What are you drinking now?

[nukebrewer]

Just took a sample of my imperial pumpkin and the results are... interesting. It fermented out way further than I thought it would. It was supposed to only go down to 1.021, but my hydrometer just read ~1.010-1.008. That makes for an ABV of ~10.2% rather than the orginally planned 8.9%. Looks like my mash temp was a bit off. The maple syrup is also quite prevalent. Hope that tones down a bit. I brewed the exact same recipe last year and this is a completely different beer.

But the real distracting image is the blow off from the airlock to the left.

Do you hate the beer, kind of, or just not sure totally? It is a beautiful beer.

I hope your not going to be reposting that every 15 minutes all night.

 

[Hello]

Water. Meeting rescheduled to 4:30 and for that they got nothing but a big "decline" from me. Seriously. Most days I would not care but I have things to do and people to bring beer too.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Hard Limeaid. Made less sweet so I can have some. Under 30 crowd may not be pleased.

Seriously over carbonated but very good Red Porter from Black Shirt Brewing. I wear a ton of black shirts so this is a brewery I can be on board with.

That is odd - didn't have that happen with the couple i had here (same 6-pack). I'm thinking there may be something to the whole carbonation / altitude thing.

i got 2 more hours of drinking water at the office before beer drinking can begin

Another pour of the iipa while swmbo has an apfelwein.

Yeah, it was kind of a vigorous fermentation, obviously.

No, I don't hate the beer, just want that maple syrup smell to go away. If it was less pronounced it would be fine, but it's all up in your face.

Having a bottle of my Goldilocks Kolsch. I just had a great idea for when trick or treaters come. I have a bag of canned vegetables sitting next to my door that's going to be put out for the Boy Scouts to pick up tomorrow. I'm going to pretend I don't have any candy and try to give them canned vegetables instead and when they look their saddest, I'll whip out the bowl of candy and win over their easily manipulated hearts and minds.

 

[2drunk2]

Kicking off with a Killer Kolsch by Champion Brewing Company.

 

[PatrickGoss]

I have a new best beer at the local grocery store.

Those are well carved pumpkins!

Trying to pick a beverage to carry trick or treating. Thinking warm whiskey with milk and honey or pockets full of bmc.

NOLA Mecha Hopzilla thx to @tobyg in #properglassware, also thx to @tobyg.

Pours golden orange with a dense 1 finger head

Aromas of fresh pine and grapefruit with some sweet bready malt out back

Body is lush and just lightly sticks to the palate. Same flavors in aroma come thru with an assertive bitterness without being overdone

Finish has a touch of booze but just showing its "double" side. Enjoy the malt that also lingers behind the sticky resin left on the palate.

Very delicious dipa that i could pound a bunch off!

Cheers guys happy halloween!
If i dont get to drunk ill post some pumpkins im tearing into tnite.

Wasent sure which picture did more justice so i posted both lol.

Not sure how wobrien does it, but I just cover bacon in brown sugar and bake it in the oven. It's so good!

Noticed that the beer I just opened had a "Best by Dec 30 13" on the label. Oh well, tastes fine lol

 

[nukebrewer]

@Johnnyhitch1 sent me this in my eMAW package. Very nice brew that I don't get to have too often.
