Fellowship of the Homebrew IX: Better Bring Beer Because Birthday Boys' Bellies Be Bone-dry

[GnenieGone]

While we're conveying our issues. Sampled mine while in the bottles and spit it back into them to ensure proper fill volume. Alcohol should kill anything I introduced. [emoji6]

 

[TwistedGray]

It's gotta be unanimous for Tuesday otherwise the original day sticks...but someone may have to be the boss for that day if so.

PS: the sour

 

[Dgallo]

Tuesday the 3rd works for me

 

[fourfarthing]

Fine here on Tuesday

 

[aharri1]

That works for me. We're supposed to get a hurricane here in Orlando on tuesday night or Wednesday morning

That'll prove you resolve! I see it'll be nothing like the 50in of rain Harvey dumped on us so should be good.

 

[GnenieGone]

But seriously..you and your family need to find another home. We got extra beds in Austin if you need one. Comes with a keggorator. I'm serious. These frakking hurricanes are the real **** PM me if you need a free beer palace to hang...or anyone else for that matter.

 

[afro_lou]

Obviously you never picked @afro_lou! [emoji16] @fourfarthing looks like Speedy Gonzalez compared to the West Cost Man. Always worth the wait I might add.

Hey! I resemble that remark.

 

[aharri1]

Right on ! Thanks man. It's really slow moving right now which isn't good, but it should lose power once it gets to central Florida. We are an hour from Tampa.

Wrong group. Oops! Oh well. I guess that's a good preview for the peach version lol.

 

[GnenieGone]

How many folks forgot they even signed up for this round?? [emoji6]

Sorry for the late notice. I'm bowing out of this round.

 

[TwistedGray]

We need @ehk089 to report in whether today is okay or not...sorry been offline the last few days.

 

[TwistedGray]

If @ehk089 replies with the okay, we will run it today at 6pm EST; however, if he doesn't check in today we will put it off until Thursday. If that happens, we need a volunteer to run it as I'll be away.

Note: I am almost inclined to run it today regardless considering that EHK has the last pick, but I posted otherwise, so we'll have to stick with that.

@JCasey1992 offer

• Top Of The Order Porter W/ Hazelnut, Chocolate, and Vanilla [American Porter]
American Porter with chocolate flavoring, hazelnut flavoring, and pure vanilla extract added at packaging. This recipe was the first dark beer I’ve made that I actually enjoyed. I not only liked it though. I loved it! It was so good that when we lost the first one to the bottom of the keezer due to a leak, I had to brew it again. Since then, I try to keep it on tap at all times and it always goes fast!
ABV - 6.4%
IBU - 42
SRM - 28.5

• 5280 Stout W/ Coconut, Almond, and Chocolate [Milk Stout]
A solid milk stout. I added almond flavoring, chocolate flavoring, and a coconut/rum tincture at packaging. The coconut doesn’t show through like I’d like it but it’s still pretty tasty.
ABV - 5%
IBU - 36
SRM - 40

• Hopping Mad Pale Ale [American Pale Ale]
A hoppy Pale Ale with Cascade, Mosaic, and Citra hops. Nothing fancy here but still a great beer for a hot summer day.
ABV - 5.6%
IBU - 36
SRM - 6.1

• Peach Hat Trick Hefeweizen [German Weisbier]
My basic German hefeweizen recipe with peach flavor added. While I don’t know if it’s necessary, I performed an extensive step mash on this one with rests at 109, 122, 144, 153, and 168. The final product is an easy drinking weisbier with a nice refreshing peach flavor that isn’t overbearing. I intentionally underpitched the yeast to get the ester profile I wanted and this time I think I finally nailed it!
ABV - 5.1%
IBU - 11
SRM - 3

@TwistedGray offer

A six pack of of hard ciders (all hovering around the 5-6% ABV range
• Rooibos tea (pour through small cocktail strainer and/or BIAB if you have one)
• Plantain tea (same as above - note: this is not the fruit but the plant)
• Spiced (cinnamon, cloves, ...)
• Lacto x2 (lactob. and lactose - low doses on both)
• Pomegranate
• Black Cherry

Non-ciders
• Pluot sour (This was made using the co-pitch method, lightly soured - very approachable. It will be bottled next week after being on the pluots for a month. It had an extremely low ABV, as in 1% or less. You wouldn't know it was "non-alcoholic" unless I told you though...mouthfeel is good as is the sour level for being that low ABV.)

• 1776 Ale (This pale ale was brewed on July 4th, and is only 3% ABV - very quenchable. All amarillo hops plus about 1.5lbs of frozen, picked-by-me apricots for about three weeks. May or may not include - some are a bit over carbonated due to fruit getting into the bottle. I'll see what I have...)

So when is this going down?

Waiting game now

 

[TwistedGray]

What an amazing colour.

Would you share the recipe?

Sure...I will post it in the recipe section...not many low ABV recipes there anyways, so maybe some interest from others. I'll tag you when it's up.

I plan to send you an updated list of more HB items to your inbox shortly. Had some beers get done that I didn't think would be ready yet!

 

[DrGMG]

I'm interested. Been brewing since 2015, aharri1 can vouch for me. I'm currently in Clermont, Florida.

It's likely too late for this one considering it is running in a few hours from now. I don't think it would provide the participants enough time to review your offer and the others; however, follow this thread. @TBC will post up at some point the link to the next homebrew trade...usually a few weeks after this one is done and people have shipped out their beers.

 

[DrGMG]

Thanks

 

[GnenieGone]

So sorry everyone. Had an emergency visit to the hospital. Grandson is back home now recovering. So, to make amines I'm going to do a random pick later in the evening with all participants. Winner gets my package. Haven't gone through the thread yet but hope all had a great time!

Never mind....looks like I can join back in!! Woot Woot! Just put me in last. @TBC
