Home early from work. Good stuff.

Late afternoon cappuccino. Gotta start figuring out dinner soon. Soup in the crock pot will be better tomorrow.
 
Brett B Red and Brett L Kriek gravity samples. The Brett B is holding steady at 1.011. Hasn't changed in ~2 weeks. Hit it with 2 oz of Wakatu as a dry hop, since I got em free and didn't know what else to do with him and planned on use Hallertau anyway and they're similar. Brett L has dropped back down to 1.003 (where it was pre-fruit), but needs more cherry, 5 lbs in 5 gallons isn't enough. It's noticeable but very, very subtle.

For my kriek, I racked 5 gallons onto 8 lbs of cherries for 8 months. Then re-racked onto 4 more lbs for an additional 3 months before bottling. I think it could have still used more.

Yeah, I rarely make fruit beers but when I do I never seem to use enough. Tastes good though.

Another Murphy's.
 
Last night:

Three bull**** bottles from Hydra Beer Company in Sioux Falls. Not sure what kind of drugs would make a brewery think pre-aging a DIPA would be a good idea.

After I tried those for some feedback to an industry member:

Sweet Baby Jesus
Avery Liliko'i Ke Polo
Malta Guinness (messing with the group a little)
Rare Barrel Map of the Sun
Casey Fruit Stand Montromency
Bell's Neptune
Mikkeller Beer Geek Brunch Weasel
Widmer 2012 Imperial Stout Raspberry
Avery Rumpkin 2015

Today:
Boulevard 80 Acre
Long Island iced tea (drink special at lunch)

More tonight.
