So mashing that much squash & potatoes without any rice hulls was a really, really bad idea. Thank god I still have my BIAB bag or I'd be screwed. On the plus side it smells awesome!

My tequila lime saison with taco salad. Perfect pair and I'm thinking the saison is right at its peak! Love pairing food and beer. Probably my favorite part of brewing
 
Has anyone seen a 2014 hop thread? . Im getting ready to harvest. Storm blew down the trellis. Lots of hops done but no way to put it back up.
 
Finally having DC's smoked RIS ... Glad I let this sit a bit since the smoke is still quite powerful. Tasty, but I'm definitely in the less smoke is better camp. ;)

You never know without trying though! Did you used a smoked grain or some other method? Speaking of which, this year for my porter I cold steeped the specialty grains (a little over two pounds in a gallon of distilled water.) I was afraid I'd get muted color from it, but no - it's dark as night. And the aroma was heavy chocolate. I'll know once it is ready, but I'm sure it won't have a lot of astringency and will be the way I go with porters from now no.

I used smoked grains. Need to look at the recipe. Those bastards were powerful.


Mashing out with a beer
 
just had about 1 1/2oz sample of my Helles Bock gone wrong. Brett & Pedio. 9% ABV funk. now onto my Irish Brown. and watching Adventure Time with our 3 y/o.
 
Yum! I'd love to try that if you're willing to give away a bottle. I'll give you something in return whether HB or commercial. :)

I got the racking done and pasteurized the peach-pineapple tepache. Both are small batch, but you know you're always on "The List". The tepache is pretty much ready whenever. I think I'm going to sit on the saison a couple of months.

I also have about a dozen bottles of non-alcoholic ginger beer. It's very sweet. Probably pasteurize those tomorrow night. I have a brother and a sister that each married Trinidadians, so they will probably get these as gifts. I may only open one to carb-test. However, I'm making a "second runnings" batch using the strained ginger and spices. I'm going to let this one ferment. OG is 1.069 and I think the ginger still has enough flavor after just one day, to give a longer, and fermented brew plenty of flavor. I put you down for one of these, too.
 
Back from beach. Still getting sun at home. Bomber of my Amarillo IPA - Capicu!
