To stay on topic, you have to drink the hydro sample.

I did.That’s why I posted in this thread.

Is that a very small Holstein (cow) behind you or a sweet black and white cat?

That’s Edgar. He feels like a cow some days. He’s a big boy and doesn’t quite realize that.

Love the name.

Homebrew Barleywine from last year. Color and clarity are fantastic. Underattenuated though. Sweet.
Hard to get a good picture of the color and how clear this is.
Bottle from Youngs Old Nick (I have 22 of 24)
(Edit) Brewed 5/19/20. So it’s a year and a half. Yeast was WY1968. Would do this again with 1028 or 1728.

Haven’t had CC in ages. If I buy Canadian, it’s Black Velvet. Best bang for the buck

Drinking the very last bottle of HB English brown. Need to brew that again some time soon.

I'm officially out of HB beer, but I have about 60 or so 7 oz bottles of apple/cherry cider.

I have 2 cases of HB Kolsch just about done bottle-conditioning, plus 5 gallons of Roggenbier and 5 gallons of American stout fermenting away, so the pipeline will be full soon.

That's an old pic BUT
I just sipped some of my "BS Ale" from the hydro sample.
Exquisitly thin, almost devoid of flavor so as not to confuse the palate.
There was a bag of William's extract in the veggie drawer of the fridge,
been there 10+ years. Figured it would be a shame to just throw it away
so brewed it up with some old hops from the freezer. Almost ready to bottle,
it's not nasty so I figure it's a success (so far). Maybe it will carb up.

Brewery is a part time winter conservatory, apparently.

Check this out, a souveneir of a trip to Wis. in '76...

 

[Immocles]

My wife’s family gave me a bunch of her opa’s old cans from the 60-70s. Most are local (Schells, grain belt) but there’s some cool imports from Germany and a huge oil can sized fosters haha. The leinies can is cool!

 

[squibload]

Thought I had one with the American Flag on it, bicentennial souveneir.
I'll check later. Hope I'm not veering off course for the thread tho...

Oh yeah, Foster's poster in the dock where I used to work:
a girl coming out of the surf holding a beer, "If you're suckin' a lime,
your beer's a lemon".

Cold Smoke while trying to organize my overcrowded workbench one more time.

Serious question: if anyone has come close to cloning this, I'd like an assist if possible. Thanks.

Notes: Old ale aged in bourbon barrels previously used for Michigan maple syrup.

Formerly known as Kaiser Curmudgeon.

What tames an Old Ale like Curmudgeons? The tender embrace of oak and sweet maple? That's what. The result is Curmudgeon's Better Half. A harmonious matrimony of our deceptively smooth Old Ale brewed with molasses and time aging spent aging in bourbon barrels that have previously held maple syrup. Because all counterpart should be sweet. Rich and utterly delicious.

Thanks. That much I'm aware of.
The flavor is ridiculously good. Low-hopped (35 IBU I think). My thought is to use wood chips soaked in maple syrup in addition to wood chips soaked in bourbon. But that's where I'm at so far.

Start with what they tell you on their website as far as any ingredients. Make an Old Ale recipe that matches anything they tell you. % alc, color, ibu, etc. Then do the oak thing. I never heard of any bourbon aged in maple syrup barrels. Even Angels Envy doesn’t do that

It’s been a day. I’ll enjoy these in the garage while I roast some coffee.

My pipeline contains a Nut Brown, and a Dead Guy clone
