Trillium lagers. Tasty

Many tastes today at an event.

Home with the hop water.

Late night crazies, blended some double imperial triple chocolate stout with raspberry hibiscus wheat. Hella tasty!

Drank a ton and this is my pic.

My blueberry hop water. The man of the house has Judge Judy on and I wish this was beer.

A homebrew Obsession IPA

 

[Bramling Cross]

I’ll never forget my first home made and home brewed beverages. Success was that it’s drinkable and yes nothing like the satisfaction of having made it. You’re absolutely right, about that satisfaction. This batch had its issues which started before I even pitched the yeast. So this one being better than drinkable feels like I should rename it to “On a Wing and a Prayer“. It’s going to be poured at a wildlife rehab fund raiser. An ale for the masses, but definitely has more flavor than an American lager. Before the pandemic an older woman approached the club, said our beers were the best and all the others she had tasted like panther piss. I wasn’t sure that I had heard that right. Indeed she repeated that.

My dad would be so proud!

LMAO, thanks for making my day!

Tasty Kölsch. Just wish the cans were bigger!

 

[Bramling Cross]

Squandered the weekend doing my 4th 48hr urine test, so that means no beer for 72hrs. Turned in the jugs this morning so it's time for some beers.

Decided to pour my brown porter into a pils glass for some glamour shots. Every once in a while you get one right.

Then decided to share my shame with you. This is a Munich malt-heavy helles that I kegged two weeks ago and it refuses to clear. I've been having problems with the floating dip tube on this keg, I caught it sinking in the sanitizer bucket, took a stainless steel washer off of it, and used it anyway. It's obviously sunk again. Really pissed off about this one. There's a decent beer hiding behind all that yeast. But I'm a cheap bastard and figured one more batch would be fine.

Cheers!

Yup! Took me several attempts and a microfiber rag to get my pics today.

Mind sharing your clone? I've never actually brewed one, I'm far too young to have tasted one, but I really enjoy bench racing everyone's assumptions. As a brewer, I really enjoy (and learn from) seeing how other brewers tackle a problem.

This was my 4th go at it, and - going by an embryonic memory it's the closest yet....

Cheers!

HB Scottish ale. 6 months in the bottle and it's really tasty.

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

Owner of packy recommended this. Dang pumpkin ale fooled me. It was meh. More of a dry cinnamon flavor. Not bad or overwhelming but...

Mighty Squirrel

Now for one of my favorite Trilliums

 

[Beermeister32]

HB Bavarian Pilsner version #6. A simple beer for sure, it’s easy to see why Pilsners became so popular.

Weyermann Pilsner malt, Hallertau Mittlefruh & Tettnanger hops. 1.050 OG, 40 IBU’s 4.9% ABV, WLP 833 Bock Yeast. I snuck 4 oz of wheat into the grist for lacing and head retention. So it isn’t 1516 Reinheitsgebot compliant I suppose, but close, and pretty tasty!

My label originated from a photo taken at the Big Bear Oktoberfest a few years ago. It’s almost time again to pack it up and head North into the Big Bear hinterlands for more German lager in the pristine mountain air. I nearly froze out in the parking lot last time waiting for the trolley, heck not sure I even remember most of it. Each blink the clock ticked 5 minutes, what a night. Good time!

This is my contribution to 12 Beers of Christmas 2022. It got good reviews from some of the participants and people I know, so I entered it into the National Comp where it got railed by one judge as the worst thing he’s ever tasted. My wife who hates stouts thought it was good, at least before I told her I made it, lol. Maybe it was in one of those “sketchy” months that beers go through, IDK. Age does good things to big beers.

HBC meeting tonight after enjoying a Hefe by the hosting brewery. Had two of these and some awesome home brew.

A 12 BOC ‘22 offering. The cherry is still there aged well. I’m sipping it from a taster teku glass that I won in a raffle with 9 sachets of yeast. Yippee!

Thank you!

That's a solid ale.

I really like recipes that I can taste on my mind's tongue. Yours is certainly one of them. No funny business there, it's all easy to taste.

That's good stuff.

That isn't peak homebrew, that is maximum homebrew!

Everyone loved it, except Gordon Strong and your wife...but only once she learned that you made it. That made me howl with laughter.

It doesn't get more homebrew than that.

The people whose admiration matters to you may think you suck, but I think you're alright.

Keep hitting your strike temp, brother, because we're all in this together.

Thank you for the kind words, they're appreciated

fwiw, my earlier attempts were shy on the corn - it's an adjunct I rarely use, best as I recall I've only used it for the Cream Of Three Crops "lawn mower" recipe, so I don't have much "feel" for it. Also, obtaining the hop strains used in the purported classic recipe took a few goes to finally get together - I was substituting 2 of the 3 strains until this 4th try when I finally laid hands on the Cluster and Brewer's Gold.

Cheers!
