First try of a hb IIPA, 12.25% and the biggest beer I've made yet. First two tries yeilded two whole hop pellets stopping up the liquid out post.

Third time was a charm, but still some hop debris. Tastes amazing, any alcohol heat is nicely covered by the immense bitterness and hop flavor.

But craft beer as a whole only gets a week, why does one style get a whole month? I'll give them a day, how 'bout that? ;)

They set it up as a month because it's a whole month in the UK.

I would settle for a single day. I was joking about it during IPA day. I didn't think anyone would actually do it. I've had Mad Fox's Mild many times, I'll definitely have to get my hands on the others (even if it's a drive to the various taprooms).

I was under the impression that the entire year is dedicated to mild since that's all they seem to drink over there, haha.
 
No, it takes a whole month of drinking them to feel the same effect that you can from other beer in two hours.

One last water while cleaning kegs.


FTFY. I'm not kidding, either. I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever brew a mild. What's the point? Some of the beers (including IPAs) I brew are 4-5x the ABV of a mild. The English are something else.

The point is that they taste good. That's the only point I need.

And I too brew beers 4-5x the ABV of my Mild. Just not many of them. Hah.

Stopped at the bottle shop on the way home to get boulevards new ipa. The owner gifted me this while i was there. Hell yeah!

The owner of my shop gives me bottles from time to time, but nothing like that. Very nice! I'm excited to see how The Calling is. It will probably a few months before I get it. I'm still waiting on the Imperial Stout X-coffee to show up.
Having ice tea with some KFC.
 
Looks like no beer tonight. You'd think ice in Texas was the a sign of the apocalypse. Places closing early and people freaking out on the roads. Don't feel like driving out in this and not going to stoop to a ****ty tallboy from the 7-11.

Just hoping I can get out of here tomorrow night. Been a rough week for travel..

I wish you luck, supposed to be a **** show tomorrow here.

Last amarillo IPA,
 
Ain't that always the way;)

Yep! They look the prettiest when they're about to kick. Bottled a 22 and part of a 22 and then it kicked. I've learned how it works. At least my DIPA is now in the kegerator chilling.

Cherry wheat while patiently waiting on the DIPA to chill.
 
Man. This thread is awesome, but how do you deal with the maintenance?

I mean, click pic. Done. Upload. Cool. Post. What up? Oh ****, so many pics. Delete. Delete. Delete. I don't remember any of this. Delete. Delete. Ok. That should be good for a while.

Cycle repeats in 4 days.

Busch Light. Come onnnn pipeline, hold steady.

I have to clear my phone pics every month or two.. the ones I upload to my computer I just let em stack up... Nowhere near hitting my 2TB hard drive limit yet.
 
Picked up a bomber of Founders Blushing Monk today...need an occasion to open it. Right now, I'm moving off on kombucha and feeling kind of crappy. I don't think there will be alcohol on the schedule tonight, for me.
