Subpar :( Just a very muddled, indistinct hop character.

In honor of our brothers lost in Boston, I am having an Enjoy By from Stone. Not Boston related, but still thinking about the poor families and friends dealing with the tragedy.
 
Having your ginger brew. Very ginger forward like ginger ale. It's good but I'll suggest a little more body/sweetness to it to balance out the sharpness of the ginger. It is a ginger brew lol


"I want to be smart as a horse and hung like Einstein"


Yea it was supposed to be something that my wife might enjoy. Was going for more ginger ale than beer. It was basically half brown sugar, half DME with a sh*t ton of ginger, some lemon zest and cayenne.

Wife still didn't like it in the end, but I think it goes down pretty easy, haha.

The ginger flavor has actually mellowed out a bit since it was fresh.
 
Semi aged Amarillo IPA. Some bottles are livelier than others. Drinking from a snifter helps. Unless my senses are just are livelier. Gotta bout a sixer of it left. Had a Schlafly Pumpkin 2012 also, pretty nice and I like em better aged thought it was harshly cinnamon last year so I let those sit to see if they would mellow, they did a little bit not enough yet. It was a little overhyped IMO but still pretty good.

It does go down easy. I didn't know it was just that. Lol for what it is, it was good. Going to try your others soon. Make sure you let me know when you try my hb. I don't want to miss what you think about it. Especially the Brett saison and the mead

Yea, I might do an AG version, but the first one was good for what it is. I think the ginger and lemon hides any potential off flavors. They're all on untappd under River St Alewerks.

I'll def let you know when I try yours. Gonna be offline for the next week or so, then back in business.

No rush. Just do not want to miss what you think. Need some feed back.

Buried hatchet is awesome.

Well i was doing a 5 gallon batch but ive been used to 6 lately, so i sparged up to 8 gallons instead of 7 preboil. Gravity was really low, obviously, so i had to add 2 cups DME. Itll be beer though, just pisses me off. Plus a buddy was over so I wasnt as focused on the brew as I should have been. He showed up after the mash, so its still all on me. Just a non-enjoyable brew session. I will stick to weekend morning brews.

Was this the RIS? I'm sure it'll work out fine.

Wasser.
 
More Coff.

Woke up super early so I could be at the office for a telepresence conference with these darn Brits. Just got a meeting invite for next week. Today's early morning meeting has been canceled. FML.

Can't wait to get home and drink. Huskies. MSG. Let's do it.

Water.
Anyone wanna tell a dummy (me) how to set up my Johnson controller? :eek:

Plug it in? :ban:

If it is anything like my cheapo aquarium controller, you can take an outlet, split it (individual controls for each receptacle), and put one on your got and one on your cold. Make sure you run your neutral wire through the Johnson rather than your hot wire.

Coffee.
 
Terrible brew day, getting better now.

Sorry about the brew day.
I love Buried Hatchet. They'll most likely have it on nitro for their anniversary party Saturday. Mmmm, can't wait. It'll taste even better with a horse head on. ;)
