What are you drinking now?

[Terek]

This is an aged double IPA that a small local brewery makes. They only do 10 barrel batches at a time. I know what your thinking, an aged IPA!?! But......it is freaking AWSOME. The hops mellow out and change to be kind of flowery I guess. I'm bad at describing taste, but believe me, it's simply orgasmic. They don't release the bottles till they are 9 months old, and it kept this particular one in my cellar another 3 months. Today was my biggest brew day ever (two 5 gal batches, and two 2 gallon ciders, and secondary ing another cider. 9 hours) as well as an old friend in town helped out, seemed fit to crack this baby.

EDIT: didn't realize the pic was so blurry, kind of disappointed......like keeping my nice beer pics

Left overs from bottling, 10.2% rootbeer and that glass have me a hell of a buzz lol, this is going to be an awesome brew when carbed View attachment 189524

care to share your recipe?

 

[Billy-Klubb]

Bottling is enough of a pain in the d!ck. and I have like 5 cases of bottles with labels. Not happening anytime soon if it does. The 3 cases label less are enough for me right now

I can remember almost c lear as a bell when i GAVE UP DE-LABELING. I was drinking some home brews & getting rerady to bottle a batch. I was soaking bottles in the tub to remove the lables & thought, "what a crock of s***. why the flocc am I wasting my time?"



flocc y'all. sloppy satruday.

You don't have to worry about that when you recycle your older homebrews. I keep mine in circulation. I think Im pretty much done with de-labeling. Only because I have so many in circulation. Only time I care about labels is if anybody else drinks them and they are good enough to make labels. Prolly why people keg too.

 

[Pinebarrensbrew]

I had 3 homebrews and now I'm passing out from the NyQuil/ipa mix. And I don't want to sh!t to get weird without anyone here with me. Lol. So a pint of water and a ramen it is for me for the rest of the night

Side by sided my very first ever homebrew, an English brown ale, with Newcastle. Mine is on the left. It's less clear, obviously, but the depth of the mug versus the depth of the newcastle class contributed to that partially. Being completely honest, I think my brew SMELLS better, and the head has better quality/is a lot creamier. Unfortunately, though, the high-ish temperatures (my apartment was ~70 degrees during fermentation), brought on a significant amount of off flavors that mask all the normal brown ale flavors that SHOULD be present. Oh well, that's an excuse to do another brew with lessons learned once this wheat beer is out of the fermenter (which is being chilled in a water bath for the first week!)! I'm also making sure I don't make the mistake of EVER throwing away pop-top bottles again, so I can REALLY expand this pipeline! :rockin: I really love those cool Hoegaarden bottles with the flair in the neck, even though I'm not the *biggest* fan of the citrusy flavor.

Oh, and I've moved onto Schlafly Pale Ale. Man, I need to brew in THIS style too. So much beer, not enough fermentation, bottle, and stomach space! I have so many things I want to throw into my pipeline, but as an Aerospace Engineering student, I can't (mentally) afford getting buzzed all the freaking time, and I don't want to give out homebrews until I know they're GOOD.

Im at the point where I have to recycle them for pickup, and Im pretty shure I never have to worry about delabeling ever again in my future brewing history(Does this even make floccing sense?). I kinda didn't realize what a massive small batch pipeline I had created over a few years. I toss out the ones Im too lazy to rinse the night before or day after for fear of crustization.

Leinenkugel's Canoe Paddler. Kolsh style with rye.

My wife left to go shopping earlier today. I told her to buy me something nice. She bought me a six pack of this beer. I've had four so far.

She bought me something nice. A very good beer.

What kind of oats did you use, Jill?

From what I've read, oats either have to be pre-cooked in some fashion (which, depending on brand/type, they are), or mashed with some base malt.

(edit - formatting/punctuation)

I bought it from liquor store in Atlanta so no recipe here good stuff though!

So its possible you may **** the bed? Sounds like Depends(diaper) or a friend? Not shure about that ramen msg dinner though. good luck.

I hear ya. I wanna keg but not dyin to. Have it streamlined to where I bottle 5 gallons in about 30 minutes

I don't know which 4 letter body movement you meant but both are a definate possibility when you factor in the ramen I'm gonna leave a **** before I konk out for the night. Ill leave that to your imagination. Haha.

 

[Old-Irving]

My Helles Lager homebrew. Bottled it 6 weeks ago. It is carbed and ready to drink.

 

[Whut]

How u like it? It has no safety but has a half cock... I guess thats normal for a lever

See below.

I have a lever action 30-30 Marlin. I think it's a Marlin. beautiful rifle with awesome action & open sights.

This. Time for another beer from the garage.

In "celebration" of getting my 2013 tax returns and Q1 estimated taxes all dealt with, I've been replacing all the lost blood by riffling through my taplist from end to end and back again. I've been drinking since 6PM, downed (counts fingers) at least 11 pints (done the wheat twice now) and I'm still...pretty much functional (although, let's face it, "Unsafe At Any Speed" )

If I make it all the way back to the Stout again, tomorrow is going to be a complete veg-out day...

Cheers!

 

[jmcquesten]

Stone Double Bastard... were these limited release or something? The beer store acted like they were hard to get. Maybe they were just sold out.
Anyways, it's a pretty good beer but maybe a little hot, can definitely taste the 11.2%.

 

[Fuzzymittenbrewing]

Nope. If you went there drove them home and went straight back to your place I'd let that slide. Now if you were shot gunning beers with them and hit a grav and may yak in your sleep then it may be wise to fess up

Wish i read that before i woke her up like a moron and told her cause i felt guilty... I may be single soon

 

[Pinebarrensbrew]

I wish I had gotten to it sooner. You'll be alright. I fight with my old lady every other weekend because she hates when I go to my buddy's house cause she doesn't like his sister. Just sling some d.lol. And in my case I have to explain to her that my grizzly Adams ass isn't on the menu for 99.9 percent of women out there. Lol and the .01% are probably in prison (stole that line from jase on duck dynasty) she hasn't picked up on it yet. Lol
