What are you drinking now?

Tank 7, my first one

Whatd you think?!

 

[coldcrash]

The saison i made wasn't an exact clone, just a 100% brett saison. And bad news on that beer. I used an old fermentor that i wanst sure about but soaked it in bleach, pbw, starsan and it still got infected. I had to dump it last weekend

It probably wasn't your fermenter if you soaked it like you're saying

Well the reason i stopping using it was because i was getting the same off flavor in multiple beers. It was the same exact one that was in my brett saison. It blew my mind.

What kind of fermenter?

Plastic bucket. I got it used from a buddy but i didnt start getting the off flavors till six or seven beers after i got it.

Third pour.

Sounds like now you have a dedicated Brett fermenter!

I have one of those, with BRETT written in big letters on it in permanent marker.


EDIT:

Ah, I totally misunderstood. You mean the fermenter was producing other, non-brett flavors. Well, that sucks but it certainly happens with buckets after a while. I just dumped two buckets the other day after getting a nice butyric acid aroma developed in them. That was from the sour mash, not the buckets, but now they are useless for fermenting just the same.

It infected a 100% brett beer after many cleaning soaks and scrubs, past drinkability.

And BTW, brett is a yeast so you dont have to designate fermentors. If you clean properly it wont infect future batches.

Toss it out; what's a plastic bucket cost? $5?

What's in this?

That 3x Mango you sent me was absolutely delicious.

A light citrus profile - cascade would be my guess on the late addition hops. But this is a session IPA (4.9%) - doesn't hold a candle to the triple mango (still hoping they make that one a seasonal...)

Water before bed - I'm up way past my bedtime!

After tilling the garden up (by hand) planting our tomatoes, finishing up the rabbit fence around it, washing three different yeast I had a hopulence with dinner and now enjoying this awesome can of hoppyness

I have quite a bit of my garden planted, but no fencing. Didn't seem to be a problem last year. Hawks in the area seem to have lowered the rabbit population. But I planted two Swiss Chard this past week...first time trying it...and the stalk/stems are getting chewed through. Not eating the leaves, though...just leaving them. Could be squirrels...I've seen a couple of small holes dug out that didn't affect anything. I'm either going to have to let the Swiss Chard go or buy some chicken wire.

Drinking an hb pale ale to lighten things up and take a shot at getting to sleep early.

Hopped kombucha. Pretty damn good.

13 bucks. Ten dollars cheaper than I've ever seen it before. I'm going back for the rest later this week.

I picked one up the other day for 13 also. Sadly it was the last one

Mainly just wanted a taste, but pulled a gravity sample from my sour stout.

Just starting to brew some bucha, my old standard iced tea doesn't stand a chance anymore, never ending cycle!
I'm going to have to throw some hops in a batch, I wonder dryhop or steep?

I'm guessing that one was a hop tea. Not a huge hop aroma, but the flavor worked nicely.

I was under the impression that Brett was good at defending itself, making it tough to clean and just as hard to get rid of as bacterial contaminants. Maybe I'm overly paranoid, but my regular equipment doesn't touch my Brett beers. They use the sour gear like the rest of my sour brews.

A liter of my bohemian pilsner. Excellent end to an evening of yard work.

I'm the same and keep separate equipment, but it isnt necessary if you clean properly. Themadfermentationist uses any of his fermentors, plastic or glass, with bretts and non bretts and never has a problem.

Finishing an hb pale ale while I throw together a little "Ginger-Mint Bug" for making soda...looked like an interesting ingredient!

 

[BrewinHooligan]

Experimental IPA bittered with warrior and using hallertau blanc and hull melon as late additions. Amazing honeydew melon/apricot aroma. First pull from the keg has some hop "flavor crystals"

 

[aharri1]

Founder's porter and dogfish 90min ipa best of both worlds!

 

[BrewinHooligan]

Some KBS which lived up to the hype followed by some of my coffee/cacao/bourbon RIS.

 

[SFGiantsFan925]

It's no KBS but I grabbed a bomber of Port Brewing Mongo IPA. Pretty tasty. Not as fresh as I would like but still amazing.

Real Ale 4-squared after a nice long late night walk with the husky (she isn't a fan of our warmer spring days). Bford sent it up from Texas in an eMAW.
