First pour. Get it in ya!

Nice. I'm an ABV guy. I just have to know.

HB Cherry Quad tapped. Damn. Cherry/BA quad mix. View attachment 648735

Whoa! Darn good lookin' brew hombre!

 

[davidabcd]

HB tripel, and it's a good one. This one came in at just over 12%.

Sigh. Tripels are the best. Sugar and malt and a decent yeast--heaven.

 

[TBC]

Nice. I'm an ABV guy. I just have to know.

It was 9.05%. This is 9%.

I won't say who at Masstoberfedt had their own scotch from a failed smoked malt beer but all he used was a blow torch on some oak and soaked it. He got the timing right. It tasted a little green but better than most sub $50 scotches. I'd say try the same with a smoked malt should get u a good flavor.

Sounds good. I don't usually used smoked malt in my Scotch/Scottish ales or even wood chips for that matter. I just had the "bright" idea that authentic scotch barrel should make it taste awesome like bourbon barrel. Well..aint terrible but ain't great either. Chalk it up to an experiment that didn't pass muster.

Trying some of my.6 month old RIS with cacao, lactose, and vanilla beans. 11.5% coming along well. Thinking about added some toasted macaroon coffee

I was impressed with the scotch but I think it's all about timing if you're trying to rush the flavor. Sampling helps [emoji14]

More sub-par stout. Going to try to get it right this weekend. Just dumped 5 gallons of the most recent version... disappointing.

Don’t dump. Share. Please?

Sorry, but it was horrible. I try to drink every batch even if I'm not crazy about it, but that one wasn't happening. I think I've got a good plan for the next version thanks to the help of @PianoMan.

Sweet Jesus..you'll want to pass out from the 11.5% but the macaroon coffee will keep you going like a zombie! Kinda like high school daze puffing whacky weed and popping uppers at keggers to keep going...nice!![emoji23]

 

[orionol73]

Pounded after 7 hours of driving following a full work day

 

[Immocles]

Second HB blonde ale of the morning before heading to sleep. Hits the spot.

Do it! At least, if you can, split the batch up. Advantage of having 2.5gal kegs.

 

[GnenieGone]

Whoa! Darn good lookin' brew hombre!

Thanks! This generation of HBs were the best I've done. Quad, Cherry Quad, BA Quad and BA RIS along with a tasty Hazy IPA. If this never ending deck gets done be back in the brew pub, hopefully next week, to begin again.

Coffee..to start another day of the forementioned.

You can do it Cam! Excited to hear how the next batch turns out.

 

[jaymosbeershack]

There is a brewery in wisconsin called Furthermore that makes a black pepper pale ale called Knot Stock. Its a beer i seek out every time im home.

Throwing some darts with the game on i the background for the first time in the room my wife and I built above our garage.


I taste zero peppercorns in this beer.

If you like pepper beer. Cambridge Brewing Company’s Sgt. Pepper is the benchmark

First little sample of this years Breakfast stout. Oatmeal, molasses, lactose, vanilla, coffee. 9% My best breaky so far.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Still the morning coffee.

 

[GnenieGone]

Pinthouse Pizza! 4 IPAs and a Rye Imperial Stout. Still great @TBC!

 

[GnenieGone]

PhP Tripel. Dry, fruity, Belgiany

One of each of my Rauchbiers

Left is the Weizen with Mesquite, on the right is the Classic with Beechwood.

They look much lighter in color sitting in the sun.

 

[Dave Sarber]

My Belgian Tripel, on its seventh day in the bottle and weighing in at 13.8% ABV. It's easily the lightest color (about 6 SRM) I've made. 3# table sugar, 8# DME in total with 5# at zero minutes. It's pretty dry which I expected once I saw the 1.004 FG and reminiscent of the Belgian Westmalle. I used two, MJ M-41 which seems to leave the beer cloudier early on than T-58 but ferments like mad. Very happy with it. I like La Fin Du Monde and Dragonsmead Final Absolution.

Putting in a new storm door. Got the entire old door removed plus put in a new door threshold. Only two trips to the hardware store--a new record.

So what did you use for hops? Saaz?

 

[GnenieGone]

Feeling loopy, power tools and Van Halen. PhP colab 9.6%. Could use more flavor.

 

[Scturo]

Juice Jockey, Tasty
