I'm good at making pour decisions

[No Joy Brews]

Howdy all,

I'm not brand new to brewing, I've got a few brews under my belt, but I'm super eager to learn more and hear yalls stories.

I suppose a little ice breaker is in order...

I'm originally from Savannah Georgia, home of some unique and creative breweries which sparked my curiosity a few years back (looking at you Moon River Brewing, RIP) when a much more spontaneous me made up a 5gal batch of brown ale with barely any idea of what I was doing apart from sanitizing. I failed so bad I packed my life up and joined the Navy to go underwater on submarines and hide my shame from the light of day. Fast forward to today and I've got a coffee stout sitting in primary that I'm excited to taste and my wife's excited to get outta her broom closet. Currently looking into getting a chest freezer as a ferm chamber, thinking of making a marshmallow ipa or a pistachio amaretto stout...something wild like that...and I occasionally have a few months at sea to leave something aging while my wife misses me enough to let me buy some new expensive contraption for my current hobby (be it brewing or photography or mountain biking etc).

Anywho, figured I'd say hello. What brews yall got bottled up for a special occasion?

Ahh yes... the Force is strong with this one...

Had to check this thread out because I was hooked in by the pun. Welcome, Sub Mariner.

All I have bottled right now is a sad attempt at a Flanders Red that tastes more like Florida than Belgium. Got a Weihenstephaner clone in the kegerator and a Patersbier conditioning in the corny keg right behind it. You've made me consider brewing something darker next. Perhaps a Porter.

You seem like a guy who knows his way around some monk-y business (since you like puns). Far as the Flanders Red tasting like Florida, I'm curious to know how one captures the flavor profiles of camel light cigarettes and mediocre collegiate sports teams.

Florida is more like cigars and drinking orange juice after brushing your teeth to me. It all comes back as bitter. I used Philly Sour and Belgian yeast to try and recreate the flavor of something like Duchess De Bourgogne. It was kind of a whim. Instead of a complex sour, it came out more like gnawing the rind of a grapefruit. Gonna be a while before I plow thru 5 gals of it - but I never waste a brew.

Sounds like you spent some time at King’s Bay. Welcome aboard, Shipmate!
