I kinda am lusting over that bottle opener. Where'd you get that, if you don't mind my asking?

@camonick ’s 90 Shillings Clone. Though I never had the real thing, I will say this is a terrific example of a Scottish ale. Great color, head retention, and celerity. Wonder toasted bread and a slight toffee/caramel notes. I really enjoyed this one! View attachment 701827

Thank you very much!!! I’ll join you.

It was a gift from @LoneTreeFarms when we did a beer trade a while back! It doubles as a weapon too b/c it’s solid! Haha It’s my favorite bottle opener and always get comments on it when people are over.

It deserves all the compliments it gets.

@LoneTreeFarms if you're listening, you gave pshankstar a great bottle opener and I was wondering where you got it, if you don't mind?

HB 2019 Winter Warmer. The figs and star anise have blended perfectly into this Belgian Dubbel. This years WW should be ready to keg soon. Truth is I also wanted this bottle. I’ve been bottling a lot of beers lately

@Section1 Copper Ale
This is a really good beer.

Buggered out of work early today to get a head start on the weekend.

HB neipa. Less than two weeks from brew day and quite minerally. Hope it settles down in time.

Looks good! What was your mg and ca ppm. In my experience these are the two that tend to leave the mineral character

That sounds fun. I need to read all the information in the Thread to see what to do.

It’s a great time and really simple. You need to offer 4 beers of hb. Ideal 4 different styles but some offer more and some offer less. From my experience 8 beers is usually peoples offer, if it’s not all home brew some will toss in a well known beer from their area. Some people throw in extra like stickers or glass but that’s not mandatory. No one stresses anything though and everyone enjoys trying each others beer and the comradery

I love simcoe hops and had to get some cans the other week.

Brewed Sept. 26th. On reflection what I said was mineral taste was more likely hop burn.
Somewhat new to building water profile. But here's what I used on my previous neipa, starting with distilled water, and I was planning on using it again for this one.

Night before brew day I realized I didn't yet have my water. Went to the store and all they had was spring water, no distilled on he shelf. So I was forced to use no-name spring water, and I didn't add any minerals.

For this brew I went with:
Whirlpool 170°
- 2oz LupooMax Citra
- 2oz LupoMax Mosaic
- 2oz Strata
- 1oz El Dorado

Dry hop 3 days with same amounts of each. Due to my setup I'm unable to cold crash.

Kveik Voss yeast fermented at 88° when yeast pitched, Finished in 36 hours and ended at 82°
1.062 OG
1.013 FG

Doesnt seem like water issue but hop burn is totally plausible. Especially if you dryhop at Warner temps. For me, in heavily dryhopped beers, the only way to eliminate hopburn is if I drop yeast out of suspension with a soft crash and then dryhop at around 58-60

Made an offer on a house today and just got verbal acceptable with signed paperwork supposed to come tomorrow morning! Scared to own two houses for a time, but hopefully our current house sells quickly in this market.

Thanks @Dgallo I always appreciate your knowledge and insight. Yeah, I was forced to dry hop at around 75°. I'd like to be able to soft crash cooler but my Speidel fermenter won't fit in my full size garage fridge with the no-oxygen transfer kit attached. Maybe when the weather cools (November - March) I can crash on my back patio as temps generally fall into the 40's overnight.

This is similar to my setup....

Sears. Xmas special a while back. Picked up a couple of them for stocking stuffers.

 

[LoneTreeFarms]

I drink alone...yeahhh.. all by myself.

3week old batch but weaker then the previous. @LoneTreeFarms got a good one. Must be a trend. 2yrs now with a nice October swim. Pushing 100 this weekend. Shark Dude loves it!

Different but damn solid brewing. Not sure I could pin down the flavors. Must be the new NZ hops. Starter for the next round of IPAs.
