What are you drinking now?

Nice cool day here. A few beers on the deck while reading. And listening to my annoying neighbor’s music. At least it’s something I like (classic rock).

Does look and sound very good. What is the SRM?

The SRM IS 6.0, which is on the low end for an Amber. At 38 IBU it’s probably more of a low gravity Pale Ale.

Is this based on an HBT recipe? If not, willing to share?

Happy Flag Day everyone! My daughter painted this rock a few years ago. I think she needs to touch it up. Cheers!

It’s a recipe I put together to use up some small amounts of base malts I had left over. Here’s a screenshot of the recipe. The acidulated malt is for Ph adjustment. I mashed at 150.

Thanks! Looks interesting. I used 5.6% acid malt in a Pils (I called this my "Endless Summer Pils". Initially, IMO, yuck. Now, it is very, very good. How did the 2 oz Acid malt impact the tasted?

I brew with well water which is slightly alkaline and the Ph is 8 and change. I’ve found that a small amount of acid malt is all I need to get the mash Ph to around 5.4. I think I actually used 4 oz instead of 2; I’m too lazy to go downstairs and check my brewing log. I add 3-4% to most of my recipes and I don’t notice any profound effect on flavor at that rate.

No, that's OK, No need to go downstairs. I use 5.2 in the mash as our PWC water numbers are over the place (in other words, good luck trying to adjust).

Are you sure this isn't one of yours next to a Guinness can?

Nope,it’s the real deal. Doing research, trying to figure out what the secret is.

Sippin on some HB Hazy Session while I wait for @pshankstar HB All Together he sent me to chill

 

[jaymosbeershack]

This one aged very well.

If you figure it out, let me know. Now that you brought it up, I'm going to go crack open a Guiness. The local Sprouts has Guinness Extra in bombers for $2.99.

Deschutes Fresh Haze IPA. Never had this one before, which is weird, because Deschutes is one of my faves. (looks flat because I got a call halfway through pouring) Very glad to enjoy it.

It's a perfect start to a partial mash brewing day! Doing a WCIPA with fresh spruce tips, Kviek Voss and an extra drop of dry malt for a kick. I love brew day!

Geez... the antennas I could erect on the land shown in the photo!

Oat malt ipa

 

[TheEagleRising]

Sippin on @pshankstar HB All Together. Very nicely done! Starting off it was a bit dry and neutral but as it warmed up it had a nice citrusy and floral profile while maintaining a very nuetral profile with no hop bite. Very Crushable!

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

As per popular demand ... the Vanilla Cream Ale

I need to find a nice tap handle for the Vanilla Cream Ale. Anyone have a recommendation?

What is that weird maypole looking thing in the yard? Hop trellis.

My last dunkelweizen.

Collective Arts Brewing Porter, with Cascade and Nugget. Same brewer and style, different artwork. Cannot remember if the wrestler in the art is Butterbean or someone else. He looks familiar, but I'm no wrastlin' expert!

 

[Immocles]

George the animal Steele!

 

[Elric]

Morally obligated to drink while barbecuing when your smoker has a bottle opener built in. Imperial Double IPA to start, a nice low abv grisette later so I’m not so tanked that i burn dinner. Some smoked thai drumsticks for tonight and a meatloaf for tomorrow’s dinner.

Did the opener come factory stocked, making it an ideal purchase? Or installed after the fact, to encourage the drinking?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Since Wednesday drinks and dinning permitted outside while maintaining distance. A stout and NEIPA at a new local brewery.

Factory stock. I have 3 broil king barbecues. Two charcoal, one gas. Both charcoal ones (keg and smoke) come with built in bottle openers.

I’ll crack one open too. I do get the citrusy part and some pine with this batch. Maybe some tropical notes but mainly citrus and pine as it warms. Yes it is on the dryer side too, I would agree with that.
Cheers bud and thanks for the feedback!

Don't think it's really about Crazy George Steele (thanks Immocles) being on the can, it's showcasing artwork from around the world. This one was from Toronto, last time was from Quebec, another one is from the UK. I would bet that the artists just want their stuff out there, beer can display or not!
