We hit 108F today... I live in the desert of Eastern WA haha, tumbleweeds galore. Bought 2x 1.5in TC Dernord butterfly valves and a sightglass for trub dumb, and found that one came pre-crossthreaded from CN. NEIPA is getting dry hopped on yeast.
Was also the perfect timing for the compressor to give up the ghost and me to realize I don't have a multimeter haha, replaced fuses (60$) didn't solve and I think it's the run capacitor. What a week
Alright, alright, the word is out. The guy likes drinking his beer in period-correct barware. In this case, it’s my late 1800’s Hacker-Bräu Maßkrug!
What better brew than Hacker’s current Münchner Gold, brewed in the World’s Beer Mecca, Munich, Bavaria. I thought I'd pour off an ounce to show you the color.... Wow, great lager!
Münchner Gold is a malty rendition of Southern German beer – one step heavier than a Helles, but I’d say not fully to a Märzen – sort of on the order of Paulaner’s current Festbier. Along those lines. 5.5% ABV, terrific, filling and thirst quenching all at the same time - I think this stuff is dinner tonight!
I’ve been called a dinosaur before, if they see me with my mug, it’s confirmed! Prost!
I’ve been itching to taste this since it came into the house. Tasty, but I was expecting some smoothness… you can’t always get what you want. Well, perhaps if one is willing to pay for it. this was a raffle prize.
