having martin house kafkaesque. A dry hopped imperial smoked black rye session *takes breath* oaked raspberry sour ipa.

How many discriptive names can you put on a beer

Split a bottle of Cascade Kriek with a friend over an impromptu dinner. Now I have to find the one New Belgium makes.

Smoke, oak, and raspberry? Sorry, that sounds bizarre. How is it?

its bizarre. I do not get smoke. Just hops and raspberry. Not bad for 10.3% sneaks up on ya. Its pretty fresh it was canned on the 7th

Hows it holding up?

Hello hello, finally caught up on this thread yesterday we were busier than a cat trying to cover up nine piles of crap. Looks like I missed a lot of great banter... Glad to hear Cads beers turned out good, kidney stones are improving, and y'all are fairing the snow storm well.

Have you had it before? This are very different beers.

Dag walk, pizza, beer, TF2. Livin the good life!

I should have asked this sooner, but has anyone used 1450 on an ipa? I'm looking for a pretty crisp and bitter forward beer and know this yeast is described as providing a big mouthfeel without being too sweet. With that said, should i mash low to account for this in trying to keep it crisp?

You have intrigued me. I shall observe.

Legion Imperial Stout, thanks Clint. Might not make it up to the bed tonight!

Edit: Still snowing, still on Django.

Double Edit: The beer is kind of like a chocolate shake! (had to work on the statement to make sure no-one could call 'phrasing!')

 

[Qhrumphf]

Had a few Tripels, a few Petite Saisons, etc. Tripel now. Last beer in the fridge. Will restock in the AM.

As I was running the mash out. Still coming down steady. I'd say 6-8" now without actually measuring. Worst should hit any time, and something like 3 inches per hour in patches.

Pretty darned well. I only wish I could get my hands on a 2013 to set up a 4 year vertical next year. I have one unallocated bottle of 2014 left (along with another can of 2015, but I could literally walk back into that store tomorrow and pick up a few more).

That's Denny's right? Yes, mash low (148ish) for 75ish minutes IMO. Keep the crystal to a minimum (I only use 8 oz of carastan in a 10 gallon batch of my (D)IPAs at this point). I've also gone completely to FWH/Whirlpool/Keg Hop for my (D)IPAs. That with Denny's should give you a really NE IPA profile. Dry but juicy.

Mm yeah no. I'll take my 100* 99% humidly summer days over that any day

Thanks for the input. I'm doing 80% 2 row, 17% rye and 3% c40. Rye ipa if you will. I'll definitely mash low tomorrow.

I will take this every single day for the rest of my life if I never see 100° with high humidity ever again. I wanted to apply for a promotion that would have required us to move to Alaska. My wife nixed that idea right quick. She doesn't like the heat either, but hates the cold too. Of course, I know a certain place where it's like that (coolish) all year round, but she's not having that either...

 

[Qhrumphf]

Also I live on a hill, and someone was snowboarding down it earlier. Quite funny.

Was it you?

 

[Qhrumphf]

Just about a whiteout out there now. We're supposed to have 12+ inches by the morning. At this rate it'll be more than that.

On that note, bed time. Up earlyish for football followed by a day of bottling.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Hah. I wish.

That's right in the Denny wheelhouse. Use a bright American hop and you're golden.

Nightcap. Smoky.

Nope, one shop got some and I was not able get across to their side of town. That was probably 3-4 months ago.

This beer is a great palette cleanser/ night cap after that BCBS

 

[slym2none]

I have drank BB' Sorachi Ace before, from their taproom. It has a saison-like quality already that I attributed to the hops. I imagine they will work well in a saison.

Do it. Can't tell ya how the Sorachi and Nelson would play together, because I've never used them together, but I do like the results I've had with them individually with Belgian yeast.

Um, maybe that "saison-like" quality you're talking about is because BB Sorachi Ace IS a saison.

 

[WesleyS]

Drinking coffee. Wishing I wasn't working today.
I expect to see some snow pictures from you people in the east trying to dig out of your houses.

 

[Psylocide]

Latest...not really into all these 'words' so just pics.

How the funk did you get that 2nd pic? Lol.

On the full throttle, kid is not doing well and wife still doesn't know I'm brewing today. Good start.
