I really liked it. Just the right amount of heat and a fantastic stout to pair it with.

Think about it, I’m not sure I would want to be the one to test how much CR to put in it.

 

[jimyson]

And I have to say that the glass you sent is now in the primary lineup. Perfect size.

Those Pure Project snifters are amazing!

I stayed away from this thread purposely until now, this sucks. You guys are having way to much fun. I need to move somewhere that has better beer selection.

On a plus note, I have made quite a bit of home brew lately that are coming out pretty darn good to my uneducated palette!! Looking forward to seeing you ALL in the next FotHB!

I drank the hibiscus cider tonight. The nose has a nice funkiness that blends well with the cider aroma. Definite sourness to it. It smells like a Brett was put in there. Quite a combo of floral and fruit. Cherry or plum and apple?

It had very little appearance of carbonation and the color has a beautiful red hue to the copper background.

It has a bit of flatness to the tongue. The tart and funky play back and forth. The hot pockets and ham and cheese sandwich aren’t helping here. That funk is there. Raspberry Apple.

Very well done. I think a slight bit more carbonation would help. I should be packing you up a box of sours for trade.

Thanks for the tasting notes I appreciate that. There was definitely some brett in there. The tartness/funkiness was more pronounced after sitting in the bottle for a few weeks. I think it could have used some tannin to round it out but overall it was a pretty good batch. Cheers!

We doing this again in January?

@RevKev

Anyone?

 

[TwistedGray]

I assume so
Back home on the 14th myself
Going to need at least a week to figure **** out, but I'm in

 

[orionol73]

I'm ready for another round!

 

[jerbrew]

me too

 

[RevKev]

Should we shoot for sometime in January towards the end ?

 

[jimyson]

I’d say so. That gives everyone time to get through the holiday and into the new year groove.

 

[jerbrew]

Sounds good to me

 

[RevKev]

Okay. Here's an update, I am. Shooting for the posting of the new fellowship this Wednesday.. Crazy hours in lab this month prepping for conferences.

Typically we do almost a month which puts us for a touch into mid February for the submissions to be due. Is this enough time for everyone or should we expedite?

 

[JDXX1971]

No new, good commercial beer around here for me to trade. Plus I am too broke anyway, glad to see you guys are living the dream in here still though.

But hey, check this out. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/fothb-iii-coatee-cha-tu-yub-nub.643587/

Whatever works best for you.

[ThirstyPawsHB]
