What are you drinking now?

Oud Bruin. From 2013. Best by 2023. A beer that didn’t suffer from being in my cellar for 7 years.

And yet another local...

Left over crowler from a roadtrip awhile back. Very malty.

It appears Vulcans are protecting a cash of Romulan Ale

Closish on genre

Looks like some barrel aging and a pizza oven in that set. They didn’t have those pieces when I had Legos.

I’m going with National Brothers Day for the reason for the Legos.

I do like the barrels.

Great refreshing Kolsh with Hibiscus & Guava

HB Irish Stout
I’ve been dosing each pint with a drop of lactic acid and it does make a noticeable difference.
More weather coming in.

I wouldn't have bought this but it’s interesting in a good way.

That’s interesting. I’m pretty meticulous about ph. Do you monitor ph in the mash and throughout the brewing process?

Hoping for a lighting storm but got rain instead. Nice action pic!

HB RIS

Drinking on a classic now. It’s still considered local as the NC brewery is 1.5 hrs away.

Party on Garth!

my last HB dark lager. This is almost 6 months old. It dropped brilliantly clear and is better than ever, of course. Kinda sad to see it go.

Looks great brother! I just recently got into brewing lager after a long run of ipas and stouts. Can’t lie, I love the precision and the balanced needed for lagers so far. They and Saison/farmhouse beers are going to be my new rabbit hole

I do not measure my pH. I use Bru’n Water to work up my water profiles for all my brews and blindly trust it is accurate. In my quest to clone Guinness Draught, I have tried just about everything, I came across this article Dry Irish Stout and was intrigued by the information. Another thing I want to try is to mash the pale malt and flaked barley together with a water profile such as the Wicklow mtns and add a cold steeped tea from the roasted barley late in the boil. Eventually I might nail it.

I’ve found bru’n water to be pretty spot on it’s only ever been about .1 off and that’s most likely due to the srm range of the grains and the municipal water I brew off of.

that’s awesome that you’re trying to tackle the clone. Guinness is great. My wife went to the brewery a few years back on vacation with her family. She said it’s crazy how much better it is in Ireland

A trip to Ireland is on my bucket list. Some of my ancestors immigrated from there. According to ancestry, my DNA is 37% Irish. My sisters visited a few years ago and toured the village where they were born and visited the church where they were baptized. Obviously Guinness is one of my favorites too, but I’m too cheap to spend $10/ 4 pack very often.

Nice glass

Thanks man! Barrel House here in Dayton.

According to mine, I have more
Neanderthal genes then 80% of the general public....and Germany heritage, go figure. Now scientist think Neanderthals were smarter then thomo Sapiens. Sorry man!

[pshankstar]

Dinner beer while working on the retaining wall. Then a beer break b/c my one battery is shot so I only have one now. Damn it! So I had to let it charge. Then the wombat after I finished and tools put away.
Not too shabby of a job for a rookie! Now I can get dirt to fill it in and the dogs won’t wear it down anymore. The darn roots were showing. Ugh!
Cheers everyone!
