Morning beer with the boys. Usually off at 6am on overnights but working 4-4 this week. A rye stout with a couple very confused and bleary eyed felines. Rye stout will definitely be on my to brew list.

Schells pils is gone. Most of those beers from the 90s out of Schells have been retired. Pils, schmaltz alt both come to mind that my FIL still gushes about. One I would have added from them is the hefeweizen, but I believe last year might have been its final in rotation. Oktoberfest is...

Try angling the fermenter a bit. I ferment in fermonsters and bmb with spigots. The bmb generally has enough room to not suck much of the cake through the spigot, outside of what inevitably settles into the spigot. The fermonster seems to have more trouble with that, but when I move that...

New offering at one of the local liquor stores. Never heard of em so bought this and their rye stout. This was canned less than two weeks ago and it’s the freshest I’ve ever been able to buy an ipa. Really good stuff but I’m more excited for the stout.

A traditional red sauce pizza for once. Pepperoni and red peppers.

Just finished racking the bock onto my lager cake. Fermenters are full and a full week of overnights next week. The week after that though...Game on.

That was my experience as well, in Aug of 21. I wasn't out a month (damn!) but a hair under 2 weeks. I could have dealt with the flu like stuff, but it kept triggering migraines, which I get somewhat regularly, but I tore through about a 6 month supply of my migraine meds in those two weeks. I...

Sheesh, 125 for free shipping? This made me check NB as I'm in their next day shipping range, and that side of the company has also spiked up to 99$. Insane. I used to struggle to get to that 30$ break point when I started out. Hopefully morebeer keeps theirs a bit more reasonable

Damn. I just told my wife during breakfast that I was NOT buying any ingredients until at least 3 more brew sessions. I like to liquidate inventory, and then stock up. But I could use some Maris otter and 3-4 specialties....

First I have ever seen it as well. The flash sale is usually a hop sale (hop for sale by the pound), so they might exclude grains from the free shipping? Definitely worth trying your luck though.

Hydro sample from pale lager. 80/20 2row/corn and sonnet hops. Excellent. Kegging this and dumping a bock over the cake.

Leftovers pizza. Roasted chicken and snap peas. Wife made some sort of Thai inspired sauce and drizzled some bbq sauce on the top. Was spoze to have fresh homemade mozzarella but there was….an incident.

Bummer on the CK. Im extra glad I forced myself to buy one about a month ago. I believe Hullwrecker has been around for awhile. I remember looking into it a few years back but never purchased it. IIRC it had decent/good reviews, but was a bit out of my price range. It wouldn't shock me if...

I had a very similar sounding harshness to a pale ale I brewed last year. It was the only beer I had with that type of harshness at the end, and I chalked it up to hop burn/hop creep. Checking my notes, for whatever reason I let that beer sit on the dry hops for about 18 days. It never faded...

Yeah I wasn’t going to underpitch it. I ended up tossing a packet of T58 in. I had the same thought as @mac_1103 of belle attenuating further down than I’d like. Hoping the T58 plays well in there.

Hey folks. https://www.northernbrewer.com/products/houblonmonstre-tripel-ipa-all-grain-kit My wife's parents bought me this beer kit for Christmas, with two packs of 3522. Best by date on the yeast is June 17, 2023. I kinda spaced on having the kit and planning to brew it up this afternoon...

Bbq chicken and broccoli.

I’ve long wanted to make cheese but lack the room. My wife brought up mozzarella and we make a lot of pizzas so I thought I’d give it a shot. Her eye rolls as I’m giggling in the kitchen exclaiming when I was stretching the ropes out were intense. I did find it interesting how it’s seen as...

Chicken bacon ranch with spinach and broccoli and Homemade mozzarella. My second attempt at mozzarella. First one wasn’t great, this is much improved but mistakes were still made.

+1 for the cold crash guardian. It's probably not too difficult to rig something up yourself with some tubing and a ballon, but I think it cost under 20 bucks anyways. it works great for what its intended, and you can use the leftover gas to keg/bottle without opening the fermenter, as well.
