TwistedGray chooses PianoMan ... no IPAs, I win

Thanks man! Very true haha except maybe the surprise retail, unless you don't want an IPA.

I still have to contend with the Peach Wheat and hard limeade/lemonade but pretty sure it'll be worth the wait. To finish off and carb...looking at 2 weeks to ship?

 

[Scturo]

I love labels, but I prefer good homebrew even more. It's kind of like when people say they are amazed at how much I like beer, and I tell them I probably like making it more than drinking it, and I REALLY like drinking it.

Yeah, I feel exactly the same. I love drinking beer, buying labels, and chasing whales. And I love making my own Homebrew as much.

 

[fourfarthing]

Well poopy. I was too busy brewing to remember to pick. Sorry guys. Thanks for running @TwistedGray. I will shoot off my offer soon.

 

[fourfarthing]

I will take @Dade0 , 2nd on my list anyways, and I already had @imaskickboy .

FYI, imasickboy, rocked your kraut on the 4th, it was awesome.

 

[jerbrew]

Do I still have choices? I was too busy drinking.

 

[jerbrew]

This is a hard decision even with only 2 choices! But I’ll take @imasickboy. I understand it’s still available? @twistedgrey

No harm, no foul
No IPAs though, thx ... Bitterness isn't good for dah belly. Super low IBU IPA are probably fine, for whatever that's worth.

 

[TwistedGray]

Correct, which leaves Fourfarthings going to @Thorrak if I'm not mistaken.

 

[fourfarthing]

That is the best possible shipping. Do I get a bonus or reprimand for having my beer picked last?

 

[TwistedGray]

Yeah, you can ship me a penalty beer

 

[Thorrak]

Ack, Count me in the camp of people who didn't notice that the pick was today. O.O

That said, I'm really happy with who I ended up with, so win/win? Again, Apologies @TwistedGray - and thanks for running everything. Looking forward to trying some tasty beer!

 

[TwistedGray]

I did my time, Georgia's turn

 

[TwistedGray]

[TwistedGray]

Boxed up and ready to go sans BBQ IPA - no space in the box, eeeeek!!

 

[Scturo]

I got one more beer to keg and bottle before shipping. Probably next week.

 

[tlucarelli]

Looks like I missed this one, but if there’s interest out there I would like to do a side trade. I won a homebrew competition locally and brewed a variant of my recipe on their scale (20BBL). Cans are somewhat limited but I have a few extra I could trade. I also brewed a second homebrew batch to do a side by side but it’s not carb’d up yet. Would love some NE IPA homebrews or stouts or sours! I see some familiar faces on this thread so if we can work a trade I’d love it. I do have limited cans though considering they cost me $15/4 pack even though it’s my own beer [emoji23]

 

[Scturo]

That’s pretty cool @tlucarelli. Congrats

 

[Thorrak]

That’s awesome. If you want to trade a bottle or two of porter/stout for some of the home brew equipment NEIPA (once carb’ed) I’d be down.

 

[TwistedGray]

Digging the can art!

 

[tlucarelli]

@Thorrak Sure - sending PM

 

[TwistedGray]

Doug's cousin John has been sitting on this box for a week, ughhhhhhhhh!!!! Hoping I don't need to box up another one!

 

[Scturo]

Doug’s brother-in-law Diego, is up to shenanigans as well. Beware of the Doug crime family!

 

[Scturo]

Got a side trade porch bomb from @PianoMan today. Looking forward to trying during this heatwave. Thanks bud. I’ll have your box out soon!

Glad it all made it! Cheers Brother! That's 2 UPS boxes that made it. @TwistedGray..yours will be out tomorrow.

No worries, my box has been delayed a week...looks like I may have to ship a second box, ughhhhhhhhh!

 

[Scturo]

Boxes are shipped, ...again, fingers crossed.

Am I getting more of this blueberry Farmhouse? Awesome stuff, could drink gallons of that!

 

[Scturo]

Glad you like it. You should get another, assuming it survives the trip. That one would be hard to duplicate. I used dregs from Springdale sours I got from @Schecter in FOTD VIi. It was all lacto at first, but the farmhouse kicked in the last couple of months.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

So did the character come out as the dregs?

 

[Scturo]

It was my first sour, so I kinda winged it. I’ll send you the info, but in short I pitched lacto to sour the cream ale wort for a month, then I secondaried with blueberries, and simultaneously pitched US05 and dregs from Springdale sours. And let it go for 6 months. Then keg carbed and bottle for another 2 months. I think the final character is coming from the dregs, imho. Tastes similar to the sours I got in the trade.

 

[TwistedGray]

Was this the bb sour I got, too?

 

[Scturo]

It was. Did you taste lacto, or Farmhouse?

 

[TwistedGray]

More lacto, iirc, but it's been a few weeks. As in, I really don't remember...I don't recall farmhouse though.

 

[Scturo]

That makes sense. So I made a 6 gal batch, and carbed in two 3 gal parts. You got part 1, which tasted mostly lacto, and PianoMan got part 2 that sat 4 weeks longer in the fermenter, and started tasting more farmhouse. Funny how that worked out.

You mean to say you want another side trade, lol. I have an Imperial (what's higher than Imperial?) Cherry Sour in the works among others that should hit fermenters this week.

 

[TwistedGray]

...plus I gotta ship another package to @Dade0...haven't forgot

Ha, Anytime bud. You make some tasty, and interesting brews.

Hopefully we’ll get through this shipping hassle by then.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Everything arrive ok @TwistedGray?

Everything arrive ok @TwistedGray?

Just got home from Davis, but I don't see any leaks. I'll dig into it in the morning and post up!

 

[TwistedGray]

@PianoMan - Thanks for the bomb! How does this Rasp. Lemonade compare to previous batches? Same recipe? Also, should I force carb the Quad or drink as-is? Anddddd thanks for the Pinthouse glass...as I opened that box I was giddy thinking it must be a PH glass
