Thanks, @T Murph ! I'll give it a try.

OT: HB Scottish ale. In the bottle 18 months, very tasty. Last one of this batch.

Well I just shelled out $3,975 in roof repairs and will have another $2,200 in additional work scheduled for Monday. Hey, at least I have plenty of Home Brew Pilsner on tap! Prost!

We just spent about the same amount to replace in-ground water line from the meter to the house. BLUEMAX strikes again. So to celebrate the new/condemn the old, I shared some Frankenweizen's Monster with the yellow jackets while rotisserie chicken spun in the Weber.

A sample of the Raspberry Hard Lemonade that I kegged last night. This is a sample from this morning. It should get clearer over time. I have today and tomorrow off from work…for science. 🍻View attachment 858492
Looks like it should at this point. Initial impressions of the taste?

I’m glad to hear it’s looking alright at this point. It sure is tasty; a little tart but delicious. I only put one ounce of raspberry extract in it. I helped my father-in-law bottle 5 gallons of German Hefeweizen, and then several of us sampled the raspberry hard lemonade I brought over. They all REALLY enjoyed it. I think it’s a hit! Thanks for guiding me on it!

Most of the thanks goes to @ThirstyPawsHB and @camonick as they guided me. I was just passing along their knowledge. I'm happy yours is tasting good. It's a great recipe, and it'll clear up over time, making it look as great as it tastes. ;)

It sure is a beautiful looking drink! I hope my batch turns out like the ones I’ve seen you, @ThirstyPawsHB , and @camonick post. Each of yours look absolutely amazing!
 
Was in Aldi today and saw this for the first time, figured why not. It's a little thin, not much maltiness, carbonation a little light, a touch of bitterness at the end. 5.5%, $7.99. Not bad but if you gave it to me blind I wouldn't have identified it as a festbier, especially compared to the ones I've had in the last few days.

Next trip to Aldi, pick up some soft pretzels from the freezer section. They're quite good for frozen pretzels, and Aldi usually only stocks them a few times a year.

My Aldi was stocked up on all their Deutsche Kuche goodies for O-Fest season. Spaetzle, schnitzel, etc.

Sadly, our Aldis don't carry alcohol. Damn Minnesota booze laws.
 
First time seeing this from Ordinem Ecentrici Coctores (OEC Brewing), Oxford, CT. Coolship Lager Amber Smoke. Beechwood smoked malt, coolshipped, open fermented, cellared several months, 5.4%. Aroma is malt and subtle smoke. Taste is malt and more smoke but not as much as a Schlenkerla. Looks pretty dark for an amber, not that it matters to me. I like smokey beers and this is a very good one imho.
