What are you drinking now?

[seanjwalker1]

Arizona Hard seltzer 4.6% Mango with Mango slices. Though I love the Mango, seltzer is not for me. I've hated seltzer water my whole life and tried it to prove to myself I still hate it ! No matter what flavor!!! I'm just too much of a Cossack drawn from the peasant ranks I guess! Give me RIS any day!!

Of course the FuFu wife loves it

Space Goat. 80° yesterday, 50° and raining today.

 

[hopfenstopfen]

My 1st 6er of this, zombie dust still eludes me.

 

[SanJuanWorm]

HB Cooper's 'Easter Ale'. This is coming along nicely, just the right bitterness from the Cooper's pale ale extract, and the flavour hops I added are coming into their own. Happy with this one! Cheers!

Yeah... but if the wife loves it you're golden!

Sometimes, while bottling a few from the kegerator, two kegs kick...2 new beers up! HB "Plan B" NEIPA, and an Irish Red Lager, although there's nothing particularly Irish about it:

Great picture! Thanks.

HB Irish Stout

Great pint, as always @camonick , apparently deer like stout as well...who knew?!

Now, I've had my share of New Belgium Brewing beers, but only a few Voodoo Rangers. I had my first NBB in Idaho Falls a long time ago, and always assumed they were brewed exclusively in Fort Collins. I checked the label of this particular Voodoo, and it's being brewed by Steam Whistle Brewing Inc. in Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada. Hmm, am I missing something here?!? Still a great beer, but...?

 

[pshankstar]

Enjoyed these and shared them with my father in-law.

 

[j1laskey]

My first No Boil NEIPA.
Zero IBU.

I will never boil or whirlpool a NEIPA ever again. Such a waste of time.

This method is super easy and the product is way closer to the commercial styles of this beer than the boils I have done

I’m sold on No Boil for this style !

Very interesting indeed. The google says the original main brewery is in Ft Collins of course and a second in Asheville, NC. There is no mention of other breweries. Since they (the employees) sold the company, who knows. They have ok beer but I’ve never really been a fan.

Bierstadt Slow Pour Pils at my local taphouse. Takes the bartender like 5 minutes to pour it properly but it is certainly worth the wait!

Did you copitch or pitch the brett after?

Thank you. It’s something I strive for in all my beers, especially my lagers.

One of my all time favorites I dug out from the cellar.

I would say neither, but closer to copitch. When I make this I use bootleg biology mad Fermentationist yeast blend. So they blend it and I just pitch in a normal fashion. I think this makes a great beer, but that's just me. People's taste vary. Also, as much as I like this, this is the only Brett beer I've ever made. So I really don't have much to add to a 'When do you pitch the Brett' conversation.

One of Us, dipa from Anchorage Brewing. Hopped with Strata and Vic Secret hops.

Damn this was delicious! I’m really enjoying lambic beers these days. I’ve gotta keep an eye out for more of this style when I start traveling again.

Can't go wrong with that. Try some Tilquin if you see it.

They're 2 different yeasts which makes all the difference. I've fallen in love with WY3787 Trappist. I may get corrected but believe the other is an Abby Yeast which I've tried also. Happy to hear your nephew is a fan. I'll send you the recipe soon.

Made a Dubbel with 3787 and love it. Didn't go crazy high with my ferm temps to help keep the beast in check but still great belgian character in the end.

I started at 70 day1 and worked up to 80 day 3. It's a much different beer then doing a straight 68-70. The fruitiness comes alive.

I'm not a bottler, but I'm always impressed by people who take it to the next level by labeling. Kudos.

Both good beers!

Homebrew NEIPA sampling after 2 months in the can! Must have avoided some oxygen, tastes as great as it did from day 1 in the keg, cleared up a bit but I don’t mind that
