Just starting to brew some bucha, my old standard iced tea doesn't stand a chance anymore, never ending cycle!

I'm going to have to throw some hops in a batch, I wonder dryhop or steep?


I'm guessing that one was a hop tea. Not a huge hop aroma, but the flavor worked nicely.
 
It infected a 100% brett beer after many cleaning soaks and scrubs, past drinkability.

And BTW, brett is a yeast so you dont have to designate fermentors. If you clean properly it wont infect future batches.

I was under the impression that Brett was good at defending itself, making it tough to clean and just as hard to get rid of as bacterial contaminants. Maybe I'm overly paranoid, but my regular equipment doesn't touch my Brett beers. They use the sour gear like the rest of my sour brews.
 
A liter of my bohemian pilsner. Excellent end to an evening of yard work.

I'm the same and keep separate equipment, but it isnt necessary if you clean properly. Themadfermentationist uses any of his fermentors, plastic or glass, with bretts and non bretts and never has a problem.

Finishing an hb pale ale while I throw together a little "Ginger-Mint Bug" for making soda...looked like an interesting ingredient!

Experimental IPA bittered with warrior and using hallertau blanc and hull melon as late additions. Amazing honeydew melon/apricot aroma. First pull from the keg has some hop "flavor crystals"

It's no KBS but I grabbed a bomber of Port Brewing Mongo IPA. Pretty tasty. Not as fresh as I would like but still amazing.

Real Ale 4-squared after a nice long late night walk with the husky (she isn't a fan of our warmer spring days). Bford sent it up from Texas in an eMAW.

Brasserie de Blaugies, Darbyste fig fruited saison. Not for everyone, but I like it so well that it inspired my first fruited saison (my own all grain recipe) which is currently in second day of primary fermentation.
 
You crazy kids were busy. I did a little 4 mile hike/jog then went out and undid all that work. I had a couple beers and pasta. Unexpected invite so whatever. Drinking water.
 
Coffee while wondering why I bother. Typical scenario around here:

1. Random person says to me "hey, I have a potential problem, do you know how to avoid it?"

2. Me: Yes, you need to do X, Y and Z and you will have no issues.

3. Random Person [weeks later]: Well, remember when you told me to do X, Y and Z and I won't have any problems?

4. Me: Yes...

5. Random Person: well, I really didn't want to do Y, so I just did X and Z. Things did not work out well and I have a huge problem now that is an emergency. Can you fix it?

6. Me: [looks for a sharp object to either kill Random Person or open my own wrist...]
