What are you drinking now?

[AlexKay]

Roast barley tea, iced. Taking a little break from alcohol, I’m afraid:

 

[grampamark]

Amber Ale, kegged yesterday. Almost carbed.

 

[lawdawg]

Outstanding

 

[j1laskey]

Sundays at Tributary after a MTL release is always special.

Got my 2 bottles of MTL spring 2023!!

Pretty light SRM for an amber, but it looks good (esp after swepping a silo clean for loading)

 

[balrog]

Having a @Miraculix classic english ale whilst preparing to make a @Yooper 's haus pale tomorrow (finishing with Talus rather than Cascade)

 

[Miraculix]

Steifer Grog.

Hot water, (Wood's Old Navy) rum, sugar and a dash of powdered ginger.

 

[RCope]

HB Malt Gems Pilsner, first pour. Needs to clear, but otherwise excellent

 

[beermanpete]

Hotel beer

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Really well done SIPA. Mouthfeel is like a 8%er. Nice citrus/stonefruit presence. Only 4.5%

Celebrating a successful solo bottling adventure of ten gallons of California Common! I can't pay my back so I cracked a tall boy instead

 

[camonick]

HB Irish Stout
I really wish this was better.

 

[Rish]

Tasty Oberon American wheat ale.

 

[grampamark]

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Nothing to write home about but light for a warm evening.

For a wheat that's pretty clear

For a wheat that's pretty clear

Time and gravity will do that. It’s been in the keg for about a month.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Multi tasking down in the office.

Should be drinking Pepto instead of Vitamin Sea Brewing watching the Bruins

Other monitor? Watching livestream of a project I worked on. Always something going on. Last one natives down in the Amazon made the payload retreat from launchpad due to protests. This one? New rocket and a lightning strike last week

Was going to set a 4 pack aside to try one each year but decided to crack one early to celebrate completing a weekend working Indy. I really like this brew: malty, dark fruit, caramel, not too boozy. Good stuff!

(Cream de) Lemoncello from earlier today.

There is some coagulation with the heavy whipping cream but it's not bothering me. Probably need to have the sugar content between 1/2 and 3/4 cups though. 1/2 is a bit too little. I think 1cup of the Everclear lemon mixture per750ml is too much also. I'll also use or make alkaline water for the next batch in attempt to smooth out the mouthfeel.

Have a plan for the next batch but I still have 4 of these left....

I think you may be running into what happens with egg nog. I'm sure if u Google egg nog curdle/clotting you'll find the scientific process going on. What you want to do is add your booze into the cream. Not your cream into the booze. It also happens when the abv is too high

Thank you sir for a starting point to research!

It's probably more visible in lemoncello but it took a while for it to settle the clotting in egg nog. There is an equation where it occurs. My best recipes that ive found, I usually up the booze by 50% and that's when I sometimes encountered clotting. It's more of a visible thing. It didn't effect the taste and a simple mixing smoothed it out. I have quarts of clumpy egg nog over 5 years old with raw milk and it keeps getting better with age. I have no fear as it has a lot of bourbon in it. Maybe push it to the max ratio and add a shot if you want to avoid the clotting and get a good whallop

Leveling the bottom rails has been a learning experience. Completely redone but ready for next steps now.

Vitamin concoction which may or may not have vodka...

Went camping

Then Firestone on the way home for lunch

Then some HB cider after we got home followed up with some wine with dinner

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Epic failure trying to do the liner by myself. Son will be down tomorrow. Working on finishing the fire feature but getting too hot. Ergo kegging beers instead.

HB Helles. Not going to lie, truly enjoying this. May be a hair sweet (corn?) but ultra quaffable.
