What are you drinking now?

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

Thanks. Installed the Pixlr Express App Nuke mentioned.

36 gallons ain't scheet when you got Blingmann!

Got the vanilla stout bottled, including a liter in a Tired Hands growler , cold crashing more brett to send out, and now have 9 cases of beer in the 'warm room' aka bedroom closet. Good beer day here!

Also put myself down for 20 gallons of fresh pressed cider for this Sunday. New cidery (is that the right term?) in Asheville is hosting the homebrew club there for pressing. I've been meaning to join as $20 comes with a lot of cool events like this one where the first 5 gallons is on the club for members. Should be $1-$1.50 a gallon after that. Doing 6 gallons wild, 4 are going in the fridge to drink, and then doing two 5 gallon batches for a friend with Celiac's. Probably splitting those between an English ale yeast and some other clean strain. First time making cider, should be fun.

Ill be picking up another 10 gallons from local cidery on next press so I can do half with a brett strain. Dropped off my carboys this morning

Got 3 gallons going this weekend. Planning to split either 2 or 3 ways. Definitely dry hopping at least one split. Another will get blackberries and oak. Maybe another plain, or try two different dry hops...Decisions, decisions...

I was thinking about oak in some as well maybe with a little vanilla. Id like to find a source for some hot cinnamon without the fake candylike taste

Long Trail IPA. Meh it's alright... not hoppy enough for me. It's more of what I'd call a Pale Ale, but I'm a hop-lunatic so that's probably me and not them.

Marks schwarzBEEr. Sorry my pils glasses are packed up Mark. Figured a stemless glass would do it justice.

Very tastey! I haven't had a schwarzbier in awhile, so very smooth, great representation.

Figured you were busy with brewery stuff today, as quiet as you were!

I did actual productive, boring stuff, too.

 

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

First bottle of my green tea kombucha project. I gotta say closest to a bullseye on a first shot than Ive ever come. Its absolutely delicious.(4%) Awesome tartness and nice depth of flavor and fairly dry. The carb is very effervescent like a sparkling wine would be. Was planning on brewing Skeeter today but I think Im starting more bucha instead

 

[FermentNEthinG]

Have to nourish my liver before I bottle these Berliners...finally.

I know it's the wrong time of year to be brewing them, but with the fresh harvest wheat malted here I've been itching to do a ten gallon batch with various treatments. Going to sour with lacto instead of sour mash. Probably pitch 3942 and C2 brett I've been using in them. Rambutan are kind spendy, but itching to know what those will taste like in a beer. Might do Rambutam alone, Rambutan & Crysanthemum, Persimmon, Jackfruit, and Blueberry. Of course that will be over $100 in 3 gallon fermentors so it might not happen.

Drinking my Blackberry Berliner now, trying not to consume too much alcohol before I get this cereal mash & step mash done.

Geeeeeeze. That'd be a beautiful beer, but hell man. Imagine what you'd have to charge for that at the brewery?

 

[FermentNEthinG]

Gabe's Green Shredder Weisse recipe without the the brett strain as it was on the way as I was making it.
Then split the recipe into 2-3 gallon batches. One was sweet/sour local cherries as well as a blueberry. They are literally tasting like a war head candy after the 4 day sour with a heat wrap. I am digging it. Plus the step mash was actually pretty fun!

$6 pints, $4 8oz is what I'm planning for 'specialty' beers aka beers with stuff in them. Plain version and other session beers for $4.

We'll be the first place in TN or at least the first place east of Nashville with a glass sprayer, I'm hoping that awes the locals. Closest brewery charges $3.50 for pints. There's a chain pizza place that's very popular and charges $6 for French Broad (it's a brewery, not your sister) so I think I'm ok on pricing.

You'll do well with those prices. You won't be able to brew fast enough!

I hadn't really heard of Rambutan until I saw em at the asian market where we buy most of our produce. I thought they were a weird form a lychee, and appear to be related. I might have to pick some up, since lychee is so delicious.

Drinking my 3724 Saison.

I found them underwhelming at first and now I can't get enough of them.

I've been too scared to buy a jackfruit yet. $1.49 lb here puts them around $40. Between that and cutting them up, it's rather intimidating. Sounds like the best fruit ever, especially in beer. Have you tried it?

 

[Channel66]

Gabe are you going to bake any bread to serve with your beers? Bread looks great on a flight plank

I'm drinking and grilling, watching ozzy herding the goats into the shed, letting them out, then doing again. He's got a sick sense of humor that dog.

It is out of season but since I am loaded up with yeast and river bend malts, I might as well fire up a batch.

I will have to get a pm to you to identify your chicken scratch on the vial labels.. But your handwriting on the shipping label is pretty damn good I must say!

I must say Jack fruit is one fruit I have never come across before. I will have to search that one out for consumption.

I'm assuming I won't have time to bake there, at least I hope not. I'm not opening a brewery to work less, but to work just as hard and actually make money. I don't want to sink the same amount of cash in a bakery to have to fight to make a living.

No problem. PM for my phone number if you don't have it and want to text pics. My handwriting is awful. I got the Mrs. to do the address labels.

Jackfruit is the largest tree fruit. Supposed to be what Juicyfruit gum is modeled after.
