Vicksburg, MS, Key City oatmeal stout. Nice coffee bitterness but less body than I'd expect in an oatmeal. Still, a good beer.

Have you looked into ALDC? It's a game changer for hop creep.Enough diacetyl to make this not as enjoyable as a 9% DIPA should be, sigh, I knew that dry hop was bad new bears.
Should've dumped yeast.
Should've kegged at day 3 instead of day 8 waiting for the filter.
Getting ready to put together some homemade frozen banana margaritas for a little get together, kinda a blast from the past with friends. So we'll see how it turns out. In the meantime...
You, sir, are correct. Washed the car at 6.00am this morning and came in around 7.00 am to switch out my gear for waxing and had to change my shirt. With that done, I then changed my shirt again before going out to run errands. The humidity today was absolutely stupid.God awful tropical tonight.View attachment 854711

Boxing, beer, and chips (if a little soggy) is still a great night!Yup, the chips I put out for the fights are beginning to get soggy inside with the AC on.![]()
Congrats!Drinking my last bottle of this batch of blonde ale. It earned a third place in its category at my county fair hobby homebrew contest. My Czech Pilsner got a 1st as well as Judge’s Choice award. And my dunkel got another 1st and People’s Choice. Pretty happy with the results.

Congrats!
Thanks fellas
Cheers to the new pack member!View attachment 854722Coffee this morning as I’m up with the new puppy. We decided our pack needed a third dog b/c it hasn’t been the same all week since losing Bella. I finally tired her out so I can sit, enjoy coffee and watch some of the Olympics this morning.
We wanted to rescue a dog from a local shelter. Unfortunately our now oldest dog is a rescue (Charlotte) who’s very selective around other dogs. We knew it would be a lot of work and may only lead to issues that never go away when a lot of the dogs at the local shelters say they are best as a single pet in a house. So a puppy would be the best way to introduce a new dog to our pack. So far it’s been going really well and Charlotte (our selective dog) loves playing with the puppy and is so good with her.
Coffee from the Dream Bean coffee shop in Grand Marais, MI (roasted in Traverse City, MI). Nice light roast, fruity, clean and slightly acidic. Perfect as my home roasted beans have time to off gas.
That haddock corn chowder sounds delicious. A nice sized serving of that in a sourdough bread bowl on a fall afternoon and I'd be very happy.Late brunch before they turn these interesting tacos. NH businesses are doing an eat local for the month. Most breweries around here do unhealthy foods. You laugh but id have this everyday. However, you put a fried chix or onion rings in front of my face I'll eat it.

With a N/A Notch (Mass) Hazy. Not bad. Can pour. A little metalically but aroma and taste is good.View attachment 854749View attachment 854750View attachment 854748
