What are you drinking now?

[blkandrust]

Arrogant BastardAle. Not normally the type of beer I would drink after a wicked game of Wiffle Ball with my daughter,but the 22oz bottle was mocking me every time I opened the fridge!

 

[Billy-Klubb]

RDWHAHBing with a Cal Common after some minor (almost major) brew day headaches.

geez, bruva! what happened?

 

[mcbaumannerb]

This one is not as good...

 

[nukebrewer]

Settling in with some AIPA, Firefly and Calculus homework. Awesome Sunday night!

 

[bobmcstuff]

First taste of HB small Saison. Pleasant, needs more time though.

[jaydog2314]

Nice! I made the Brew UK extract kit of that and it was really good.

This is the same recipe as brewuk use in their all grain kit, but I had the ingredients in.

It is great stuff.

 

[WesleyS]

I'll second that! Never seen a big bottle thought. Just the little 11oz. Bottles.

They previously carried only the small bottles around here, but in the past few years I've only seen it in the big bottles. I need to pick one up. Haven't had it recently.

 

[Nunner]

I love Stones beer selection!

 

[unionrdr]

Having some Oscar Blue's Dale's Pale ale & vodka after a successfull brewday. Not to mention,cleaning up this morning after bottling day yesterday. Been a busy weekend. Kinda cool that my daughter & her boyfriend closed up the cookie shop in Hollywood last night before sampling the 4 beers I sent them. Claimed it was the best beer they ever had.
And one for ohcrap...they seemed to like the dark hybrid lager the most.

I almost expect to see Charlie Papazian standing next to you. classic pic!

Ha cheers! I had a beard worthy of Charlie until yesterday.

 

[unionrdr]

I wouldn't mind sharing some home brews & pit bbq with him myself.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

another Haymaker IPA.

 

[bobmcstuff]

Single hop Sovereign IPA.

Sovereign is apparently a new hop named for our fair queen's jubilee last year... Lol. Kinda fuggles/noble-y.

I was looking at that earlier. M&S have some great beers in their range at the minute, particularly the ones brewed by meantime brewery, Greenwich. Great stuff.

 

[mcbaumannerb]

Another meh...

 

[NIZZLE]

About to crack this bad boy

 

[WesleyS]

Another meh...

Wow. You're just working your way through that whole line of Sam Adams beers I always see and think about trying but never do.

 

[TangoHotel]

My Dancing Hoppipotimus IPA v.2.0.

 

[TangoHotel]

And it stays in the glass sideways too!

geez, bruva! what happened?

All goes smoothly, then my sink drain clogs. Given that I'd be unable to run my chiller without it, kind of an emergency. Takes me a good while to get that unclogged, but I get it done. In the mean time, while I'm focusing on the drain I neglect to catch a boilover. Fortunately while I didn't stop it, I caught it immediately before it made TOO big of a mess.

Then countless other small spills throughout the course of the brew. Then the pre-chiller I built to supplement my immersion chiller did f@&# all but save me 15 minutes in chill time (45 minutes down to about half an hour). The ice had all melted within the first 15 minutes.

All seemed to work out okay though, since I nailed my volume and nailed my gravity. And nailed my mash temp.

Hopefully batch number two will run smoothly (halfway through a 90 minute mash now). After batch one, I'm lucky I'm even able to do batch two today.

Yeah their Cornish IPA is actually St Austell Proper Job - and it's bottle conditioned with the yeast from primary so you can reculture the actual St Austell yeast from it.

Meantime is good stuff.

you're a floccin' champ! I'd said "flocc it" on the 2nd brew.

Impressive!

 

[NIZZLE]

This is what happens when I try to pull a double header on 4 hours of sleep. I start screwing up.

In any event, drinking my Kolsch while my second brew mashes (Tripel, first was a Saison)
