Welcome from Leeds Point NJ. My process is not quite as dialed-in as yours probably is, and I look forward to learning from your posts.

Two years ago, this was supposed ro be an Irish Red but ended up more like a dark mild (before I was even acquainted with the style). Murky but tasty; it has aged well. So well that I'm tempted to try another batch, but wonder if thus was just beginner's luck.

Impressive

Best for perusing HBT in the morning.

A really delicious Mexican Coffee stout from Cape May Brewing. If I've posted about this before and it's redundant, that's OK; it's really deserving.

It's those minor details.... Just perused the UPS international alcohol shipping guide; seems tremendously complicated. Like the beer or not, you'd probably drink it when faced with the number of hoops involved in shipping it.

Consulted Google Translate and ex-French-teacher-wife to submit a product request to Brasserie Lancelot, Bretagne. Hopefully I'll get a B+ for effort and some info about where their beer Tellen Du can be sourced.

I've been mildly obsessed with finding Tellen Du for quite awhile, if only to verify that it is / is not as good as my vague memory. Not sure how, but I'm going to source some.

Rearranged the Not-So-Great-Wall-of-Beer in the spare room. Dumped the shabby roadside-pick cabinet that I had been using to store my gear, repurposed one of my 13 yr old's Ikea toyboxes. A definite improvement. Whether this will improve the quality of my beer is questionable; maybe. Will my...

Insidious Pumpkin iteration # 3 - bourbon vanilla tincture this time instead of Saigon cinnamon overload. Much better outcome.

Thank you. I did a pseudo-lager with Lutra and struggled to find the descriptor for it that I wanted - flabby suits my memory of its overall character quite well. The only beer I've ever had any luck with pitching Lutra was a buckwheat porter that is my attempt at a regional beer from your part...

Resurrecting this necropost. Having a similiar issue, if anyone else has experienced it. Am trying ob_1jr's suggestion and inverting the bottles in their sixpack holders.

Post removed.

That's a rockstar looking Chex mix. I am absolutely no judge of Apfelwein; cool glass though.

Cape May Brewing Co Cali Common (a long time since I've drank Anchor Steam, seems pretty close) and its Honey Porter (best porter in Jersey, IMO). Cheers!

Bottled pumpkin ale with bourbon-vanilla tincture - 36 12 oz, 2 22 oz. Dosed 4 bottles with bourbon maple syrup before bottling to see how it affects carbing and flavor.

Let me know how this goes. Always trying to tweak / improve my early winter pumpkin ale. This year I'm trying a vanilla bean-bourbon tincture, and (maybe) some bourbon flavored maple syrup to prime.

So if I have just under 8 oz of this mixture / tincture, I was thinking about using half of it, in the method you describe.

Last year's pumpkin had too much cinnamon; a couple drops of bourbon-vanilla tincture added to one of the leftovers smooths that burn out nicely.

Simply delicious, more likely.
