Really well done SIPA. Mouthfeel is like a 8%er. Nice citrus/stonefruit presence. Only 4.5%
What are you drinking now?

For a wheat that's pretty clear
Time and gravity will do that. It’s been in the keg for about a month.For a wheat that's pretty clear
Multi tasking down in the office.
Should be drinking Pepto instead of Vitamin Sea Brewing watching the Bruins
Other monitor? Watching livestream of a project I worked on. Always something going on. Last one natives down in the Amazon made the payload retreat from launchpad due to protests. This one? New rocket and a lightning strike last week

Was going to set a 4 pack aside to try one each year but decided to crack one early to celebrate completing a weekend working Indy. I really like this brew: malty, dark fruit, caramel, not too boozy. Good stuff!
(Cream de) Lemoncello from earlier today.
There is some coagulation with the heavy whipping cream but it's not bothering me. Probably need to have the sugar content between 1/2 and 3/4 cups though. 1/2 is a bit too little. I think 1cup of the Everclear lemon mixture per750ml is too much also. I'll also use or make alkaline water for the next batch in attempt to smooth out the mouthfeel.
Have a plan for the next batch but I still have 4 of these left....

I think you may be running into what happens with egg nog. I'm sure if u Google egg nog curdle/clotting you'll find the scientific process going on. What you want to do is add your booze into the cream. Not your cream into the booze. It also happens when the abv is too high

It's probably more visible in lemoncello but it took a while for it to settle the clotting in egg nog. There is an equation where it occurs. My best recipes that ive found, I usually up the booze by 50% and that's when I sometimes encountered clotting. It's more of a visible thing. It didn't effect the taste and a simple mixing smoothed it out. I have quarts of clumpy
egg nog over 5 years old with raw milk and it keeps getting better with age. I have no fear as it has a lot of bourbon in it. Maybe push it to the max ratio and add a shot if you want to avoid the clotting and get a good whallop
Leveling the bottom rails has been a learning experience. Completely redone but ready for next steps now.

Epic failure trying to do the liner by myself. Son will be down tomorrow. Working on finishing the fire feature but getting too hot. Ergo kegging beers instead.
HB Helles. Not going to lie, truly enjoying this. May be a hair sweet (corn?) but ultra quaffable.

HB Belgian Dubbel. Around 7%. LOVE that 3787 fermenting a bit warm. So far great ester profile.
Knowing I'm working on the backyard for the next couple weeks. Cut the WCIIPA short. Was planning on keg dry hopping but decided to use the hop oil. Zero diacetyl detected in the 7day fermentation using ALDC. Used 3ml of oil in a 2.5gal keg. Noticable aroma burst. Stronger taste profile, kinda knocks you back. But I like that. Definitely a WCIPA hop oil, more dank. We'll see how that holds over time. Got another 97ml so WCIPAs for a while it is!

I had to come to PCB for a couple of weeks. Hanging out in the RV so I brought a little 2 yr old Blackberry Melomel for something different. Lol I only have pint glasses and one Martini glass, so mead is good in a Martini glass.
Good stuff!

SWIMBO's concerns addressed. Wood not exposed to fire, check. Fire not exposed to grandkids, check. No more fire blow outs underneath, check. Swapping out red fire glass for turquoise, check. Couple more bags of fire glass should do it. (I do like the blue better, but don't tell her! )
This deserves a HB Dubbel

This week’s smokestack comes in the form of a gargantuan and hefty West Coast IPA, Double Dales, by Oskar Blues Brewery. Tipping the scales at a massive 9.0% ABV in a Big-Boy 19.2 ounce can, that’s like drinking four regular beers. Bud Light drinkers exit the room, please!
Great tasting, easy drinking, Double Dale’s hides all this booze behind a great defensive line of hops – I could smell them 18” away from my pint glass. I’m really liking these big cans - I always enjoy a beer bigger that the glass I’m chugging from!
Whoa Nellie – hey what is this? The back end of that final remaining 3.2 ounce pour looks cloudy… Is this a “Can Conditioned” beer? Well, I am impressed! Double Dales has a “Pinkie finger” of head, medium to medium-low carbonation and decent lacing. Possibly some of those hop oils at play here. Great orangey color, this IPA is a crowd pleaser. Great thing is, if I want to zone out behind the bleachers for a couple hours, I only need to pack along two cans!

You have good taste!
Brewery is 20min away. Guess I should go there some day...My original completion date of May 1st failed but we're getting there...
HB Tripel. Found three Grolsch bottles in the fridge that I'd forgotten all about. Good thing I bought those pint glasses last week.
Back at the farm. HB Bullwinkle Brown.
Guinness with homemade Shepherds Pie
Hb rye ipa, a little darker then expected and still needs to clear some, great flavor so far, 2 days in the keg so should get better.

Idk where the times gone but my daughter is now 4 months old and I realized I haven’t even really stepped foot in the brewery since November. Realize I still have full kegs too. Gotta start emptying them. Starting with a cherry wheat.
