Cool glass.
And cool news about the brewery. I am off on Tuesdays occasionally so maybe a short trip to the foreign land known as the Bronx would be fun. You figure out what day you're venturing down here? Snow on Saturday....again.
Just finished a sample of my Arcturus barley wine. Think it's done after ten days. Went from 1.095 to 1.012 pretty quickly. Puts her at right around 11%. Fell pretty damn short of my expected gravity (1.110). Due to a combination of bonehead mistakes I made during the brew day that I hope I don't make again. It tasted surprisingly smooth. Had some great hop flavor and clean bitterness. I think magnum is gonna be my go to bittering hop from now on. From the flavor I would classify it as more of an IIPA than a barley wine.
This brew was a good learning experience and I'm glad the beer is still tasty even though it wasn't exactly what I intended. I'll see what time does for it.
