Love Tributary Brewing. Picked up 4 bottles of the anniversary Grand Cru strong ale. They were doing the Mott The Lessor release but I overheard one of Tod's college buddies that was stocking the fridge about how great the Cru was. I asked him about the mix fermentation about whether you could cellar it. He got excited then said let me get the guy who made the recipe. Talking over their barleywine and MTL for 15 minutes then with a room of about 600 people Tod Mott comes over and gives his personal views on his and others beers for a while that always ends with a cheers with his MTL.

Every year he makes the rounds and I swear personally talks and has a great time with everyone. Also witnessed him drop a glass of MTL as he he yelled it's ok I made the beer.

To Todd! Cheers!View attachment 650229

I give you props, I cant get passed the smokiness of that style. I've tried the real deal on tap in Bamberg and just couldn't do it

You prolly need food to go with it.... greasy pork, a char grilled steak, or some hibachi and/or spicy stir fry. Then there's just something smoked. Brisket, pulled pork, sausage, chicken or some fish. Appetizers smoked cheese or sausage. Hard boiled eggs .... I could keep going.

The thing with smoke beer, it's like hoppy beer once you get bitten, you can't get enough.

However your pallet gets wrecked. After a few you almost can't detect it. I made this with 10lbs of malt, half of it was my own smoked rauch malt. So my beer is really smokey, but a fresh smoke. This beechwood malt was only a week old when I used it. It basically smoked pale malt. But the smoking and subsequent kilning makes like a Light Munich Rauchmalt.

The best thing about smoke beers are the smokey burps!!!! [emoji16]

Takes a bit of getting used to. Always felt like I was drinking smoked ham juice in Germany at first. It grows on you

I need to get the co2 cap for my ukeg

I need to find NO cartridges for a decent price. So far as I have seen, whipping cream dispensers don’t size them the same way the CO2 cartridges are.

How you liking the ukeg? Is it difficult getting the pressure correct?

Truth be told, I've never used mine. It was given to me as a gift before I left Europe. So I want to use it for 1 gal batches or the 1st gal of 5 gal batches. But then I need to calculate sugar for 4 gal lol.

For this cold brew setup it has been pretty straight forward. I infused and gave it another shake because I didn’t think the gas would stay in solution since I poured yesterday, and you see the foam... perhaps that was why you asked the question.

Anyway, I’ll probably put some stout in it to see how that goes, certainly shaking it doesn’t sound like a good idea, but that is the instruction for coffee.
