Been brewing tonight. Belgian Golden Strong Ale....finally time to boil for 90...so I had a SN Hoptimum...now having my Pirate Strong Ale....I gotta start making some more session beers...yikes!!!
Homebrew stock is down so low as to be considered precious. Resorting to cheap beer, good whiskey and a cigar (PBR, Leopold Brothers and Romeo y Julietta respectively).
I'm all over the map tonight....
Fuggles IPA, Blue Moon, Cocoa Mole, Left Hand Milk Stout, Stauff's Vanilla Espresso Stout, next???????? I don't know yet! Let's see what's in the fridge!
partial mash rye ipa
finished way high and it's too sweet for me, but i would never waste it
especially since it's the beer that made me switch to all grain
John Henry 3 lick spiker- I thought it tasted pretty similar to my first strong ale which was average besides the very mild bourbon oak notes it had i think i may have liked it less than mine-it had some old off or spent yeast tast off and on-i actually didnt care to finish it.
An amber I have been working on and just can't get where I want. 5th batch of it with little tweaks but it just won't come all together. It's not bad but just not where I want it to be
I've been out biking all day, came home and had my ESB, which has been bottled for 2 months now. It's 9lbs of nutty and biscuity Maris Otter, some cara-pils, crystal 60L, nugget and Kent Goldings... yumma!! Then I had my cream ale. If you can get past how flat it is, it's not bad, for a cream ale.
Now I am quaffing my chocolate stout. Good stuff. Not usually my style of beer, but its SWMBO nectar of the gods. So I brew it. One is the limit on these for me though.
