Nimble Hill brewing, about 40 min from camp in Pennsylvania the other day. Really good porter, Belgian and cherry sour. Bought a couple bottles of something described as a cross between a chocolate Stout and wine (place is also a winery) but yet to try. Might hit something else tomorrow.

Currently reading it as well. Yeah it's a great book.

When we went to Alaska a few years ago my favorite brewery was devil's club in Juneau; I remember them having a good variety.

Same here

So it begins

My grodziskie. Very satisfied with the result. Going 100% oak smoked next time but other than that I wouldn't change anything.

HB Grodziskie at camp:

Lol sorry I'm here! T-minus 45 minutes. Schwarzbier and doppelbock in it.

I think it was Michelob. I never drank in high school, and this was at a 4th of July party in between high school and college (an "adult" party, not like my friends and stuff). I remember drinking it just fine, but thinking "this is beer? What's the big deal?".

Grodziskie. Very pleased with how it came out. Light, smokey, highly drinkable.

Kicked the schwarzbier, so cleaned the line and put the grodziskie on. The other day I did more keg troubleshooting, and of the 3 I thought had issues, I think 2 are fine. Unfortunately the one I still think has an issue is one that's on right now...

Yeah, it's got a strap. The reviews said it's kinda weak, so we'll see. Not a major feature for my purposes regardless.

Yeah, I bring kegs to places fairly often, so it was about time I got something like this. Throw some ice in and should be good for a couple days based on reviews I read.

Brewed up a brown ale today. All of a sudden I'm getting ~5% worse efficiency over the last couple of batches. Must be something with the mill I'm guessing, but I haven't been doing anything different, as far as I can tell.

I haven't tasted mine since I racked it to the keg. It has been lagering in the back of my kegerator waiting for an open tap line. The gravity sample was great though, so I've been itching to get into it!

Schwarzbier over the weekend at our family camp:

Shipped my NHC entries, grabbed some grains that a local spot let our brew club tag along on an order, cleaned the last keg that kicked and the line it was on, trouble-shooting possible issues with a couple of other kegs. Also first taste of the black IPA and man, it's definitely bittered like a...

(Finally) kicked the gruit-stout, so the black IPA is on. Also means I can get into the schwarzbier more.

Got a silver for the gruit-style stout which I just threw in since I had it, so that's awesome. Crappy score on the doppelbock. It was great on tap, so I blame the cbc-1 yeast I used to bottle condition it.
