So good.

 

Not bad but not winning any prizes either.

I hope they put enough in distro up here. I asked my bottle shop guy about it on Tuesday and he hadn't even heard of it (but I think he's ordered it - if the distributor gets it.)

You're welcome. I see the over-carbonation wasn't limited to the one bottle I've had thus far.

My bottle shop has a 3L bottle of it Oh, and Wyerbacher just released 2014.2 of Riserva ...

Migrating our customer facing websites to a new data center. I'm mainly there to debunk whenever our contractor tries to blame our back-end systems for problems. I'm still baking while on mute though (so it won't be a complete waste of my time.) Water now - waiting for a long enough break to go down and grab another beer.

 

Lunch time coffee.
Looking forward to more kellerbier tonight

I just finished making a bunch of garlic naan dough to go with tomorrow's chicken saag.

 

Angry Orchard Cinnful Apple or something like that. Not enough cinnamon and too sweet but meh it'll do after the crap day I've had. Better than water.

 

This migration is off to a sucky start. Good thing this beer doesn't suck!

I'm enjoying Blizzard's HB Berliner. Very tasty!

 

Bud light clamato. No one really cares here anyway right?

 

Better you than me my friend.

Drinking this right now and actually have a clone fermenting right now based off this suggestive label. OG 1.086 only problem is I used wyeast 1028 when I should've used 1056.

 

Paying job done for the night. Baking still going strong!

Don't know exactly what those are but I want one so badly right now.

After 5 cinnfully apple whatever's they're pretty good. night all.

 

Water before an all to quick nap.

 

A partial mash kit beer called "Fire in the Hole" from morebeer. delicious. Irish red with some rye, dry hopped columbus, and slightly oaked. 10% ABV and creamy mouth feel

 

Coffee

There are deer to kill, but let's see how many I can miss today

 

Oooo! Good luck! Send me jerky!

Sounds real interesting. How long did bottle condition or was it ready to drink right away at 10%?

 

Smoothie, coffee's brewing and it's Friday Mutherfookers!

 

I'm on themertherflerkernkacawfeh!

 

Coff.

 

Coffee time. Thankfully I only have to work a little while this morning and then the weekend starts.

 

Go back to bed Mark, geez.

Water after gym

 

Coffee. I could justify doing very little at the office today but I'm determined to show some initiative and get **** done...maybe...

 

If only that were an option. Getting my son on the bus and then we have a status call to make sure last night's efforts aren't suddenly broken.

 

Started a 4th book last night while having some beers. Coffee time atm. Gotta show some initiative myself & work on comp's file associations for windows start menu...oh goody...

 

So, my Christmas stout has a sharp metallic taste up front. Is that from recipe, process (temp, etc.), or due to equipment, would you guess? I used a stainless boil kettle, which was freshly scrubbed. I have now read that maybe you need to let a stainless steel kettle "cure" (basically oxidize) after scrubbing but that was not my understanding of SS. I have never had this in any other beer.

 

Aluminum needs to be cured/seasoned after a good scrub, but I've never heard of that with SS. Not sure what might have imparted that.

 

Stainless just needs to air dry to do that. Another member brought up the specifics once. Can also be caused by hydrolysis of lipids in poorly stored malts according to Palmer.

 

does it taste like lead or goose butt, or more like razor blades and sugar plums?

 

I'd say more like paperclips and cocoa puffs.

 

Another thought, on that note: I did use an aluminum pot for a HLT. I can't imagine getting that sort of thing from just an HLT, though.

 

More Coff.

Have to go light on beer today, if I have any at all. Today's going to suck.

 

Uh, coffee

 

Well, after having chili dogs & beer last night with this morning's coffee...I'll be making like Fort, the flatulent robot of death... Anyway, My SS BK is allowed to air dry, as that's supposedly all that's needed to cure it. Never any flavors from that. But I did get hydrolysis a couple of times from old wheat DME before. It gives a metallic flavor.

 

Coffee. I feel like hell this morning. Not even hungover bad (only had one beer last night), just stuffy head and out of it bad.

 

I had the same problem awhile back ended up being a water issue. I switched places where I would get my RO jugs filled and the problem went away. I now taste it first before filling them up

Coffee. Yea Friday!

 

All these baking pictures from you make me want to make the drive up and eat every single one of those.

I was amazed how well the over carbonation hung around. Took 7 pours to empty the bottle and the last was just as foamy as the first... Over an hour later. Great beer all the same.

 

I used all RO water with additions. Maybe I should look into my water additions but they were similar to what I added when I brewed my Porter for last Christmas.
