My one week old Double-IPA...It's just a test bottle to see how things are going but I figured I would share.
Who didn't grow up drinking those beers? In the US anyway. +1 on Shocktop. Had a couple after someone left them after a party...ew. Totally agree on your assessment. To each his own though, lots a people love it. I'm no fan of any fruity beers really
i'm often 16 days in bottles before i even crack the first one... it's possible the priming sugar was completely fine, just took a few weeks to carb up. patience grasshopper...

THAT is a sweet looking Pils! Biut dark for a pils though isn't it?
(Not judging, just asking... My Koelsch was WAY too dark for a Koelsch... actually, it wasn't even a Koelsch by standard...)
Anyway, your pils looks gorgeous! What was your base malt/grain? What type of process? all grain or extract? I never much cared for pils as it I find it too hoppy and light in color... yours looks like I could enjoy it...
The head on that wee-heavy is amazing.
Here are shots of my last four brews. All Mr Beer recipes, fermented 3 weeks, bottle conditioned warm for 2, and refrigerated for a minimum of 2 weeks.
Angry Ox ale
WOW I want a set of glasses like that....
I don't stir my primer...I rack the beer on top of it and have never had an issue...how did your buddy do it?
Yea, it is my favorite one, hands-down. I made it with a small amount of single-malt scotch for flavor instead of the butterscotch schnapps they suggested. all of these were also carbed with regular, white granulated table sugar. I plan to get some dextrose bottle tabs for my next batch to see how it affects the head, flavor and lacing.
Yep waaaay too dark, it's a lovely golden colour albeit dark gold. It's an extract with carahell 25ebc (crystal malt) for colour & flavour and saaz hops for aroma. As I said an attempt at a pils, didn't turn out that way but what I got was a fantastic smooth, yellow fizzy beer with a fine saaz aroma and a real light creamy head (go figure). All in all a great mistake that turned into my new house session beer . Neighbour called with a present for my son, had a beer & asked what it was, where I got it and when I told him it was my own his reply "Jaysus I could drink that all night".
