PianoMan Offer:

Peach-ish Berliner Weisse - 4% Brewed with Wyeast Berliner Weisse 3191. Very little hops brewed on the side. Added peaches at day 2 fermentation. I didn't carb but later threw a couple of carb tablets into a few bottles. You will get a carbed version which seems better. Happy with this first attempt.
No Boil Porter - 5% Grains added at 120F and heated to 180F then started cooling. Hops boiled on the side. Safale - 04 used. It's about 2 months kegged and starting to come around.
No Boil "Exquisite" Hefeweizen - 5.5% Another no heat up brew. Boiled hops on the side. Added DME Wheat and Golden to room temp RO water, with some gypsum and Calcium Cloride. White Labs 300 Hefe yeast used. Afro_lou gave it it's name.
Peach Melomel - 11% 5lbs honey, 1.75 gallons RO, peaches and EC1118 Champagne Yeast used. 100% Fermentation so brewed another batch with D47 and blended. It's a bit carbed and little peach but happpy with 1st results.

SoCo Homebrew Soured 512 Pecan Porter - 7% This was just discomered on 10-16. The LHBS dudes made a couple of batches of Austin's own 512 Pecan Porter. One batch had gotten soured. It was surprisingly really really good, think Jester King. They filled a 12oz bottle for me... actually for YOU!

Blackdirt_cowboy Offer:

Kolsch - 5.8% 3 SRM 30IBU Refreshing lawnmower beer. Brewed in late August.
Octoberfest- 4.8% 11 SRM 21 IBU This one didn't attenuate as well as I had hoped. FG was 1.020, but it's not too sweet. Easy drinker with toasty malt notes on the finish. Brewed in August and lagered until now.
Rauchbier Eiche - 9% 15 SRM 35 IBU This is my take on Schenkerla's smoked dopplebock. Made with home smoked Munich malt smoked with post oak wood. Smoky, malty, and hoppy. Brewed in February and lagered until now.
Milk Stout - 5.1% 21 SRM 32 IBU This one is based off the 1936 version of the English milk stout, Mackeson. I'm carbing it up now, so no tasting notes. The FG sample tasted really good though. I'm excited for this one. Brewed late September, so may need some aging.

pizza boy? you a hbg guy? I lived in Mechanicsburg but now nepa based.

Actually I was a NEPA guy but now I’m down here. Between Harrisburg and York. About 25 min from Pizza Boy. The owner of Pizza Boy is a NEPA guy from Hazleton.

 

[madscientistbrewNq]

oh yeah I knew al and the als of Hamden staff quite well..... probably too well.... you got to order the hot hot hot and a good old sunny side or a hop tart or any of their sours (not to be confused with new belgiums hop tart if I recall)

well at least that was my thing...

I’ve had the hop tart. Huge fan. I’m fortunate the wife and my boys love going there so every time they ask I’m like let’s go! I will have to try the hot hot hot. I’ve got sunny side in the fridge right now! Might have one. The next time your down here you have to check out Mellow Mink on the Carlisle Pike in Mechanicsburg they just opened and have solid beers.

Not sure where your at up there but Conyngham Brewery in Bloomsburg is excellent. Simply Homebrew shop in Drums is good. Pete is a great guy. That is where I got my start. Also there is the LCB Homebrew club. There’s a bunch of good guys in there if your interested.

 

[madscientistbrewNq]

yeah live north of Scranton more or less Barren in terms of good breweries so off to the hudson valley area I go roughly every 2 months ... I do plan to hit up mellow mink he was just starting when i moved last year... he pourex at one of the beer events I was competing at... south county is near you sort of... their cosmic nod probably one of my favorite pales of late...

I grew up about 45 min south of you. Attended University of Scranton for a semester and needed a break from religious education and left for PSU!

South County is solid and yes I have access to it. Collusion in York has solid brews and they just started canning this week.

Your not to far from the Finger Lakes. That’s always a great time.

 

[madscientistbrewNq]

yeah went to Wilkes u never thought I'd be back but here I am. yes collusion
was another one that came to mind but central pa has them popping up everywhere these days.... most of my time is spent over at equilibrium these days when I'm willing to go an hour otherwise down to sabatinis I go which is still 45 mins in hope of some tired hands being on tap or pizza boy stouts or sours.

He is on the clock. You must be the one tipping them back too quickly.

 

[TwistedGray]

Thought it was 8pm EST, no?

 

[Blackdirt_cowboy]

Yep. 8 pm. But he’s first pick, so I guess technically he’s on the clock. He just gets a longer clock than the rest of us.

 

[Scturo]

Ha, Having my first now. Just looking forward to this round. First choice is the toughest.

 

[TwistedGray]

Mine is the easiest I'll just take whatever I get...should be great no matter what

 

[madscientistbrewNq]

ha I was thinking well he's right sooo does that mean we can technically pick sooner.... ie if he picks now and 2nd pick choses 5 mins later can I go and go back to focusing on fantasy football

I have 3 particular guys in mind but they all look good...

 

[jason613]

@jason613 and @jerbrew still waiting on offers. I'll give it a minute and then post the offers I do have.

If I can still be in,

My offers are (all grain recipes)

Slow Ride Clone - Session IPA
Oud Bruin - Flanders Red Ale
60 Schilling Smoky Scotch Ale
Hoppy Wheat Pale Ale, I call it Gumball Thoughts
Also a bag of spent grain dog treats!

 

[TwistedGray]

Talk about last minute

 

[Blackdirt_cowboy]

I was hoping to get to brew this weekend and have another beer to add to my offering, but it just didn’t work out. I may have a couple of other extras in the “adult beverage” category I can throw in, all home made, of course.

 

[madscientistbrewNq]

I'm strongly considering a semi local craft beer offering with the homebrew so don't beat yourself over not brewing a beer this week ...

meanwhile planning a Nordic farmhouse for next week... I have to try the hornidal kveik from omega.

what is the thought on a kveik Brett blend with boysenberry.... plan to split a 5 gallon batch the other 3ish gallons with an ipa likely enigma, denali, nelson, and dry hopped with citra or galaxy


if I could get my hands on juniper I would go more legitimate nordic but wife wants an ipa and I want to do another Brett secondary brew so we may have to compromise. brut ipa will have to wait

 

[Blackdirt_cowboy]

I just pulled a pint of the rauchbier Eiche that I’ve had lagering since February. The lagering phase has really smoothed the rough edges out. And at 9%, it hides the alcohol well. Whoever picks this one, be careful, it’ll sneak up on you in a hurry.

Peach-ish Berliner Weisse - 4% Brewed with Wyeast Berliner Weisse 3191. Very little hops brewed on the side. Added peaches at day 2 fermentation. I didn't carb but later threw a couple of carb tablets into a few bottles. You will get a carbed version which seems better. Happy with this first attempt.
No Boil Porter - 5% Grains added at 120F and heated to 180F then started cooling. Hops boiled on the side. Safale - 04 used. It's about 2 months kegged and starting to come around.
No Boil "Exquisite" Hefeweizen - 5.5% Another no heat up brew. Boiled hops on the side. Added DME Wheat and Golden to room temp RO water, with some gypsum and Calcium Cloride. White Labs 300 Hefe yeast used. Afro_lou gave it it's name.
Peach Melomel - 11% 5lbs honey, 1.75 gallons RO, peaches and EC1118 Champagne Yeast used. 100% Fermentation so brewed another batch with D47 and blended. It's a bit carbed and little peach but happpy with 1st results.
Blackberry Hard Lemonade - 5.8% My usual hard lemonade with fresh blackberries and a bit of extract. It's aging very well.
SoCo Homebrew Soured 512 Pecan Porter - 7% This was just discomered on 10-16. The LHBS dudes made a couple of batches of Austin's own 512 Pecan Porter. One batch had gotten soured. It was surprisingly really really good, think Jester King. They filled a 12oz bottle for me... actually for YOU!

Got a couple of "on deck" brews which you may get if all turns out well.

Blackdirt_cowboy Offer:

Kolsch - 5.8% 3 SRM 30IBU Refreshing lawnmower beer. Brewed in late August.
Octoberfest- 4.8% 11 SRM 21 IBU This one didn't attenuate as well as I had hoped. FG was 1.020, but it's not too sweet. Easy drinker with toasty malt notes on the finish. Brewed in August and lagered until now.
Rauchbier Eiche - 9% 15 SRM 35 IBU This is my take on Schenkerla's smoked dopplebock. Made with home smoked Munich malt smoked with post oak wood. Smoky, malty, and hoppy. Brewed in February and lagered until now.
Milk Stout - 5.1% 21 SRM 32 IBU This one is based off the 1936 version of the English milk stout, Mackeson. I'm carbing it up now, so no tasting notes. The FG sample tasted really good though. I'm excited for this one. Brewed late September, so may need some aging.

I'll preface this by saying these are all underway. Closest to being finished is the cream ale which is cold crashing. I may take a month to ship but I likely will have a farmhouse ready by then too.

Brews coming soon and likely to make an appearance- RIS aged in a JD barrel (if permitted, collab brew/blend (5 homebrewers brought their fermented RIS under certain guidelines) secondary to it being a 50 gallon barrel. Sorry I do not brew on a 50 gallon system...) and a Huell Melon Helles Lager.
