Time to get busy on some funky fresh beats

Coffee...slept late. Rained late into the night last night...good sleep. Today, I'll rack my little batch of Cherry Belle Citra Saison and, judging from the soda bottle, pasteurizing my peach-pineapple tepache earlier than I thought.

Water. After finally getting off my ass and passing the BJCP entrance exam. Next stop is sitting on wait lists and driving however far I have to to take the damned tasting exam.
Figured a flavored porter was the best thing to start with as I wait for my strike water to cool down to mash temp (oops!) for my pumpkin porter.

And 8 pounds of roasted butternut squash and 3 pounds roasted sweet potatoes ready for the mash too!

Looks good. Didn't you use real pumpkin last time? I used canned pumpkin and added spices to it during the roast (in oven). I would double the spices from the last time I brewed my pumpkin.
I can't believe fall is almost here. I went from brewing a ton of pale ales, IPAs, wheat beers and other light stuff to now making some dark beer recipes so I can brew and have them ready for when fall hits. ****.

Ok, long-time lurker of this thread, finally jumping ship for a night and posting on here instead of BAI've only had 2 beers over the last 3 weeks (Founders Porter & Stone Coffee Milk Stout), so when this hit my lips... it was like catching up with a long-lost friend for the first time.

Out of all of the beers I've had from across the country, this is still one of my all-time favorites.. simply outstanding! Next up, (and surely I'm breaking an unwritten rule here), a sample of my take on FBS, after a week in the secondary with Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Bean, fresh roasted coffee (by a friend), Cocoa Nibs, Bakers Chocolate, cinnamon stick, and cayenne pepper (2 grams). Brew day and secondary pics here.

"Mexican coffee cake"
This is freaking nuts... 2g of cayenne was exactly the right amount! Just the perfect amount of kick on the back end, but by no means a "pepper" or "hot" beer. This is going to be fantastic once its bottled and kegged!
Ugh, can't shake this feeling. Maybe a Bloody Mary is in my future. Woke up at 1pm and feel like taking a nap.
Alcohol will make it better![]()
This really is the only hangover cure.

Crazy how alcohol is the cause and the cure.minutes away from napping or drinking.
