First one of the day! Let’s just say last night was crazy. My wife’s labor broke about an hour and a half after we fell asleep. Cops and EMTS in our house at 1230. They rush her to the hospital. I wait for our sitter to get here and then I rush there too. The rush me up into a delivery room and at 2:03am our first boy pops out. ThenView attachment 711715 15 minutes later the second boy pops out! Mom and the boys are doing great! I was back home opening presents at 6am with our daughter. It’s been a long day and this beer taste really really really good ! Merry Christmas everyone !!!!

Dude...congrats!! That’s awesome! I have twins in the fam, both sides, but the same generation as me and they are special. Enjoy the craziness and sleep some, if you can!

I'm starting a new Christmas tradition this year. I bought a 12-pack vertical of Sierra Nevada Bigfoot during the summer, and I'm going to have one each Christmas after the kids are in bed. This one is a 2011 vintage.

Merry Christmas everyone. I’m enjoying my first all grain brew ever! (Was extract for 5 years). It’s a German Hefeweizen and it turned out fairly decent!

Congrats! That looks like it turned out great!

A hefe on your first all grain? You're twice the man I'll ever be!

Merry Christmas albeit slightly late

Windy Christmas Eve. Didn’t lose power formore than a few minutes. But had no cable or internet all Christmas Day. Didn’t stop me from working on the 12 BoC
@j1laskey Gruit and @jack13 juniper rye bock. Two more really enjoyable beers that I never would have made myself. J1, congrats on the little ones.

Not a terrible mark up from the cost at the brewery. Def would be more in gas or delivery for me

Winter Solstice Chipotle Porter Recipe Kit https://www.homebrewing.org/Winter-Solstice-Chipotle-Porter-Recipe-Kit_p_4388.htmlIt is a nice robust porter, I can't taste the chocolate at all. The chipotle is subtle and is mostly a warmth in the finish. It is a little more bitter on the finish than I like for this style but it is very good. When I get my setup complete it will be one of my staples. Waiting on my Digiboil then I need to buy bulk DME and specialty grains.

Absolutely. It’s def high but they are dryhoping at about 4-5lbs per barrel for doubles at 8.5%, so it’s not crazy crazy.

You should see the cost of the imperial stouts up this way. $20 for a 500 ml lol

What did you think of that beer?

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

HB Peat Bog Scottish Ale.

It'll be a day of disappointment. Huskers, 49ers, then the Raiders. But hey, if I'm watching the Huskers lose, might as well be for a National Championship.

I paid $14 for that Tipa

Stunning. Wouldn't think it was 10%. Super smooth, EQ and Highland Park been my top 2 fave imports this year.

My friends consider this my signature homebrew, if I have one. Been brewing and tweaking it for 15 years.
