What are you drinking now?

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Just grabbed a glass to do a carb check on this HB Alt that’s Kegged and going to a fundraising event tomorrow. I love doing this kind of community service.

 

[Rish]

Sip from the freezer of my first HM limocello. Hybrid trad and sous vide. Couple of days in 100 proof vodka, 3 hours sous vide at 135°F, then a couple of more days on the zest. Sweeten with monk fruit so no additional calories. This is really good. Letting it mellow for a week or so, then try it again.

First keg pour of 021 Kolsch. Man I love this yeast. Hate the day when something happens and I lose it. Love a Kolsch w Crystal, love that hop. Has that subtle lemon character. Beats the crap out of the split with S-189. Learned to never underestimate the addition strain makes. S-189 yeast is no slouch! I’m gonna tattoo 021 somewhere when it’s gone.

Brewing a kölsch soon...looks beautiful. Just want to understand, what yeast is it you like? Both? Thanks!

That's a great idea using Monk Fruit. Curious how it comes out instead of sugar.

Buddy gave me this monstrosity of a beer. Experience beer. Comes in waves. First wave was WTF? Second was straight lime. Third wave was finally orange/Vanilla. Don't know if that was intentional but glad it was free.

HB IPA and RiS to round out the last two nights...

I always do a 20g batch of my Kolsch recipe and use 189 in 10g. Wish GigaYeast was still around. That’s where the 021 came from.

A couple months ago, I had a chat with the dude at the pub down the street about the best beer he ever had. He told me about a Brew Dog beer from many years back called Neon Overlord. It's a Mango Habanero IPA. While not my thing, it sounded interesting and a challenge to make.

Brew Dog published their recipe book, and I found the recipe in there. The numbers didn't look like they added up (i.e. OG/FG didn't match ABV, even with mango additions). Nonetheless, I approximated it and now I am drinking a HB 8.6% ABV Mango Habanero (Imperial) IPA. I mashed lower than I should have.
The recipe called for 250g of Mango for 19 litres in the FV, and I used 1 kg of Mango for 23 litres. Still think it needs more. Smells nice anyway.

The burn starts quick, but fades. Think I could handle at most one of these a night.

Was just in Minnesota and Wisconsin a couple days ago and didn't see any Grain Belt on tap anywhere I was. Not that I really like it, but I like to try it every once in a while and it reminds me that beautiful part of the country. I need to find one of those glasses next time I'm over there.

Switching between my Mountain Hazy IPA, that really came out very good and a store bought Hazy Pale Ale called Gummy Worms from a brewery in Sacramento. I had it on a golf course in Auburn and really dug it. I found it at Wines and more for 18 bucks a 12 pack.

 

[Rish]

HB Mexican Cake. The cinnamon seems to be fading, which is okay by me. Tastes great.

 

[redrocker652002]

OH, I led off today with a Russian River Experimental IPA. Damned if I can remember it, but it was the last bottle sitting at the Total Wines and more cooler in the back of the store. LOL. Had to try it, not too bad. I'll look it up

Bathing in the pollen. That's suppose to be a smiley face.

I really want to try and make their IPA. I saw the youtube vid that the aptbrewer did and it doesn't look that tough, but the ingredients are expensive compared to what I have been brewing. Maybe one day. Rock On!!!!!!!!

EQ does pack a punch of hops. This one is a good one. I don't mean in a bad way but I don't think I've ever had one of theirs that I'd call a crusher. Something you could slam a 6 pack of. They 'em hop bombs

Looks awesome! Can you share the recipe?

I will, when I get back to my pc. I’m on the road.

The kids and their friends wanted to go for an evening swim. Why not? That’s why we had a pool installed last year.
