What are you drinking now?

Kicking things off with Two Hearted

 

[WesleyS]

I'm thinking of doing one this summer. I have a solid blonde recipe, how do I best add the strawberry? I was thinking of dropping a pound of frozen berries, in a muslin bag, into the secondary for two weeks. Good plan?

One pound will add pretty much nothing. I've brewed with strawberries before, but never done a strawberry blonde, but I was recently able to try Hello's, very good beer. It had a nice strawberry aroma and flavor without overpowering the whole beer. Perhaps she can share how many strawberries she used.

Its pretty much just oak cubes, but used mostly for aging wine.

Funny thing is, he's turned up his nose at bottles of lite beer before.

A dog with a discerning palate...I've trained him well.

Good lawnmower beer.

I rack onto 5# frozen strawberries and 1/2# lactose. Had 3 of those strawberry blondes earlier, and now onto a PA.

Haha, same here. I did finally brew the Habanero IPA on the 28th of March. If you're still interested I'll let you know when it gets bottled.

I added 3 lbs I think. Will look tomorrow. 5 days tops in secondary using Denny's favorite 50. Strawberries were sliced and frozen. I'll post more when I get up and see my notes tomorrow.

Hmm, do I want more beer...

Edit... Yup hb red ale

That would be awesome. I have some coffee/cacao/bourbon RIS at 12%abv in bottles and will have an all brett beer bottled soon, some CA Common Carbing in the keg, and some IPA fermenting.

I used 6 lbs whole frozen after flameout at 170F and they fermented through primary. I tried yours and it was obviously better. Mine was the extract version, which probably accounted for some of the difference, but I thought we used the same weight in strawberries? Research I did in advance had a number of people suggesting 8 lbs. Honestly, if I were to do it again, I think I would try 4 lbs. I do agree that one pound is not really going to even show up.

Currently on the American Wheat Citra Citrus HB...still tasty! (And overcarbed.)

Samuel Smiths 2013 Winter Welcome. Really malty but pretty tasty, more in the fiancees wheelhouse.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Something hoppy to clean the palate.

Wow. More than 800 posts since I checked this last. That's what happens when I disappear for a week. Drinking a Saucony Creek Schnickelfritz Chocolate Cherry Imperial Stout. While still unpacking. Cramming our meager possessions from an 800 sq ft apt to a 600 sq ft apt is not fun. We were bursting at the seams already. And we could have gone a lot bigger, just didn't find out until it was way too late.

Holy crap the forums gone dead!

2012 Brooklyn Monster Barley Wine, wish I would have grabbed more of this, its delicious sitting outside on this 38°night

 

[mattmmille]

Had one of my strawberry blondes in the fridge, so I decided to drink it. It's growing on me. This batch was bottled on March 15, so it's better than when I first tasted it. At first, I wasn't getting any bittering hops, but they're starting to come through now. One thing that I have learned though, is that fermented strawberries do NOT taste like fresh strawberries. To me, it's taking time to acquire the taste for it; but I didn't want to use artificial flavoring...which tastes too much like candy, to me.

I enjoy them both. Been told that blending the two is amazing.

O'Fallon 10 Day IIPA. Lots of sediment, but it tastes alright.

Coffee. Hello, you are far more patient than I! I hope you get the water heater fixed for good today.

Coff.

Coffee is getting drank by me. The work week is almost half done. Luckily I stopped drinking last night before I could give myself a headache for this morning.
