Would it be safe to say that Shaun Hill has some control issues?

YMMV, but I'm not sure if I would recommend culturing HF dregs. I could be wrong (and probably am), but I think they started adding wine yeast at bottling to deter people from taking the yeast.

Before the supposed switch, I made a Biere de Miel using Anna dregs that I cultured up. It was the best beer I've ever made, and the only BOS beer I've ever brewed. I tried making beers after the switch, and they weren't even close to the results I got before.

I've heard the wine yeast thing as well, although i would imagine that its for more predictable carbonation during bottle conditioning than preventing re-culturing. Maybe i'll just reculture for one batch to see how it goes then.

Very interesting, thanks for that. I'm kinda working on a house culture myself so hopefully i'll be able to get something worthwhile up there.

Any standouts from the tasting? In retrospect, I'm upset at myself for not coming down. Some drunk dude at Bakersfield squeezed my fiancée's bum, I didn't get home until after 2 am despite my first beer of the day coming at Brew Gentlemen at around 3:30 pm, and when all was said and done I dropped a facepalm worthy amount of money.

Other notes: thanks Shug for the Nocturn (probably my next favorite JK offering after Atrial) and this batch of Lou is phenomenal.

Tusk and grain and Works of Love were my standouts. Honorable mention to previously mentioned homebrew, and regular bcbs which was as great as always despite inbev wanting to give me money for supposed off-flavors.

St Archer coconut stout was exceptional. I've never had coconut prop so I can't compare them but I can't imagine it was much better than this. Grey Monday was awesome. Stillwater gose gone wild was tasty and crushable. Plenty of other great beers but those were my top 3

I reckon I missed quite a few bottles, including the old stock vert, but at least i made it out at all

If you missed the old stock vert, you also missed the extremely mini brooklyn monster vert ('12 and '03).

'03 monster sounds awesome. i got a few old barleywines lying around that i can bring next time.

How about just killing the gifs? Problem solved.

I think the wine yeast because people were using his yeast got overblown a bit. Like everything else having to do with his beer that guy is obsessed with details. Bottle conditioning with wine yeast/champagne yeast for those kinds of beers is honestly just way better and gives you something that is repeatable. The beer carbs in a very short time so your wild cultures/sacc don't have to do that work and can take over during conditioning. Also you can build their mixed culture fairly easily with lab Sacc/Brett/Lacto. Although you wouldn't have the wild yeast that is in it but you still could get pretty close.

Thank you PSUMike for the trade value Tuesday advice. Thinking by December when I'll want to make that trade asking for a plus won't be greedy

Super cereal. That is you on Reddit, right?

Tis. If you are serious, just wait until April for the next MH release. Should be easier then...more available and all. Not sure why December is your cut off point. Just rather arbitrary and bizarre.

I split the allotment with a buddy who lives in Spain and he'll be back in December and we wanted to split a MBP and something equally special between the two of us.

Perennial 17 at Caliente Bloomfield, for those who can afford it. I didn't ask how much it is, cause if you have to ask you can't afford it.

I was in pretty good shape(relative to drinking) this morning. You young whippersnappers need to learn some self control and moderation. Of course, having 20 bottles opened for the taking doesn't help much.

yea the barley wine verts didnt really help in moderating anything.

Any standouts from the tasting?

i found works of love to be ******* fantastic. that stuff puts the FUN in buttfunnel.
Coconut stuff was killer. @data_vat had two spectacular homebrews. May have been my fav's.

Thank you very much. I have some bottles for you. Let me know when you wanna meet up.

I'm not questioning his decision, but I can't help but wonder at times what Liriano could have done as a major league hitter.

Funny this is just sitting with dust in NY. If anyone really wants a bottle let me know.
