Fellowship of the Homebrew XII: The Purge

[wepeeler]

@wepeeler got the box today! It was properly packed but all the bottles leaked. I don't think flip-tops can handle the abuse. They're in he cooler now, will post feedback soon.

Crap! Sorry man. I literally just got a beer gun last week, and I'm starting to bottle properly. I'll see what I have on tap when I get some bottles, and I'll send you out another package.

 

[wepeeler]

Let's try this again... Out for Delivery, Expected Delivery Between 1:15pm and 2:15pm

Got it! One bottle leaked a little, but nothing crazy. In the fridge now!

That's just payment to the postmaster general. He always takes his share - enjoy!

At least it wasn’t broken like the one you got from me.

@wepeeler First beer:

Style ------- All Citra NEIPA - NEIPA
ABV % ------- 6.1%
IBU --------- N/A
Description - All Citra, haze bomb. No bittering at 60. Golden promise, wheat, oats. Dank, orange, tangerine. Super juicy, soft bitterness/mouthfeel.

Very low carbonation, likely due to the leak. Thankfully, it is not oxidized. Very smooth and crushable IPA. Citra is one of my favorite hops so I knew I was going to like this.

Glad you liked it, but that color and low carbonation is not indicative of that beer at all. Major bummer. It's much brighter and almost over carbed directly from the keg. So sorry man!

 

[TwistedGray]

48 Harvest Ale
Light, fruity, and a very low funk/tart to it

Beer for @Dgallo shipping tomorrow.

So, after all that worrying about my milk stout, I bottled it tonight, and the FG was right...on...the...money. RDWHAHB, and all that. Maybe @fourfarthing will actually end up with some decent beer!

Note to self: The Tilt is for trends only!

I've found that out about the Tilt too, I mainly use it for temperature and to know when something has stopped fermenting.

I can tell, properly served, that it's a special brew for sure.

You’re welcome and I hope you enjoy them.

A gift appeared on my porch! Thanks @aharri1:

Don't let the mismatched labels confuse...that's a trick to keep the porch pirates at bay. Like putting a Schwinn sticker on a Pinarello .

@Atlantatopher Casualty!

Smells good, though! Everything else arrived intact. They're chilling in the fridge now, and I can't wait to try them tomorrow!

How was the carb? I modeled this beer after Sam Adams Octoberfest, which is a bit maltier than European versions. Personally, I love it. Keg is almost kicked

Low carb, I'm guessing the last one will be too, they all leaked.

Anyone in here personally know @Beerwildered ? I shipped to him about 3 weeks ago but haven’t heard back. Just want to make sure they came in good

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Conducting a little bit of quality assurance on the milk stout before shipping to @fourfarthing tomorrow. It turned out pretty well!

 

[Atlantatopher]

Got some beers today! Can't wait to try them them. Thanks @fourfarthing
