One of my home made meads on the menu today. Sadly it didn't turn out that great.View attachment 815128

Do you know what went wrong? I've done several meads with various levels of success myself.

[AlexKay]

HB IPA single hopped with HBC-1019. I’m liking this more now that it’s had time to keg-hop.

 

[redrocker652002]

Just got home from work. Citra Pale ale. Getting towards the bottom of the keg I think. Might be time to try the same recipe but with Mosaic and see what I get.

I assume I've left it on the lees for way too long. It picked up some odd, funky flavours and a very unpleasant bitter aftertaste. I think I'll just leave it in the back of the basement where I forget about it for another year or so, hope time aids it.
I've quite new to meads myself, haven't made anything impressive as of yet. Hope that changes this year.

If you're interested in ideas, PM me. I like high ABV 15%ers myself and have been successful. There's a number of YouTube Mead making videos out there also. Love me some mead!

I hear ya @RCope I recently brewed an old favorite APA recipe and every time I drink a pint I question why I don't make it more often.

A pint of my Five Points Best Bitter clone.

HB Cream Ale while waiting for some cookie dough to chill. Per request, I’m making some sugar cookies with green sprinkles for dessert. My wife and daughter are tag-teaming a corned beef and cabbage supper for tonight.

HB Chocolate Cherry Jolly Stout

 

[Cheshire Cat]

My West Indian Porter , really an export stout flavoured with oak chips soaked in rum.

St Patrick’s Day: Side by side Smithwicks Red Ale and my HB Irish Red Ale. I’m gonna say the Smothwicks has more bitter finish even though the label claims a sweet malt finish. My homebrew (I think I modeled off BYO) has more roasted malt character with a slight dry finish. I was concerned that brown drowned out the red color (red shows in bright light) but mine appears more red than Smithwicks.

All in all I would say my HB passed the test against a commercial Irish Red Ale.

Cheers!

HB Old Fogarty's Irish Amber. Smithwicks is my inspiration, but I don't have one to compare mine with right at the moment. I think it's pretty close + I like it. Slainte!
