Back at the farm. I have homebrew again!

I kegged this just before we went to the city, a little over two weeks ago. I called it “Corn .45”. I brewed it as a Blonde Ale, but it’s basically a malt liquor. A little over 50% flaked corn and corn syrup.

This is a short pour, in a Crown Royal glass :rolleyes:, and I have to say it’s-drinkable. A bit sweet and 7.5% ABV. I have some light beer drinking friends who will like this stuff.

Doesnt one of you around here have a lavender saison they brew?

I think I've seen someone do that here before. I think what I would do, what I have done with non-alcoholic beverages, is use a lavender simple syrup as the primer (for bottles) or use in the keg. Just a thought...
 
Finally got out for supplies, including groceries and a trip to the liquor store. Monday mid-afternoon was a good choice to run errands!

This is a Gose-style beer called Gose Face Quila :yes:, by Parallel 49 Brewing. Brewed with tequila, ginger and lime to 7.0% ABV. It was a leftover seasonal in the singles section.

It's...uhm...a little weird on the nose, but the taste is extra clean and the tequila/lime really comes out. Not sure if I'd buy it again, but it's doing the trick!

One more of the Parallel series that I grabbed. It's a German Leichtbier called Hobby Horse, and I would leave this one. A plain, foamy 3.5% ABV that was like yellow water. Sigh.

Oh well, the second picture is getting back in the game. A Nordic saison from Iceland called Leifur, named for Leif Eiriksson. 6.8% with lots of citrus. Very nice, and if I can find it, it's a regular in my fridge. :rock: Resistance is futile!

PS- Don't mind the wooden spoon and pot, I was stirring my apple juice boil...I'm delving into the world of hard cider!

I think I'm done with alcohol unless it's in the 0-2% range. That one Saison has had my guts in a furry for the last five hours or so...one beer :(

This sh*t is getting old. I should probably start my own thread, but I'm drinking water so :°(

Can you Ebay beer? Out of sight, out of mind...

That’s one of my biggest fears. I have found a hobby I enjoy better than any hobby I’ve had before and then I get to the point of not being able to enjoy the fruits of my labor. I hope it is something just temporary.

OT: Hot bean water while heating strike water for my monk’s beer/Trappist single.

Been dealing with it for years, but it has got progressively worse over time.
 
First time having one of these for me. I think I was expecting something different. Was OK but just not as good as some have described it.

Really depends on conditioning, transportation, how it was handled etc. Time to brew your own! Then you have it fresh. Yum! Tap photo from November 2019.
