HB "Swarthmore" Shwarzbier

This was interesting.. I think to much acidulated malt, but not bad.

Ohhh god, in my youth I probably had to much of that crap, now my heart would explode... oh and jagerbombs... why why why did that happen. Dont miss it I know that. On that note, this is weird beer..

You got this

So I’m on a business trip to Northern California, boozing alone in the hotel room.

A good opportunity to check out some of Jamil’s handiwork. Anyone want to know how this tastes? Which should I chug first?

 

[Knightshade]

Mosiac hop water.

 

[orionol73]

 

[Beermeister32]

Ok, brew #1 is Heretic’s Lager, a 5.4% ABV Munich Helles. Medium head, medium carbonation, moderate lacing. Tastes a bit like Weihenstephaner Original Premium. Jamil’s Munich Helles book recipe says 16-22 IBU, this seems the same, easy drinking Helles, probably Hallertau Mittlefruh hops.

 

[Beermeister32]

Next brew on the Highway to Hell is Jamil’s notorious Evil Twin. Light head, medium carbonation and lacing. This big boy is a 6.8% ABV Red India Pale Ale.

I don’t see a Red IPA in the book, so this is definitly a hybrid. Sort of like half BJ’s Jeremiah Irish Red and half a West Coast IPA, like you blended the two in a glass on draft. Tasty!

 

[Beermeister32]

Boy it sure is great putting 18 beers on your per diem for dinner on the road! Expense it!

Final coup de grâce is the uncontested heavyweight, Heretic Evil Cousin, a West Coast IPA weighing in at 8.0%, ready as ever for the knockout punch. Close your eyes and I say Stone IPA. Theirs is 6.9 ABV, 71 IBU. Jamil’s 8.0. Unknown on the hops but it’s balanced, so somewhere over 80 IBU me thinketh.

Now 15 more to drink, this is my dinner. Just joking…. C’mon…. Prost!

So I posted that brew days are postponed as mom-in-law fell and broke her arm. Thanks to thems as offered sympathies, sorry if I seemed callous to others. I'm a silver-lining kind-of-guy, so a dried-up pipeline vs. forced to buy new beers from Total Wine is a little tongue-in-cheek optimism.

Anywhose, I have been traveling up to her place 3x a week to cook for her and my wife (her 24/7 caregiver), so while I cooked three days of meals for them tonight here is what made it a wee bit smoother:

Maibock next in the brewin' queue!

Me too! Working up a recipe today.

 

[NotSure]

Testing carbonation levels on my HB Chocolate Cherry Imperial Milk Stout I've been aging that was bottled on 3 Feb 2021. Carbonation is fine, but I learned that you need to use tart cherries if the flavor is going to come through. Still nice though....could use a shorter name.

 

[Pianoman]

Miller Light at lunch at Pluckers then these, whatever these are...

Agreed! Used both tart and sweet cherries in my Belgian Quads. Tart is the way to go.

Looks like what you'd fill before you got the job.

 

[Bluekat]

Interesting. 7 out of 10 in a can. It’s probably fantastic on draft.

 

[SmokyPinesBrewing]

Holy Spin at a local brewery

 

[Pianoman]

Been a while since I've watched golf. Don't recognize anyone. Are Jack and Chi-Chi still on tour?

New Glassware day fizzled, I'm such a light weight anymore. Continuing on, I've always wanted a Bud glass! $1.09 Goodwill find with HB Maple Brown.

Have to admit the dude tried putting up a really good spin trying to sell them. Not sure I could get a job doing that. Ha!

[Pianoman]

See if I remember how to use this thing. Perfect sky before the freeze.
