What are you drinking now?

having a homebrewed brett saison dryhopped with galaxy & mosaic.

Really wish I gone for higher carb volume, but other than that the dry funkiness mixed with that juicy tropical/citrus/peach hop profile is quite good.

Come payday in a couple days I'll be hitting the bottle shop. Until then, PBR is what I'm drinking. If PBR is water, I don't know what everything else in the American Lager arena qualifies as. Air?

Does the hop flavor hold for the long storage required to get the brett flavor? I am new to brewing with brett and this is one of my questions (will be brewing a rye saison on Saturday with ~55 IBU and will put half away with some brett L).

[Hello]

Really not sure about this. Recommended by the bottle shop. Letting it warm up a bit. Rail House Stout. It's very different but in a good way i think.

Hop ranch. Really good. Gonna throw the headphones in and blast some pearl jam while having a few more and not waking the wife and kids....

This particular beer was bulk/secondary aged with brett for 9/10 months and then aggressively dry-hopped 2 weeks before bottling.

True. I have no prob rocking the Pbr. Usually have a 30 pk around.

Drinking some rye saison. Really not happy with this one... Less than a dozen left so I may just clean the drain with the rest

Resin. Just as amazing as I dreamed

Ah, thank you for that clarification, that is what I was thinking needed to be done.

Finally having the Wytchmaker, had to deal with things first and eat dinner. This batch is from June and doesn't mention brett on the label, but it is definitely in there (the new bottles will say brett on there since it seems like they are going for nearly the exact same yeast blend for each beer). Strong pineapple flavor, so probably brett C?

I have made several beers that were dry hopped and then bottled with brett. Oxygen causes hop flavor/aroma to fade and since brett is an anti-oxidative yeast (or something like that) hops stay around much longer with brett than without.

Awesome, never thought of it like that. The saison would sit about 8-10 months on the brett before I bottle, so I could always dry hop it with 2-3 oz at the end. However I am guessing that the yeast will all be dead, so the brett would do the carbing, does that mean carbing would take longer when bottled?

Where's the schraderbrau????? Great show. Just finished watching after amc was nice enough to replay the entire series right around New Year's Day. Saved me a lot of coin using the DVR

Another Hop Ranch. Sneaky sneaky at 9%. Switching to some locals next.

German IPAII- German pale malt,german munich,german wheat, german carahell,german carared, german vienna, German hops NB, hershbrucker,Tettnanger. German kolsh yeast. Didnt hit my gravity,kind of low so more of an extra pale ale really. Tet was actually U.S., NB had to subb them for me without my consent. I like tettnager alot though. I wish I had gotten a bigger gravity when making all 3 of my german ipas. All taste like pale ales. And good ones. It also went I=good II=better III=best. Had variance of malts/hops. Kolsh hits a pretty tight dry gravity around 1.008. OH and their about 9 months bottled, slightly overcarbed, great head retention/creaminess and thick lace. Id brew again if I knew for certain which malts made my day more. Cant really say for certain. Used a small amout of too many malts I guess.

Buried Hatchet Stout. Always solid

 

[bigmike99]

Hoppyum IPA from foothills. My pops grabbed it as an extra while grabbing some westbrook goods at our place in myrtle. Solid easy drinking IPA. Can't pinpoint the aroma hops but I've used it a ton. Cascade maybe?

Nice pale lager

One of my favorites by them

 

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

Right Brain Fire Starter Chipotle Porter. Not very spicy but good chipotle flavor without being overwhelming on the adobo.

 

[Leubega]

Lagunitas sucks after a long, boring shift at work. About time to replenish the beer fridge since all that's left commercially is 5 more of these and my roomates case of stella.

 

[SABRES32]

In Africa for the next few months drinking, Brakina, Flag, 33 Export, Pelforth, Beaufort, Guinness Extra Foreign Stout, to name a few...can't wait to get back home to my home brew.

Aging to 12 months - Oak Barrel Whiskey Porter

Hopefully the 4-5 that were still on tap when I left in Nov will be still good when I return in early May.

Honey Porter, Black Lager, Oktoberfest, DoppleBock

I assure you that I was kidding around.
