Yes, great beer; even named my dog after it! Edit: his name is "Korby" to be precise.

Finally kicked a beer (keptinis) so that I could put the oatmeal stout on. Also it has been a bit since I actually brewed due to not really needing to, and dealing with the weather. But final prep was made to brew a koyt beer tomorrow.

Only been there once myself, but their beers aren't too hard to find. Yes, they do VERY well made lower abv styles that are nearly flawless. I did a tour there and they had just added new tanks recently. The head brewer said: "When most breweries add more tanks, it's so they can make more beer...

@Dgallo mentioned The Warbler, and I will second that. It's a small operation - only 2 official employees. But the head brewer/owner has been in the business since his college days. I'm a little biased as I've become good friends with him, but the beer is (mostly) objectively very good and well...

What an adorable little angel. I feel your pain. About 1.5 years ago, my wife and I lost our first dog together, she was 14.5. Coincidentally, our current dog is actually a schnauzer-yorkie mix, though he looks a bit different than your girl (as you can see in my profile pic). She'll live on in...

While I love the idea of a dark/black bock, this seems to me to be a Baltic Porter, style-wise.

Did my marzen yesterday. Did a split batch to see what effect the decoction is having. It was a long, complicated brewday with a lot of moving parts, but very curious to see how it comes out. (edited to cross out my license plate just to be safe...)

Dumped the IPA since it was terrible, kicked the common, cleaned both kegs & lines, kegged the Fredersdorfer bier & keptinis and put them on tap, did a new batch of hop water. Going to be a bit before I really need more beer, but I had time today so brewed an oatmeal stout.

Since I like a big roast profile in my stouts, I prefer a darker one; 300L is lighter than most chocolate malt. I have to be sure to ask for it though as my LHBS defaults to the 300L unless specified. The first time it happened I thought they gave me the wrong stuff...

All right, package came yesterday, so all set here.

Anyone like death metal? Local place (Rare Form brewing) did a collab with Skinless, and they were there for the release party. I actually have a tattoo from the guy that did the cover art as well (already had it, didn't get it because of the band lol).

For the record I'm still waiting, but I've been in touch. Hopefully not too much longer based on our last conversation. Edit: looks like he beat me to commenting

Thanks! I attribute it to the yeast more than anything. My first time using novalager. Fermented fast, clean, and flocc'd out great.

California common:

Absolutely never.

Lets see, over the last week or so: kicked my colored "blonde" ale at the Southern Vermont homebrew fest, kicked my schwarzbier, and tapped my California common. In the next few days I'll dry-hop the IPA, then keg it. Cali common brewed for a specific club tasting related to that style as we...

Last of the schwarzbier after it nearly kicked at the southern Vermont homebrew fest:

A few days late on the post, but I brewed over the weekend. I don't really brew IPA's much anymore in general, but noticing I had some "IPA style" hops left, and a hoppy beer brew club competition coming up, I decided to do one more of them (non-hazy). Hop choice was based solely on what I had...

Me too! (Having trouble uploading the pic, apologies if it doesn't show up. Edit: there it is, file was too large)

Just checked, and I can login fine, no ban message. Rarely go there anyway though...
