What are you drinking now?

[thatjonguy]

Whatever SWMBO says...mother's day and what not.

 

[finsfan]

O yeah.

 

[Hello]

Damn! Luckily it was only one bottle. I forgot I even had this. It was a trade from a few months ago from either splattsmier or banesong. I was really looking forward to drinking this one too. For what it's worth, it made the kitchen smell great! Wish I could've drank this one.

I don't want to call the guy out but that is a banesong label if I ever saw one. He makes great beer. I am happy to say mine are all in the fridge, what I do have left.

Good.

BTW, I've been shirtless all day. Nice as hell out here in CT and I don't have neighbors. You're lucky I'm not on the front porch drinking naked.

I miss out on all the great offers.


Cream soda. I am about to find a beer. Home for the day and waiting for it to get a little later so I can make dinner.

My ginger brew

More water as I wait for my wort to finish cooling. Six gallons of DIPA about to hit the fermenter.

Agreed. His other brews were damn good. I'm really pissed that I didn't get to drink that one.

Recycled pic. Very discouraging, as I cannot point to exactly what caused this to turn out as it did. With a SMaSH brew, it's tough to just blame the recipe. Think I'll go to provenly good recipe for the next brew and see how it turns out.


Sent from here, because that's where I am.

What's wrong with it?

What's wrong with it?

I am horrible at describing tastes. It has a very harsh finish. Finsfan has one. Maybe he will be able to describe what this tastes like. My last beer was very good...as was the one before that. Thought I was figuring this all out.

But, this was my first beer with a cooler tun so there were some learning moments in the process. The only procedural thing I can point to that did not go well was that I think my crush was too fine.

Thinking maybe I'll do Cream of Three Crops next. That seems to be universally considered a solid recipe for a summer beer.

Snow? Haven't seen it in a bit.
Hanging out at a park with the kids and my fiancee's brother's family and her mom. 70 something°.

Ive never heard of too fine of a crush hurting the taste of a beer. IF anything, it could be that some husks got through and turned it astringent. I accidentally put yours straight in the fridge when I got it, so i'll give it a few more weeks to carb and then I will let you know what I think. And dont get discouraged. I had the same problem, my first two all grains were good and then I went through about 2 or 3 that were terrible. I wanted to stop but glad I didnt. My next beer was great and they just keep getting better. The more you brew, the more it just becomes habit and the process comes easy. It sucks to have 40 or 50 bad beers, and I even tried giving some of mine time but ended up dumping a lot and cutting my losses.

To summarize, keep brewing! :rockin:

Post lawn mowing beer while my two ladies nap. Tastes like orange soda.

It looks like this in Denver today.

The good thing is no yard work, just gotta drink all day.

Haha no....... She has been running around like crazy doing stuff to get ready for her students dance recitals on Friday and last night. I think it got the best of her.

 

[nukebrewer]

Had to work today, but I'm off now and enjoying the rest of my Sunday.

 

[ChefRex]

Tasty on a hot day!

 

[MrNickVT]

Just relaxing.

 

[nukebrewer]

Meh. Pineapple flavor tastes too artificial. Would probably have been better if it was secondaried on fruit instead of just having juice added.

2€ a bottle for the Roq10, or a little under $3 a bottle. my cousin has been stationed in Germany for the past few years and when they moved her back she basically had a whole cargo container to fill so she picked those up, and many many more.

I won't quit. I've only done 9-10 batches (all but 2 AG) and only one turned out really bad (verdict still out on this one until I give it some time). I was going to cobble together a Christmas beer based on others' recipes and let it age. But now I'm inclined to follow a recipe by rote with my mash tun to verify that my processes are working ( eliminate bad recipe as a variable).

Astringency from the husks is whet I was alluding to when I mentioned my crush. I had a bear if a time getting clear runnings.

Coffee right now at my mom's for Mothers Day/my birthday.
