What are you drinking now?

[grampamark]

This beer got me thinking about a good name for my next mead that truly describes the process. How about "Poop and Puke"?

You might want to try that name out on a non-homebrewing focus group. Just sayin’…

 

[buckinin]

Hotel beer. Ready for a weekend of softball for my daughter. Last big tournament of the summer.

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

Building a mobile kegerator to hold 4 cornys... work in progress, beer helps. Gotta use it .... tomorrow..

I am celebrating a special birthday this morning. He is St. Arnulf of Metz, 582-645.
He is known as the patron saint of brewers. He was a Frankish bishop in Metz Germany.
In English, he is known as St. Arnold.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Checking that my Alt is suitable for an event tomorrow. HBD St Arnold

 

[ClaudiusB]

I am still celebrating St. Arnold's birthday with an Altbier.
My way of focusing is getting like @Rish 's fotografy. I have an excuse, drinking all morning

Sorry, I've been MIA from this thread a few days. We have a friend and his family from Germany, visiting. Been here 3 days, spending 4 more, then they will fly to Las Vegas to rent a car and tour some national parks. Dieter has been to the US several times before, but first time for his daughter and girlfriend.

We've been showing them the sights, to the north shore of Lake Superior yesterday, and went for BBQ today and a brewery. The Americana experience.

They brought a few bottles of the local brew from their town of Heubach, in Baden-Wuerttemberg. And some Bretzeln from their local Baeckerie.

Straight from the can, because that’s just the kind of day today.

I just love beers like this – Hazy IPA’s that aren’t hazy! I’m looking on the can, what do I need to do, shake it up like a can of spray paint? Hmmm. Mission makes fantastic IPA’s – love ’em! This “Hazy” is as clear as a micro-polished Pilsner! “Hey, who forgot to add a scoop of haze murk to the “Waves” tank anyway? !!!”

This is my last entry for Mission Brewing, I’ve drank them all! Says it is a “Fruit Forward – Tropical - Juicy, 6.2% ABV Hazy. At least that’s what it says on the can!

OK, so it is a bit “Fruit Forward Tropical and Juicy” – but not over the top. Easy drinking and a real beauty (I prefer my IPA’s West Coast, crystal clear anyway.) I guess I mentally compare this to Voodoo Ranger Juice Force and it seems very restrained. Mission Brewing’s “Waves of Haze” is better for drinking in quantity I think. Chug!

Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA

These today after our adventures in the UP of Michigan.

[crazyjake19]

A 6oz sample glass of the hefeweizen I brewed three weeks ago. I'm very pleased with how well the Lallemand Munich Classic yeast performed. First Hefe I've brewed and was nervous about dry yeast options - I'd say this one's a winner.

I used that for my last Hefeweizen and was very pleased

 

[Bramling Cross]

Some more of my bourgeoisie bum beer, the real fancy kind with the ALDI instant jasmine rice in it.

Really pleased to hear that! Years ago I tried WB-06 and that put me off dried hefe yeast. I have 10lbs of wheat that's been hanging around for a while. I think I might give that a shake.

One sachet is an acceptable pitch rate for a normal gravity hefe?

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

When you just need a WCIPA. Last day tomorrow before vacation. Wife is heading to see our son in Oregon. Me? Babysitting, drinking, Olympics...not necessarily in that order.

Yes. That’s all I used. I fermented a little on the cooler side because I prefer more clove flavor opposed to a banana bomb

 

[Rish]

HM Chinese rice wine aperitif. Pretty good stuff.

 

[BongoYodeler]

Hmmm. Currently sampling a HB Lemon-Lime Hefeweizen, fermented with WB-06. Kegged yesterday. Initial taste, it seems pretty neutral, though the predominant lime flavor could be masking any phenolic character.

I've used Munich Classic for Hefeweizens a few times and a single packet was plenty for a 5-6 gal batch.

I improvised because I would've bought WLP300 but it was 95F for a full week so I had to go with dry yeast.

Now I'm trying to decide what to brew with the yeast harvested from that batch. I've been leaning toward either a Dunkelweizen or a Hopfenweisse

Did you like the Golden Märzen?

Lemon meringue Berliner weisse

 

[Group W]

HB half pint Cream Ale.

 

[Jmspears]

And now a Boston cream stout. 15.9%! Better take this one slow…

That’s what I call an over-carbonated Coors Light!

I'm assuming it had a substantial carbonic bite, did it push the hops forward? Any sort of carbonic twang?

Not taking a cheap shot here, but I can't help but think it improved the beer? I ask because I've been toying with significantly increasing the gas on my Panther Piss series of beers. If for no better reason than that's about the last thing that I haven't given a thorough goofing around with regarding that series of beers.

 

[Bramling Cross]

Sweet, beautiful, cool rain.

I enjoyed a wonderfully soggy 5-mile stomp through the woods at Ft. Washington earlier this afternoon. I turned fifty earlier this year and I'll be damned if stomping puddles and playing in the mud will ever get boring! Then, soaked and filthy, I drove my hairdresser's car home with the top down. Rain is the best!

Celebrating with a big Willi full of Panther Piss Classic while I clean the interior.

Joy!

Well, I didn't really notice anything like that. Maybe it is because Coors Light is so lightly hopped it didn't stand out. Just a buncha fizz! I think the beer tender at this restaurant has the regulator set a bit high - Not sure. I find I'm liking mine around 9 psi these days, this one had to be at least 12 I'd guess!
