HB Jalapeño Lager while brewing an IPA. First extract brew in years. Wanted to pump something out quick before I leave for vacation Thursday due to my family coming to town in a couple weeks. Those mofos can drink some beer. Let's see if extract lives up to my AG batches...

Irish stout for lunch

First beer in a week. Had a staph infection on my leg so on antibiotics. Kicked my Vienna lager.

I used to work on Vietnamese shrimp boats about 10 years ago, and this is the dish I have been raving about since. Couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called. Definitely going to try my hand at this some time.

Typically, I create my starter on Thursday (day 1) so it can cool over night in the fridge beside the yeast. The next morning (day 2), I pitch the yeast in the starter, sit it on my stir plate on the kitchen counter, and let it do its thing til about 6pm the next day (day 3), and put it back in...

Maybe related, but I bought a kit from NB (Irish Dry Stout), and it came with all the grains in a bag, the label said it had 6lbs Maris Otter and 1lb Roasted Barley in it, and there were 2 1lb bags of flaked barley beside it. Didn't take too much notice of it at the time. Then come brew day, I'm...

So, my thermometer failed me. My mash of 155F was actually 147F due to it being literally banged out of calibration (my 2 year old son found it while I was preparing grains and water salts. My wife saw him using it like a hammer on the garage floor and didn't bother to tell me til after the brew...

First pull on my House Money Jalapeño lager. Got some junk from the bottom of the keg and only about 3/4 carved. But. Man. Thats about perfect. Slight spice. Good jalapeño flavor. Light and refreshing.

Nope. Let it ride. If you haven't pitched the yeast yet, I suppose you could. But it'll be fine if you don't. Edit: To clarify, I say "If you haven't pitched your yeast..." because you want to avoid oxygen exposure as much as possible after you pitch yeast (maybe even before if you subscribe to...

That's a ton of trub in the fermentor, which allegedly has no impact on the finished beer. In fact, you want at least a small amount in the fermentor for yeast health purposes. I'm assuming you went something like cool while stirring to pouring immediately into the fermentor? If so, that looks...

4203 + 5 gallons of Jalapeno Mexican Lager + 5 gallons of Irish Stout + 5 gallons of Passionfruit Sour Wit + 5 gallons of Vienna Lager + 5 gallons of Amarillo Pale Ale ================== 4228

Lol... Flyers... Gonna be terrible for a decade after the past 36 hours. Sabres 2.0

Yup. Why I retracted my post.

Retracted. Didn't like my response. No clue. Haha

You can also use crystallized grapefruit. NB sells some. True Grapefruit is another (cheaper) option. I've heard of some people using the True Grapefruit in seltzers with good results. It's like $4 for probably 2x what you'd need, so you could buy some, make a gallon of grapefruit water, and see...
