[Remmy]

Beer'd Brewing Ocean Breathes Salty Oyster Stout as I heat my strike water. First solo brew day since the shoulder surgery.

What's brewin'?

I won't be brewing for a while (I have too much beer). But it's snowing, which means I'll be drinking like a fish today.

Having OJ.

That beer sounds awesome. How is it? I'm tired of living around breweries with boring offerings.

The problem is you live in a boring state. Wait, I do, too. Who's beer is better? @nukebrewer should be able to decide that for us as he is a Texan living in CT.

I thought black velvet paintings has to be Elvis?!

D'oh! Now I have to go get a beer, I guess.

Happy Birthday!

Had my fill of coffee (no pic since @coldcrash is on vacation) and ran to the grocery store already. Snow is falling earlier than predicted so I postponed the den meeting. Now there is nor'easter I cant drink this afternoon!

The real problem is, I live in a boring area of a state that is way behind most other states in craft beer. Stupid laws here held things back for a long time. Also, I want to say only two breweries in the greater Houston area actually offer growler fills. And most breweries around here are afraid to get too creative with their beer. Texas is a great state to live in, but not the greatest craft beer state. But, we'll catch up eventually. I guess I should probably stop complaining and just brew more.

It's fairly decent. I've never had an oyster stout where I could tell there were oysters used in it, but it's definitely a well brewed beer.

My dilemma here is that relatively speaking, I've had beer from pretty much every CT brewery, but only a handful of TX breweries (and most of those from the Houston area), so my bias is towards CT. That bias is almost entirely driven by New England Brewing Company, though, so take that for what it's worth.

Just wait until I get back into town for good, haha! I'll be the Sam Calagione of Texas, only I will brew good beer, haha!

Finishing off the growlette (or howler or whatever you want to call it) of oyster stout. No pic cause I already took one.

Coffee. Home brewing and this forum has made me way more confident in having a go at little DIY projects. I etched my HLT today, I would never have attempted stuff like this previously or I would have rushed it and done a horrible job. Just need to find some adhesive number stencils now!

I have had one - I can't for the life of me remember what it was called but it definitely had a distinctive flavour (in a good way). I'm not sure that the 'oyster' stouts produced by the big breweries over here actually have oysters in them any more, probably flavourings instead.

Building up dreg cultures is hard work. Half way through the boil now. Havent calculated yet but efficiency was way higher than 80% like I predicted. Turbid mash seemed to go pretty dang well, hit all my temps no problem. Now I wait 18 months to see if it paid off.

So, you're going to brew a bunch of "ancient" beers and make them not taste like under attenuated sewer water?

Nice work!

Having a Legend Brown Ale at Applebee's in the Richmond airport. Decent selection, surprisingly.

Wife's flight home was canceled today, rebooked on a much earlier flight. Scrambled to pack up, drove 2 hours in freezing rain, rental car caked with ice. She made it on the flight, but checked bags were late so they might not make it today. Now I have 5 hours until my flight to TX.
