Ive got an ESB lined up with some fuggles and ekg. You do one over the other for flavor or flameout?

Ive got a hefty stash of hallertau blanc on hand. I feel like its one of those hops that hasnt caught on too much and Im glad. Its like a more bright and clean version of nelson sauvin to me. With none of the resiny dankness you can sometimes get from nelson. It does pair well with nelson and other fruity new world hops. Its currently like half the price of nelson too.

I didn't enjoy hallertau blanc on its own. mixed with cascade or citra it was great. alone it was a florally mess. I haven't tried NS alone yet though, so I suppose it's a bit hard to compare the two. I've done a citra/amarillo/NS that was one of my favorite combos.
 

Yeppers. Got some with your name on it P. Just need to get the finger out and bottle a sixer this weekend.

Could I make that with Kolsch yeast and get something similar?

I don't know if you could. I couldn't.
In my limited experience Kolsch yeast like WLP029 makes things taste like a Kolsch. Not unpleasant but not like a lager to me.
 
Out sick today, streamed The Force Awakens since I still hadn't watched it, and now on my like 6th high gravity bomber of the afternoon while watching Arsenal/West Brom. Of course I can't breath nor taste/smell a damned thing with this actual stupid illness but it is what it is.

Whiskey will cure what ales 'ya.
 
I havent had the guinness one, but had a can of the sam adams one from a friend and it wasnt good at all. The nitro just makes the awful hop character stay on your palate longer. It ruined the drinkability of it

That being said, maybe if I tried an actually good IPA, that isnt very bitter at all, on nitro it may be interesting

I stumbled on a Q(s)OTD if anyone has 5min to waste. I was pretty skeptical at first given the nature of most quizzes, but I could tell whoever made it was pretty knowledgeable
What kind of homebrewer are you?


Result: Cocky Brewer
Calculations are for wimps, you wing it and your beer always comes out awesome, and you do say so yourself (online, in bars, and on the T shirts you've had made).
'Instinct brewing' is the way forward and you've already trademarked that name for your new brewery. Your bottle labels will definitely feature your face and will be seen in the finest beer retailers soon, maybe.


I do like the name Instinct Brewing. :)
