Y'all know how to party! Was born in Lincoln 1967. Parents moved to California but spent every childhood summer there with both grandparents. Considered my home state..obviously.

I'm not trying to insult you, but I really don't know what to say about that, other than holy f*ck! I hope when you do have some, you enjoy them as much as I do. They are truly my favorite beers, hands down.

He's from Nebraska..cut some slack!

I have a ball jar with Hill dregs, one with Trillium sour dregs and one with Russian River dregs going. The Hill is about to find some wort this spring.

I tend to “steal” the wilds to get the local fauna.

I also steal alchemist, veil, and triple Crossing for my NEIPAs.

I use Mystic Brewing’s Saison Renaud (local here) for my Saisons

I try never to buy yeast. Unless I’m looking for a Belgian yeast. Then I leave it for WLP500 or WLP550

 

[j1laskey]

Running low on RVA beers. Thank god we’ve got a trip planned soon!!! More beers are coming back

Triple Crossing’s Battle Creek

 

[buckinin]

Paul Hindemith? Agreed! Innovative and interesting music. That sheet music is Prokovief Toccata which I've decided the fingers are not ready for. The Rach piece is the cadenza (solo) from the 3rd Piano Concerto (certainly not the whole gosh darn concerto!!) Cadenza is fast, and a **** ton of notes, but cords..so I'm not as scared?? [emoji16] Ask me again in 6 months!

Holy schnikeys dude! That’s some series stuff!

I like to buy, then breed clean yeasts and get about 4 or 5 brews out of a purchase, but the funky stuff (and I am finally gonna get into sours) I am afraid to build up, so I am gonna supplement with my favorites and start saving yeast from the cakes and see how many generations I can get and which of these three I go with. Long feedback loop though.

If I may be so bold, you need to be more involved with FotHB..always searching for unique HBs.

Piano teacher said if I would have stuck with it, would have the chops to do the entire concerto in 5 years. But family/over time/property maintenance...FML...

Proper bougie Himalayan pink sea salt from Trader Joe’s or fresh market or some non sense.

Smooth stuff!

And it's Spiritual....feeling the Universes's Love already!

Sorry was hoping for that response..[emoji39]

 

[Andrew Hodgson]

What yeast did you use? Another Gose in the plans. Next FotHB will be VERY different from this one..

Used WLP644 sach Trois. Pitched warm and then 48 hours later pitched OYL605. Get er down to 3.08 ph.

 

[mullet6577]

Had forgotten I had this

I’m an engineer on my volunteer fire department and we volunteered to pour beer one year for a little extra money. It was very fun to watch folks as the evening progressed. By the end of the night the best some people could manage was a grunt when they ordered another mug.

 

[j1laskey]

Me too. I’ll be there next week! Hopefully we will be down there the same week and can meet up for a beer one night.

We are there 3rd weekend in March. Our daughters first bday.

It’s a big deal I guess in the Vietnamese culture

Going to be a great trip

I know I know I know. My brewing hit a stall. I am back at it this weekend. I’ll be pumping out [emoji90] left and right soon

 

[Dgallo]

All salt is sea salt..unless it's made in lab

The endView attachment 614474

For the most part, all table salt is, except for Himalayan salt. But there are other salts people will use In conjunction for water profile

Since LHBS didn't have WLP630 used WLP644 for a Belgian Blond type recipe. Have to order it from NB I guess. It's sitting at 80+....well see.

I was going to use a clean yeast and let the lacto shine but @RPh_Guy turned me on to doing a mixed pitch and letting the sach trois flavor come out. I prefer them real sour and it turned out great.

I think your describing my friends here on HBT! [emoji3]

Dad has a story. Apparently folks in Lincoln used to have neighborhood parties..guess people liked each other back then. Grandpa brewed. GP would just pour from the bucket into folks glasses. Dad said once they got to the "brown stuff" at the bottom, that's when people got really "weird". Guess you can read into that from a 1950s 8 year old point of view. [emoji16]

Actually never had a barrel aged beer, but I'm not scared to try. I'm a big fan of Jack Daniels ...

In my opinion, it's definitely an acquired taste. I used to absolutely HATE barrel aged beers but they have grown on me to the point where they are one of my favorite styles. If you get the opportunity, you should definitely try it!

Funny how chemistry with people are different. I'd marry my 1st BA. Main reason I got into brewing. Them and DIPAs.

Crap, was supposed to save this for a friend..2 bad

Always something special about a smooth Brit beer.

Last 2 HB new englands for the night, man the pictures look brown but still decent.

 

[mullet6577]

I need to pay better attention to best by dates on IPAs. This one was Sept. 2018. Still not bad

Agreed. I had a bourbon barrel beer (before I liked bourbon) and wasn’t a fan (wasted $45 on that one). Then started drinking bourbon and can’t get too much of them....

 

[pshankstar]

Two days of fun filled time with my kids and their friends, I’m ready for some piece and quite at night. A cold one and some Netflix to savor and relax. This may be my nightcap for tonight.
Thanks @dpinette2 for another great FotD beer!
