What are you drinking now?

My wife doesn't, I have been comparing the perfect beer to the perfect woman since before we met: dark and bitter.

 

Nope, drop one off at my place and I will let you know what I think.

 

Heady Topper.

GF made me give her a 4oz pour off the top.... better than her taking a whole one if she doesn't want the whole thing, I suppose.

 

No fuel for the jet, sorry.
Hopefully one day we will distribute that far.

 

Congrats

An Imperial white grape juice. Pretty sessionable at 13%.

So I kegged a 3 C's Pale Ale yesterday for my Superbowl party after a 3 week fermentation in my conical (1 week short but FG was good). Charged it @ 35 psi over night, then agitated several times today (while keeping fingers crossed). My intention was to let it rest at 12 psi in the kegerator until game time. But instead, I am now 3 glasses in with no signs of stopping anytime soon (its very tasty). I apologize in advance to any of my guests who don't actually get to try it because they don't show up until the actual Superbowl. That's my bad! LOL

 

Thanks man! Those steaks looks awesome. My hopefully future employers are grilling up some prime rib tonight for our meeting. One of my favorite cuts.

 

Stone Smoked Porter With Vanilla. Tastes ok, I get little to no smoke, but a very pleasant vanilla smell. At the beer store, not the best offerings, lot of local mediocre beers. But I spy one lone 12 oz of sculpin grapefruit. If it isn't outrageously priced I'll pick it up.

Mouth destroyed from ipas all day.

Switching back to southern tier IPA before finishing better half.

Waiting on dinner to cook so having this. A bit over-carbed but it works with the spices and fruitiness.

Being fat tonight. Bacon and bell pepper deep-dish pizza.

 

Curmudgeon. Meh.

 

A brewer has to do quality control

 

That is pretty much how I carb my kegged beers (30 psi with some agitation; then let sit at 12-15 psi for a day or so then setting to 8-10 psi for serving). Congrats. I have a hard time stopping, too.

Next.

Another pull off of the keg. Ticallion.

Well, there you have it... Suck it Seahawks and screw the Patriots. Icing was aerosol and impossible to use. On to beer.

Fill a growler and pop down to Cary! I'll be taking a few bottles to the in-laws to watch the Super Bowl with a bunch of people who don't drink and in a place without enough comfy seats for all our butts...and it's hard to drink and blend in with non-drinkers! At least the food will be good.

Coffee. Kids have friends coming over and I have to take the two boys bowling. My beer drinking will have to commence later...but I have the test bottle of my Yooper's Oatmeal Stout in the fridge! (Bottled on 1/19, so it is very young, but will be my first "official" taste to see how it's doing.)

 

Impulse buy. Brewing a brown ale recipe from them tomorrow and haven't tried their beers until now.

Some hops with my first hop addition. This brew day is taking forever.

 

Indeed, quality control cannot be overstated.

Horny Goat Brownie Porter.

 

That's great. All you need are five more faucets.

 

Yeah, Cary is a long drive down 540. Of course I could offer the same without the lack of seating, no in-laws and only enough food to soak up copious amounts of brew. I'm just a short trip up Capital Blvd.

 

Raspberry saison. Not bad View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1422748200.138391.jpg

 

Sweet tea vodka and lemonade.

Thanks for the offer but we sometimes have to put up with the drawbacks to satisfy family obligations. *sigh* But maybe we can do a Raleigh Big Brew this Spring sometime with @Hello and sample some home brews!

I want to say I hate you. These are strong words and I don't mean it.... Just really really jealous.

 

I've never been a huge fan of regular sculpin, but I could drink this everyday.

 

This after dinner.

One minute to flameout.

 

No worries, I'm good for a meet N greet and brew exchange this Spring though. Not sure where you go for supplies but I'm an Atlantic Brew Supply fan myself.

No sliced pics, eh? #overcooked
