Southern Prohibition 2016 IPA

Is it well balanced, or does one hop outshine the other? I believe they used Galaxy and El Dorado this year, if I remember correctly

My poor 9 year old: woke up today and was super excited about what a fun day it was going to be. Birthday party at his friend's house with this video game party bus thing, and then dinner at my parents place with all the cousins to celebrate grandpas Bday. Instead he has spent all day puking.

Poor guy! Hope he's feeling better today!

I have a pound of galaxy burning a hole in my carboy. Might make Gordon Strongs galaxy pale ale, but not sure yet.

 

[geoffey]

Poor guy! Hope he's feeling better today!

Thanks. Looks like he's on the mend. Hasn't thrown up since I think around 2am and is keeping down water and crackers now.

Hopefully the rest of us don't catch what he had. I think I'm going to start ingesting beers soon to ward off any potential bugs.

We had that on Christmas day once. Sucks.

For you countertop enthusiasts, I got done cleaning the bar and was looking at this Starsan scar on my Formica, and realised I just blew the countertop slush fund on a new puppy...so wanted to put granite in this spring.

Watching nemo with the sick girl, her bronchitis was on the mend but she has relapsed bad; on another note I haven't had a beer in over a week [emoji31]I'm force carbing a pale ale I kegged yesterday Dry hopped with simcoe Ella citra and mosaic, aroma is amazing

 

[BrewinBromanite]

Omw man, such a bad hangover. Like epic pain

Tough it out, man! My heads a little sore from too much scotch late lat night. Stayed at my folk's house last night. A breakfast-scotch to cure the headache real quick might have happened if I were at home...

I had about 7 ipa, two drams of bourbon, 120 min ipa, raisin DE extra and a world wide stout. No dinner yesterday either. I reverted back to me early 20s yesterday lol

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Having a FBS. Didn't catch a thing today while sitting in a drizzle for 4 hours. At least it was peaceful, and I got my exercise in for the week.

Please tell me you're fishing those waters with a fly setup.

I should have had a half pour of bourbon last night instead of a full, but overall doing better than the average hangover in this thread.

I might have one more coffee before I get into beer. Beef stew is simmering away for tonight. I'm going to start some Colorado green chili after I rack some sours onto fruit. I've got a couple blonde ales going: with different yeasts:
ECY20 - half on figs, half on blueberries
Brett L on plums
Beatification dregs on blackberries.

Sounds pretty yummy. I have a keg full of my brandy barrel aged lambic I need to bottle sooner rather than later. I sampled it last night and it's in really good shape. That's an ECY20 batch from last year.

Have 5 gal of the latest ECY20 just about done with primary that I'll need to transfer over to that brandy barrel in the next week,... Which leaves me with the dilemma of what to do with the 5 gallons I'm going to have to pull out of the barrel. I was thinking it should go on to some fruit. But can't figure out which one...

Ouch. I had a few last night, but nothing like that.

Drinking seltzer water before heading out to run errands and heading to the gym.

Pretty well balanced. I am digging it.

Sadly, no. I only have a 5/6 wt and it couldn't handle the fish or the water. I have a 10' float setup.

 

[Zekk]

Still on the coffee. Might take a nap when the baby goes down. If he goes down.

ESB is sitting at 1.065. Should be tasty in a few weeks.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Having a death by coconut. Likely gonna clean the lawn up since the snow is all melting, revealing a few metric tons of dog ****.

 

[pointcity-homebrew]

Alright, cleaning is done. time head to the market then to the in law's. Shaping up to be a gorgeous day.

Uuugh found the Belgians from last night too. I guess I was hiding empties

Coffee, need moar.



Holy teething batman! Baby would only sleep in my arms last night. Got about 3 hours of sleep in a rocking chair.

Had a good night with the 10 mo old and 3 yr old last night. Both went to bed on time, and had good adult time with parents and other fam.

Been swimming all morning. Another lovely day in TX. This also just happened. His words "I'm gonna get you, bad guys! I'm Batman Superman!" View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1454265197.163983.jpg

Good idea - that's why I drink too. To stay healthy!

He may remember missing the epic video game bus more than being sick! [emoji49]

Haha. Did that a month or so ago with the younger cousins who are now in there 20's, none that have 2 kids to care for in the morning. Remember why I drink in moderation, relatively speaking.

Blame it on the 120 min...

View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1454266814.482484.jpgfirst pull of this. Kegged yesterday. Pale ale super cloudy. It was grey/green in fermentor so I am glad that there is a tinge of orange now

I know peach, nectarine, and apricot are done a lot, but they sound like a good choice for Brandy. Or you could use whatever fruit/grape the Brandy was made with.

Jeebus. How are you still alive?

Sours are racked. Now I'm having this.

Sausage biscuits & water to help soak up the beers I had last night while brewing really hit the spot...
