The collab was ok, but it felt like it needed time to come together. @satph's was better today

Thanks bud! I’ve found some of the OH beers need time where others should be drank fresh and others do well from start to finish.
I’ll give it some time. So with that I’ll change it up to this. My one good friend who’s like a brother to me gave me a can of this. He loves cider, doesn’t like beer but I’ve turned him onto sours, both fruited and barrel aged sours. Damn this is sweeeeeetttttt!!!

Instaregret, tried to see if coffee was going to wreck my guts. It did! Like for the last six hours I've had severe heartburn. Lesson learned, not ready, ughhhhhhhhhhhh. Anyways, the espresso was good

...if you're into that

The last pull of the OH Hop Showers keg. Since I’ll be down the road from them tomorrow maybe I can swap this empty one for a full one then. Hmm I wonder what they have in sixtel’s???

That does look good. I don't miss the desert.

Well, looking like I have to go to Brisbane for a couple weeks. Maybe the monsoon will start before I get back!

For that particular batch, the schedule was “set and forget”.

I brewed that at our city house and then went back to the farm for 2 weeks. I don’t have temp control at that place, so, after chilling and pitching the yeast (K-97), I put the fermenter in the tub in the guest bath, put about 8” of 64-65° water in the tub and set thermostat (baseboard heat) to between 60 and 65. Came back in 2 weeks and the beer was done and had dropped crystal clear.

Sometimes, less is more.

A HB Spotted Cow clone made 10/6/18. Found in the back of the frig and kinda think it should have stayed there. Was OK but that's about it. Was better fresh for sure.

Maibock. Bayern is probably my favorite commercial brewery. They pretty much only brew traditional, German styles. None of their beers have “hazy”, “pastry” or “milkshake” on the label. The owner and the brewmaster are both native Bavarians who apprenticed at the same, 500-year-old brewery.
