What are you drinking now?

How’d it turn out?

Super fruity and quite "dry" with a FG of 1.012. But at 10.2% abv the alcohol sweetness balances it out nicely. No hop burn at all, and surprisingly crushable for a triple.

Another Märzen. I always like to try several commercial versions to compare mine to when I get a chance. I like this one better than the other.

Looks great man! Glad you enjoyed it. I haven’t been able to get mine to break the 1.018 mark. I like it currently but I’d love to see it finish a tad drier so I felt like I could have 2.

I got 84% attenuation with A24 Dryhop. But it's about the 5th generation and despite my best efforts I think I've selected out the more attenuative component of the blend...

How was the lienie toasted bock? I wanted to snag a 12er but I got distracted by sale items instead

We need a beer "Glamour Shots" thread. I've seen some amazing beer photos posted by you guys

That looks sexy! Do you and @Dgallo mind sharing the recipe? I would like to give a TIPA a shot after I do my imperial stout later this month.

I liked it. Nice and malty, if that’s your thing. I didn’t really get the “toasted” part, but I’m not as much a beer taster as a beer drinker.

 

[pshankstar]

Same IPA but with yeast from Other Half built up from dregs.
I think I have some hop particles stuck in my keg poppets. Ugh! Even with flow control faucets (just cleaned before kegging), it foams like crazy no matter what. I tried to bottle the beers earlier this week with my neighbor, same problem with the beer gun even if I dropped the pressure to move the beer slowly. Just foam all the way down the beer line.
I hate to take the poppet off and clean it but I may not have a choice. I would do a close transfer to another keg but it’s just foam it all into the new keg.
The damn struggles of a home brewer!

King Julius! The hype is real!

Local stuff. The hops really pop.

Beautiful evening here, still 70 degrees out. Enjoying a Peanut Butter Chocolate Milk Stout from Lost Coast, while sitting out by the fire.

Bayern Oktoberfest. Compare this one to the Leinie’s that @camonick posted earlier.

Looks like quite a color difference.

Yeah. Bayern makes another Märzen which is a seasonal brew they call “Groomer” (has a picture of a ski trail groomer on the label). I don’t have a picture in the same lighting, but it’s not quite as dark and not as malty as the Oktoberfest.

 

[Section1]

Homebrew London Porter. Finished cleaning everything up after brew day. Had a late start but happy to get er done.

 

[camonick]

Hello, old friend.

 

[grampamark]

Brown Ale keg kicked. Guess I’ll have another Weizenbock for a nightcap.

 

[beermanpete]

Still gettin' Stoned.

 

[grampamark]

Lunch beer. Short pour of HB Dunkel Weizenbock.

 

[Section1]

Homebrew Amber Ale and some street tacos.

I’m at a loss b/c I took the posts off and they were both clean nothing stuck in the posts or poppets, even the ball lock connectors are clean and clear too. This one has turned pretty bitter, it used to be juicy, fruity & citrusy and that seems to have noticeably faded. The lines and faucets are good too. Maybe it’s at the bottom of the post or in the post but I didn’t want to pull them out too. Ugh!

I’m not sure about the deterioration in flavor, but a compromised o-ring under the liquid dip tube is notorious for causing foamy pours.

Thanks for that insight! It might be time to replace the o-rings after the kegs kick.
This is the one fermented with the POG yeast. It still tastes pretty darn good.

A third Märzen from Bayern. They call this one an Amber Lager.

Happened to me recently. The seal on the liquid out tube had a tear in it. Pulled a lot of air and foam. I replaced it and all is well again. Luckily in my case it was a dark lager and not an ipa.

Yeah you guys (@camonick too) are probably right. The o-rings were replaced a while ago and look ok but it’s probably time to do a full replacement on these kegs.
Thanks guys for the suggestions and insight! That’s what I love about this forum!

 

[BongoYodeler]

Juicy Bits a nice, solid hazy. Maybe not top tier (at least in my opinion), but close.

 

[Dgallo]

Just got to be honest about this one, not very good. It’s so coyingly sweet with such lack of carb that it’s genuinely difficult to swallow. I have experienced this quite a bit recently with imperial milk stouts. Not a fan of where the style is going. Rant over lol

 

[orionol73]

 

[pshankstar]

Pretty tasty even if there’s a lot of floaters.
