HB Dark Mild (was supposed to be a London Brown, but missed the mark):

This stuff is good.

Monkish. Foggy Window.

 

[Rish]

Another Crooked Stave oak barrel aged saison. Crisp, a little tart, doesn't have that slight funk of their Vieille, but definitely a good beer.

@AlexKay, no intervening posts for me either! HB cantaloupe wheat.

Happy National Daiquiri Day!

HB Hefeweizen looking and tasting great. It cleared more than I expected.

What I’m not drinking is my HB Blonde Ale.

The sawdust from my shop vac makes pretty good floor dry.

I was finishing the lid for the faucet box on the quick ‘n’ dirty keezer and bumped the faucet when I turned around. I didn’t notice anything until I heard a hissing sound. Turned back towards the keezer and the faucet was blowing foam. It was a 2.5 gal batch and there was probably 1.5 gal left in the keg.

I have a 4 gal batch of Altbier in primary. I pulled a sample today (day 5) and it’s at the predicted FG but I really don’t want to keg a beer that green. We’re going back to the farm on Monday. I can keg the Alt before we leave and it will be ready when we come back around the end of the month.

The rest of this week will be the longest I’ve gone without homebrew in, probably, 10 years. Oh well. I’m in a city with 10 brewpubs and grocery and c-stores that sell craft beer on almost every corner. I’ll get by.

I have faith that you. I know you can drink store bought

And, right on cue…

Sort of a Wit. It’s pretty good.

Weller is one of the short supply limited releases every year that we have to put our names into a drawing for and literally win a lottery for the right to purchase one bottle here in PA. Very hard to come by.

It is nigh on impossible to find in my area. I had to pay the tater tax and got it for $75 a couple years ago. If I was as mature about bourbon then as I am now, I never would have bought it. It’s good, but not worth the hype.

I’ve been keeping Evan Williams Black Label and Wild Turkey 81 on hand. Not exactly top shelf but 2 solid bourbons. I have about 1/2 of a bottle of Very Old Barton left that I got really lucky and found in a store here one day. I like that one but I have a feeling I’m not going to be able to find that here again any time soon

Love this beer! I'm thinking about driving down to the brewery's taproom and getting a 1/6 keg of this for my keezer.

HB Pilsner. Not quite a week in the keg.

 

[user 263363]

It’s hard to see, but I think my centennial lager is showing signs of clearing. I really need to lay off it for another week or so and see what happens. It’s just so good. This beer has not touched oxygen since yeast pitch and I can truly tell the difference.

Have to work a little OT but basically the weekend starts now! And since we're talking temperature...

Night cap from my bourbon infinity bottle. Anybody else keep one? I have one for bourbon, one for scotch, and one for rum.

It’s getting darker outside and so are my beers.

[pshankstar]

A solid beer by @Section1! This is delicious & he was kind enough to share the recipe. Thank you for the delicious beer & recipe!

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Infused jalapeno in some mead. I just mixed that with some from the keg. This is close to my vision. Best of both worlds.

 

[pshankstar]

From @Section1 neck of the woods. Thanks bud!

First pour of a tripel I screwed up a couple of weeks ago. (But as we all know, it's still beer!) Fermented 2 weeks with Lallemond Abbaye at 68 and kegged only Sunday afternoon.

More interesting than this beer at it's current stage is this story: Came home from the gym tonight after 2 hours of racquetball and took a nice long shower.
Then I went downstairs, (only in my boxers of course), to lower the psi on this keg of beer. I was bent over in front of my fridge attaching the beer out line, one hand holding onto both the picnic tap end and the top of the fridge door. When I attached the line to keg I was immediately drenched. The picnic tap was open and pointed at my head and back!

It was my second shower of the evening. And I guess that makes this picture the second pour, not the first.

I like to consider myself a wit; some beg to differ and consider me a twit!

Can't get hurt with SN Pale. Back in the day when I just discovered the world outside of BMC I drank a lot of this. My other favorite then was Anchor Liberty Ale.

Uh..Oh. 4 posts without intervention!

If I recall, you made some tweaks to your recipe. Are you happy with them? On second thought, it's probably too soon to tell.

 

[wetmk]

Bluto: Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.

5, 6 without intervention? Don't stop me I'm on a roll.

Time for the third pour.

I did tweak my recipe a little bit and so far I’m very happy. I added a touch of Melanoiden and a little bit of Munich to give it a little more golden color and added a little bit more bittering hops per some feedback I got at a competition. I also added 20 oz of homemade sauergut with 20 minutes left in the boil. Even as young as it is, I think it tastes awesome. I plan to take a couple bottles to the tiny little homebrew tasting competition at our county fair in a couple weeks and will probably send it to the Rocky Mountain Homebrew Challenge again this year.
