HB Blonde
My sister has asked me to brew up a 'spring tasting' beer for a party she is having May 16th. Anyone have any suggestions for something i can 'grain to glass' in the 25 days i have? I can't brew this weekend as i'll be out of town. I've done Biermuncher's Blonde in that time. I was thinking maybe a hefe, but have not done one that fast. Any recipes would be appreciated. I will force carb and can get that done in 24-36 hours.

I would have said a hefe too. Mine was ready to bottle in 14 days and I could have bottled sooner if I would have checked FG more often.
Another vote for hefe, but put some pineapple juice in the keg with the beer. Drives the womens crazy
either of you have a recipe to share?
Pineapple Juice sounds great. how much do you add?
Finally off shift. Enjoying this as I relax. It's F'n amazing! I challenge those who say they don't like dark beer to try it. There is no way they can say it's gross. Deeeeeeeelish. Wish this came to ohio. We have Edmund Fitzgerald though, so take that. View attachment 193819

My recipe is super simple. 50/50 wheat and either 2row or pilsner ( your preference), traditional German hop like hallertau to around 15 ibu and then slightly under pitch the yeast to bring out more of the esters. Ferment and add 2 qts pineapple juice (I prefer Langers) to the keg and let it sit at room temp about a day before sticking in the fridge to carb so the yeast takes a little sweetness out of the juice.
Mine was simple, 66% german wheat malt, 33% pilsner. I always add a 1/4lb carafoam and 1/10 lb rice hulls to all my batches as well, even with this much wheat. Then just .75oz hallertau at 45 and .25oz at 15. I used 3068.
Awesome. i just whipped up a recipe combining both your input. 40% 2row, 60% wheat malt, a little carafoam for head retention, hallertau hops estimate at 20 IBU, and whatever hefe yeast the LHBS has when i buy it all.
drinking this - but not from the can. taking pictures from this laptop sucks...
Sounds like it will do the trick! I have only had Black House from them (amazing) and really wanna get my hands on that one. I'm hoping to head out there in a few months to stock up.
I did grab a couple of bottles...mostly nugget nectar, though...and a few java heads. Yum.Good beer. Troegs does a nice job w malty German lagers. Hopefully you picked up some of their Cultivator Helles while you were in PA.

Yeah! I'm sure Norm wants to play slots too.
I did measure, I had an inch of clearance even with the trim still on. MY pantry sticks out though and I thought it was out of the way, but it was not. An inch further away from the pantry and it would have fit. I made room in the mud room and it works, just frustrating. Now drinking a nice $4 bomber. Liquor station owner thought it was a mis-mark, so he suggested I get one before it was fixed.
Water. No coffee since I have a physical this morning and I don't want it to mess with my BP.
coff.... is remmy MIA?
The pumpkin and cinnamon tea looks awesome! I'm now interested in trying/doing some.
Sounds interesting.
How's the hot water situation coming along? Or should I not ask.

So long as he is drinking craft beer, Norm seems to be up for anything.
Aw crap. They have figured out a new way to keep us from waffling on buying beers.
"Yes, that price can not be right. You had better buy that $12 can of Heady Topper before we fix it to $26."
Drinking the coffee. I really need(want) to add yet another hobby to my collection and start roasting my own. And Nuke, I will drink your share of coffee for you. I have a feeling I am going to need it today.
