New post a picture of your pint

[Dgallo]

If you search a little more you will see that that first iteration was already a winner. In his defense, he has been more than willing to publicly share recipes and knowledge of all sorts in HBT. So I am not feeling a bit irritated that he didn’t share this last recipe. I know I’ve benefitted from his sharing over the past couple years. I’m grateful for that

Thank you, brother.

I asked for a yeast recommendation, as originally I didn’t 34/70 would truly hit the BJCP style guidelines.

And yes, I compete as a Homebrew and have aspersions of doing a small taproom, so I certainly keep some specific details to myself and some whole recipes to myself. That’s said I am heavily active on HBT providing pointers and process details I use.

To be honest I think it’s tasteless to be upset with me for not sharing a recipe I am currently competing, if not in general. Especially after all the support I offer across HBT

Great part about being a brewer is we all have the ability to make award winning beers and I understand that you are actively competing and wanna keep it, i aint mad at ya cheers

I never said anything about you not "offering support across HBT", as you call it. I was merely attempting to sum up the development of the referenced thread because it seemed unfortunate to me.

If that account was was incorrect, then it was an honest mistake on my part and I kindly ask you to correct me. If the account was correct, but you find the behaviour outlined entirely unproblematic, just say so ("yup, that's what happened. why?"). And if the account was correct and you yourself think "yeah, that was not entirely cool on my part", just own up to it: no one will think any less of you, we all don't always live up to the ideals we may have.

But down dismiss any criticism of anything you do as "tasteless" due to the general impact of your activity here. in my view, even Mother Theresa could and should be called out if she pulled a D-move. If she responded "F*** you, I'm goddamn Mother Theresa, you don't get to criticize me!" I don't think that'd be cool.

Just to reiterate: I never said you weren't a prolific member of this community, I merely expressed that this particular behaviour was not a great example of comradery in my view.

So you asked for everyone's input when designing the recipe, and now that you found your final winning combination, you refuse to share it... ?

Respectfully, I think your summation of this account was indeed incorrect. The thread he referenced was specifically for which yeast to use with the recipe he provided and that was simply it. In addition, the comment "and now that you have found your winning combination you refuse to share it?" is also incorrect and made an assumption simply because the aforementioned reference to his recipe was already a winner. Your comment implied that @Dgallo recipe he shared didn't win anything and that he does not share winning combinations. So that is incorrect. He posted it in a different thread started by another person to help them with their NZ Pilsner recipe. That recipe, with exception of the final hop timings, was the same recipe that he referenced.

We are OT obviously here so lets keep sharing the picture of our pints! Cheers!

You're right that we are getting off track here, but just to make this clear:
I never meant to say that any recipe did or did not win any competition. By "winning combination" I simply meant "the final recipe you were most happy with". Not "winning" in the sense of "winning some competition", but more as in "the one that won your favor". Apparently, this confusion has caused some offense which I did not intend. Apologies if that was a poor choice of words - as you may have guessed, English is not my native language.

Nice mug of HB dry stout

HB West Coast Pilsner

looks crushable. What exactly a west coast pilsner?

Im curious too, i imagine its a pils but with more “ipa ish” hops like centennial, mosaic etc etc

that's what I was thinking. Was going to brew a lemon drop pilsner this summer but this may change my mind.

It’s a Pilsner with an elevated ibu level and PNW hop varieties. That said everyone has their own take on it

Pretty much what everyone else has said. Mine is 100% pils malt, lager yeast, Citra & Nectaron hops. Turned out clean, hoppy and easy drinking.

 

[Brian66]

HB Blonde Ale? Came out more of just an ale - but it's good!

 

[MHBT]

Founders breakfast stout, brewed a attempt at a similar beer couple of weeks ago, very delicious even young so wanted to drink the beer that inspired it, A+ beer

 

[mattman91]

HB Pale Ale with Voss Kviek and Strata.

This one is tasty!

 

[ddow229]

A pressure fermented Dortmunder Export Pils. I call it Dave’s Fuzzy Memories because I drank way too much of this on the four years I was stationed in Germany and all of my memories are a bit fuzzy.

 

[Gusso]

Belgian Tripel

 

[Homebrewer20]

Blackberry/blueberry/raspberry sour.

 

[seatazzz]

Needed to get this photo on here before I drink it all up. HB Helles Bock, turned out pretty good.

 

[Drewch]

A bit more than a pint, but I had this quite passable Warsteiner Dunkel at the Biergarten last night.

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

Shepheard Neames Double Stout inspired Stout (Akshually a Porter if you want to go by the definition of yore).
And brewing a Premium Bitter with Challenger @60 min for bittering and 1g/L of Fuggle for a 20min/80c hopstand.
Pretty basic but often basic is all you need...

 

[WesBrew]

Just pouring samples for now but this Cali Common is delicious. 7 days in fermenter, .010. hit the keg three days ago.

 

[2row]

70% red X malt, 30% 2 row with Mosaic hops.
It could use a little more on the hop side and a dry hop would help. Not my best, but not my worst.

How is the flavor with the red X? Interested to understand the characteristics at this ratio, looks great!

 

[2row]

My Amber with too many specialty malts: Caramunich II, Golden Naked Oats, Special B, few oz Roasted Barley and 2 additions of honey. Fruity hops are conflicting with the big body. What was I thinking? A mess of a recipe, but fun and still tasty nonetheless! Cheers!

It's not as malty as I thought it was going to be. Of you haven't already, read the thread on red x malt. After reading that thread I decided not to use 100% red x as it sounded like it might be a little too sweet.
If I make this again, I would add a little of another malt to give complexity.
If you can find some red x, try it out.

Let's get the party started. It's lunch time and beerthirty. So an Italian Sausage/Roast Beef combo and a Ghost Train IPA outta do the job.

Half n half. It’s been ages since I’ve had one

Black and tans are the bomb

Another outstanding Central Alabama Craft Beer. This one is Cahaba Brewing Company's IPA. Another Birmingham offering. As a judge I'd have to score it lower than a typical IPA. Very little spicy aroma and it finishes smooth. It makes a very good APA but comes up a little short of the characteristics of a bold IPA.

 

[OleBrewing]

Well the British ale yeast I used took a while to settle out. And the victory sure makes foam. Really tasty in the heat wave.

 

[OleBrewing]

The kviek 40% wheat is interesting. Fermented at 68 little peppery at first then a hint of sourness. I mashed low then ramped up to about sparging temps so it finishes dry a little slickness of the wheat left over. Good beer.

 

[BrewMan13]

Grodziskie. Very pleased with how it came out. Light, smokey, highly drinkable.

 

[kingmatt]

HB Mexican lager with lime

 

[Beerstein]

Im pouring pints straight out of the fermenter today.

Modified farmhouse style with Lemondrop hops.

very dry. (like 0.992)

 

[Ninoid]

Red Saison.
Cheers!

 

[BreweyMcHops]

Australian Xpa , nice and hazy for days thats lazy. Dry hop 100g Mosaic, Centennial and Mandarina Bavaria 50g each. My own house kveik yeast , fermented the brew for 3 days and dry hopped 4

Matter a fact I got it now...

 

[JaviBrewski]

should be ready by the end of the week. Just have to figure out how Im going to cold crash and then add the gelatin since i dont have temperature control.
