What are you drinking now?

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!

Yeah, I feel you! There's *no* substituting for Clusters. It's so distinct and so wonderful. Brewer's Gold is much the same, but Clusters...there is no substitute.

Thanks for taking the time, I really appreciate it!

If I may offer some advice regarding corn, after three years of the Panther Piss adjunct lager project, I really, really understand why the German brewers that set up camp in the Mississippi Valley leaned so heavily on it, and why UK brewers eagerly adopted it.

It really does improve a beer, far better than wheat, insofar as it actually adds something to the beer. It's subtle, but it's there at 10% of the grist--try finding, much less telling apart, flaked, malted and torrified wheat at a similar percentage. I will argue to my last breath that corn is the ideal helper in any grist.

We need to stop thinking about it as an adjunct. It's not, it adds something positive to our beers.

Funny that you should give that last sentence about corn. From my club‘s competition we had some donated ingredients To raffle and share, today I packaged flaked corn to give away to our members, there was a fair amount left and I started to um, encourage people to take more, saying make a Kentucky common, American lager or cream al, and someone said they use some in nearly every beer they make… Learn something new every day they say, and you’ve given it validation with synchronicity.
I’m not drinking a darn thing right now.

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

In case you haven’t seen this yet:


I would be very interested in photos and tasting notes!

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! I'm slowly working my way through the 12BOC brews and enjoying them mightily as the days get chilly again!

Getting a back of the throat bitter. Surprisingly not getting any yeast nor much malt character. Just kinda 'dirty' beer for lack of a better term. Whatever, worth a shot.

Wow – Monk’s Café – First chug is full of deliciousness, that’s how I’d describe this exquisite Flemish Sour Ale provided to We Mere Mortals from the Beer Gods at Van Steenberge in Belgium.

Made in the land of fruity breakfasts, candies and deserts comes this equally fruity and fantastic sour ale. I’m picking up a cornucopia of fruity flavors, cherry, berries, dark fruit, plums and raisins. A nuanced bottle of goodness, make sure this is on your shopping list next beer run at Bevmo.

5.5% ABV, moderate carbonation, nicely sour, don’t look at the bottom of the bottle after pouring, Woof.

This sour even has excellent lacing. This would be an excellent beer to make an ice cream beer float. If only Van Steenberge would produce this in Man-Size 16.9 - 22 oz bottles, these dinky and anemic 11.2 ouncers are for wimps. Hey, why not 8 ounce? Geez, 11.2 ounces of beer, how generous. 3 gulps - get serious!!! Great beer!

Nice lacing. Should've got that beer .. Mine tastes like someone's okay home brew attempt.

Forgot my electrolyte concoction for my 4mile hike in the heat. Strategically, started at the trailhead 1/4mile from PhP helps!
