What are you drinking now?

[Renoun]

Spent the afternoon biking around sampling as Seattle Beer Week winds down. Made it to Rueban's Brews, Stoup Brewing, The Fir, and Chuck's Hop Shop. Now that I'm home a little QC on a beer I haven't had before before I ship out for an eMAW and a little RIS before bed.

Morning alchies. Coffee here.

 

[Remmy]

What a run. Looking at untappd. 14 drinks. Totally unlike me.

Slept like a baby.

Coff.

 

[Hopinista]

Coffee. On baby duty. Hopefully beer later

 

[BUCKNUTS]

Coffee in the garage waiting for strike water to heat so I can mash in on my attempt at fuzzy's hi nelson hibiscus saison. Subbing Sorachi Ace for the Nelson Sauvin.

After getting 3 seriously infected bottles of Tanilla in a row (6 months apart) and a nasty email when I told them about it (which I posted on instagram and Reddit and got thousands of likes ) I refuse to buy anything from Knee Deep.

I had a similar experience with flying dog. I bought single hopped Amarillo and it smelled and tasted like burning rubber since it was expensive(and I was half in the bag) I shot them an email. They werent rude but I felt the response was total BS.

Hey
Thanks for writing in and I’m sorry you were less than thrilled with The Amarillo Single Hop Imperial IPA. As you know hops are an agricultural product and vary from lot to lot. So the amarillos that you’re used to may be different from some others. They also differ from year to year based on the agricultural conditions to the hop farms. Every beer gets tasted and approved by our sensory team prior to packaging and again at different stages of aging. There were no noted signs of defects throughout each of the sensory analyses on the batch 224A14. Thanks for providing that date code. I hope you give another one of our single hop IPAs a try as they showcase the hops that we use in our other beers. They are also a good source of education as I can tell you appreciate. The next batch is citra, my favorite hop! That should hit the stores around June.

Cheers!
Ben Chambers Quality Manager


Amarillo is my favorite hop I use it all the time and while I agree they change a little from crop to crop as does any agricultural product it doesnt change from beautiful citrus to fire at the rubber plant. Total nonsense.

Is it your first, FermentNEthing? I remember bringing the first one home like it was yesterday. That was 10 years, two more kids and a dog ago. I honestly wonder what I did with all my free time before that day...

I wonder the same thing

congrats on the baby girl FermentNEthing! Girls are such fun- I have two

drinking coffee. Feeding my son and then making my first all grain. Feeling really intimidated.

That is unlike you. You usually drink more.

Don't judge me in brew days and vacation days it's ok to drink before 10am. This is pretty good light, crisp and tart with a bit of that Belgian saison flavor and aroma

BIAB or a tun? Don't sweat it, it wasn't as big a thing as I expected it would be to make the leap. Of course, I went BIAB for half a dozen batches before getting the cooler tun. First BIAB brew is probably the best beer I've ever made.

Congrats Eric!!! I guess that's a valid reason to put off brewday

Dont be! Just try not to rush things and make sure you follow every step and it should be fine.

Congrats on the Daughter fermentNething

I do BIAB and don't see a reason to go to traditional all grain method personally because I make really good beer. Pulling The bag is way less of a PITA since I bought a pulley from Harbor Freight. Best $11 I ever spent.

I'll be there in a few weeks...

What level of scouts? My boy is a Cub Scout, yet. A wolf, I believe (I'm not really involved in scouts other than getting him where he needs to be).

My son is working on his wolf right now in cub scouts too. After no beer all weekend I'm just about ready for one.

The main reason I switched is because I eventually want to do big beers like RIS, etc. and want something that will accommodate the larger grain bills. I also want to be able to do decotation mashes for Scotch Strong Ales.

EDIT: but the score card so far looks like this:

Extract/PM = Decent Beer 1; Undrinkable Beer 1
BIAB = Decent Beer 1; Good Beer 3; Very Good Beer 2; Undrinkable Beer 0
Cooler Tun = Undrinkable Beer 1; Good Beer 0
