What are you drinking now?

[Ridire]

Make sure they get plenty of water and something to grow on

Will my dogs eat this **** and die?

How about sun exposure? I have options.

It is Wilmette and Cascade, if that matters.

So, I got some mature hop plants from a friend. I know nothing about growing. Any tips?

Put them in dirt?

 

[Remmy]

Put them in dirt?

Been on the water almost all day.

 

[MrNickVT]

The norm around here!

They shouldn't but you never know the cones will be high and the dog shouldn't reach. I say a place that gets sun most of the day

Visiting family in Ohio so picked up a few Ohio brews I can't get in Mi to try. Really like this one. And love the label.

I need to get some pisco... Love sours and capirhinias.

Now an oarsman. Might switch it up later after the kiddo is asleep.

Another from the same SMaSH series- a little too bland for my tastes, but not bad for a pale ale.

Griffin Claw's Norm's Raggedy Ass IPA

 

[Ridire]

One more of my astringent Pales as a nightcap. If I were told every day for the rest of my life would be like today, I'd be ok with it.

Could this be the most amazing beer in the world?

Rye of the tiger, while trying to undo any health value of squash with cheese.

Doing a head to head comparison. My milk stout made with Costa Rican cocoa husks in primary and nibs in the secondary and then bottled with a home-brewed Kona blend cold-brewed coffee concentrate...I call it a Mocha Latte Stout...versus Troegs Java Head.

Okay...Troegs has got a better head on the pour and dissipates, leaving a partial thin layer on the surface. As I drink it, it leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Mine is a more fizzy carb and the head goes away. No lacing.

Coffee is clearly present in the aroma on Java Head. I quickly get a malt sweetness and a hit that I think is hops and quickly becomes coffee with a slightly sour, then bitter finish. The aroma on mine is a little sweeter coffee with the chocolate coming through. The flavor on mine is definitely coffee and a little chocolate. It has bitterness, but there's nothing "hoppy" about it and it doesn't really linger. I think the sweetness in mine is all chocolate/lactose, I think they cover any hops and I don't get malt.

So, while I think mine very tasty and I like the coffee/chocolate flavor, Troegs Java Head is definitely more complex and, though the coffee is obvious, the malt and hops still manage to come through. And the carb/head is much smoother and finer than mine.

I plan to brew an all-grain version of mine in the future and I'll make some tweaks to refine the head and carb, and I may change the hops variety and bump the amount...or have a 15 minute addition. I'm not sure how to not cover the malt.

So...both good, mine not as complex...and I'm having fun getting smacked!
