Not a pint yet, but it's currently chilling and carbonating in the keg. IRA, this one made with Lutra. This is the clarity of the beer straight from the fermenter, BEFORE finings, after just 2 weeks after pitching. This one's going to a competition on the 4th:

All Together NEIPA that I brewed with a friend of mine via Zoom a couple states over. Super giddy about this one, which I think is making it taste better than it actually is. It is definitely at the level of "If I'm at a brewery and ordered a taster of this, I'd probably order a pint."

It's a Beck's beer glass. I used to live close to thee brewery were I acquired those glasses.


do you know the style name, having a hard time googling/ebay searching.....but it's the perfect wide hips....so and so, with a handle! :mug: i saw one on ebay with the becks logo, but it was $40+$15 for shipping....
 
First pint of my 12% Strong Belgian Ale (using homebrewer assoc's Ale of Asgard recipe).

This turned out GREAT! One of my favorite beers I've brewed. Tastes way smoother than 12% (I would have guessed 8%). Just a bit tart, estery, and then smooth hint of alcohol at the end. I will definitely brew this again.

Guys guys GUYS GUYS GUYS!!!!! I FINALLY MADE A HAZY IPA!! ON PURPOSE!! Sorry but I'm super excited about this one. Thought it would clear out but it looks a LOT like all those hazy things that are so popular with the kids these days. And actually tastes pretty good! Sabro & Citra hops (very late & dry hop only) on a basic 80/20 two-row/pilsner base, fermented on Imperial Loki 2nd gen at about 80-90°. 8 days grain to glass. Husband says it looks like fresh grapefruit juice (he hates grapefruit) and wouldn't hazard a try (what a wuss). More for me!!!

West Coast Double IPA. I think I finally nailed the water profile for the style and it makes a huge difference.

looks like a sick beer man. care to share what ur target mineral numbers were? i'm trying to figure out a new school west coast ipa water profile, and i don't have it totally dialed in yet. Thanks!
 
smidge over-carbed.
It does depend how you pour, right? That looks like some seriously tight foam--very, very nice. I'm not sure I would want to sacrifice that carb-level and go lower with a Tripel. It looks beautiful.
I've even had a low-carbonated beer get away from me if I pour down the centre even a bit aggressively.
 
HB west-coast style DIPA "Acacia" named as an acronym of the hops I used: azacca, comet, amarillo, cascade, Idaho 7, and ahtanum. At 8% abv, it's got a floral nose, dank resin bitterness on first taste, and finishes with stone fruit and berries. It got more bitter and piney as it aged in the keg over the last few weeks.

Thanks, the base recipe is just about perfect for my taste so I just play around with the hops at this point.

I lifted the water profile for Headhunter from Mitch Steele's IPA book:

Ca 163.2 ppm
Mg 8.5 ppm
Na 21 ppm
SO4 365 ppm
Cl 23.5 ppm

I use 100% distilled water and use salts to hit a close to those numbers as I can...it has made a tremendous difference IMO.

hey thanks man i appreciate it. My SO4:Cl ratio was closer to like 3:2 on my last one...might have to give urs a try. Kinda want my beer to be a little crispier. Im starting from distilled too. Get better/ more predictable better results i think.
