sorry for the long delay in posting. I was in a car accident and did not have to use of either of my arms. I am back to normal now, in any case the beer! it was fantastic for a long time. However after approximately 3 to 4 weeks it became rancid and sour. it is important to note that I did no t...

Drinking a bananna brew right now. Just dropped a beer off with my beer yoda Doug who is adding it to his Friday beer tasting event. Ya!

definitely give it a try. There's no necessity to eat the beer cheese which resides on top after fermentation. But it is not that bad if you do. I plan to make more cream based beers in the future, possibly a peaches and cream beer for the summer.

Ya, I'm excited too see what people other then my roomates and random house guests think of it. I think it will be less bananna-y then you guys expect, I added a lot of banannas, but not as much flavor was imparted as I would have liked. I think that those proud 5% that voted that my beer will...

If its over 20$ ill send you a copy of the ticket and you can send me a check. Otherwise I don't mind covering shipping costs

Ok I know you have really wanted to try it, what's you address?

In other news, now in the primary is a s'moored theme beer made with 2 kinds of 2 row barley, one carmel one lighter, flaked wheat and 2lbs of raw honey ( added on day 3), cinimon, 1.5 lbs of brown sugar and a few ounces of vanilla to simulate the graham cracker taste, a bunch of coco powder...

Ok let's do it. It will be nice and carbonated in A few days. Send me an address of your selected taste tester and ill ship it.

Hmm, bottle bombs sound bad! I haven't tested it with the hydrometer recently, so its probley higher then 10% now that I think about it. Well if there's stil too much sugar in there then I guess an explosion could be cool. My plan is if one blows, ill quick throw a party and drink the rest. It...

I just bottled it, I gave it to 4 other people as taste testers, and I got rave reviews!!!!!! This stuff is great, it is thick and creamy partially from the bananas in it, it tastes very good. I estimate it is 10% alcohol right now. The Target is 12.5% which with some time in the bottle I think...

Bottling begins tonight gentlemen, t-7days till finished bottled beer

Very true, especialy since I boiled it I don't foresee infection, its been weeks and no spoilage.

But will it ferment at all in the fridge? And yes, I lost a lot due to the massive amounts of trube and milk fat I removed.

Well, when my bannana's foster-cream-beer goes global it will be available in every major beer (and cheese) selling establishment. Till then your probably out of luck unless I am struck by a a monumental feeling of charity and go through the hassle of sending you one. Which might happen...

It tastes very banana-ish now with strong brown sugar, cinnamon and spice notes along with a vanilla ending. The cream flavor (Partiality from the lactose added earlier) adds a nice finish and the beer has considerable body. No sour flavors or smells. Due to the amount of spices and molasses...
