HB British Golden, 6 pk left over from kegging I stuck in the garage back in Nov to lager all winter. Pretty tasty!
What are you drinking now?

Have not seen that one yet. Looks like a tasty summer beer!
Local hazy.
Looks good. Curious. Do you use botanicals or gin? I see those gin kits and they're expensive when they should be cheap. Maybe you could add botanicals. A small brewery I visit uses Tom Cat Gin barrels in their stouts. Really good. He's also given me a taste off the "special" keg that has added gin

Made it to vacation after a HELL of a week. Weeks before vacation are typically stressful trying to wrap stuff up. But this one got me started on blood pressure medication (probably over due to be honest).
Keeping it light tonight since I’ll be driving 8 hours per day for the next two days.

Sounds like a winning combo. Gin and beer, my two favorites. Care to share the recipe?

Found this on sale today, for some reason.
My saison "drink that funky saison white boy". 3 yeast blend, lemongrass, basil, and peppercorns at the end of boil. I naturally carbonated in the keg for the first time and it is really nice. I did a A/B comparison to the same beer force carbed and the aroma, creaminess, flavor, and mouthfeel we're all noticably better in the keg conditioned version.

Beer. Because you can’t drink bacon.
Hope yours did better than mine!
Note to self...don't take an important phone call in the middle of Priming and forget where you were.....sigh...oh well. It's very carbed..but yeah.
At any rate, I have saved some of my Saison, and it tastes very nice. Cheers!
I'm sure it's still tasty!!! Color is nice !!Hope yours did better than mine!

Homebrew Nut Brown Ale before bed
That's a pretty beer. The lighting doesn't do it any justice, but you can see those red/garnet tones coming through.
Makes me thirsty.
It's Friday night for me, so I've enjoyed a couple of bitters with amber malt and one Obnoxiously Large CAP while plotting tomorrow's return to fly sparging. It's been twenty years since I last did battle with the whirligig. This time, I mean business (which is to say, I'm not in grad school, so I threw [what once seemed like] stupid money at the problem). In the prosecution's interest, it's still stupid money. Why fly sparge when a well designed infusion program yields comparable results?
Because I've still got a grudge and there's business to settle. That's why.
This time, there will be no trying to balance a wobbling mass full of fluid, no attempts at drilling dozens of holes at a perfect twenty-whatever-it-was degree angle in PVC pipes, no attempting to find the correct height at which to place the cooler to develop the work needed to overcome inertia, no #*%&#@ bearings to coax into rotation in a high heat, high humidity environment.
I punked out and bought some SS Brewtech gear. I'm sure it'll work great, although I'm sure it'll throw me a few curve balls compliments of my own stupidity. Honestly, I expect that this fine equipment will find its way into a box in the back of a closet no later than mid-summer.
But you don't know that unless you try. I'm excited about tomorrow.

HB smoked Pils
Here's the base. I usually use a Kolsch yeast but wanted the build this yeast for a 10% Belgian Blond. As far as gin/lime, that is of course, to taste. I soaked zest of 1 lime in half cup of gin in addition to some lime extract I had from the last one. Gin won't take over the taste like a whiskey would so you'd have to experiment. I'll add another 1/2 cup and see how that gose...
Edit: This was a no boil. I mashed the grains/hops with a Hop Spider in the kettle for about 30min at 155F, then brought it to about 185 for 10min, added DME and cooled. Quicky!

Bought for the glass which looked more impressive in the box. Beer is not too shabby though.
