A beer mrs. Rum brought back from a business trip to Croatia. Grička Vještica (The Witch of Grič) is a 7.5% abv Doppelbock made by Medvedgrad brewery. The aroma is sweet and fruity, reminiscent of plums and to some extent jam, as the beer warmed up I was able to detect some more bready and...

Haven't brewed as much as I'd like this year, luckily I still have some time to make up for it. 3 gallons Dark Mild 3 gallons Smoked Porter 3 gallons Rye IPA 2,342 + 9 = 2,351

Yesterday's dinner. Another pils and a delicious, mouthwatering, homemade burek made by mrs. Rum.

Yeah, was certainly an unexpected surprise. I think I've learned from my mistake though. I'll be looking into some squatter proof storage for my grain in the future as well. For now I've improvised with buckets, lids and tape around the edge.

Nothing special today, better than water though.

Fair, though at their quantity I'd actually have to add them to the grain bill.

First attempt at an rye IPA, keeping my fingers crossed as my pipeline is very dry. Needed to get rid of some rye and thought to myself, why not an IPA. Also I would have brewed a stout earlier this weekend, but I've had a slight issue earlier this week. When checking on my stock after a summer...

The last of my HB dark mild. It wouldn't have lasted this long had I not forgotten about the two bottles at the very back of the fridge. The good news is that a new batch is currently fermenting and not a minute too soon.

Thank you, I really do appreciate the kind words . This one's self designed and I think I lucked out on it, will certainly brew it again with some minor adjustments.

HB chocolate mandarin stout. Age has certainly improved this one, need to make another batch as soon as I can get my hands on some lactose.

And a lovely dark mild. At this point I'm just scrounging through the depths of the fridge for any lost and forgotten goodies.

Found one last IPA hiding in the back of the fridge. Which reminds me, I really need to start brewing again, my pipeline's nearly dried out. P.S. bonus cat in the background.

It's been three years since I've made my spiced, plum mead, age has improved the taste beyond my expectations. Dangerously drinkable at 15%. P.S. wanted to make a picture with a full glass, but the mead was far too drinkable.

Managed to find two single hop, Styrian Wolf IPA's at a store today. O'hara's Hop adventure Styrian Wolf (not pictured as SWMBO drank most of it) and Lone Wolf a single hop IPA by Reservoir Dogs (a Slovene craft brewery). My take away from the sampling is that I'm a fan of the specific hop. The...
