What are you drinking now?

[BUCKNUTS]

Just had the same saison - the brett, how's it coming along? Might be something I need to explore.
On to this thanks to Fins quite a wile ago, age hasn't hurt it a bit

It's early but it's good, I pitched Brett bruxellensis from Wyeast along with the Belle saison yeast from the start hoping to get some funkiness to offset the tartness.

I've been doing the 1/16" on my own head lately. I'm loving having no hair, despite still having a full head of hair.

Still nursing the Java Porter.

That reminds me of a Seinfeld episode....

Water

 

[wyobrewer1]

HB IPA and freakin good. No phones at work anymore means I have 130 posts to catch up on.

 

[Whut]

First was a Dale's PA. But, now it's Hop Shock from SanTan.

 

[jeff62217]

Keg kicked on my imperial red rye ale, but have a batch ready to go so it'll be full again tomorrow morning with a 6.8% chinook ipa.

I got lucky and had a clear final glass, usually get a glass half full of yeast and trub.

Drinking a bridgeport hop czar .. good stuff

 

[BGBC]

Having a couple of PianoMan's HB's. Couldn't remember which these two were so opened together to compare. Pretty sure we've got a Citra Blonde and a Belgian.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Having the apfelwein that SWMBO opened and never finished.

Can we talk about what I will be drinking on Thursday night?

 

[onetoeddogbrewery]

getting my mind right for my trip to Colorado at the end of the week

 

[mattmmille]

Pole Vault Pale Ale. I think this was my first all grain. Bottled 4/8/14, 5.64% ABV. Still really good! The hops may have faded a little in the aroma and flavor, but not too much. Head retention and carb are good. Just about out of this one...sad, but good timing.

Yes sir I agree. Gknight was the first beer I tried from them. They haven't let me down yet.

Water to stay on topic of this thread

[Ridire]

Coffee.

Navigating my way through a sh!tstorm.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Coffee. Work is gonna suck due to getting our usual 3 year audit, but looking forward to getting home later and making more apfelwein and racking the mead.

So, is the general consensus that when I bottle my apfelwein that I should start another batch that same day?

Any unique things people do to change it up? Different sugars, spices, juices other than apple?

I am still yet to taste my first apfelwein but I think my batch is ready to bottle. It is crystal clear in the carboy.

Yes, I usually make another batch the same day if not within a couple days as long as I keep the airlock on.
I do a big cinnamon stick, 2lbs light brown sugar and 2lbs of corn sugar in each batch. Final Gravity should be less than 1.00 but sometimes it doesn't drop all the way down. I'll keg at 1.02 if it won't drop further. I did a batch with Nottingham and it was sweeter. Sometimes I'll backsweeten in the keg with a few cans of apple juice concentrate.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

Planning to brew two beers this weekend two lagers, also another hard lemonade and possibly a mead too. Need to make a 3 gal batch of Chocolate/ Habanero. That stuff was so good!

 

[Qhrumphf]

Drinking Mello Yello.

But looky what I found

The Total Wine out in Sterling had some. Had. Doesn't now. Grabbed all the Bluebird and Old Man, and a couple Bluebird XB but actually left a couple of those behind (it's not as good as the other two).

COFFEE!

anyway on break- cause im a model employee and i dont HBT while on the clock!

speaking of recipies, i wanna get a batch of cider going, thinking about doing a simple musselmans cider with US-05 maybe or nottinghams, the good fresh pressed cider isnt out yet here and i wanna get one going before hand so i can just pitch on the yeast cake and get 3 or so brews outta a packet o yeast- well does anyone have a good cider recipie, i already have apfelwein so i dont want something like that, every cider i have tried to make has been complete garbage except for the apfelwien... maybe i should go for a dedicated cider yeast since i will be attempting to do 3 batches outta it, hmm

thanks- back to work yo

 

[aharri1]

Good thing I was off work today. I pitched this at 930 last night I guess my stout really enjoyed the 2 extra pounds of brown sugar I added for the hell of it
