S-05 at that point. It wasn't very tart at all for a while and only slightly so at bottling (~2 months in primary). It really started getting more sour in the bottle.

Honestly, I'm on the "just one more" kick. It's a bad place to be when I have so much crap to do tomorrow.

Thats impressive man. I made a grain starter for mine and it turned out terrible haha. Nice work!

Cant wait to get you some fresh BCBS!

Second pour.

 

[Hello]

Like any self respecting woman, I had to wash the sheets that came in the post today and get them on the bed. After an Army Ground Services concert, this is what I did. Now drinking this because again, work doesn't seem to matter tomorrow. Odd. Second drink ever in bed that wasn't water. You people have ruined me.

Looking forward to it. I did find one bottle at a place by my work, but 1 is just not enough. Got a 4 pack from last year and 2 coffee from last year.
CS is done with their bottle releases for the year after tonight. Hope to have a 'meeting' downtown tomorrow. Worst case, I head there on Monday and grab 2 of whatever they got for you.

Very excited to see what they put out!

Man I want 2014 coffee. People here are ridiculous about it and I'm unwilling to give nearly $50 in beer for one coffee.

I've had 2013 'regular', coffee and barley wine. Coffee is my favorite, but nowhere near $50 a bottle favorite.

I love that it's always stout season.

I slept for **** when I quit smoking. It was terrible. I hope it passes for you. Congrats on quitting.

Good for you keeping at it!

Coffee ... tired as hell, but at least the weekend is near!

 

[Remmy]

Are you wearing white Levi's?

Ha ha. No. Khakis, unfortunately. I'm a raw denim fanatic and would rather have that on than work clothes.

Coff. Been up for the last 3 hours. Slept like ****. Should've drank more last night.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Water. Had to take the day off today as my 5 yr old daughter is sick. Maybe I can get in a brew session today after I get her to the doctor.

 

[unionrdr]

Big mug of coffee. Finally got my card back to maybe do some shopping.

 

[DrunkleJon]

Coffee. Bagel. No picture. So its probably actually BMC and pork rinds.

My fermenters have been dry for a while now. I really need to start planning out my brews for the post christmas 4 day weekend I am getting (I work on christmas) and the subsequent new year.

 

[unionrdr]

Me too. Gotta brew the ESB, then get off me bum & do the updated versions of my Burton ale & Whiskely.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

More coffee. With coconut crack. Because I can.

Office Coff sucks and the line for our fancy coffee machine is too long for me to wait in.

Just got back with another haul from the beer store along with some wine for tomorrow's shindig at my house.

 

[TobyG]

Morning coff. Might have a second monster cup later. Late night of packaging (eMAW and a trade) and sold and delivered one of my kegerators.

 

[Hello]

Water. I have a high level of disdain for Outlook this morning.

 

[finsfan]

Water after shoveling the neighbors driveway. Waffles on deck!!
