What are you drinking now?

[bailey mountain brewer]

Stirred up a yellow jacket nest this morning while trying to get at some hard to reach branches, so figs are out of stock until further notice.

Or maybe this belongs in the "Don't do that" thread?

Sounds familiar, sorry to hear man.

Kicked 2 kegs yesterday at our pigroast, one cream ale and one hazy, guess they were both a hit. This for now after cleaning up

Sierra Nevada Festbier. It's in the style of Hofbräuhaus's excellent Oktoberfestbier, which I can't find anymore. I like Hofbräu's better, but this is very good. It's nothing like an American Oktoberfest, much lighter in color and not as sweet. I need to buy a case of Paulaner next time I go to Costco to compare it to and see which I like better.

 

[Bramling Cross]

Australian Sparking Ale.

Yeah, had me reaching for my Epipen just reading that.

HM limoncello 2.0. SWMBO says she wants it a little sweeter but it's just right for me. I thought I filtered this but apparently didn't since there was zest floating on top and a lemon seed in the bottle. Must have had too much of a sample before I put it away! Tastes good, though.

 

[beermanpete]

Local beer.

It's beer lunchtime.
The Warsteiner was one of many free beers for this week.
The second beer is our Dampfbier. For dessert, I decided to drink our Nürnberger Rotbier.

 

[BrewZer]

After my HB wheat I decided to have a store bought one. Spoiler: theirs is waayyy better! But, hey, they've been brewing about 979 years longer than me. I'm sure mine will be better by the time I've brewed that long.

I love my Wei'ner glass - it's the perfect size for a 22 oz homebrew!

 

[BrewZer]

Twas my very first beer.

Mine was a sip out of a Hamm's. I remember swearing that I'd NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, drink beer.

So my big take away from that: Never say never.

Thus endeth the lesson.

Trying to empty the older HB NEIPA so that I’ll have an empty keg to put the Irish Red in when it’s ready. First world problems.

It's a tough beer, but somebody's got to drink it!

Meanwhile, back at the glass, I finished the fourth and last sample bottle of Frankenweizen's Monster. I declare it ready for the 'fridge.

Welp, the stiff back kicked in so done for the day and simply seeking pain killers. HB 8%Hazy with extra oxygen.

Side question. So going Stainless fermenters but need temp control in both the heat and cold. Also want to add an ability to dump trub and add oxygen free dry hopping. Anyone out there have a setup like this they're very happy with?

"need temp control in both the heat and cold." why do you need heat in your part of the world? My brewery never gets below 55 in winter and that is ****** cold for me.

 

[Rish]

Very nice helles.

"theirs is waayyy better! But, hey, they've been brewing about 979 years longer than me." For me, this is a cheap excuse. Look at your process. Many of my local breweries are learning to brew drinkable beers at the expense of the paying customer. They shouldn't be in business in my book.

The rotbier looks great! Looking for a recipe.

The rotbier looks great! Looking for a recipe.

All malts are Weyermann.
Pilsner 33%
Munich I 15.5 %
Melanoidin 20%
Cara Aromatic 16%
Smoked malt 15.5 %
The Melanoidin and the Munich give you a nice red color. The smoked malt I used to be more style-correct for a beer that has been brewed for over 200 years. The original mashing process took over 10 hours according to history.

 

[Bramling Cross]

The Munich lager thing I made.

Cider bottled 08/11/2020. Abbaye yeast, lactic acid, tannin, Truvia. Very tasty.

 

[pshankstar]

A double ipa (Fidens collab) and an imperial coffee stout at the Richmond (Mortalis Brewing’s restaurant/bar in Rochester, NY).

Wuftah, if Hamm’s was only beer available I would have not become a beer drinker at all! <bitter beer face>
