Both yours? That's a full night of drinking for me.

Back at RV after bike ride sharing hops inspired recovery beverage with my Bro.

@ Cumberland Mtn State Park for the Bike Ride Across Tennessee. Settled down in the ŔV with my traveling buddy and a solid IPA.

Lot's of traffic on this thread. I had to switch to little bags from my hop spider once I began using the steam condenser lid on my svbs. Just unwilling to flush all the hop trub through the recirculation manifold. The bags are easier to clean up as they are disposable.

Yes, and we thought the dark beer was more like real beer.

Chinook hopped IPA

Posted this the other day on what are you drinking. However the aesthetical characteristics of the pint warrant appreciation in this thread also. For some reason color, body, flavor, and head retention all came together in this brew.

50 bottles of my Hops Kitchen Heritage IPA. Finished @ 1.011 w/ 6.8% about. Looking forward to checking again in 10-14 days when carbonated.

Put 2 cases of bottles in dish washer for bottling on Sunday and 2oz of Cluster in fermenter to dry hop my Heritage IPA.

HB IPA to start the weekend. My club is hosting a tasting event at our regional fair tomorrow so looking forward to that

Totally agree. I have generally quit buying bottle beer mostly because I like my HB better, but also have a good supply of bottles in use now. When I do buy bottle beer, I select for paper lables that soak off. Lots of good craft beer in cans these days, and they transport well in the RV when...

Yes, those plastic labels don't soak off very well and you have to apply a solvent like goo gone, or one of the organic hydrocarbons. I have found it easier to peel the labels in their entirety rather than scrape them off. Good luck

Check to see if the bolts don't snugup to the wheels. The may have a role with wheel adjustments in the rear dropouts. Interesting looks like Hole in the tab is threaded too.

Thanks I will give it a try sometime. Especially for new additions. I am especially picky on buying beer in bottles nowadays and favor ones with labels that soak off clean.

I don't have bottle labels because I don't like peeling them off before bottling each time, but I do have a couple of coaster designs for use once the beers are in glasses and ready for consumption.

Like to hear about your experience. Maybe I can use it in my Amber recipe

I like Briess malts too and try to brew Wisconsinibly despite being in Tennessee. Have wanted to give their Crystal Red malt a try if I'm able to find a distributor. As others have observed your malt bill is pretty complicated. I would look to simplify it with fewer malts that get the job done.

My last Tripel used BE-256 and turned out great. It was an extract based recipe. I'm still sitting on 30 bottles since 2022 as it goes down slowly by the fireside and I only have tolerance for 1 at a time. I have aspirations to try and repeat this with all grain some day but really need to...

0.04 mill gap worked well for me on my inagraual brew, 1.063 ipa with Briess Heritage malt . Not much hull bits outside of the basket and 63-64% efficiency. Previously I was getting something like 57 to 59% with store milled grain. Good to be able to start off with predicted preboil gravity...

Awesome brewday. Process went smoothly, no mishaps w 63% efficiency. 1st use of Spike grain mill, @ 0.04. 5.5 gallon Heritage IPA w/ cluster hops, ~43 ibu's. OG, 1.063 & nice color..
