Nugget Nectar. Slightly more balanced than Global Warmer.

Having my first taste of my home fermented "Murray's Super Easy Cider". A pleasant surprise: it has a decent, light carb that I wasn't expecting! Sweet, pretty color, and a lot of apple flavor. Pretty exciting, because this commercial cider comes from Roanoke, Virginia, in a 1/2 gallon glass carboy and is made from whole apples, no sweeteners added and it's pastuerized. I literally just added some Safale s-04 yeast added the airlock and let it go several days from OG 1.051 down to 1.014. I racked it off the lees and let it settle a couple of days and then bottled it. I'll be doing more and bigger batches of this one!

Green Flash Brewing Trippel. A nice example of a Belgian style triple. Can't wait till next year when they open their VA Beach brewery and beer garden. I'll be getting back there just in time.

Sent from 35 miles north of the Arctic circle.

Apple Jack. My 2nd batch of cider wasn't up to snuff either, but it made decent Apple Jack. Frozen to -15f this is some stout stuff though :drunk:

I realized today that the Kentucky Common keg was about to kick too. I need some more easy drinking beer so I made a 60 shilling and a Boston Lager clone today instead of an Old Chub clone. It works out well since I'll use the slurry from the 60 for the Old Chub next weekend and I'll have some more session beer to drink. Once the KC is gone I won't have anything under 6% left in the keezer, and that simply will not do. I might do an English bitter too pretty soon too, that's been sounding good for a while :D
 
Tasty stuff. Very light funk and sour. Ridiculously refreshing.

Victory just started distributing here so I had to grab this when I saw it. Not great, but a decent ipa. A little too sweet for my tastes

Definitely get DirtWolf and Hop Ranch if you see them, and the monkeys are good too (I'd think you'll get golden, maybe not white)

Having water while I decide if I should work out on a holiday ...
 
That quote seems like it eliminates a ton of styles that you'd enjoy. Bummer. There are some awesome beers, especially German ones that are sweet and outstanding.

Yeah... My family jokes about my comment on everything is 'too sweet.'

I can have small amounts of sweet beer but don't think I could do more than a litre or two of an Octoberfest.

Beans, eggs and coffee.
 
Coffee. HVAC guy cancelled, order isn't in I guess. I'm only annoyed because now I have to move everything around tomorrow to be home for him.

I think I need something stronger. I think lugging a full size mattress set and bed frame upstairs by myself was a poor idea. Either I've aged 20 years over night or I pulled something.

Those were two I was hoping to see. Only have 3 in right now. The Hop Devil, Golden Monkey (which is what I almost grabbed), and I can't remember the last one atm.

Fresh french-pressed coffee done Irish since I am off all week

Is anyone who is fairly active on this thread named Kirk? Serious question actually.
