I hope you used Glacier hops!!!

 

[boo boo]

You need to send some of that into Wards to be sure you have proper mineral content for yeast metabolism

All good comments..... lol.


No worries about that, the brew is just about done.

And while I may have been the first to make it, the idea took off.

Oh man I like those bottles.

I wonder if they're pop top bottles? I'd like some blue ones.

They are pop tops.

I know Quidi Vidi advertise it as made with iceberg water but I find it hard to believe. How does a brewery with that output get so much ice? I think they toss a cupful into every batch, just to say there's 10,000 yr old iceberg water in there lol

Well if you ask your F-I-L about the time when the harvested ice was landed in Heart's Delight, I think you would know that they do get a large amount of ice.
I got some of that ice myself and made my first iceberg beer with it.

And I don't think that the production of their beer is a very large one.... but I really don't know. I must ask the owner when I talk to him next time.

But I think that at that time the ice was for Iceberg Vodka and not for QV. QV didn't make Iceberg beer at that time.

I have never even heard of this, I'm so intrigued! I'm no where near an iceberg so my hopes are a bit dampened...

Hey, you Newfies. Not to hijack your thread, but I'll be in St. Johns next week for work. Any suggestions on where to get a good beer?

Shoot, I missed this post.
You still around these parts or will be coming back if you have left?
If so, we could get together for a pint some night.

I clicked on the title of this thread expecting to see pics of some disastrous attempt at an eisbock, like a glass carboy in a freezer that had burst when the water froze into a giant iceberg-shaped mass or something.

But what the thread is actually about is much cooler.
