What are you drinking now?

I’m glad you don’t think it has any off flavors. Maybe I’m being overly critical of my beers lately. I’ve brewed that recipe before and my memory recalls it being more malty/sweet. That’s my problem too... I don’t have a very delicate palette and am horrible at describing flavors. I’ll drink it down and make a new batch again soon.

BE overly critical! Makes you hunt for solutions my friend. Also, you may have ultra sensitive taste buds. Trust yourself.

HB 9.5% BA Quad. Girls are making me drink!

Stop using the app and just run full site mode.

I couldn't see any pics for days. Finally deleted and re-downloaded the app. Works fine now. Just a suggestion. @fourfarthing

If you’re using the app on the iOS devices, delete the app, download it and log back in. I was having the same problem this week too.

I’m guessing the flavor I’m getting might be a combination of improper water chemistry and the sour stout addition.
It’s a “basic” dry stout recipe—
5 gallon batch
60 minute mash
60 minute boil
6 lbs 2 oz Maris Otter
1 lb 12 oz flaked barley
1 lb black barley (500 °L)
2 oz EKG (6.1%) 60 minutes

I don’t have the Guinness recipe but, in my dry stout I add about 4 oz of Acidulated Malt, that may give you what you’re looking for with the sour stout. Adds a little zip. I have also added my dark and roast malts late in the mash, I have since switched back to the full 60 minutes.

Glad I snagged a 4-pack of this from The Veil. Hmmm what glass will be included in my FotD offer???

It's a nice wall. Small bar and great food. I think it was converted from an old bank. The main bartender has good tastes in booze. I will return and get better pics. They have some good booze

There are so many different theories to replicate the taste of Guinness. Are you using the acidulated malt to adjust your mash pH or just as a flavor enhancer? I’ve never used it before and have just been using Bru’n waters recommended dose of lactic acid for my mash. I’ve also read to pour a pint of HB stout and use a dropper while keeping track and add drops of lactic acid to taste then scale up to your batch size and dose the whole keg.

Speaking of stouts... @JCasey1992 Coconut Milk Stout. This is very good. Nice and mellow and the flavors are very well blended. Might have to hit you up for the recipe. I also like the 5280 name. Being a Colorado boy, I know what it means.

Tea blend and a donut because I'm fat! Judge me

Cannabis tea sample for a batch I'm gonna brew perhaps this weekend with all the trim I have. It'll work...perhaps a bit vegetal.

Gotta work out the dry mouth finish though...not sure, maybe some nonfermentables?

Slow day? Dug about 30 holes for deck in only 103RF. Lost 6lbs! Time to refuel and watch the storm with a HB IPA. 1st storm in about 4 months.

That's my plan. Next beer up will (hopefully) be an imperial milk stout with Apex toasted coconut extract added to the keg. It'll be my first time using an extract and first brew that I'm shooting for upwards of 10%abv.
