I almost picked up a Double Jack that was on the shelf, but it was bottled in January of this year.
Mmmmmm...Double Jack. It's been a while since I've bought some, but your post is making me want to pick some up for the weekend.

I think I earned this after my worst brew day ever.
Still not in my store, Asked today said any day
First pull on a new keg of IIPA.
I ain't reading through 11 pages...
having my last Bark Bite IPA. won't be buying this one again.
HB Pumpkin Spice. Definitely even better after it has sat for over a month. Patience is key though I have given away more than I have drank so they got the "young" bottles.
About to get my $5 footlong on.![]()

Finally showed up at my Wegmans, so you should see it soon.
Wuss!
Patience is a necessity! And footlo...nevermind.
Sorry man - definitely sounds like you need a bigger pot. When I was doing BIAB I had an 8 gallon pot and still has to do two mashes when I did my RIS. What was your OG after you added the DME?
Hell yeah! Deliciousness!!

When I was at 2 Roads earlier I was gonna take home a sixer of road 2 ruin and I checked the bottle date on random bottles of the bail able 5 six-packs. All said Sept. 13. I even told the bartender "are you kidding me?" They didn't have anything fresher than that in bottles. What a joke.
Hope you didnt throw the grain away dude! You can still get a ton more sugar from that grain. Why dont you try saving your first runnings and do the whole process again. .040. + .040 is damn close to that gravity your looking for. Hold
Your first runnings in a bottling bucket then add yiur 2nd and boil. Would you be able to fit all the liquid in your pot after you remove the bag?

Someone should be shot. *sigh* Another poor representation of DIPA. Feels like I'm drinking a broken record. If only there were a way to tell how old this was then I might not think it was the brewery's fault. Oh wait, there is. There's these things called printers, the same kind that make the labels that you can use to print the bottling date on the label.

Amen! I had that this summer and it wasn't great so I don't think it is just an age issue.

Nizzzzzle: what's a hot scotchy?
If ya gotta ask.....![]()
Scotch mixed with some hot wort.
My one experience with that was pleasant. Again though i was a few beers in when i had it and i usually tend to enjoy anything i drink when im a few brews in.
Awesome picture!
I'm drinking a Crooked Fence 3 Picket Porter...might have a Lagunitas Brown Shugga' later.
mcbaumannerb said:So, at the homebrew club meeting I had some Grisette (farmhouse ale from the brewery where we meet) and then sampled a bunch of homebrew. There was a Cru with BK C1 (Cantillion strain) that was awesome, a bunch of saisons that had a bitter finish (Gabe - care to guess on that?) a green RIS that was good. Then there was a green Lambic that was overwhelming with lemon/lime flavor (it was way too young to have been there) and a vanilla porter that was just bad.
Now I'm waiting to do some work at midnight and finally decided to crack open Gabe's blackberry stout. Wow! The blackberry is faded but there and the sourness is just right. Great beer!
That blackberry stout sounds and looks great. If it tastes like what im imagining in my head, it tastes amazing too.![]()
nukebrewer said:I typically tend to get more critical as I drink more, up to a certain point. Well, not more critical, but more vocal with my criticism.
Thanks. Enjoy the Brown Shugga' if you have it. Fvcking fantastic beer.
One of my single hopped saisons using Northern Brewer hops. Down to a case now... I really enjoy this one
