I remembered it before it fully froze, luckily, I normally put a timer on but I forgot this time. Still, an interesting experience. I have kegs but I think some beers are nicer from bottles.
My brut IPA is finally clear after six months in the keg. Not sure what the problem was since previous batches have not had this problem. Of course it'll probably kick on the next pour.

The fault is my own and brought about by a mixture of hubris, laziness, and curiosity. It's been forever since I've used the Whitbread dry strain and the first pitch indicated that it was as quick to finish and flocc as the UK strains that I keep year round (Fullers and T. Taylor). On a whim, I decided to keg this batch w/o a crash and decided I may as well skip the finings while I'm at it, just to see. Well, I now know that I should've crashed it and fined it.
Edit: Your remark prompted me to wonder if perhaps I have another floating dip tube ball that has cracked and sunk. Thanks for making me think.
Hb malt free, unhopped, unfermented, NA clone, with a touch of lemon.... cause I need some flavor. Maybe a beer tomorrow but for now still on this water concoction. Proper glassware.
The greatful head.
Last glass of my best good PA.
I should have known when the pour before this was hazy.
At least I still have 2 kegs tapped and one in the FV.
A home brewed Helles Bock, called Materhorn Maggie, named after my grand daughter Maggie. Very tasty summer beer - perfect for today's hot and humid toaster.
Latest Hazy attempt. Nectron/Bru-1/Voss. Pineapple hop bomb. Came out at 8%, well above intended. Fermentation stalled and had to re-oxygenate. We'll see....
Another beer from the @pshankstar sampler. I have heard lots about this beer but never tried it. A face full of hops aroma and juicy flavor. Def not an ibu bomb. It would be easy to drink too many of these.
Prost Kölsch. View attachment 855978
Found a variety pack in Albertsons and remembered that @camonick has been posting Prost beers the last few days. This is a seriously good Kölsch.
Trying to get the swelling down, 1 ibuprofen, 1 allergy pill, 1 beer... the song doesn't go like that but I hope it helps. Hb hazy View attachment 855990
Nothing to mess with. I've been stung dozens of times through the years with no ill effects. Then the last time I was stung my hands swelled up to the point I couldn't close them to make a fist. I got all blotchy on my torso, and started wheezing. My doctor has advised me to carry an epipen. Be careful.
