Trying a sample after a late-transfer Voss kveik for my new pitch. It's a local style called 'Olde Peculiar' a British-style ale.
Bumped it up a bit, started at 1.075ish... transferred today and found a steady 1.020 with no percolation. Looking at 8.5% at least..woot!
One more day or two, and I'll bottle with confidence. I love Voss!

Good beer. Hard style to get just right. Old ale.
HB 90 shilling clone
i'm very happy, @seanjwalker1 it tastes really clean. So very happy I didn't add any extra dark malt to this darker beer.
I like to bump my beers, but this one was so coffee/smoky in initial boil, it didn't seem right.
Added plain bleached sugar, and it's going to be great.

Ha, this is Moss Landing...ain't no pro shop. There's what they call the "yacht club" but you'd not really want to claim membership.

A stout; it's in untapped. We are out for the third or sixth time this year (our last, too effing cold). Raccoons, beers, wine, great food, and no one else has to gall to eat out tonight. We ate under the stars, and I'll be damned if I didn't see a shooting star tonight. Very rare for this area, and it was consequently a big one.
OK....
I was talking about 'dark beer and coffee' because that's how my particular sample tasted to me.
Sheeessh!!!!

Did you use real Treacle and inverted sugar like the original? I had to wait like 6 weeks for my Golden Treacle from England. It came out ok but not spot on. And then waiting more than 6 months sucked. I believe Old P is supposed to be conditioned for a year. I didn't have temp control 6 years ago so maybe it would have come out better. But was ok.i'm very happy, @seanjwalker1 it tastes really clean. So very happy I didn't add any extra dark malt to this darker beer.

It's early in the morning here. I'm having "Raven's Roast" Ethiopian coffee from Aldi. It was one of their Halloween blends. It's just good coffee with no flavorings (from reading the label you might think it had honey and fruit flavors added, but that was just a poor attempt a describing it) If your Aldi still has some, I highly recommend it. I didn't try the other one, "Sleepy Hollow"
Drinking freshly ground Deathwish Coffee.
Both look awesome!
SanJuanWorm is a fellow Canadian. Since we never threw the monarchy out, we can walk into the local grocery store (even Walmart) to buy some golden treacle. Next time you need just look north of the border instead of across the pond!

I'm a one-trick pony these days and happy about it. Loving the prices at Costco. Got the Penzey Mural of Flavor product and it's pretty good. The Smoked Spanish Paprika is top-shelf. Going to make a KFC clone soon-ish with all 11 herbs and spices. I'll be using boneless dark meat. The only question I have is whether to just brine it first or use an egg/buttermilk batter.

I believe it. That's Port-level. Wish I knew how to skyrocket that ABV on heavy beers without sacrificing flavor. RIS is probably tied for my favorite with the Belgian Tripel (easy to get high ABVs).

0 Cal 0 Carb is very nice.
I wasn't sure if the blur was me or the photo. I closed one eye and it didn't get any better so I'm blaming the photo. I'm just kidding, I'm only into number one for the night
Had to take car in to the dealership for some recall work and to have them check after my parked car got hit in a mishap a couple weeks back. No damage found from incident, so decided to celebrate with a flight at a nearby brewery.

There's a cooking show out of Toronto on YouTube called Glen and Friends. He devoted several episodes to trying to replicate KFC'S chicken. Claims to have gotten quite close on a couple different recipes. Might be worth checking out for a comparison.
Weekend!! Back of the fridge selection. Brewed in July. Not quite as fresh but still quite as good.

There are multiple high ABV yeast strains to get one there. 11-12% is pretty easy. For 15%, they probably walk up the fermentation. Get it to 10-11% then add some type of sugar (dme) once the yeast is thoroughly propagated and a ton of additional oxygen to get it to 15%.
It's 70... brrrr..hot tub time.
Edit: had to cut it short. Checked and it's actually 75F here...HT was feeling a bit warm!
