Weirdest brew day for me. I use RO water but all the grocery stores with the Kiosks are closed. Ended up boiling tap water in attempt to eliminate the choromine. Our tap water runs about 9.5pH so WAG some Lactic Acid for the sparge. Anyway, OG came out on target so winning. On another note, HB Raspberry Hard Lemonade with the only Husker game I've attended.

On the 6th day of my Easter Vacation, I woke up. Then I took the kids to school. Then I worked on the projects that didn't get done for work during the regular work days. Then I thought, "Well, FML. This is vacation." And I opened up a HB Barley Wine from 2019. (apologies to Cheech & Chong)

It is really caramel flavor (almost butterscotch?), as it was supposed to be a British-style, lower on hops. Has a nice lemon flavor to go help cut the sweet, but this is definitely a wintry fireplace beer. Other than being a little wobbly, you'd never know it was 13.9%.
